Weng Hong questioned with puzzlent, "Why did you stop reading?"
Yang Zhenning shook his head with a bitter smile, lanting, "I’m getting old, I get tired after reading for a bit, I can’t keep up," he sighed, pointing at his head. He usually didn’t admit his age, but the content of the paper had exhausted him after just a short while, and he couldn’t help but express his feelings.
Weng Hong frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Yang Zhenning didn’t respond.
Although he was resting on a wicker chair, he couldn’t help but think about parts of the paper that he was stuck on. Constant rumination was also quite draining.
Weng Hong was becoming sowhat concerned, "If you’re not reading anymore, stop thinking about it. I can tell that you’re still mulling over the material from the paper."
"Alright."
Yang Zhenning nodded, his eyes half-closed.
anwhile.
Ruan Wenye, Zhang Hongzhi, and Huang Zhong all saw the peer-review invitation emails in their inboxes. Interested, they downloaded the papers and began to study them in earnest.
Ruan Wenye, who worked on collider data analysis, was quite familiar with quantum physics. But aspects such as particle physics, and a complex mathematical frawork based on analytic number theory, made the reading a bit of a headache.
He only read one page before giving up and directly sent a reply to the "Mathematical Physics Journal". His email read, "This paper on supersymtry is highly complex and esoteric, but given that it’s Zhao Yi’s research, I suggest publishing it directly without peer review."
The editors at the "Mathematical Physics Journal" could only chuckle bitterly at this reply.
Yet, Ruan Wenye did have a point.
Zhao Yi was one of the world’s top mathematicians. Theoretical physics was a branch of mathematics. His research paper on supersymtry using his self-created boundary theory seed worth publishing directly. After all, who could surpass him in mathematical ability?
Zhang Hongzhi, the head of the Physics Departnt at the Science Academy, liked to maintain his dignity. However, his research field was the least relevant. He didn’t even finish one page before deciding to assemble a group to study it together.
"Isn’t this too complex?"
"I’ve never seriously studied particle energy construction. I need to study that before I can continue reading..."
"Never mind."
Unpublished papers under review have confidentiality issues, and definitely cannot be studied by a group.
Zhang Hongzhi simply wrote a review email, "The mathematical description of supersymtry in the paper is very classic, and the argunt is enlightening."
"Boundary Theory is a brand-new theoretical physics. It opens up a new field of study, capable of proving supersymtry, and perhaps other things."
"I’m looking forward to it..."
Zhang Hongzhi demonstrated his excellent writing skills and wrote several paragraphs of comnts. He then scheduled a reply email for three days later.
"Three days, that should be about right?" He thought, feeling he hadn’t left anything out.
Huang Zhong took it the most seriously.
He was already working on particle physics research and there was no need to ntion his high level of mathematics. Having done research on number theory before, he treated the paper like a treasure, reading until three in the morning. Only when he couldn’t stay awake any longer did he go to bed.
The next day, Huang Zhong lectured his students while visibly exhausted. He seed listless during the class, but once it was over and he returned to his office, he imdiately reopened the paper, brimming with energy as he continued his study.
...
Three days had passed.
The editors of the "Mathematical Physics Journal" received replies from Ruan Wenye and Zhang Hongzhi. Ruan Wenye clearly hadn’t studied the paper before replying. Zhang Hongzhi’s review ca surprisingly quickly.
It was startling that he managed to finish a dense theoretical physics paper, complete with dozens of pages of mathematical structures and proofs, covering a wide range of knowledge, in just three days. Even a serious study of a week’s ti would be quite short.
Ti sped on, and another week passed.
The editorial departnt received an email from Qiu Chengwen. In his reply, he complained, "This review really gave a headache. Over the past ten days, I spent six to seven hours every day on it, and I only got a general understanding of the frawork, completely giving up on so parts of the proofs."
"The parts I did read are definitely correct."
"This is a mathematical theory analyzing supersymtry problems based on the structure of particle boundaries energy. Explaining their symtry through the pri distribution of fermions and bosons energy."
"The paper also explains the formation of particles, which can be compared against collider data. I’ve validated using so public experintal data, the results match the data descriptions in the paper."
"Up to now, supersymtry remains an enigma in the field of physics. The paper uses mathematical descriptions of energy structure to illustrate the principle of symtry, and logically explains the symtry at the onset of particle formation. The theoretical content has already ford a closed loop, and publishing it will certainly cause a sensation."
Qiu Chengwen predicted the impact of publishing, using the word ’sensation’, which showed the importance he placed on the paper’s content.
The editors at the "Mathematical Physics Journal" were not surprised. They had long-term experience with professional academic review and could judge the influence of Zhao Yi’s paper. Even without Qiu Chengwen’s reply, they had already decided to print the paper in the next issue of the journal, in both Chinese and English versions.
What surprised the editors was Qiu Chengwen’s statent of ’spending six to seven hours a day, researching for ten consecutive days’.
