While the attention of countless people is attracted by the so-called CERN review incident, Faltins, from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the United States, who has just returned to work after a leisure vacation in his hometown in Germany, is reading the article edited by the editor.

Papers sent personally by Hank Andrew.

It has been nearly seven hours since Faltings saw it in the morning, and he barely finished reading it for the first time.

If you really want to give a serious opinion on such a major paper that touches on the millennium problem, you will have to spend at least a week or so reading it carefully.

Faltins rubbed his sore forehead.

These two young Xia Guo mathematicians are very accomplished in nonlinear partial differential equations. Faltings is not particularly good at this direction. This paper is very difficult to read, but the sparkling creativity in it is very similar to that of Faltings.

The amazing mathematical talents and the most moving mathematical scenery they painted together made a pure mathematician like him fascinated and unable to stop.

Time passed very quickly in concentration. At the customary afternoon tea break, Hank Andrew came over and invited him to drink coffee in the coffee corner.

Faltings just wanted to change his mind, so he accepted the invitation.

When we arrived at the coffee corner, as expected, old friends such as Professor Edward Witten, Professor Fefferman, Professor Deligne, Professor Elon Lindenstrauss, etc. were gathering together to drink coffee and chat.

Not only them, the coffee corner that can seat dozens of people is basically full.

Many sparks of thinking that shine in the world of mathematics actually come from such a relaxed and leisurely chat atmosphere. This is also the unique cultural atmosphere in top Western universities such as Princeton.

Seeing Faltings coming over, Professor Witten smiled and said: "Faltings, didn't you just come back from a long vacation yesterday? Why do you still look tired?"

Professor Deligne looked at Faltings' tired and excited expression, and pretended to guess: "I think Faltings must have read the article "Proof of the Mass Gap Problem of the Yang-Mills Equation" one day.

and "Mathematical Interpretation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics". Do you think my guess is correct?"

Professor Lindenstrauss smiled and said: "There is no need to guess at this. Everyone here, if you have not read this paper in the past two days, please raise your hands."

Sure enough, no one raised their hands.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"It is indeed a very good paper." Professor Fefferman said: "I have been reading it carefully because I am worried that when students ask questions about this paper, I will not be able to answer it and I will be embarrassed."

Professor Deligne smiled and said: "I think there is a saying on the Internet that is right. This paper is too difficult. It is normal to not understand it. Even Professor Lyons, who has been recognized as the master of partial differential equation theory in the past twenty years,

They all said that it was very difficult to read, let alone those of us who are not "laymen" who specialize in this direction. I am really curious how they can master several directions at the same time. They have already studied the direction of pure numbers (number theory)

Extremely, now even the direction of partial differential equations is unmatched by anyone."

Professor Linden-Strauss shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is not surprising that any genius is born in mathematics. What I am more interested in is when they will hold an academic report conference for the whole world. Such Millennium Mathematics

The problem has been completely overcome again, and a public academic report should be held just like the original Riemann Hypothesis and N-S equation, right?"

Professor Fefferman smiled and said: "They have to hold it even if they don't hold it. Without a detailed explanation, 99.99% of mathematicians will not understand this paper. I heard that this paper was submitted to your "Annals of Mathematics", right? Are you going to find it?

What experts will review it?”

The last words were obviously addressed to Faltins and Hank Andrew.

Hank Andrew said with a bitter look on his face: "The difficulty of this paper is really too high, and it is not a purely mathematical paper. It involves many advanced theories of particle physics. Except for Professor Witten, I really can't think of any other ones."

Mathematicians can be the review experts for this paper. It can’t be like that of Physical Review Letters, where mathematicians are used to review the mathematics part and physicists are used to review the physics part, right?”

Everyone laughed again. The original paper "Research on Large-Scale Circulation Forms and Kinetic Energy Change Characteristics Using N-S Equations" co-authored by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun took up nearly one-third of the page because of the advanced mathematical operations.

Looking at the entire physics community, no one could understand the mathematical process inside. The "Physical Review Letters" that received the manuscript had no choice but to divide the paper into two parts and found Professor Sreenivasan, a master of fluid mechanics, and the California Institute of Technology.

Professor Tao from the university is responsible for reviewing the physics and mathematics sections respectively.

This incident became a legend throughout the physics and mathematics circles, so Hank Andrew made fun of it.

