Chapter 405 Professor Friedman
The same is true for looking for Professor Artin's office.
Chen Zhou felt that there was no need to renovate the manual just now.
Along the way, MIT enthusiastic students either wanted to give directions or took Chen Zhou to Professor Friedman's office.
Of course, after Chen Zhou got the accurate guide, he politely refused.
But what he didn't expect was that Professor Friedman seemed to be even more famous than other professors.
When Chen Zhou walked into the chassis of the MIT Physics Department.
He heard a lot of people talking about Professor Friedman.
But the content of the conversation was about him.
"I heard that Professor Friedman has accepted another graduate student?"
"It seems that yes, it is said that the man was also a student in the mathematics department at the same time."
"Don't look like, it's just a math student. Do you still remember the math academic conference last year?"
"You mean the Chinese student who directly proved Kramel's conjecture in the auditorium?"
"It's him, Professor Friedman's new student, that's my Chinese student."
"Damn, I'll just say, why did Professor Friedman suddenly bring up graduate students again? It turned out to be this great god..."
"He seemed to have proved the Jeboff conjecture later, and that would be nothing. Anyway, mathematics serves physics, and if students from other departments were afraid they would not dare to come to Professor Friedman's subordinates."
"Yes, it's barely acceptable. Under the throne of physics, only mathematics can make us agree a little..."
Listening to such words, Chen Zhou couldn't help but have questions.
What does this mean?
According to their statement, is it because they are studying mathematics that they are qualified to study physics?
Is this the discipline contempt chain?
Is physics at the top of the discipline’s contempt chain?
But shouldn't the one standing at the top be mathematics?
Chen Zhou knew that in college, especially in such awesome universities, there was a chain of contempt for disciplines, which was the case.
However, I didn't expect to be caught by myself.
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhou shook the questions in his mind out of his head.
He is only worried about his mentor, Professor Friedman, who is not the one who has a disdain for the subject.
When he arrived at the door of Professor Friedman's office, Chen Zhou looked at his watch and said that the time was just right, and it did not exceed the agreed time.
Then, he gently knocked on the office door.
With the yelling "Please come in", Chen Zhou pushed open the door and walked in.
The purpose is to pile up thick papers not neatly.
Behind those papers are two pretty young faces.
They were looking up at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou greeted politely: "Hello, two senior brothers, is Professor Friedman here?"
Only when the two of them realized the identity of the visitor when they heard Chen Zhou's voice.
One of the slightly tall men smiled and stood up and said to Chen Zhou, "Professor Friedman is inside."
Chen Zhou subconsciously looked inside, but he didn't see anyone.
All my eyes were blocked by the piles of paper.
Noticed Chen Zhou's actions, the man explained a little awkwardly: "The professor likes to keep all the information, so it's like this."
Chen Zhou nodded to express his understanding.
Although he did not expect such a scene, he was not surprised.
Because when he was studying mathematical conjectures himself, draft paper was piled up all over the ground.
The man said again: "I will introduce myself first. My name is Ennis Mathieson, and I am a doctoral student led by Professor Friedman."
As he said that, Mathisson pointed to another person and said, "His name is Greb Coyle, and he is also a doctoral student led by Professor Friedman. However, he is one class lower than me."
Coyle also stood up and smiled and said to Chen Zhou: "Welcome, our junior brother, Professor Friedman is waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou also said, "Thank you, I'm very happy to know you, Senior Brother Mathieson and Senior Brother Coyle."
Massison patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder: "Don't be polite."
After saying that, he gave way to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou glanced at him and walked in.
In the deepest part of the office, there is a desk.
On the desk, there are only paper and pen.
There is no modern office supplies.
Behind the desk was an old man with all white hair.
The old man was concentrating on holding a pen and doing calculations on the draft paper.
The old man only had the paper and pen in front of him, so that Chen Zhou didn't even notice it when he walked beside him.
Chen Zhou looked at the old man's serious appearance and a hint of respect rose in his heart.
No matter what, whether it is mathematics or physics, it is a bowl of young rice.
When I was young, I was quick-thinking and energetic.
But as you grow older, your thinking gradually slows down and your energy will not keep up.
It is really admirable for a person like Professor Friedman, who is almost 90 years old, to do research so attentively.
Chen Zhou probably understood why the voices he had just spoken to Mathieson and Coyle didn't make Professor Friedman disturb him.
Chen Zhou glanced at what Professor Friedman wrote, then quietly stepped aside and waited silently.
He was not going to interrupt Friedman's thoughts with a voice.
Perhaps, this is a rare time to immerse.
Chen Zhou himself also hates others interrupting his thoughts, so he understands that this kind of immersion is rare.
The reason why Chen Zhou chose Professor Friedman is different from the reason why he chose Professor Arting.
Professor Friedman is a big shot in the field of nuclear physics.
He studied under the father of atomic energy, Enlik Fermi.
Fermi is a well-known great physicist.
Fermions, No. 100 Chemical Elements, Fermi Laboratory in the United States, and Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago, are all named in memory of him.
This is a physicist who has made first-class achievements in theory and experiment.
Even among modern physicists gathered with stars, there are only a handful of them.
As a student of such a big shot, Professor Friedman is naturally very awesome.
In 1990, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics of that year for his research on "deep inelastic scattering of nuclear nucleons".
This research started from Stanford University's linear accelerator center, namely Slac.
Then in 1967, a large electronic linear accelerator was built and achieved design energy.
Friedman started a series of electron-proton scattering experiments.
Among them, it includes electron-proton elastic scattering experiments, positron-proton elastic scattering experiments, and electron-proton inelastic scattering experiments.
Of course, the results of these experiments only confirm the existing conclusions.
But when the energy of incident electrons further increases, it enters a deep inelastic scattering area that has never been explored.
At first, after obtaining the experimental results, Friedman and his collaborators thought that the experimental results were incorrect, or that there were errors in the explanation, or that there were system errors or the like.
But with a large number of experimental results, and comparison and correction between experiments.
They found that electrons penetrated into the proton with great energy.
What we encounter is not a "soft" proton target, but a dot-shaped "hard" nucleus similar to electrons.
At that time, experimental physicists could not understand or explain this.
Then a lot of work was done, and even abstract mathematical methods such as stream algebra were used.
Finally, important evidence of some sub-models was found from the depth inelastic scattering experiment and scale irrelevance.
It was soon understood that part of the body and quark were the same thing.
And Friedman has never stopped research in this field.
Moreover, before the US Super Collider dismounted, he was responsible for designing the supporting detector.
In addition, Friedman also made two very simple assumptions about the universe.
Although Friedman only found one model, there are actually three models that meet his two basic assumptions.
The first model is found by Friedman himself.
