Chapter 614: Chapter 352: The Mathematical Charm of Theoretical Physics_3
"Whoosh..."
Laughter erupted once again in the conference hall, and many people started to discuss amongst themselves.
Is unifying mechanics this simple?
If all forces could truly be described with a single law, it would imply that human understanding of the universe has reached a high level. It would not merely be in quantum physics. Other aspects would have surely made significant progress, and the dimension of technology would have advanced by several orders of magnitude.
Zhao Yi continued, "So, if research cannot be proven, why should we still conduct it? For the advancement of academia? For the future of humanity? I do not consider myself to be that grand."
"What I want to discuss next is another attractive aspect of theoretical physics research-- the splendid mathematical construction!"
With a teasing tone, he segued into the main topic of his presentation, "The research I have been doing lately deals with the architectural design of particle energy, part of which involves the analysis of fermions and bosons."
"We all know that fermions and bosons are a pair of particles, which are believed to be symmetric."
"This idea is supersymmetry."
"Fermions and bosons both possess characteristics of symmetry breaking, but their other properties differ drastically. It is hard to think of them as symmetric particles based on their characteristics alone."
"I feel that this ’symmetry’ is imposed by physicists, but according to other theories, they ’must’ be symmetric, otherwise many existing theories would be overthrown."
"So when we conduct research, we must first accept the property of ’supersymmetry’. Even if it has not been proven, it must become a ’premise’, unless it is determined in the research process that it is not symmetric..."
"But let’s not talk about the latter for now."
"Next, using recognized existing research as a foundation, I will shape the mathematics of particles..."
"Please pay attention here..."
At this point, Zhao Yi delved into the main topic. He slowly explained while writing and drawing on the whiteboard. His pace was deliberately slow, hoping that more people could keep up with his thought process and at least understand what he was describing and grasp the overall framework.
According to the thoughts in his mind, an image constructed through mathematical symbols, formulas, and rules was displayed before everyone.
Despite Zhao Yi’s fast explanation pace of around half an hour, he finally put down his pen, stepped back a bit, and smilingly looked at the audience, allowing everyone to carefully observe the content on the whiteboard.
After a while, he asked, "Have you noticed it? The columns at the top and bottom on the left and right, and their overall composition."
The top scholars in the front row easily understood what Zhao Yi was saying. They just smiled as they watched. Some of them were interested in particle mathematics and found Zhao Yi’s analysis of particle energy research quite interesting.
Some people in the back row exclaimed in surprise, "Oh~~ what a coincidence!"
"Yes, the function images of the forward and backward columns form a circle. How is this possible?"
More professional analyses came forward, "If you perform a geometric topology analysis on the left and right columns, you get a perfect sphere, but they are all derived."
"From beginning to end, it seems like they’re not deriving, but drawing with mathematics..."
Of course, many people didn’t understand.
Many people in the venue only held master’s degrees and hadn’t conducted related research in mathematics. When it comes to complex theoretical physics mathematical constructs, it was difficult for them to understand.
But, it was enough.
Zhao Yi couldn’t possibly make everyone understand. Theoretical physics is incredibly complex. By presenting a small part of the research as an example and providing careful explanations, it was already quite remarkable that some people in the audience understood.
He walked back to the table with a smile and gave a short summary, "The study of particle energy composition is a kind of theoretical physics research, and most theoretical physics research is wonderfully beautiful."
"If you go deeper into research, whether it’s string theory, Big Bang, cosmology, or whatever else, you’ll find that their theoretical mathematical constructs are incredibly unbelievable and splendidly beautiful."
"Because of the charm of mathematics in theoretical physics, many scholars fall in love with them and believe they must exist." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Even if they know they won’t be proven and might even be fabricated, they devote themselves to research."
"This is my presentation today: the beauty of mathematics in theoretical physics. I hope that through my explanation, more people will come to love theoretical physics, or rather, research in mathematics." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Thank you, everyone!"
