So theories require only a brief introduction, while others need a few key points explained. Soon, the lecture delved into the details of Particle Boundary Theory.
Particle Boundary Theory exists parallel to several other theories. As a brand new theory that analyzes the energy of particles, it does not directly conflict with other theories and even complents String Theory.
After about ten minutes into the lecture, Zhao Yi started getting into the zone.
As the content got deeper, he began to find the rhythm of the lecture. Deciding to let go of the teaching plan, he started explaining based on his own thought process, "The boundary of a particle is actually very vague. As we all know, in Quantum Physics, the smallest particles, such as Bosons and photons, are extrely vague in size and can be ignored."
"The boundary of a particle refers to the energy composition that cos into action first during a reaction. The action of energy composition may fundantally change the nature of a particle."
"For instance, photons. When a photon’s energy composition changes, it may dissipate directly. The photon released through the reaction is not the original one but a newly erged one..."
"So particles have extrely short lifespans, so short that they’re imperceptible. Still, they’re able to travel great distances because they constantly dissipate and generate new, identical particles..."
"At the core of Particle Boundary Theory is the study of the energy composition of particle boundaries."
"The content of this course may not necessarily be true, and I don’t want to claim that either. Yet, it is indeed a thod of exploring the mysteries of the universe in theoretical physics: We start by making assumptions and doing mathematical reasoning, then slowly refine the theory, which may one day be proven true."
"I hope so of you can learn from this and even continue to improve the theory, like the revolution in String Theory led by Mr. Edward Witten..."
Zhao Yi beca genuinely relaxed and invested in the lecture. His content also opened up gradually, and everyone in the classroom was inevitably drawn in.
From the students’ perspective, the course was novel and inclusive.
For example, even Zhao Yi, as the researcher of Particle Boundary Theory, said that it might not be correct.
He spoke of the Particle Boundary Theory rely in hopes that it could help explain physical phenona, instead of asserting its accuracy.
Theories are tools.
In this course, based on the existing knowledge, students were free to unleash their imagination without being confined to a rigid scope.
And so on.
All these aspects were attractive.
Within Zhao Yi’s continuous explanation, the course of over an hour quickly passed. Feeling thirsty, he took a sip of water from his bottle and realized that it was ti for a break.
"That’s all for today’s class."
In the end, Zhao Yi said, "Those who are interested can read theoretical physics books outside of class. I recomnd students from the School of Sciences especially to read more. Mathematics and physics are inseparable, and theoretical physics is essentially mathematics."
"Alright, now line up to get the materials for the next class from Teacher Qian..."
The class ca to an end.
Zhao Yi remained on the podium, waiting for the students to get their materials and leave. Many of them ca up to ask questions, and he tried to answer as much as he could. Half an hour quickly passed.
Around nine o’clock, the classroom finally emptied.
The first class was over.
Recalling the teaching process, Zhao Yi found it quite interesting. Speaking on the podium seed like a unique platform for him.
Normally he struggled to talk so much in one go, but on the podium, communicating with the students and explaining relevant content felt pretty good.
He called out to Li Renzhe and Fan Lei, who were waiting, and they all headed to the dorm.
Li Renzhe promptly asked, "Zhao Yi, you’re not really gonna deduct my participation points, are you?" He had been worried throughout the whole class, feeling like he was going to lose points.
But...
It was Zhao Yi who asked him to talk, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been late!
Zhao Yi laughed, "Of course not! What’s our relationship, who’s with whom here!"
"I knew it!"
Li Renzhe imdiately said to Fan Lei, "I told you Zhao Yi wouldn’t do that. When it’s my ti to apply for postgraduate studies, I want to ask him to be my advisor!"
Fan Lei rolled his eyes without responding.
Zhao Yi found Li Renzhe to be a decent person, but with a sowhat foul mouth and a lot of bad habits.
He always felt annoyed with him.
But of course,
As dormmates and buddies who played gas together daily, their relationship couldn’t be bad. However, Zhao Yi still couldn’t help wanting to beat him up at tis.
Was Li Renzhe really planning to apply for postgraduate studies, and even wanted him as an advisor?
Quite ambitious of him.
By then...
"It’s still two years until you apply for postgraduate studies."
Zhao Yi hesitated briefly and said, "I’m not sure if I’ll be taking students then, but if your grades are good and your foundation is solid, it won’t hurt to take on another student."
"It’s just..."
"Just what?" asked Li Renzhe curiously.
"Don’t complain about it being hard! I’ve never been an advisor, but I’m sure I’ll be strict," Zhao Yi said with a grin.
"Of course!"
Li Renzhe proudly replied, "Eating bitterness is what I fear the least!"
Fan Lei interjected, "I agree with that. Just look at how he can... ahem, endure so much. Old Li really has an extraordinary level of endurance."
Li Renzhe shot him an angry glare.
Although Fan Lei didn’t say anything, the two unusual coughs strangely reminded Li Renzhe of Huang Wenqian.
