Huaxia, Xilin Mathematical Research Institute, eighth floor.
Today it's particularly lively here.
Because Su Mucheng suddenly got the idea to bring the two babies, Qiao Zhenxuan and Qiao Peng, to Qiao Ze's office.
Normally, Ms Su and Lu Xiuxiu wouldn't allow her to be so reckless. Coincidentally, Lu Xiuxiu is busy today, with various end-of-year etings on the logistics side, keeping her quite occupied. Ms Su, on the other hand, had so family matters to handle in Linhai, and went back yesterday. She is expected to return by the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
There is a nanny at ho, and Dou Dou is watching over them 24 hours, so there is no sense of worry.
But Su Mucheng claid she wanted the Qiao family's two treasures to early adapt to their father's work environnt, laying a foundation for them to beco great mathematicians in the future, which sounded reasonable to bring the babies to the institute.
As long as Qiao Ze doesn't voice opposition, others naturally won't bother with such minor matters.
That's the situation in the Qiao Family, Lu Xiuxiu favors her daughter-in-law, so as long as Qiao Ze doesn't oppose sothing, Su Mucheng makes the decision. If Qiao Ze finds sothing inappropriate and speaks out, most of the ti Su will understand.
Of course, occasionally Su Mucheng will have small tantrums, but it's nothing serious. At such tis, a group of people will start speaking fairly, and with so many people persuading her, Su naturally will understand too. Honestly, Su Mucheng's character has been thoroughly analyzed, with main traits being receptive to persuasion.
Thus, even when the family of four is still in the car, Qiao Ze's office has already been temporarily turned into a children's playground.
Items in the office that could cause accidents for kids have been moved to the adjacent eting room. The floor is covered with thick soft mats, giving the two little ones a place to crawl and play.
The two little ones are almost half a year old. Whenever they're awake, the sister loves crawling around everywhere, showing a strong desire to explore. The brother prefers to challenge himself by sitting unsteadily, leaning against the railing with his upper body, sucking his fingers, and his eyes following the sister's crawling path back and forth.
Occasionally, due to excessive head swings, he might topple over while sitting, but he doesn't try to sit back up. Instead, he remains in place, babbling, and naturally, soone will rush over to help this little live wire back to a sitting position again.
At such monts, the sister will pause her crawling, turn her head curiously to look at her brother.
At ho, these two little ones interact this way, and they continue to do so in Qiao Ze's office.
For those working at the institute, anyone qualified to be on the eighth floor will find an excuse to take a peek upon hearing that Su Mucheng brought the two babies over.
There's no help for it, everyone is quite curious about these two little ones, especially wanting to see if Qiao Ze's children appear smart and have the potential to inherit Qiao Ze's legacy.
Indeed, children of geniuses often bear pressure mismatched with their age from birth, carrying expectations they shouldn't.
Fortunately, during this period, the two little ones not only can't feel the undue pressure but the adults coming to observe them bring their subjective "genius filters."
Even the most ordinary actions will be praised by a bunch of adults: "Look, as expected of Academician Qiao's kids, they truly have been smart since birth, the brother is already able to sit at just over five months old..."
Every ti Su hears soone say this, her eyes turn into crescent moons with delight. Thus, Su Mucheng's face muscles are almost stiff from smiling throughout the whole morning.
"Hey, let see whose little cutie this is..."
"Professor Witten, hello."
"Hello, Madam Qiao, these two babies are so cute. Are they about to sleep?"
"Yes, they played for a long ti today. Usually, they'd have slept by now; probably the unfamiliar environnt made them excited." Su Mucheng said, looking at the two little ones tenderly.
The doctor suggests that five-month-old babies need about fifteen hours of sleep daily. After just being fed and having their diapers changed, the two little ones clearly started feeling sleepy.
Especially the sister, crawling around on the mats is quite tiring. After feeding and a diaper change, she wriggled around on the mats a bit more and directly fell asleep there.
The brother noticed his sister stopped moving, and his eyelids began fighting too, he toppled his head and lay beside the mat, soon emitting even breaths.
Older folks most likely envy this kind of sleep state.
"I'm really envious of you." Edward Witten sincerely remarked, only then did he look toward Qiao Ze who was sitting aside, then raised the docunt in his hand, his expression becoming serious: "Want to take a look?"
Seeing Qiao Ze nod slightly, Edward Witten walked over, drew out the most important sheet from the docunt, and handed it over.
After reading, Qiao Ze remained silent, the two exchanged glances wordlessly. In fact, Dou Dou had reported this docunt to him first thing in the morning. He even knew that this report was released today at 4:37 AM.
After a mont of silence, Edward Witten said: "The good news is, according to theoretical predictions, the change rate of the speed of light is very slow. Theoretically, it would decrease by about 1 ter every thousand years, or even slower, so there is no imdiate concern. Lorentz transformation, ti dilation, and length contraction effects can continue to use existing formulas.
