"Awesome!" Although he did not see the final experimental report, Edward Witten had great trust in Qin Ke's judgment. If Qin Ke said it was perfect, it must be perfect!

When his wife Chiara, who was sitting next to Edward, heard the good news, she immediately stood up and gave him a warm congratulatory hug: "Congratulations, Edward. Your dream will finally come true."

"Thank you, thank you..." At this moment, Edward Witten was so excited that he almost cried.

To be honest, although he is recognized by the world as the top physicist of our time, the field of string theory he studies is like a "castle in the air" and a "miracle in the mirror". He is ridiculed by some media and busybodies as a "fantasy intellectual game", which favors Edward.

·Witten could not find any strong evidence to prove that his theory is true and effective and can indeed reveal the secret of the origin of the world.

This is also the helplessness and bitterness of pure theoretical physicists who are ahead of their time.

However, history will change at this moment. The "M Theory" he perfected with Qin Ke and other partners finally has indirect evidence!

As soon as the experimental results of "radioactive element harmlessness" are announced, the Witten version of "M theory" will become the first in the world to have a relatively complete logical theoretical system, a complete mathematical demonstration basis, and a certain indirect experimental demonstration basis.

great theory!

String theory will set off a new round of "revolution" in the hands of him and his partners. With the further improvement of the system, it may even replace Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity" in the future and become the "God's Theory" in the next hundred years.

theory"!

At the other end of the video conference, Tao Zhexuan was also online.

"Why is Edward so excited? It seems that Qin Ke must have brought some good news." Lao Tao was wearing a red short-sleeved T-shirt with a cup of coffee at hand. He was leisurely and cheerful, and his wife Laura accompanied him.

Next to them, they looked at the screen here with a smile and gentleness. Judging from the background, they should be in the study room at home.

Qin Ke looked around the video at Edward Witten who was in trouble with him, Tao Zhexuan who was smiling, Mr. Qiu who was sitting opposite him, and Ning Qingjun who was right next to him, he cleared his throat and said loudly

:

"There is indeed good news! Comrades, partners, partners, relatives and friends! Since the end of last year, and even earlier, we have started the subject of applying string theory to control the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements.

.This is an extremely large and complex project. We started from mathematics. We first completed the 'three forces into one' of the 'strong and weak force electromagnetic force', and found some experimental data from CERN that can verify the superstring theory.

Established evidence data.”

"But these are just our starting points. We stand at a new starting point and have welcomed many like-minded new partners. Together we have greatly expanded and innovated Mr. Grothendieck's 'algebraic geometry', and finally created

'New Geometry'."

Qin Ke reviewed the struggle of the past two years with an emotional voice. In addition to several partners present, there were also Faltings, Deligne, Lindenstrauss, Wiles and other partners.

have worked hard towards this common goal.

Like-minded people forget about differences in nationality, skin color, and different "mathematical schools". They sit in this hall, drinking coffee and passionately exchanging views on advanced mathematics.

The sun witnessed the brilliant sparks produced by the collision of their minds, and the moon watched the infinite inspiration burst out from the intertwining of their wisdom!

This is a simple and passionate time! This is a time of immersing yourself in the ocean of mathematical knowledge and striving to win the most dazzling crown in the palace of mathematics!

Recalling this period of time, Qin Ke still considers it to be the most precious, unforgettable and proud years of mathematical struggle in his life!

"Subsequently, we used 'new geometry' as a weapon to conduct in-depth research and demonstrate the space-time dimension problem of string theory, and solved difficult problems such as the 'Calabi-Qiu manifold'. Based on this, we established a mathematical model through mathematical language.

Logically self-consistent and perfect M-theory! We have achieved perfect results at the theoretical level of this topic!"

"In the past month or so, we have developed an experimental plan based on the new M theory and tried to control the random events of the decay of radioactive elements. We have conducted hundreds of experiments, and the results of the experiments are excellent, completely consistent with our experimental results.

The predictions made by the plan also prove that our theory is correct! It is effective!"

"Now I officially announce that the project of 'Controlling random events in the decay of radioactive elements through string theory' has achieved a perfect victory! This project will enter the writing stage of the final report and final paper starting today!"

Applause, warm applause burst out!

