The Physics Society within the country is not an official institution but a public academic one, with a long history of almost eighty years.
The Physics Society has a significant influence on the field of physics domestically.
Many renowned physicists, physics researchers, and even some experts in nuclear physics are members of this society. The society also possesses some prestige and voice internationally within the field of applied physics.
However,
Quantum physics is somewhat lacking.
The Physics Society holds academic seminars on various topics each year, and the one on quantum physics is among the least influential.
This is related to the scarcity of quantum physicists within the country, and the fact that most of the outstanding quantum physicists concentrate in the Physics Department of the Science Academy.
They can conduct exchanges amongst themselves.
Each annual seminar on quantum physics by the society hardly attracts attention. Just two or three people from the Physics Department of the Science Academy would attend, with the rest being delegates from various universities and research institutes for participation and learning. There’s a shortage of scholars genuinely interested in exchanging ideas at the conference.
Xiao Zhibei is a standing director of the Physics Society, partially responsible for the Academic Exchange Committee with the organization of the quantum physics seminar under his supervision.
Two months before the seminar, it was decided that the venue would be Jiangzhou University, and invitations started going out a month before.
The attendees of the Physics Society’s academic conferences are not fixed. ’Physics graduate students’ or famous independent physicists can apply to attend, but those who are not invited must pay a certain fee, essentially a ’ticket’ to enter.
Hosting an academic conference indeed incurs expenses, and charging some ’participation ticket cost’ could offset a large part of the expenditure.
In addition, there are invited physicists and well-known scholars.
These groups form the core of the conference.
To make the academic seminar more successful, the participation of more influential figures is required. Xiao Zhibei put in a lot of work, personally writing invitation letters to hundreds of renowned physicists.
The rest of the conference organizers also wrote many invitation letters.
Here lied the difference.
Those who were ’almost impossible to attend’ received an official invitation letter, while those who ’might attend’ were written letters meticulously.
Unsurprisingly,
Zhao Yi was put in the ’almost impossible to attend’ category.
Firstly, he is a mathematician. Even if counted as a physicist, due to the Particle Boundary Theory, he falls into the ’theoretical physicist’ category.
While Zhao Yi confirmed the discovery of Higgs particles first, he used computer methods, not pure physics.
This achievement is just an achievement, and couldn’t be used to label his identity.
Secondly, in the academic world, it is known that Zhao Yi rarely attends academic conferences.
Regardless of mathematics, physics, computer science, or biology, whether international or domestic, many academic conferences of various disciplines and fields have invited Zhao Yi, but all have been directly rejected.
Thus, Xiao Zhibei merely sent Zhao Yi an official invitation email, forwarded only after remembering it two weeks later.
"Just sending an email is not a big deal, if it’s rejected, then it’s rejected." was Xiao Zhibei’s thought, he forgot about the email after he sent it, not giving it any care.
However...
The next day, when Xiao Zhibei opened the official mailbox, he saw a new reply.
The reply was inconspicuous in the inbox, but the signed name was very alluring.
"Zhao Yi? He replied to the email?"
Xiao Zhibei opened the email with a bit of surprise, looked at the dozen or so words in the letter, rubbed his eyes hard, and then looked at the screen intently again.
No doubt!
They were the same words!
"Thank you for the invitation, I will attend the conference?" Xiao Zhibei read carefully and couldn’t help taking a deep breath, full of surprise and incredulity, immediately followed by immense joy.
That was Zhao Yi!
He’s the world’s most famous genius mathematician, his research spans across multiple fields such as computer science, physics, biology, etc., and he is Zhao Yi, who rarely participates in academic conferences...
"Can Zhao Yi be invited? If this news comes out, there must be many people who will attend, right?"
"Those who refused to participate will regret it..."
"This time it is held at Jiangzhou University. Doesn’t Zhao Yi barely count as a returnee? Could it be because it is held at Jiangzhou University?" freēwēbnovel.com
Xiao Zhibei thought carefully, still a bit uncertain, he didn’t know if he made a mistake or if Zhao Yi genuinely wanted to attend, and the materials submitted by Zhao Yi even included giving a presentation. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
This matter was highly uncertain.
He didn’t know Zhao Yi well, but felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask further via email, and he didn’t know his phone number, so he simply told Ruan Wenye about it.
Ruan Wenye is a leading figure in domestic quantum physics research. He had gone to Europe with Zhao Yi to perform collision experiments at the nuclear organization.
Ruan Wenye was also surprised at Xiao Zhibei’s words, "You’re saying, Zhao Yi replied to you, saying he’ll attend the quantum conference, and also agreed to give a presentation?"
Xiao Zhibei answered affirmatively, "Yes, that’s what the email and the materials say."
"I see."
Ruan Wenye then hanged up and immediately called Zhao Yi. Unlike Xiao Zhibei who had reservations, Ruan Wenye openly asked about the quantum conference.