Faltings had a rare smile on his always ancient face: "The physics part of this article only accounts for less than ten percent, and it is a reference to the conclusion. It will not affect the core mathematics part of the paper. I

I don’t think it’s necessary to find physicists for review. As for the selection of review experts, I think it’s enough to give IMU a headache. Such a significant paper is of great significance to the world of mathematics and physics. IMU is afraid that it will have to find two or three experts all over the world.

Ten experts have come together to review. Professor Witten will definitely be one of them. You are a great expert in supersymmetric gauge field theory and particle physics theory."

Edward Witten smiled and said: "It is an honor for me to be a judge of this great paper. However, the 10% physics content in the paper has caused considerable controversy."

Professor Lindenstrauss nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that even CERN has raised objections to this part of the content. But I think it is more likely that it is misinformation. The European academic community where CERN is located currently has no opinion on Qin Ke and Ning Qing.

I still have a good impression of Jun. Just last month, the two of them solved a major life-and-death crisis for the European aviation industry, preventing countless passengers from being threatened by extreme airflow disasters at high altitudes. The public also has a very good impression of them.

Even if CERN has any different views, they will only communicate privately through emails at most, and will not make the matter known to the public."

A voice with a strong nasal voice came from the table next to him: "CERN really won't do such stupid things. What Academicians Qin and Academicians Ning put forward in the paper is just a hypothesis, and it is a physical hypothesis based on mathematical theory. This

Whether a hypothesis can become reality requires verification by experimental physics. It is a very low-level approach to criticize a hypothesis without any experimental verification. CERN will obviously not make such a mistake."

Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was Professor Duncan Haldane from the Department of Physics at Princeton. He was a great expert in physics, especially particle physics. He had won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 and was currently

Is a tenured professor at Princeton.

This talented person is currently working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and he and Faltings and others are all acquaintances and colleagues who never look up from each other.

Everyone invited him to come over and chat with him.

Professor Duncan Haldane was not polite. After sitting down, he said: "I can't understand their paper, but I am very interested in the hypotheses they put forward. This is the first paper in the world to calculate the results through mathematical theory so far."

A paper that publishes the precise mass of the W boson, if their calculation results are verified..."

Professor Lindenstrauss couldn't help but ask: "What if it is verified?"

"Then the hypothesis they put forward is very likely to be true, and the mystery of dark matter will be unveiled. If the current experiment cannot verify it, it may only be due to the limitations of the current experimental conditions. This is different from the original Yang-Mill

Sri Lanka's theory can calculate and predict eight kinds of fundamental particles, and with the advancement of science and technology, they have all been finally verified."

Professor Duncan Haldane said with a sigh: "I personally hope that their hypothesis is true, because once this hypothesis is verified, it will truly open the door to new physics, and we will know the origin of the universe.

"

Except for Edward Witten, everyone was not good at physics, so they all listened very attentively.

Edward Witten also nodded in approval and said: "I agree with Professor Haldane's point of view. I have been studying this paper repeatedly since yesterday. I think its greatest significance is to use mathematics to reinterpret the Standard Model of particle physics.

, and pointed out a new direction of physics, which gave me a lot of inspiration, such as the 'superneutrons' and 'supergravitons' that I have been studying. They are both likely to be related to dark matter. I plan to contact them.

Let’s see if we can work together in this direction.”

"Besides," he looked at Professor Duncan Haldane and continued: "Professor Haldane, I suggest you follow their paper to study in depth, for example, whether leptons and quarks are the same.

Can we unify the quasi-substances with some theory? You are better at this than me. Of course, the most likely solution in the short term should be the theoretical unification of the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force. This will be the next step.

Besides the unification of weak electricity, this is the most important 'unification'. The ultimate goal of unification of physics will also add a very important piece to the puzzle."

Professor Duncan Haldane shook his head and said: "The direction of 'strong unification' is indeed very tempting, but my mathematical level cannot keep up and I have no confidence in researching it. This arduous task should be left to the two young Xia Guoda."

Be a scientist."

Having said this, he was a little pleased, a little envious, and said with a sigh: "Probably in our lifetime, we can see the great day when the Holy Grail of 'Unification of Physics' is held high. And it is most likely to create this

The two of them are probably the greatest physicists in history."