Although there were only a few people, everyone clapped vigorously to vent their overflowing sense of accomplishment and joy!

Whether it is the "new geometry" that laid the core of the future unified theory of mathematics, or the improvement of M theory and its use to control the random events of the decay of radioactive elements, these are great achievements that are enough to shock the past and surpass all predecessors in mathematics.

, everyone present is a participant and witness, how can they not be excited or proud?

Even Witten's wife Chiara and Tao's wife Laura also smiled and clapped, sending proud congratulations to their husbands and their "comrades".

Qin Xiaoke, who was listening with his two babies Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng, also yelled and applauded. During the process, he did not forget to check whether the video recording function of the mobile phone on the stand was functioning normally.

——She had no time to draw such a great scene, so she videotaped it first and then slowly added it later.

The two little babies, Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng, were still confused. They didn’t know that they had witnessed the birth of a great moment. However, they happily imitated adults and clapped their chubby little hands. This cute scene was so funny.

Everyone laughed.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the laughter and excitement subsided, Edward Witten spoke:

"Friends, I have a proposal. M theory is a theory proposed as the 'ultimate theory of physics'. I once hoped to explain the nature and interaction of all matter and energy, but unfortunately, I was unable to do so in the past few decades.

To achieve this goal, with the joint efforts of all partners, we have solved the most difficult space-time dimension problem of M theory. M theory has also been incorporated into the mathematical system due to 'new geometry', and has realized the most important problem in mathematics.

Integrate with the biggest questions in physics!”

The old man was a little crazy, and the theoretical goal he pursued throughout his life was very close, which made him very energetic: "Originally, the 'M' in M ​​theory can represent magic, mystery, and master.

It can also represent membrane, but there is no clear definition. This is not because I am trying to be mysterious, but I didn’t think about it at the time.”

In fact, the academic community has been speculating about what the "M" in this "M theory" stands for. Even the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner Melvin Schwartz once expressed his opinion that Edward's

This "M" should be a matrix.

It's just that Edward Witten, who first proposed "M theory", never gave a clear answer, so this theory was sublimated from string theory and superstring theory. Currently, it is led by dozens of top theoretical physicists around the world.

The team devoted themselves to research and created dozens of different schools of "M theory". However, there is still no clear definition of the name. Except for Edward Witten, no one knows why it is called that.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Edward Witten finally admitting that he actually didn't understand it either.

Old Tao laughed and said, "Edward, when you say that, you mean you have figured it out now?"

Edward Witten humorously said: "No, I don't think about it now, but I think that at least our currently perfected 'M theory' should be renamed to avoid being called 'mysterious'. I propose that our project

The group's 'M theory' was renamed 'QWTNQ theory system', that is, named after Qin's 'Q', Witten's 'W', Tao's 'T', Ning's 'N', and Qiu's 'Q'

!I wonder what everyone’s opinions are?”

Mr. Qiu was the first to express his opinion: "It is an international practice to name a theory after the surname of the creator. I agree, but I am just a foreign aid to the team and do not play a big role in improving the theoretical system, so there is no need to add

My last name is changed, otherwise if two Qs are added together, others will think it is an emoticon." At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but smile.

Everyone also laughed, but Qin Ke immediately raised objections: "Mr. Qiu, don't always say that you are a foreign aid. You are an important member of our team. I think if we want to name our new M theory by name, you

This 'Qiu' must be added."

Mr. Qiu is an upright and honest man, and he does not seek this false reputation. In fact, although he only admits that he is a foreign aid, he is usually busy with the teaching and management work of Qiuzhen Academy. But as long as he can spare time in the evening, he will come to this hall and join in the project.

During the discussion, he used his superb skills in differential geometry, differential equations, general relativity and other fields to silently help the team.

Especially when it comes to solving the problem of "Calabi-Qiu manifold", he not only took out several correspondence exchanges with Calabi and explained them one by one, but also spared no effort to share his life-long experience, including to Hermit

The existence of the Yang-Mills connection, solving the positive mass conjecture through the minimal surface theory, Schön-Yau's black hole existence theorem and the intrinsic definition of quasi-local mass in general relativity, etc.

