Apparently.
Smute was younger than Perlmutter and had a higher level of mathematical ability.
Perlmutter couldn’t understand some of the mathematical structures and arguments, while Smute was able to directly understand some, and with some obscure references, he could gradually comprehend them.
Soon it was the next morning, and Smute, as if he had found something he loved, didn’t want to sleep at all, only wanting to understand the entire content of the paper. He stayed up all night and by the time he woke up, it was already daylight.
Smute stared at his red eyes, stood up and stretched, ready to drink a cup of coffee.
At that moment, the door of the office was pushed open.
Brown, his colleague, walked in and, seeing Smute’s strange state, asked in surprise, "George, you didn’t stay up all night, did you?"
"Hmm."
Smute nodded lightly.
Brown immediately said with concern, "We have a lot of work, but you don’t need to stay up. You should go get some sleep. When the universe’s center is built, I want you to still be my colleague and work with me, not for me to put a picture in front of your tombstone."
"..."
Smute was stung by the poison tongue, feeling an urge to strike back, but Brown’s words hit home. He really was feeling tired.
He went to the nearby break room and slept for more than three hours before getting up at noon to continue working.
There was no time to read the manuscript now.
As Smute worked, his mind was elsewhere, and several mistakes were made, causing his coworkers to drive him out of the workspace, "George, if you’re not in good condition, go rest. Don’t get in the way here!"
"Alright!"
Smute reluctantly left the workspace and couldn’t help but continue to look at the paper when he returned.
The paper, less than ten pages in total, had obscure mathematical content that required a lot of time to understand.
By nine o’clock that night, Smute finally understood everything and, suppressing his excitement, completed the review, "This is a very novel, very attractive theory, suitable for establishing a new theoretical discipline."
"It contains the perfect mathematical structure for describing particle boundaries, which can be used to explain many physical phenomena. I believe that like string theory, it will become a new theory widely studied in the world of physics."
"To put it bluntly, I’m already hooked. From now on, I will be a fanatic of the particle boundary theory and regard it as one of the most important research directions in the future."
After receiving Smute’s review comments, Roles selectively forgot Lisa-Randall’s review and submitted the manuscript to the journal, marked as ’accepted’.
According to the rules of the advisory committee, as long as one of the peer reviewers accepts the paper, it can be submitted for approval, and the final decision lies with the journal whether to publish it or not.
They are just "advisory consultants" and not the heads of the journal.
While the journal’s editorial group has many factors to consider, for this particular manuscript, there was no doubt that it would be accepted.
Because the author was Zhao Yi.
That was Zhao Yi!
Academic celebrities have privileges, especially people like Zhao Yi, who are recognized worldwide as top scholars and researchers, and their papers will be accepted as long as there are no problems.
Any journal would not offend the top figures in the academic circle for no reason. After all, they are just institutions that publish papers, not those that give awards for research achievements.
Even if the content of the paper itself may be controversial, it’s the author’s responsibility, not related to the journal, and publishing influential papers can increase the journal’s weight and influence.
Therefore, the final result would definitely be acceptance.
A week later, the new issue of "Classics and Quantum Gravity" was released, and as one flipped open the table of contents, the third item was "Microcosm: Particle Boundary Theory".
...
The capital.
Shuimu University Conference Hall.
The Biomedical Research Institute was giving a report on the application project. There were quite a few people attending the report meeting, and the institute had sent a team of as many as seventeen people.
Present at the scene were not only the staff responsible for reviewing projects at the National Scientific Research Fund, but also some observers from Shuimu Affiliated Medical College, affiliated hospitals, and surrounding hospitals and research institutions.
The Biomedical Research Institute had applied for seven projects.
Zhao Yi’s laboratory had applied for the largest project, ’Molecular Mechanism of Vif Hijacking Human Immune Cells’, along with three smaller projects and projects from other laboratories. The institute had applied for funding totaling 13 million yuan, nearly one-tenth of the National Scientific Research Fund’s budget for AIDS research.
The Biomedical Research Institute was indeed a major research institution.
A tenth of the funding may not seem like much, but the Biomedical Research Institute applied for all pathological mechanism projects.
A large part of the National Scientific Research Fund’s budget for AIDS research is invested in prevention and detection, not entirely for research funding. In terms of research funding alone, over 10 million yuan could occupy more than one-third.
The estimated AIDS research funding applied for by Shuimu University Affiliated Medical Research Laboratory is around 6 million yuan.
Therefore, the project application report meeting is very important.
However, those who came to the meeting knew that the report meeting is just a formality. In China, professional medical mechanism research is not a project bidding process, and the applicant does not occupy a disadvantaged position, and can even be said to be relatively strong.