Professor Edward Witten smiled and said: "It is true that CERN has restarted the Large Hadron Collider experiment. It is said that this time the Large Hadron Collider has been upgraded specifically for the accurate mass measurement of the W boson. It should be available soon.

The accuracy will be greatly improved. In the middle of next month, the conclusions in this paper will be verified. I completely believe in the mathematical level of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun. At least in terms of the precise mass of the W boson

There won’t be any problem with calculations.”

He threw a newspaper on the table to the ground and sneered: "So a fabricated report like this will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history next month."

…

The influence of CERN is terrifying, so the controversy between CERN and Qin Ke's and Ning Qingyun's papers triggered a huge war of words, and all the major forums on the Internet were quarreling.

Ning Qingyun also felt tremendous pressure.

Most of her knowledge in particle physics was taught by Qin Ke based on "thinking resonance", and the inferences in these papers were also conjectures that the two of them came up with during their daily research. This time they solved the mass gap

After asking the question, many of the questions that the two of them had thought about and discussed before were easily solved. Ning Qingyun wrote it down. He did not expect that the follow-up part he added would cause such a big controversy, and he suddenly became a little nervous and anxious.

After Qin Ke woke up, he had finished reading the part completed by Ning Qingyun. His physics level has reached the master level, and he has absorbed and digested the theoretical knowledge related to particle physics in advance. Now when it comes to the level of particle physics

, he will never be inferior to any physics professor in the world.

Regarding Ning Qingyun's anxiety, Qin Ke just smiled and gently rubbed the girl's hair: "Honey, there is absolutely no problem with the part you completed. If you insist on saying that there is any problem with the last part of this paper, it is too brief.

points, especially the hypothesis part. However, I agree with your brevity. This is a mathematics paper, not a physics paper. Otherwise, if you want to write it in detail, it will add at least 150 pages of content, and it will really be half mathematics and half physics.

, it will probably make the mathematicians who review the manuscript so painful that they will hit the wall."

Ning Qingyun had almost blind trust in Qin Ke. When he heard that he confirmed the part he had completed, his uneasy mood was quickly relieved.

She asked curiously: "How do you think we should complete it in more detail?"

"For example, using the conclusions in our paper, we can delve deeper into the mass difference and reasons of leptons and quarks, and see if we can find a theory that unifies the two; or we can use the supersymmetric gauge field theory to deduce and calculate the 'superneutralin'

and the specific properties and mass of 'supergravitons'. In addition, we can also try to achieve the theoretical unification of the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force. However, the workload is very large. If we really want to study it in depth, it will take us two years alone.

Time may not bring out the results. I would rather ask Professor Witten, he is a great expert in this field, and we can save a lot of time by working with him."

Qin Ke still feels sorry for his wife. If you really want to study these advanced particle physics theories in depth, it will be very energy-consuming. Especially Xia State is far behind in particle physics and does not have a large particle collider. The two want to

Xia Guo's theoretical research in this area can only remain theoretical and cannot be verified. If the famous Professor Witten is brought in to cooperate, then with the old professor's deep connections internationally, especially with the European CERN,

It is possible to obtain experimental verification.

While the two were talking, Uncle Yang Chengke personally called and asked about CERN.

Qin Ke smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Whether it's from CERN or not, it doesn't affect us. Our paper mainly solves the mass gap problem and reinterprets the standard model of particle physics using mathematical language. The following parts are just the icing on the cake.

That’s all. CERN really wants to conduct experiments to verify it, so that would be perfect.”

Uncle Yang felt relieved immediately. In fact, this matter had attracted great attention at the national level. At this time, after hearing Qin Ke's confident reply, Uncle Yang felt that he could explain it to his superiors.

"Don't be too tired, you two. It's almost the Spring Festival. Pay attention to rest, especially Xiaoning."

"Thank you, Uncle Yang. We plan not to return to the capital, but to go back to Yuanzhou for a vacation."

Qin Ke really wants to take a vacation. He has finally solved the Yang-Mills equation that he has been studying for a year and a half. He is not in a hurry to study further in particle physics. The only mathematical direction he is currently interested in is

Huo Qi guessed that he had S-level knowledge of the system and was very confident about the latter.

In comparison, he is more concerned about the progress of the Yuanzhou seawater desalination project, which is related to the response to the future "world catastrophe".
