Edward fell silent for a long ti after hearing this, and finally said, " ... You’re right. Thank you. Just by listening to you, my mood has improved a lot. I just wanted to do sothing that only God could do, and it’s fine that I didn’t succeed."
"But I still want to do it."
He continued, "Even if only God can do it, we can continue to try to understand, and even if we don’t succeed, any progress is good."
Zhao Yi shook his head with a smile, "You are really a stubborn person."
"Every physicist is stubborn," Edward said indifferently, "This is the excellent quality of pursuing truth."
"Of course."
Edward’s mood improved sowhat, and he continued to discuss his ideas. His goal was to develop M Theory, or String Theory, towards reality, but he could not avoid the issues of multidinsional space and supersymtry.
These were two fundantal obstacles.
Compared to multidinsional space, supersymtry is more grounded in reality. Constructing a reasonable chanism with string mathematics for the symtry of fermions and bosons, and creating a new mathematical interpretation is a sensible idea.
Multidinsional space sounds unreasonable and deviates from reality too severely. However, Edward prefers to connect particles with multidinsional space, because supersymtry is the geotric topology of M Theory and can be considered the foundation of M Theory, while multidinsional space is the core content of M Theory.
As Zhao Yi discussed with Edward, they both felt that Edward was sowhat obsessed.
He had extre faith in String Theory and the M Theory he had developed.
String Theory could be said to be Edward’s belief, his God in his heart.
Zhao Yi held a neutral attitude towards this.
If only considering the mathematical aspect, String Theory indeed has many highlights. Its mathematical construction is beautifully intricate, making people believe that it truly exists.
Beauty is sothing that humans pursue.
Science is often full of beauty, not only in mathematics but also in other disciplines, such as biology and chemistry. Many complex molecular structures are so exquisite that it is hard to believe that nature could make elents combine so perfectly.
However, beauty does not necessarily equate to existence.
When Zhao Yi first t Edward, he considered persuading him to focus his research on other areas. Edward was undoubtedly an outstanding mathematician; his work had singlehandedly supported much of String Theory. He was the backbone of the field.
M Theory and multidinsional space are problems that erged because of the mathematical system Edward developed for String Theory. Although he did not create String Theory, he largely contributed to its developnt.
It seed impossible to spend the rest of one’s life further refining String Theory and proving its existence. The idea was like a mirage, an impossibility.
Seeing Edward’s enthusiasm now, Zhao Yi changed his mind. He felt that he should not act that way. String Theory was Edward’s spiritual pillar. no matter what he said, Edward would not give it up.
If String Theory were proven wrong one day, Edward might go insane?
"That would be horrible!"
Zhao Yi shook his head as he thought about it.
Of course.
Whether String Theory is correct or not is debatable. What if it is right? There’s still that beautifully intricate mathematics.
Zhao Yi’s thoughts did not affect his conversation with Edward.
Edward’s idea was to connect particles in quantum physics with multidinsional space, regardless of the type of particle, as long as the direction was correct.
After hearing Edward’s thoughts, Zhao Yi could not help but admire the other’s genius. The idea of multidinsional space might sound implausible, but when considered from a purely mathematical perspective, it had rational credibility.
Zhao Yi logically thought about it and began to doubt in his heart, "Does multidinsional space really exist?"
"Otherwise, how could it be like this?"
"Although it still can’t be connected to reality, the mathematical calculations are perfectly fine..."
He even used the Supervision Law to judge the content of Edward’s words and found that it was logically sound.
Zhao Yi simply cast aside his subconscious disbelief and focused on thinking from a mathematical and physical perspective. Suddenly, he raised a question, "Why do we directly connect particles with strings and not other things?"
"This year’s experint by the European Organization for Nuclear Research has proven the existence of the Higgs particle. In other words, the Higgs field and Higgs chanism have a high likelihood of being true."
"Speaking of the Higgs chanism alone, it’s a ’creation’ in the form of spatial oscillations. It can be understood as the creation of space, or perhaps..."
Zhao Yi organized his thoughts and slowly said, "The result of dinsional space collisions producing ripples...?" His expression turned to one of surprise as he spoke.
Edward on the other side was completely stunned.
Both of them looked at each other through the screen for more than ten seconds.
Edward suddenly stood up, the noise of a broken water glass could be heard on the other side of the screen, but he didn’t care. Instead, he slamd the table twice, "Bang, Bang", and then exclaid excitedly, "Zhao Yi, you are a genius! This idea is brilliant!"
"Ha ha~~"
Zhao Yi also felt a bit excited, he laughed and said, "It just ca to suddenly."
