University of California, Los Angeles.
Jonny-Perlmutter, an elderly professor with white hair, was working on a part-time job in physics--
Reviewing for the renowned physics journal "Classical Gravitation and Quantum Gravitation."
Jonny-Perlmutter, a full professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an expert in astrophysics, gained widespread recognition in the field of theoretical physics for his theory of "Positive and Negative Energy of Celestial Bodies."
Perlmutter was 58 years old and about to retire.
By this age, it became extremely difficult to make any more significant achievements in academic research.
Perlmutter focused on education very early on, but he hadn’t given up on scientific research completely; instead, he became interested in reviewing papers.
He truly loved the job of reviewing papers.
"Classical Gravitation and Quantum Gravitation" was one of the top international academic physics journals, mainly publishing research results of physicists, mathematicians, and cosmologists on gravitation and space-time theories. It led the world in the study of both classical relativity and quantum gravitation.
Due to its high international influence, the journal "Classical Gravitation and Quantum Gravitation" always attracted a wide range of imaginative research papers and manuscripts.
What Perlmutter enjoyed the most was looking at various creative and nonsensical submissions, especially those with utterly absurd content, which further affirmed the success of his own life.
This might be due to his obsession with physics research.
Perlmutter had loved physics since he was young. He devoted his ten most valuable years to researching and producing the "Positive and Negative Energy of Celestial Bodies" theory. However, he couldn’t make any more significant achievements afterward. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Eventually, he was defeated by reality and could only focus on education and rose to the rank of a full professor through his mathematical research.
Seeing these crazy and absurd manuscripts now, Perlmutter felt quite successful. At the very least, his research hadn’t reached such a low point.
"This is so hilarious. They claim multidimensional spaces exist within human cells."
"Supernova radiation study? What’s there to research? Just observe it if you have the technology. What content could there possibly be?"
"Boundary Theory of particles? Particles, boundaries? What on Earth is that? This guy has a wild imagination, claiming particles can have boundaries..."
Perlmutter had planned to review ten manuscripts. After reading the titles of the first three, he decided not to continue reading their content and prepared to reject them outright.
It’s not that he’s being irresponsible.
The claim that "multidimensional spaces exist within human cells" was pure fantasy. The "supernova radiation study" largely relied on observations from astronomers who collected data for research; it wasn’t simply staring at a chart and speculating about supernova radiation.
Similar manuscripts came in every day, some of which were simply boring farces or the so-called "research" of self-righteous laymen. There was no point in scrutinizing them carefully.
As for "Boundary Theory of particles," it contradicted existing theories.
In quantum physics, particle volume is negligible, and no particle type has a defined volume.
If you were to describe it concretely, a particle’s volume would be less than 10 to the -15 power, possibly even as small as 10 to the -30 power.
Why would you try to define boundaries for something so minuscule? Isn’t that just pure imagination?
Perlmutter shook his head in amusement, about to send a rejection email directly.
Suddenly, he stopped.
He saw the name "Zhao-Yi" listed as the author of the submission email.
"I think I’ve heard this name somewhere before."
"Zhao-Yi? With this format, it’s a Chinese name, right?"
"Zhao-Yi, Zhao-Yi, Zhao-Yi... "
Perlmutter repeatedly said the name, then his furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, "Zhao Yi? Goldbach’s Conjecture? Collatz Conjecture? Three-dimensional Seismic Waveforms... "
"Could it be a coincidence? A namesake?"
Perlmutter frowned harder. He checked the submitter’s basic information and found the listed affiliation was "Yanhua University College of Science."
"Yanhua University College of Science? Yanhua University? It must be him!"
Perlmutter took a deep breath, hastily deleted the rejection email, and carefully read the manuscript.
Once he began reading, he couldn’t stop.
Perlmutter became engrossed in the manuscript review, completely forgetting the passage of time.
Although the submission was only about eight pages long, it contained complex mathematical calculations and some unsupported theories that seemed somewhat abstruse and difficult to understand.
More significantly, it was a paper on theoretical physics.
Some unprovable theories in physics exist to help reconcile unexplained phenomena and ultimately unify the mechanics of the universe.
This paper on particle boundaries didn’t clash with any established physical laws, and theoretically explained and described the existence of many physical phenomena.
For example, it explained why absolute zero doesn’t exist.
It explained why particle motion is erratic.
It explained why the Higgs field exists.
These phenomena were all observed during the research process in physics.
Previously, physicists wouldn’t research why absolute zero existed; they simply accepted it as a rule in the universe.
For example: gravitation.
’Gravitation’ is a rule in the universe, but few people ever wonder why the universal gravitational force exists.
