The day before the start of the CERN follow-up experimental plan, Chen Zhou and Friedman concluded all academic exchanges.

After visiting the collider laboratory, they conducted two academic seminars, which lasted nearly 10 days.

The themes of the two seminars, one large and one small.

The big theme is naturally about the pursuit of new physics.

This is also an eternal issue that CERN, and even all collider laboratories, exist and explore.

Of course, today, with SLAC shutting down its collider laboratory, CERN continues to dominate.

This large-theme seminar naturally revolves around the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider.

The Large Hadron Collider accelerates two beams of protons to an extremely high energy state of 14TeV and collides them.

Its energy state is comparable to the state of the universe shortly after the Big Bang.

Particle physicists at CERN began to use the products of proton collisions to explore physical phenomena.

We hope to use this to find the Higgs particle predicted by the Standard Model, and explore new physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry and extra dimensions.

At the seminar, the elites of SLAC had a powerful dialogue with the elites of CERN.

To be honest, Chen Zhou was quite impressed by this major theme seminar.

Because the progress of the seminar exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought this would be a conference for CERN to showcase itself and take the opportunity to attract talents.

Unexpectedly, Friedman's speech directly raised the tone of the seminar to a deeper field of discussion.

Moreover, the group of researchers who followed Friedman did not fall behind and expressed their thoughts to their heart's content.

Although some of this seems to be the other way around.

This deeper area of ​​exploration is the mystery that the LHC hopes to uncover.

Do particles have corresponding supersymmetric particles?

Why are matter and antimatter asymmetric?

Are there higher dimensional spaces?

96% of the mass of the universe cannot be observed in astronomy. What are these?

Wait wait wait.

This is also the reason why the two small seminars originally scheduled will last for nearly 10 days and will not end until the follow-up experimental plan of CERN is about to begin.

Because the topics discussed in the big theme seminar are really too big and too complicated.

As for the smaller topics, according to the original seminar plan, SLAC's rubber ball experiment was discussed in depth.

This is also what CERN has been looking forward to.

After all, some things are far more memorable when discussed with me than from a paper.

And, that's fair.

The two seminars each presented their latest research progress.

Naturally, this small themed seminar was Chen Zhou’s showcase.

Rao was Friedman who single-handedly pushed the large-theme seminar to a deeper level, and spent much more time studying rubber balls than Chen Zhou did.

In seminars on small topics, Chen Zhou's influence and voice are not comparable.

Moreover, what Chen Zhou did not expect was that.

Many CERN director-level particle physics experts and collider laboratory bosses also attended the seminar.

A large number of researchers from various countries also joined in the fun.

In terms of the number of participants, the number of participants in small-theme seminars is far greater than that in large-theme seminars.

As for the reason, these people are definitely not here just for the rubber balls.

At the same time, I also came here for Chen Zhou as a person and Chen Zhou’s research experience.

After all, it is rare to find a 21-year-old super genius in both physics and mathematics!

No matter from which aspect, such people have something worth learning from.

What's more, it has already spread in the physics community.

There is a 90% chance that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded to Chen Zhou.

It's just that it's unlikely that he can enjoy it all by himself.

Therefore, this small topic seminar completely turned into Chen Zhou's lecture.

Friedman and his team, who had shown their talents and demonstrated themselves in major theme seminars, became complete guests here.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

The theme of rubber balls is here.

Except for Friedman, there was no one present whose research results in this field were comparable to those of Chen Zhou.

In the end, Chen Zhou once again received a wave of applause and a wave of admiration before ending the seminar.

During the academic exchange at CERN, as Chen Zhou expected, CERN threw an olive branch to him.

Since Mitchell Johnstone, as the representative of the academic advisor, received Chen Zhou and the others.

When Chen Zhou was invited, he was naturally the first to explore.

However, except for polite exchanges, Mitchel Johnstone didn't ask anything.

Finally, Dr. Bertolucci, the research director of CERN, personally came forward to communicate with Chen Zhou.

Unfortunately, the final result of the communication was not satisfactory to Dr. Bertolucci.

It also made Mitchel Johnstone, who had been very excited and a little too hard during this period, suddenly wilt.

Because Chen Zhou refused CERN's invitation without even thinking about it.

Of course, Chen Zhou didn't say anything to death.

He can participate in CERN's research experiment plans, but not as a CERN researcher.

After that, Mitchell Johnstone and Bertolucci never looked for Chen Zhou again.

It was not until these two seminars were over that Chen Zhou and Friedman concluded all academic exchanges.

Together, Mitchell Johnstone and Bertolucci found Chen Zhou again.

At this time, the former SLAC researchers had basically decided whether to stay or go.

The talents that CERN has absorbed are quite impressive.

Only Chen Zhou, the person CERN focused on, did not achieve the desired results.

Therefore, Mitchell Johnstone and Bertolucci wanted to try again before Chen Zhou left.

In Chen Zhou's room.

"Coffee or tea?"

Chen Zhou looked at Mitchell Johnstone and Bertolucci with interest.

Mitchel Johnstone: "Coffee."

Bertolucci: "Tea."

After hearing each other's answer, the two of them turned to look at each other in unison.

Immediately, they both changed their tune at the same time.

"Tea!"

"coffee!"

Chen Zhou said in a funny tone: "What on earth do you want to drink?"

Mitchel Johnstone was silent this time.

After Bertolucci said "tea", he then said: "Tea..."

While Chen Zhou was making tea for them, the two exchanged glances.

After Chen Zhou also brought a cup of tea, he sat in front of the two of them.

Mitchell Johnstone was the first to say: "Dr. Chen Zhou, do you have any special feelings when visiting our collider laboratory this time?"

Hearing what Mitchell Johnstone had asked before, Chen Zhou couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not bad, it meets my basic expectations for the collider."

After saying that, it seemed that it was not quite accurate, so Chen Zhou explained: "It should be said that it meets my basic expectations for CERN, which looks like an international center for high energy physics."

Chen Zhou's words were quite straightforward.

But at the same time, this also represents Chen Zhou’s recognition of CERN.

Therefore, upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Mitchell Johnstone and Bertolucci immediately felt that something was going on.
