Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 766: Chapter 416 Edward: You really are a great person!

"Congratulations, Academician Zhao, on deciphering the strong force! That’s such an impressive achievement!"

"We were specifically waiting here so as not to disturb you!"

"Your work is really hard! But the results are pretty impressive too! It seemed unbelievable when I heard about it, your Particle Boundary Theory caught up with string theory in just two years, that’s what Mr. Witten himself said."

"In my opinion, it has already surpassed string theory!"

"Congratulations!"

A group of people crowded in the living room, falling into a frenzy of congratulations.

Zhao Yi was somewhat baffled, he could only smile politely and nod, saying very little. Others took him for being modest. In reality, he hadn’t quite processed it all yet, carefully considering the relationship between the ’2N towards the prime numbers’ expression he had formulated and the strong force.

"Is there a relationship?"

"Seems like there is some relation? Perhaps it is..." He couldn’t fully figure it out in such a short time.

Soon enough.

Edward Witten arrived.

Edward Witten had been actively participating all day, he felt a bit tired and had taken a rest. On hearing that Zhao Yi was awake, he rushed over immediately.

"Congratulations, Zhao Yi!"

"Your induction on characteristic prime numbers has truly been an eye-opener for me!"

"That’s something only God could accomplish..."

Edward Witten’s face was full of awe. He was more aware than anyone else of how difficult it was to formulate the ’2N towards prime numbers’ expression, let alone shape a positive and negative bidirectional function, "This could become a novel interpretation of the strong force."

"Thank you."

Zhao Yi put on a calm face and soon engaged in a discussion with Edward Witten about their previous research, and the process of formulating positive and negative bidirectional functions of the ’2N towards prime numbers’ expression. He completely avoided mentioning the ’strong force’, instead, he tried to steer the conversation to have Edward Witten talk about it.

Before long.

Through Edward Witten’s candid comments, Zhao Yi finally understood the relationship between his research and the ’analysis of the strong force’. freēwēbnovel.com

The strong force, also known as strong nuclear force, is the strongest and the second shortest acting force among the four basic forces in the universe (with a range of approximately between 10^(-15) ~ 10^(-10) m).

The strong interaction initially studied was the nuclear force between nucleons (protons or neutrons). It is the force that binds nucleons into atomic nuclei, overcoming the strong repulsion produced by electromagnetic forces to tightly bind protons and neutrons into an atomic nucleus.

Later, scientists discovered quarks and concluded that quarks are the basic particles involved in strong interactions and they form the fundamental building blocks of matter. Quarks combine to form a type of composite particle called hadrons.

The most stable hadrons are protons and neutrons, the building blocks of atomic nuclei.

One feature of quarks is that they cannot exist independently, a phenomenon known as "quark confinement". They cannot be directly observed or separated out but can only be found within hadrons.

Quarks have another characteristic, or rather, a characteristic of the strong force: the force that binds quarks together, the strong force, increases as the distance grows.

This is clearly counter-intuitive.

Consider gravity, for instance.

Gravity certainly diminishes as distance increases, whereas the force acting to bind quarks into hadrons increases as distance extends. Although there’s no specific numerical value for how much force is generated at what distance, microscale experiments conclude that this happens, at least from a microscopic perspective.

This concept also explains why existing means cannot destroy many elements’ atomic nuclei or separate individual quarks from hadrons.

The positive and negative bidirectional functions now formulated, each point corresponds to a special prime number solution, added together equals 2 to the power of N.

The pair had discussed before the peculiarity of 2 to the power of N, which seems to be closely related to mass. Zhao Yi also proposed a possibility, "Energy point values may ’pursue’ the formation of 2 to the power of N."

"This could also cause a very weak induction force between complementary energy points."

For example, energy points 3 and energy point 5, when added together, precisely equals energy point 8. Thus, energy point 3 coming into contact with energy point 5 could create a weak induction force.

This would result in a situation where each corresponding prime number point of the positive and negative bidirectional function forms a weak induction force with one another. When combined, ’weak’ can be dropped, forming a very strong force, i.e., the strong force.

Once Zhao Yi fully understood it, he found the wonder of it running deep. He immediately engaged in animated discussion with Edward Witten, "Previously, I said that energy point values have a ’pursuit’ towards forming 2 to the power of N, it was just a possibility, much like how people have aspirations, energy might have its pursuits as well."

Edward Witten immediately responded, "Their pursuit is to transcend the three-dimensional space."

"Exactly, just as I thought!" Zhao Yi nodded.

Edward Witten said, "Two-dimensional stacking could possibly go beyond two dimensions. Energy in three dimensions will also seek a way to transcend, perhaps forming a designated energy value is one way. However, I believe, just like how two dimensions are constrained by two-dimensional rules and can’t stack on top of each other, three dimensions also have their rules. Energy that exists in three-dimensional space might not exist at points of 2 to the power of N."

"That’s my thinking as well."

Zhao Yi said, "The three-dimensional universe would impose limits, points at 2 to the power of N might be repelled like mass. Precisely because of this, an interactive force between energy points could be produced. They wish to be together, but are not permitted to under the rules, and can only generate an attractive force."
