Chapter 693: Chapter 383: We Will Be God When the Time Comes!_3
This statement was just to set the scene.
Everyone knows that theoretical physics is simply using mathematics to interpret existing findings and conclusions, and there’s a high probability that most of it is wrong. In fact, from the perspective of the discipline of theoretical physics, whether it is correct or not is not important.
But the outside world thinks differently.
Many people may think that a physics theory must be correct to be meaningful.
This is a mistaken perception.
If a theory can explain many existing findings but is ultimately proven wrong, the process of debunking it can still foster progress in physics. Failure is the mother of success; without wrong theories, there would be no correct ones. The ultimate purpose of proposing a theory is to provide a direction, not to ’ensure correctness’.
Zhao Yi began by clarifying this, then moved onto explaining the potential of particle theory, "The world of particles is very complex. Boundary Theory of particles is a fundamental theory, which has just established the basic mathematical framework."
"Within the system of the mathematical framework, there can be many different directions of development, and its research value lies here."
"Perhaps we can use Boundary Theory of particles to link gravity, electromagnetism, or to study other things, such as investigating the composition of various cosmic rays, or even venture into more minute things, pushing into the realm of Dark Matter that currently only exists in theory, and so on."
"In the system of theoretical physics, there are only two things in the universe: energy and mass. Now my theory has incorporated mass. Although it is not yet perfect and has just been introduced, it can still explain many things on a broader scale..."
Zhao Yi spoke carefully, stating facts, albeit those that required incredibly difficult research.
For instance, Dark Matter.
It’s not even confirmed whether Dark Matter exists, let alone constructing a theoretical mathematical framework for it.
This work massively relies on imagination.
However, it can be surely said that Boundary Theory of particles, being rooted in energy composition, can indeed use its internal structural system to describe the existence and composition of the micro-world and the universe.
So, it’s not an overstatement.
As Du Defa listened, his head started to spin, but he understood one thing: Particle Theory had great research potential.
That was sufficient!
Feigning comprehension, Du Defa kept bobbing his head in agreement. After Zhao Yi finished speaking, Du Defa went on to say, "Indeed, your point makes sense. The Technology Department wants to know whether you are interested in developing Particle Theory by yourself."
"Develop it myself? What do you mean?" Zhao Yi asked, confused. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Zhou Zhengbin, who felt anxious listening, explained directly, "That is, the Technology Department intends to allocate funds to our faculty to invest in building a research center for Particle Theory. You would head the center, and this new research center could gather researchers interested in Particle Theory to conduct related research."
"Not interested."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi immediately lost interest.
"—?" Zhou Zhengbin almost thought he had misheard, and stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yi.
Everyone else had a similar reaction.
Du Defa hadn’t stated it plainly because things were uncertain. They had just held a small meeting and felt that it was necessary to support the development of Particle Theory. After all, it was the first time a domestic scholar had proposed a physics theory that could impact the world, which sounded very impressive.
And yet...
Zhao Yi had flatly refused?
