Wilson Ohanian is a professor of physics at Stanford University, specializing in the direction of high-energy physics. As the former Oliver Barkley Prize winner, he is one of the young physicists who have emerged in recent years.

Although bathed with the envy of his peers, only Ohanian himself knew how hard it was to choose this path.

Limited by the backward technical means, until now they are still verifying that the speculations of the last century are correct, and the exploration of the future has hardly begun.

Fortunately, the Chinese people who have suddenly become rich in these years have generously donated a large imcrc on the crater of the moon to make the development of high-energy physics return to the fast lane.

Such as boat (z) particles.

This particle, which began to fall into the line of sight from the high-dimensional world since the end of last year, broadens the study of high-energy physics directly to the invisible world by n dimensions.

The discovery of the granules of Lu Zhou, also because of this unraveling discovery, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023 and became the candidate of the most outstanding physicist of this century.

At first glance, I saw the broad prospects behind this direction. Ohanian changed the research direction for the first time, entered the study of z-particles, and achieved quite good research on the interpretation of the dimensional change of z-particles. progress.

Not surprisingly, the next Dirac Prize is already in his bag.

however……

Now the accident has obviously happened.

"It’s just fart..."

“Hyperspace channel? Time-space curvature changes?”

"According to this statement, is it possible for me to drill into the other side of the Milky Way as long as I make a hole in the same place?"

He slammed the papers in his hand into a paper basket, and Ohanian’s contempt for his ignorance, and the criticism of the theory of “super space channel” and “time-space curvature change” was worthless.

In fact, his disdain is not without basis.

In general relativity, if the topology of a space changes within a bounded region, there is a closed-time curve in the space-time range in which this change occurs.

The so-called time-like curve is the physical trajectory of a mass object in space and time.

A common explanation for this sentence is that changing the topological structure of space is prohibited by general relativity!

This is not a conjecture, but a theorem that was proved by Stephen Hawking.

In fact, Ohanian produced a similar brain hole long ago when he saw the disturbance of the gravitational field when the z particle fell from a high dimension to a low dimension.

However, this vague brain hole was quickly denied by himself.

Because whether you want to prove this point of view or not, you need a huge amount of computation to support it. Even some mathematicians who specialize in topology and algebraic geometry will find it difficult.

And this, he also confirmed the mathematics professor at Stanford University.

In contrast, he prefers another explanation.

That is, the mass loss occurs when the z particle moves from the high dimension to the low dimension, and the quality loss in the sense of this dimension eventually leads to the smaller gravitational force observed in the classic time and space.

Where did this part of gravity go?

He thinks it may be an extra dimension.

However, this paper is undoubtedly the overthrow of his research, and the Dirac physics award, which he almost seems to be at his fingertips, has gone far...

Professor Ohanian, who was looking at the fire, the assistant of the office stood beside the battle and did not dare to speak.

After his gas seemed to disappear, the assistant swallowed and whispered.

"But the author of this paper is Professor Lu..."

The air in the office solidified for a moment.

Even the fingers of Professor Ohanian’s extension to the coffee cup were solidified on the grip of the coffee cup.

"……what did you say?"

“The thesis was written by Professor Lu... He sent it to arxiv, and I printed all the papers worthy of your tracking in accordance with your requirements.”

The mouth twitched and twitched, and the face maintained a stiff expression. Professor Ohanian still asked without hesitation.

"Is not hanging his correspondent author."

This kind of thing happens from time to time. Not all tutors have that time. Every paper about their students is revised word by word. Especially academic leaders like Lu Zhou, maybe he doesn't remember how many students he has.

It is very helpful to hang the name of the cattle person on the communication author. At least the review editor will not throw the paper into the trash can at the first time. The scholars who correct the paper will be relatively mild when peer review is conducted.

The same thing, just hanging the communication author, can not explain that this paper is the participation of Professor Lu, it is also possible to say that he has not seen this paper.

After all, the papers hanged on arxiv are not just published, just preprinted -

"It's the only author..." Just as O'Hanani was reassuring, the words from his treacherous assistant's mouth completely shattered his brain. "There is only one person's name on the paper." ""

There was a long silence in the office.

After at least ten minutes, Ohanian suddenly sighed, stood up with his hands and stood up, and walked to the side of the trash.

The pages of the smashed papers were picked up from the paper, and they were taken back to the desk to be flattened. Ohanian regained the patience and re-read the entire 20-page essay from beginning to end. .

About a half hour or so passed, and he looked at the half-knowing and whispered.

"Well... I can't say too much to say too much. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, it doesn't necessarily mean it is completely wrong."

I was stunned to see my grumpy boss. It took only half an hour to change my attitude with a hundred and eighty degrees. The assistant standing in the office almost doubted whether it was really Ohani sitting here. Professor Ann - the cow who once argued with the dean for an academic point of view, or even pointed at the other side's nose.

Sucking his mouth, the assistant trembled.

"professor."

With a snoring in the nose, Professor Ohanian did not lift his head back.

"what happened?"

Assistant: "If he is correct... what does this mean?"

"What does it mean? Oh, what it means..."

Like crazy, Professor Ohanian grinned and stared at the paper in motion, as if it had been glued to it.

"It means that the space-time view of general relativity will be subverted, and our understanding of the classic time and space will be refreshed... In fact, this is nothing, anyway, the patch on the physics building is more than two pieces."

"However, the most important thing is..."

Seeing Professor Ohanian’s words in half, he did not continue to speak for a long time, and the unsettled young assistant finally couldn’t help but ask.

"What is the most critical?"

In an almost sure tone, Professor Ohanian said without hesitation.

“The most important thing is that this means that travel in light years will no longer be an unreliable dream.”

"All the sci-fi movies you've seen in the past, whether it's Hollywood or where."

"At least half of them may have a chance to become true."
