Free Web NovelChapter 496: Chapter 298: Thought I would run into the teacher... cough cough
The same day, back in his dorm room, Zhao Yi didn’t play games with his roommates. Instead, he lay back on his bed, mulling over the inspiration he’d gotten.
The number of scales a fish has isn’t fixed; they can be categorized and range within a certain interval.
The inspiration he received was the idea of ’no pattern’, but the absence of a pattern could apply to many things.
For example, the three-dimensional tremor waveform has no pattern.
Prime numbers also have no pattern.
In nature and physics, there are many things without any pattern. He immediately thought of the movement of particles.
’The movement of particles is entirely without pattern, at least that’s how current physicists perceive it.’
But why is that?
Why is the motion of particles without any pattern?
The question just doesn’t make sense when you think about it.
Zhao Yi, following his train of thought, came upon the concept of ’boundary research in multi-dimensional space.’ Edward Witten believed that the three-dimensional tremor waveform has something to do with the boundary of multi-dimensional space. Zhao Yi had previously struggled to understand this concept, but after thinking about the idea of ’no pattern’, he suddenly began to comprehend it.
Edward Witten, Tom Boer, and some other theoretical physicists link the three-dimensional tremor waveform with their ’boundary research’ in their theories.
It’s not that the waveform actually has to do with ’boundaries.’ Rather, the ’boundary calculation’ needs the waveform as a sort of function, an expression method that is random, yet conveyable.
In talking about the boundary of multi-dimensional space, one presupposition is that the boundary can be points, lines, surfaces, etc., where the multi-dimensional spaces intersect.
Because it involves multiple dimensions, the computation of the boundaries can’t form a cycle, like two lines intersecting at a point, which cannot represent a multi-dimensional space because both the intersecting lines are from the same dimension, and only their intersection can be expressed.
When multiple dimensions are involved, an intersection of one dimension and two dimension might be an entire line located within a three-dimensional space, or it might simply be a point.
Even just the intersection of one and two dimensions can have so many possibilities; the boundaries of multi-dimensional space are even more complicated.
One premise is that boundary calculations cannot form a cycle, indicating that they can’t be expressed through direct equation, loop, or any other bounded or patterned form.
For example, X=Y is a straight line.
A straight line is a cycle, easily expressed and with a visible pattern.
This can’t apply to the boundary of a multi-dimensional space, since boundary calculations that form a cycle result in definite situations, as if the space was closed off.
In the theory of multi-dimensional space in string theory, a space cannot be closed off. Otherwise, it would not be possible for it to relate to the real three-dimensional world.
So, expressing the boundary of a multi-dimensional space requires a way to convey pattern-less yet existing phenomena.
The Riemann Function was good content for describing many theoretical physical things before.
Now the three-dimensional tremor waveform is the best choice.
The three-dimensional tremor waveform is not just a mathematical tool for theoretical physics. It’s more ’simple’ than the Riemann Function, but it lack any patterns as well.
Returning to the issue of particle motion.
’It’s hard to understand why the movement of particles lacks patterns. Why don’t they have rules?’

Why can’t absolute zero be reached in the universe? In other words, why can’t particles stop moving and achieve a perfectly stationary state? freёwebnovel.com
Why does energy exist in a true vacuum, where there’s nothing?
Digging deeper, why does the Higgs field exist and why can it create Higgs particles out of thin air under certain conditions?
And so on.
These mysteries of physics might all be related to ’lack of pattern’?
"This line of thinking is worth considering!"
Zhao Yi pondered thoughtfully, "Many things lack patterns, but why do they lack them?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Even if you can’t prove it, you can at least create a thought process..."
Zhao Yi found his ideas intriguing and dived back into his research. However, with just a flicker of inspiration and no specific research goal, progress was hard to come by.
After burying himself in the topic for a day, he pragmatically returned to attending classes.
Morning came.
Qian Hong arrived carrying a lunchbox, running into Zhao Yi at the doorstep. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Weren’t you conducting research?"
"No inspiration," Zhao Yi shrugged helplessly.
"I canceled my dinner tonight... just to bring you food, and now you..." Qian Hong said with a bitter smile.
"What happened?" Zhao Yi looked puzzled.
Qian Hong slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing something was amiss. It appeared she was getting used to bringing Zhao Yi food, even occasionally doing his laundry. If he didn’t need her help, she felt disappointed.
This attitude was not right!
Zhao Yi didn’t notice Qian Hong’s frustration and asked, "What were you saying earlier, something about canceling something?"
Qian Hong replied with a gloomy expression, "It was my mom, she insisted on having dinner with me."
"Dinner? With your mother? Anyone else?"
"There was also an unknown guy..."
"... A blind date?"
Zhao Yi looked Qian Hong up and down and said, "You indeed should go on a blind date."
"What?" Qian Hong became immediately outraged and widened her eyes, "I’m still young!"
"Of course, Sister Awesome, you’re not old at all. You’re thirty but still very attractive. I’m even attracted to you. How about coming to my place tonight..."
