There are places to eat in many places at MIT.

There are various fast food restaurants on the first and second floors of the student center.

In Kendall Square, there is also a food court offering Chinese and Western fast food.

At the junction of Main Street and Vassar Street, there is also a building with "whitehead" written on it.

At noon every day, Western-style lunch is provided on the first floor of the building.

In addition, there are some cafes in the main building, the National Center and other places, which also provide breakfast and lunch.

These are places frequented by MIT students.

And most of them can register for "techcash" and pay with your MIT ID.

The most important thing is that you can save 5% in taxes.

Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi naturally went to the student center and chose Chinese fast food.

Although the taste is not quite right, it is still acceptable.

Before getting used to the food here, even though Yang Yiyi was a foodie, she didn't choose any novel food.

First of all, you have to take responsibility for your belly.

Only in this way can you taste the food better.

These are Yang Yiyi’s words.

Regarding this, Chen Zhou could only sigh, it turned out that this was a fake foodie...

While eating, Chen Zhou also learned about Yang Yiyi's situation.

When Rainer Weiss made preliminary arrangements for Yang Yiyi, he first read this information and waited for him to return from Xiangjiang.

I will take Yang Yiyi to Ligo to participate in specific experimental projects.

This Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of China.

About half a month later, on September 27, the 2016 Shaw Award Ceremony will be held in Hong Kong.

And Professor Rainer Weiss was there to receive the award.

With the first detection of gravitational waves, Rainer Weiss will inevitably experience a climax of winning awards.

Among them, the most anticipated one is the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Although most people believe that Rainer Weiss will win the award.

But who knows whether the Nobel Prize Award Committee will suddenly have a seizure?

Even if this probability is small, it is not impossible.

After all, there are too many people waiting in line.

Earlier, in 2006, Dr. John Mather and Professor George Smoot shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for measuring the microwave spectrum and detecting this fluctuation respectively.

Some physicists believe that Rainer Weiss should share this honor.

Because Rainer Weiss is the person in charge of NASA in measuring the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Whether it is this measurement or the detection of traces of extremely small quantum fluctuations that appeared in the newborn universe and are crucial to the standard model of cosmology.

All have a contribution from Rainer Weiss.

Perhaps as Mather, who works at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, commented, Rainer Weiss is good at deciding who should do what and making sure that person gets the credit he deserves.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Zhou supports Yang Yiyi in choosing Rainer Weiss as his mentor.

This hard-working old professor indeed has a strong personal charm.

After eating, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi went straight back to the dormitory.

Yang Yiyi naturally went back to her dormitory to tidy up, and then took the materials to Chen Zhou's dormitory.

For two people who are used to supervising each other and learning from each other.

This way of learning is more suitable for them.

Although time is tight, Chen Zhou is in such an empty room.

Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi first checked the furniture transfer list at Edgerton.

The two plan to buy some simple furniture.

Chen Zhou didn’t have many requirements when choosing furniture, focusing on practicality.

As for being old or not, it doesn't matter.

Yang Yiyi, on the other hand, brought out the girl's nature, at least she had to be good-looking.

It didn't take much time for the two of them to choose the furniture.

After agreeing on the payment method and transportation method.

The two of them came to the window and each looked at the information they had brought back from their instructor.

Chen Zhou mainly relied on the information given by Friedman, while he slightly delayed the information given by Artin.

Of course, the information given by Professor Friedman here is about experiments.

In the field of high-energy physics, the big theoretical issues cannot be avoided.

Supersymmetry theory, standard model, grand unified theory, string theory, etc.

But physics is a science based on experiments, and experimental physics and theoretical physics coexist.

Just like Edward Witten, who won the Fields Medal for his outstanding mathematical abilities and was also an outstanding physicist.

His main research result in the field of physics is m-theory.

M-theory is a supergravity theory that combines five superstring theories and eleven-dimensional space.

Although this is extremely creative, it makes quantum mechanics and general relativity compatible in a new theoretical framework.

However, no matter how fruitful M theory is.

Before experimental verification is obtained and the true face of m-theory is truly revealed.

Edward Witten's m-theory is still just a theory.

Maybe one day, after experimental verification.

This physicist who won the Fields Medal will also become a mathematician who won the Physics Medal.

But I don’t know how long this time is.

Compared with big theoretical issues, in the field of high-energy physics, the main research hot spots and problems in experiments are more reliable.

It's like the "glue ball" Friedman is looking for in his next experiment.

As well as the ongoing experimental project of SNO Lab in Ontario, Canada, the measurement of neutrinos.

There is also proton decay that has a great impact on unified field theory.

Although there is no answer yet and there is still a long way to go, these are problems that are expected to be solved.

Take Professor Friedman’s experiment this time.

So far, Chinese scientists have collected 1.3 billion j/ψ cases using the Yanjing Electron Positron Collider and the Yanjing Spectrometer.

This is also the largest sample of j/ψ cases in the world.

The j/ψ meson is a subatomic particle that belongs to the meson category and consists of a charm quark and an anticharm quark.

It is the first excited state among subatomic particles composed of charm quarks and anticharm quarks.

The electron-positron collider in Yanjing has been operating for more than 8 years after being renovated and upgraded.

By April 5 of this year (2016), it finally reached its final design brightness.

According to the original plan, China will continue to obtain more data through collisions in the next few years.

Eventually we will get 10 billion j/ψ cases!

These 10 billion data contain huge scientific wealth.

Among them, it is very likely that the secret of the "glue ball" is hidden.

The entire afternoon was spent in this quiet time with endless words.

Chen Zhou also experienced the joy of physics level 6 again.

Whether it is efficiency or thinking, he is very satisfied.

After checking the time, Chen Zhou said to Yang Yiyi: "Let's go, Yiyi, let's go see the freshman dance."

Yang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhou in surprise: "Do you still have time to go to the freshman dance? I thought you were going to start having sex day and night..."

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Time is like a sponge, there will always be some squeeze."

"Okay then..." Yang Yiyi said, stretching.

This posture of sitting on the floor reading is more tiring than before.

Chen Zhou's eyes stayed on Yang Yiyi.

I have to say, this girl's figure is so good, it's perfect.

Apart from anything else, Yang Yiyi doesn't need it at all, just because others need to squeeze.
Chapter completed!