Because, technical strength.
There are only a handful of domestic institutions capable of conducting high-end medical mechanism research, and the Biomedical Research Institute is a key national medical institution with a large research team and high-end research achievements every year.
From the moment the National Scientific Research Fund decided on the research funding budget, the Biomedical Research Institute would take at least a quarter of it, and it would be questioned why it did not apply for funding if it did not make an application.
The report meeting is just a formality, but it still has to be done.
The Biomedical Research Institute gave a detailed account of each applied project and explained the advantages of its laboratories in terms of technology and research strength.
Several representatives took the stage to speak.
As the laboratory with the largest number of projects and the highest funding, Zhao Yi’s laboratory naturally sent someone to speak. At first, it was Ai Lixin, and later, when it came to larger projects, Zhao Yi simply went up himself.
Zhao Yi was reporting on the medical mechanism project for the first time, but he was not nervous at all, because the manuscript had been prepared in advance.
He just read it as it was.
After reading for more than twenty minutes, he bowed to the audience, and the applause immediately followed.
This was really symbolic.
Zhao Yi didn’t feel anything; he hoped to find some sense of achievement in giving the report, only to find that going through the motions was really boring.
After he returned to his seat, there was nothing for him to do, so he simply started to doze off and earn some ’Rest Coins’.
[Extra sleep, Study Coin +2!]
[Extra sleep, Study Coin +2!]
[Extra sleep, Study Coin +2!]
After the three system notifications had passed, the conference was almost over.
Zhao Yi was about to leave with the crowd.
A young project reviewer suddenly rushed over, his face full of joy, and said to Zhao Yi, "Congratulations, Professor Zhao!"
"What?"
Zhao Yi paused, confused. Was there anything worth congratulating about applying for a project? And wasn’t it inappropriate for the reviewer to say this?
Several people nearby also stopped.
Yan Xuelin from the front came over, looked at the project reviewer strangely, then looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "Do you guys know each other?"
It seemed strange for a National Scientific Research Fund project reviewer to congratulate a research applicant. Even if there were some secrets between them, the congratulations shouldn’t be so open, right?
"No!"
The young project reviewer quickly shook his head, knowing he had been misunderstood, "I’m not here to congratulate you on your project application, but to congratulate Zhao Yi!"
"Zhao Yi?"
"What happened to Zhao Yi?"
"You don’t know?" The project reviewer laughed, "I just saw on my phone that Zhao Yi’s particle research has been published in a renowned physics journal."
"Oh~~"
"I see!"
"Really?"
"Let’s check."
Others who had gathered around finally understood and quickly opened their phones to check the news.

There were many latest news stories online related to Zhao Yi’s latest physics research, and some headlines were really explosive--
"The First Pioneer in China, Zhao Yi’s Particle Boundary Theory!"
"Zhao Yi Publishes World-Shocking Research Results in Renowned International Physics Journal!"
"Particle Boundary Theory, Shocking the Whole World!"
...
...
Zhao Yi was very surprised by the headlines of the news.
Although he had confidence in his research, he never thought it would become so sensational.
Pioneering?
That’s too exaggerated!
Actually, there was a reason for the domestic media’s exaggerated reporting. It was all because of the comment by George Smute, a reviewer of "Classics and Quantum Gravity>," "This is a very novel and attractive theory, enough to establish a new theoretical discipline."
Who is George Smute?
He is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Would the newly-minted Nobel Prize winner in Physics, who can apply for the construction of a cosmology center, exaggerate to praise Zhao Yi?
Obviously not.
So it must be that Zhao Yi’s research is astonishing, highly valuable, and far-reaching, leaving George Smute extremely shocked, prompting him to give such a commendation.
As for what Zhao Yi’s research is about...
Anyway, until now, most people, to be more precise, non-theoretical physicists, have not fully understood it.
Particles?
Boundaries?
Many people’s first reaction to the title was, "Isn’t the boundary of particles just electrons?"
Those who are fairly educated would think of electrons orbiting around the atomic nucleus, similar to planets orbiting around a star, and naturally understand electrons as the boundaries of particles.
Zhao Yi’s thesis content is not worth mentioning.
Not to mention ordinary people or laymen; even experienced physicists may not understand it. In general, everyone feels that it’s quite impressive.
Because it’s basically incomprehensible, having exaggerated reporting doesn’t matter too much.
For those who can really understand the content of the paper, physicists and mathematicians alike, they are more interested in studying the content of the paper and have not yet been able to express their opinions on the content.
So the online public opinion was shocked.