The problem of "Calabi-Qiu manifold" can be solved in just two or three weeks. Although it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the team headed by Qin Ke, the role played by Mr. Qiu cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Qin Ke's "objection" received an enthusiastic response from everyone. After a vote, Mr. Qiu's proposal was rejected, and his surname will be added to the naming.

Qin Ke immediately proposed to put Edward Witten’s W in front. After all, the team’s theories are optimized and improved around the M theory results that Edward Witten has studied for a lifetime. Without the core, all optimization and improvement will be impossible.

It is rootless duckweed and meaningless.

Qin Ke is telling the truth. He is not short of fame now, and he is not willing to overshadow the title. Edward Witten has devoted his whole life to "M Theory", how could he be ranked second in the final naming?

However, Edward Witten insisted that the "new geometric concept" originally proposed by Qin Ke took the greatest credit, and that during the entire team's research process, Qin Ke played a huge role in coordinating the overall situation as the team leader. In the specific research process, it was also

Because Qin Ke constantly introduces new ideas with his unfettered, free transformation and unconstrained creativity, M theory can become the relatively complete and logically self-consistent new system it is today. Qin Ke's "Q" must be put first.

In the end, the vote came down to a show of hands. Ning Qingyun raised her hand to vote for Edward under Qin Ke's gaze. Old Tao also shrugged helplessly at Edward under Qin Ke's "threatening" gaze, and then raised his hand.

Mr. Qiu understood Qin Ke's character best. He said with a smile: "Edward, Qin Ke has such a character. He will never steal your first place. If you insist on letting his name be ranked first,

, maybe he will take a step back and reject this naming method. Just accept your fate." He also raised his hand.

Four against one, the result came out.

Edward Witten looked at the other end of the video with slightly wet eyes, the young boy on the other side of the ocean, with blood boiling in his heart. He was very aware of the huge reputation behind this ranking. Qin Ke was going to take the initiative to give in to achieve his lifelong success.

The most glorious moment is also the brightest ending to his lifelong research on M theory!

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You...are deliberately preventing me from retiring." Edward Witten pointed at Qin Ke, shook his head and smiled, very seriously.

Deep feeling.

Probably it is Qin Ke's indifference to fame and wealth, his calmness and gentleness, and his broad-minded innocence that makes arrogant old guys like Faltings, Deligne, Wiles and other old guys willing to join his team, right? I don't think so.

Same thing? At least for Qin Ke's decision today, if he has any other research projects that he would like to participate in in the future, would he still have the nerve to reject it?

Qin Ke chuckled: "Okay, now let us celebrate the birth of our 'WQTNQ theoretical system' with warm applause again!"

Warm applause once again filled the entire hall, and then the meeting discussed the final paper. Considering Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun will devote most of his energy to the study of global extreme weather variability. The paper was written by

Tao Zhexuan took charge, and after Edward Witten and Mr. Qiu completed the second revision, Qin Ke and his wife made the final draft.

The title of the paper is determined to be "Precise control of random events in the decay of radioactive elements based on the new "WQTNQ theoretical system"."

The signatures have also been confirmed, and the first author is Qin Ke, Edward Witten, Tao Zhexuan, and Ning Qingyun.

Mr. Qiu refused to be included in the first work no matter what, so he appeared at the top of the second work: Qiu Chengtong, Ji Xingming (experiment), and Du Jianzhang (experiment).

In the acknowledgments at the end of the article, Faltings, Deligne, Mr. Qiu, Wiles, Lindenstrauss, Academician Tian Jianlan, and all the staff of the two experimental teams for their assistance in this paper will be acknowledged.

grateful.

At this point, the project of "Application of String Theory to Control Radioactive Elements' Decay Random Events" has officially ended, but the team has not been disbanded and has been renamed the "New Unified Basic Theoretical Framework of Mathematics" project group. In the following years

Here, continue to work hard for the goal of unifying mathematics.

However, because Qin Ke and his wife will focus on the world's difficult research on global extreme weather changes, the "New Unified Basic Theoretical Framework of Mathematics" research group activities will be changed to a weekly exchange meeting, usually with

Focus on their own research.

Mrs. Tao Laura suddenly said: "Speaking of extreme weather changes around the world, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) recently took a set of very weird climate photos, which were published on the homepage of the website in the morning. I didn't know you guys

Have you noticed?"
