Chapter 612: Chapter 352: The Mathematical Charm of Theoretical Physics
The first report ended ahead of schedule, and the host announced a twenty-minute break.
Taking advantage of the break, Huang Zhong took the opportunity to come to Zhao Yi’s side and discussed his own research with him, mainly focusing on the mathematical framework.
Zhao Yi was very interested in the discussion and pointed out the mistakes in Huang Zhong’s research but was still very interested in Huang Zhong’s research ideas and thoughts.
Others listened to the conversation and were amazed at Zhao Yi’s "brainpower."
The level of Huang Zhong’s research was definitely high.
This top-level theoretical physics research involves very advanced mathematics, and it’s not easy to understand. Following the explanation and understanding the train of thought is already impressive.
In fact, it’s like a high school student who, even if their academic performance is not bad, suddenly encounters a Mathematical Olympiad problem. Without prior thinking and just listening to the teacher’s step-by-step explanation at a very fast pace, skipping the calculations directly, it is already impressive to be able to follow and understand.
And what about the result?
Zhao Yi directly pointed out the mistake, which was really surprising.
Huang Zhong was truly "impressed" with Zhao Yi’s level of expertise. He had been doing his research all along without noticing the problem, only to have Zhao Yi directly point it out. In their exchange, Huang Zhong found that Zhao Yi was very proficient in the mathematical construction problems of microscopic physics.
Microscopic physics is a general term for particle physics and quantum physics. Some theoretical physics could also be included, and the mathematical structure of microscopic physics is even more theoretical. Theoretical physics is a branch of mathematics, so the mathematical construction of microscopic physics is purely mathematical in nature.
Many physicists study microscopic physics, and most physicists are interested in the composition of particles. Researching particle composition using mathematical methods can be called "particle mathematics."
Huang Zhong is a researcher of "particle mathematics," and Zhao Yi is also studying particle mathematics. The two have a lot in common in this area. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Zhao Yi mentioned some of his own ideas, mainly focused on particle boundary theory, which discusses the problem of particle energy distribution.
"I have studied your particle boundary theory, and it’s very interesting. It has been very helpful for my research."
Huang Zhong eagerly said, "I really hope to have more opportunities to exchange and explore this field with you in the future."
"You’re always welcome to visit Yanhua University," Zhao Yi replied with a smile.
In fact, he still felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that Huang Zhong’s tone was too polite and had a sense of respect. He was only 21 years old, and being addressed as "you" by a nearly fifty-year-old professor made him feel a bit awkward.
Of course.
In an academic exchange, the best should come first, and he is certainly deserving of respect.
Soon after.
The second presenter went on stage, Professor Lin Li from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Science Academy.
Lin Li is a researcher at the Science Academy, belonging to the Institute of High Energy Physics, and is engaged in the research of high-energy physics, accelerator technology, and high-energy astrophysics.
The Institute of High Energy Physics of the Science Academy is a very important institution for quantum physics research in China. The only collider in the country, the positive and negative electron collider, belongs to the Institute of High Energy Physics and is located in the Capital.
The Capital’s positive and negative electron collider was built under the supervision of the highest leadership team in the last century and has accomplished many important scientific missions.
In the past decade, the most significant research achievement is the precise measurement of the R-value in the 2-5 GeV electron energy range carried out by the Capital Spectrometer International Cooperation Group. The results have been highly evaluated by the international high-energy physics community.
Of course.
Ultimately, the performance of the Capital’s positive and negative electron collider is behind the times and is already on a countdown to obsolescence. However, as the only collider in the country, the researchers engaged in related studies still have a relatively high level of achievement.
Lin Li is a member of the Capital Spectrometer International Cooperation Group and has produced many achievements in the field of high-energy physics research.
Although he is just an ordinary researcher, in the field of high-energy physics and accelerator technology, he believes that he’s no worse than anyone else. Coming to a quantum physics seminar to give a presentation, he had confidence in his research.
That was the original plan.
Now Lin Li’s mentality had changed. The previous presenter, Huang Zhong, was also very impressive and was a top figure in domestic theoretical physics research, yet he ended up pointing out mistakes during his presentation.
"Is there something wrong with my report?"
During the 20-minute break, Lin Li had been carefully considering his presentation and found nothing wrong. But surely Huang Zhong must have thought there was no problem with his own presentation before going up?
But what if?
If there is a mistake and it gets pointed out directly, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
Lin Li cared a great deal about this.
In fact, it’s related to the "academic contempt chain." Within the field of physics research, there are significant differences. Lin Li’s best achievement is in accelerator technology, but accelerator technology is considered "engineering" rather than quantum physics science.
As a main researcher in "engineering," Lin Li partly carries the label of "engineer."
Although no one openly said this, Lin Li didn’t want to make mistakes in his report in public, fearing that people behind the scenes would ridicule him, saying "Researchers in engineering can only reach this level!"
So Lin Li was somewhat uneasy when he went on stage. He looked at Zhao Yi several times, his eyes revealing a sense of "timidity" and "worry."
Zhao Yi found the gaze inexplicable, as he did not know Lin Li at all. Why would the other party look at him with such eyes?
