Strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, gravity.
The strong and weak forces are inevitably related in particle physics. Even ignoring the issue of electromagnetism, gravity also needs to be deeply considered. Once the discussion involves these fundantal forces, the problem becos more complicated.
Zhao Yi felt dizzy after pondering for a while. He knew that the establishnt of the particle boundary theory system was just the beginning. There was still a long way to go. When he found no inspiration, he simply agreed with Edward Witten on a ti to discuss the research progress together.
At nine o’clock that night, the two connected through a video call.
"Hi, Zhao Yi!"
Edward Witten looked sowhat haggard, but still showed a passionate smile and imdiately asked about the progress: "How have you been lately, any progress in your research?"
Zhao Yi pursed his lips and said, "I have co up with a small part, but I’m still at a loss about the issue of mass assignnt."
"That’s normal."
Edward Witten revealed a smile, "Research is like this sotis; perhaps a sudden flash of inspiration may cause a significant breakthrough. Otherwise, there would be no point staying in the office for months."
He continued, "My research has been going well; lately, I have constructed the line value analysis chart of M Theory and demonstrated the boundaries of dinsions in a topological form, suggesting the possibility of special points in dinsions."
"Yes, points in dinsions."
"This term is my new invention. It is a special point in multidinsional space, which can be understood as a support point in multidinsional space or can be imagined as the intersecting line with other dinsions."
"Think, every point in a two-dinsional plane locates in a three-dinsional space. It might feel like a lot, but compared to the three-dinsional space, it’s negligible because they occupy only one coordinate value in a three-dinsional space."
"Dinsional points in multidinsional space..."
Edward Witten began to explain carefully, trying to explain in as simple a manner as possible, hoping that Zhao Yi could understand thoroughly while also showcasing his research progress.
The latter was also crucial.
Edward Witten greatly admired Zhao Yi, but he also compared himself to Zhao Yi. He may be much older than Zhao Yi, but he has always believed that he is one of the very few super-geniuses in the world, even throughout history. But after eting Zhao Yi, he found himself diocre. Despite being only in his twenties, Zhao Yi’s fa and achievents in mathematics were no less than his.
Zhao Yi listened patiently and kept nodding.
He almost understood all of it and connected it to the Higgs chanism issue. The Higgs chanism principle he needs to demonstrate must rely on Edward Witten’s research.
Their research complents each other.
The difference is that Edward Witten studies the interior issues of M Theory and multidinsional space, while Zhao Yi studies the particle problems in the external three-dinsional space.
If compared to a fruit, Edward Witten is docunting the unseen internal part, gradually reaching its edge. Zhao Yi, on the other hand, is docunting the outside, reaching the external edge.
Then the two intend to combine their findings to illustrate the fruit’s peel.
In comparison, his argunt is closer to reality, constructing the entire mathematical system based on known rules and principles. Along the way, there might be situations where the constructed system contradicts known principles.
Zhao Yi hopes to see that situation because under the circumstance where only one can be right, he could know whether his theory is incorrect or the known principle is wrong.
Edward Witten talked a lot, which can mostly be considered as ’fantastic imagination constructed by beautiful mathematics’. He then suddenly asked Zhao Yi, "Do you have any progress? I rember you said you had finished a small part."
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "A while ago, I used my theory to analyze the problem of supersymtry and completed the demonstration."
"...What did you say?"
Zhao Yi, in confusion, said, "I completed the analysis of the supersymtry problem? What’s wrong?"
"Oh! Bloody hell!"
Edward Witten suddenly stood up. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You call this a small part? Supersymtry? A small part?"
"Isn’t it..."
Zhao Yi weakly rebutted, "It’s just a demonstration using my theory, not a proof."
"Of course it’s not a proof! It’s impossible to prove!" Edward Witten, excited, started pacing and then shouted at the screen, "The physics world will be blown away by this news! Also, where will you publish?"
"Mathematical Physics Journal."
Edward Witten asked a bit puzzled, "——? What’s that?"
