Although there were many aspects of Roth Dugan that prompted criticism, Edward Witten still answered the phone.
It seems that everyone has soone like that in their life: despite finding them annoying, you can't help but pay attention when they co looking for you.
"Hello."
"Guess who just called ?"
"I'd rather not." Edward Witten answered succinctly.
"Ha, you're still as dull as ever, Edward. It's Qiao, he talked to about so really interesting stuff. If it had been anyone else, I would have taken it as a joke, but since it's him... well, I admit, I believed it."
"Qiao Ze?" Edward Witten glanced at the notes on his office desk and beca intrigued, "Don't tell he's actually completed that missing mathematical proof based on his previous idea, rather than just giving us a conjectured result."
"BINGO! Or should I say, wishful thinking co true? That's exactly what he said! I guess Qiao Ze might have referred to your M-theory when constructing his mathematical theory. For example, he just predicted that the wave function Ψ of a graviton should exist in an n-dinsional space where n is greater than four."
Upon hearing this, Edward Witten once again looked at the latest lab records summarized in the manuscript on his desk.
"Energy asymtry: in collision events, about 5.32% of the energy displays asymtry."
This in itself suggested the possibility of high-dinsional influences; otherwise, the energy detected in the closed collider space should be symtrical.
This is also one of the theoretical assumptions of string theory.
In the High Energy Laboratory, if so energy leaks into extra dinsions that humans have not yet directly observed, it might be possible to observe phenona that seem to violate the conservation of energy in four-dinsional space-ti.
This energy asymtry could be suspected as indirect evidence for the existence of extra dinsions.
Of course, this is rely theoretical.
The reason string theory has not been widely accepted in academia is that modern technological ans cannot verify it through experints.
Although the theory Qiao Ze provided was vastly different from string theory, it similarly posited that gravitons would exchange energy with high-dinsional spaces that are temporarily unobservable by humans. If the results are valid, it could an a lot, such as reinterpreting the composition of the universe or even deducing the shape and structure of the universe.
Of course, more problems would follow.
A normal three-dinsional wave function only depends on three spatial coordinates and ti, but when considering additional spatial dinsions, the wave function must also be defined in these extra dinsions, implying that its mathematical form would beco even more complex.
For instance, if gravitons are particles in a five-dinsional space, then their wave function would be a function of five spatial dinsions plus the ti dinsion, that is, Ψ(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, t). This function would have to satisfy a higher-dinsional Schrödinger equation.
Dealing with such high-dinsional wave functions is also exceedingly complicated.
Firstly, with every additional dinsion, the system's degree of freedom increases by one. It is evident that this would lead to a significant increase in the amount of information required to describe the system. This increase in information suggests that particle dynamics show new characteristics in high dinsions, which are also unobservable.
Edward Witten even doubted whether current supercomputing technology could handle such complex data.
Moreover, considering interactions, a high-dinsional Schrödinger equation would beco even harder to solve, which would also exponentially increase the difficulty of understanding and explaining this type of high-dinsional particle behavior pattern.
To sum up, if Qiao Ze's theory holds true, then it would open up a new door to mathematics and physics. It would also infinitely raise the bar for studying theoretical physics, and it is very likely that academia would be presented with a multitude of new insurmountable problems.
For instance, several theoretical issues that could rival the mass gap problem were now erging in Edward Witten's mind.
The existence and uniqueness of the global solution to the multi-dinsional quantum gravity wave function?
The relationship between the ti evolution of the wave function and the topological structure of high-dinsional space?
How to mathematically handle the normalization problem of such high-dinsional wave functions?
How to describe the geotrization and topological classification issues of high-dinsional quantum fields?
How to construct a mathematical model for high-dinsional quantum gravity theory that could be used to describe the physical processes involving the Containnt Graviton in high dinsions?
...
If given enough ti, Witten could co up with many more similar questions. This is the dilemma faced by theoreticians when a sudden breakthrough occurs in fundantal theory.
Every ti they solved one problem, a plethora of even more troubleso issues would arise, demanding their consideration and resolution.
In this regard, the saying that whenever humans think, God laughs, seems quite reasonable.
From what he could see, to start addressing these issues, one needed not just a proficient grasp of traditional quantum chanics theory, high-dinsional geotry, partial differential equations, functional analysis, and topology, but also a deep understanding of Qiao Ze's thods, especially the complete digestion and understanding of the Super Helical Coordinate System and beyond-space.
The need to resolve large-scale theoretical problems was expanding, including but not limited to the global properties of high-dinsional quantum geotry, potential singularities, continuous and discrete transformations between high-dinsional quantums geotries, as well as the consistency conditions of the corresponding physical theories of these high-dinsional geotries.
Really, just the thought of these issues was enough to feel like his brain was about to explode.
This made him eager to see Qiao Ze's detailed argunt.
