Chapter 463: Chapter 280: Dimensional Boundaries and Waveform Diagrams_2

Zhao Yi had always known.

He had met Kibor before, and the old man seemed somewhat confused, perhaps even fit for a mental hospital in normal life.

Kibor claimed that the three-dimensional vibration waveform could be used to prove the boundary of cosmic strings, which is the interface of space and space in the universe.

It was Zhao Yi’s first time hearing about the theory of ’cosmic strings,’ but he didn’t pay too much attention to it, thinking that Kibor’s research was too fantastical.

Now he was hearing similar remarks again, this time from a very famous and seemingly normal physicist.

This physicist had even won the Fields Medal.

"Could it be that three-dimensional vibration waveforms truly contain the secrets of multi-dimensional space?" Zhao Yi became a bit interested.

Although he wasn’t particularly interested in theoretical physics, the connection between the three-dimensional vibration waveform and the mysterious multi-dimensional space seemed kind of intriguing.

Edward quickly realized something frustrating: the young man in front of him clearly lacked an understanding of string theory, but he still wanted to discuss the waveform with him and even hoped to collaborate on the mathematical construction of string theory. So Edward started explaining the basics of string theory.

The world of theoretical physics contains many imagined theories, but they are not simply the products of wild imagination. They arise to provide explanations for the basis of our understanding and to help us better comprehend the fundamental changes in the universe.

String theory emerged to reconcile two seemingly incompatible core physics theories - quantum mechanics and the General Theory of Relativity - and is intended to create a "Theory of Everything" to describe the entire universe. Its derivative ’Superstring Theory’ can address questions related to black holes.

Edward Witten is a prominent supporter of string theory.

Twenty years ago, Edward made significant contributions to the study of gravitational anomalies, paving the way for the first revolution in string theory. He later mathematically refined string theory and developed the famous M Theory, claiming that ’M Theory is an undiscovered unified theory.’

So far, string theory only exists in the minds of physicists, and proving it is extremely difficult. To prove the existence of string theory, some adjustments need to be made to our normal description of the universe, implying that more dimensions of space and time exist than the four we currently know.

Supporters of string theory believe that these hidden dimensions are incredibly small, making them difficult to detect.

In other words...

To prove string theory, one needs to find the ’other dimensions.’

This is also why string theory has a large number of opponents and detractors. Many theoretical physicists consider string theory to be extremely absurd.

Of course, when something exists with a large number of supporters, it must have its merits.

Research on string theory is only in its initial stages and far from complete, but it has already explained many things.

Edward has been engaged in string theory research for a long time and even teaches related courses at Princeton University, helping students gain an understanding of string theory. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Any physicist hopes to one day prove their research, as their research is akin to their personal faith. Edward is no exception; he hopes to see the day when string theory is proven and has worked tirelessly on perfecting it.

As a theory is continually refined, people will develop a deeper understanding of it, making it easier to prove.

While studying waveforms, Edward discovered that their mathematical logic might potentially be used to analyze the dimensional boundaries of string theory.

"If we can complete the calculation of spatial dimensional boundaries, we might find a way to discover other dimensions, right?"

That was Edward Witten’s idea.

This is why he took his discussion with Zhao Yi about waveforms so seriously. Realizing that Zhao Yi had little understanding of string theory, he gave a detailed explanation, including some completed mathematical calculations.

He spoke non-stop for two hours, leaving Edward’s mouth parched.

Gao Yihua, who sat nearby, couldn’t take it anymore. He tried to follow the train of thought for 20 minutes but quickly fell behind as he didn’t have enough understanding of string theory. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Phil, who had followed Edward for a long time and knew a lot about string theory and even conducted related research, couldn’t keep up after an hour.

As for the teacher attending... well, let’s pretend he didn’t exist. He was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly studying the scenery outside. He was probably thinking, "This neighborhood has a nice environment. When I have enough money, I’ll buy a place here too..."

Zhao Yi managed to keep up.

Most of what Edward talked about involved mathematical problems, which showcased his exceptional mathematical skills. In the study of string theory, mathematical calculations play a significant role.

Only through rigorous calculation can a theory be placed accurately on paper as functions and equations, making it as thorough as possible.

Although Zhao Yi managed to follow the logic, his head still throbbed. He quickly consumed three Study Coins to replenish his energy. In just two hours, he had absorbed an overwhelming amount of information.

When Edward finally stopped to catch his breath, Zhao Yi remembered to fetch several cups of water for everyone in the living room, taking the opportunity to reorganize his thoughts as well.
