Chapter 992: Chapter 497 Qiu Chengwen: Am I a Cobbler?_1

In the following week, Zhao Yi spent his time discussing the "Superconducting antigravity" issue with Li Ning. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

At first, it was mostly Li Ning who explained the principles of "Superconducting antigravity," which seemed not too complex on the surface. However, in reality, the theory involved many aspects, such as complex electromagnetic fields and ionic properties discovered during experiments.

And so on.

Zhao Yi didn’t know much about these, but he began to engage in deeper discussions with Li Ning later on. He explained some issues from a microscopic perspective.

Li Ning’s approach was from a macroscopic perspective.

Their different angles on the "Superconducting antigravity" issue stemmed from their work in different fields of research.

If physicists were to be categorized, the biggest division would be between theoretical and experimental physicists. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Zhao Yi was a theoretical physicist, whose research in Boundary Theory used particle mathematics to explain the microscopic world.

Li Ning, on the other hand, leaned more toward experimental physics.

In the academic pecking order, theoretical physicists stood at the apex of the pyramid while experimental physicists occupied a subordinate position. However, in reality, experimental physicists were more likely to win Nobel Prizes because experimental physics required a combination of theory and experiment. Their experiments were tests of theories, and the Nobel Prize valued empirical proof over the profundity of theories.

When viewing problems from different perspectives, they each made significant discoveries.

Of course, there were also controversies.

Zhao Yi directly pointed out that Li Ning’s assertion about the "self-selected new field by ionic lattices" was nonsensical from the perspective of particle mathematics.

He gave a detailed explanation.

Li Ning fervently defended his theory, believing that the constructs of particle mathematics did not align with reality and were mostly incorrect.

Then, using already proven microscopic theories, Zhao Yi provided a detailed data analysis to substantiate his argument. Li Ning found the complex mathematical framework challenging to comprehend but nonetheless attempted to understand it. He realized that the "new force field" argument indeed lacked support, yet he continued to address related issues based on his own understanding.

Along with controversies and discussions, a week quickly passed.

By that time, the discussion had almost concluded.

Zhao Yi had grasped Li Ning’s "Superconducting antigravity" theory and also expressed his own thoughts. "Professor Li, I am very interested in your theory and am eager to prove it," he said.

"However, designing experiments on a whim and expecting to verify it relies heavily on luck."

"If the theory is incorrect, no matter how you design the experiment, there will be no results. Therefore, my plan is to first establish a theoretical model to deduce precisely how to design the experiment and what kind of experimental effects it will produce."

"Are you interested in this?"

"Of course!"

Li Ning nodded excitedly, "This is my highest achievement; I’ve always wanted to verify it, whether it’s right or wrong."

Zhao Yi assured him, "I believe it is correct."

Li Ning took it as a morale booster rather than paying it much attention, but still, he looked forward to working with Zhao Yi on perfecting the theory.

For him, this was a brand-new challenge.

As an experimental physicist, truly, Li Ning had only proven the "Superconducting antigravity" issue from a macroscopic perspective, and hadn’t approached it microscopically; his deductions were based on experiments, making it impossible to explain concretely "why superconducting leads to antigravity."

Zhao Yi was internationally recognized as a top-tier mathematician and physicist who had also created the renowned "Boundary Theory."

If Zhao Yi were to assist in the theoretical research of "Superconducting antigravity," there would undoubtedly be breakthroughs on the issue.

Meanwhile, Li Ning was also nervous.

He wasn’t worried that Zhao Yi would fail to complete the validation work, but that his own theory might be wrong and eventually proven incorrect, rendering his life’s work meaningless and turning it into a joke.

Zhao Yi understood Li Ning’s conflicting feelings, but all he could do was construct a theory combining Li Ning’s ideas with microscopic physics and mathematics, to explain why "superconducting would cause antigravity."

As for the theory being incorrect...

Zhao Yi was merely being "polite" by mentioning it. With Li Ning’s detailed explanation of the theory, he had enough to work with. Using the "Law of Cause and Effect," he effortlessly obtained results.

Naturally, they were correct—at least the results were.

The mathematical construction work for "Superconducting antigravity" aimed to validate "Superconducting antigravity" and discover experimental methods to confirm the theory.

Zhao Yi set aside the "Boundary Theory" and some complex, unverifiable particle mathematics to focus on verified content. Combining this with Li Ning’s macroscopic assertions, he conducted a detailed mathematical analysis of the problem.

This might seem meaningless to Zhao Yi, as if he was doing the work of an experimental physicist.

In reality, Zhao Yi found it extremely meaningful because the mathematical construction of "Superconducting antigravity" narrowed the distance between particle mathematics and macroscopic physics. He could use the final mathematical framework to connect particle mathematics issues and ultimately establish a more microscopic mathematical logic system with the Boundary Theory.

Then he could provide a more detailed explanation of "Superconducting antigravity" to find other "antigravity" methods based on theory.

This constituted a pathway.

Having made his decision, Zhao Yi joined Li Ning in patiently conducting their research, and soon they encountered a major problem--
