Into Unscientific

Mentioned earlier.

The bigwigs who came to the scene today are all of high academic status, and most of them have given lectures such as English reports.

So these people around Xu Yun either simply speak English as their mother tongue, or they have strong English listening and speaking skills.

It's just that they didn't interrupt Xu Yun and the little old man hastily because of the consideration of politeness.

Therefore, after hearing that the other party claimed to have taken Xu Yun's first time,

Swish——

Including Hou Xingyuan and the senior official from Sichuan and Chongqing.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and quickly took a small step back after recovering.

The half-step back action is serious.jpg.

On the contrary, among those reporters, quite a few showed anticipation to find big news.

After all, regardless of the fact that Xu Yun has no professional title or hat in the scientific research circle, the introduction to the industry is either a student of HKUST, or academician Pan's lover.

But on the Internet outside of scientific circles.

With the end of HKUST press conference, Xu Yun has gradually gained a certain popularity.

After all, the HKUST press conference back then was really effective.

afterwards.

Interested people also found a video of Xu Yun's brief speech a few months ago, during the live broadcast of disinfecting cockroaches at HKUST.

So much so that now there is a question [How strong is the actual ability of Xu Yun of the University of Science and Technology of China] [Whether Xu Yun of the University of Science and Technology of China, who has been splashed with dirty water by foreign forces, has the potential of a top scientist] [Xu Yun will still be a child after 40 years old] ?] [Is the University of Science and Technology making gods for the products of Huadun Biotech] and other topics.

So if we can really come up with breaking news at this time

A certain reporter even thought of what Zhang Rui said when he released the report at the public opinion press conference.

really.

Xu Yun did not find any female-specific strains in his sexual characteristics, but it cannot be denied that there are no other male strains in his body.

Regrettably.

Before the reporter's brainstorming had fully unfolded, the little old man took the initiative to refute the rumors with his next sentence:

"Student Xu Yun, I'm Morton L. Groby. I reviewed your first paper. Do you still have any impression?"

"."

It was not only the reporters who were thrown back to reality by this sentence, but also Xu Yun himself.

He blinked in confusion, and after a few seconds, a memory quietly appeared in his mind:

months ago.

After a detailed discussion with Tian Liangwei, Xu Yun submitted his paper on the fifth-generation imidacloprid to "NUCLEIC AIDS RES".

At that time, the reviewer Tian Liangwei recommended to him was none other than Morton L. Grobe, a well-known biologist.

So he was indeed the first boss to review Xu Yun's thesis.

only

Why does it feel weird to say this from Morton L. Groby?

Could it be that when a person arrives in Rongcheng, he will automatically be buffed with the basic capital?

Seeing Xu Yun still seemed a little dazed, Lu Chaoyang couldn't help but lightly poked his heel with his toe.

After being reminded by Lu Chaoyang, Xu Yun completely recovered.

He quickly grabbed Morton L. Groby's hand, shook it vigorously a few times, with a very sincere gesture:

"It turned out to be you, Mr. Morton. I have admired your name for a long time. I even printed out the paper you published on combination proteins last March."

Some of Xu Yun's enthusiasm was polite, but more of it was sincere.

One reason is that Morton L. Groby is about the same age as Tian Liangwei. From the perspective of a junior, he must respect his seniors.

Second come.

It was because Morton L. Groby had done him a great favor.

At the time of submission, Xu Yun was in a completely white state, and even the Huadun Biotechnology Department was not established.

Let alone international at that time.

There is not even a little bit of fame in the domestic academic circle.

Morton L. Groby is willing to serve as a reviewer for him, which is of little help to the drafting and publishing of his paper.

What's more, the other party is still a top gene and protein expert nowadays, and has deep attainments in some fields that Tian Liangwei has not gone deep into, but Xu Yun needs.

So Xu Yun wanted to meet this master for a long time, but he just suffered from no chance.

all in all.

Although today's first meeting process is a little bit subtle.

But after talking about it, there is no problem.

After all, Xu Yun walked upright and stood upright, there was no way he could bend.

Otherwise, he would forget it on the spot and stop making this oath.

It's a pity that Tian Liangwei is not in today's pick-up queue, otherwise it should save some effort.

Then Morton L. Groby enthusiastically introduced Lucas and Lars, who he met on the plane, to Xu Yun.

The former Xu Yun has heard the name but never met the real person, and immediately remembered the other party's origin when they met:

Director of the CDF detector at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a well-known unlucky guy who was nominated for the Nobel Prize twice but encountered wall-mounted competitors twice.

Not long ago, there was an overseas hot search because of the bear’s voice. If nothing else, it should have a certain common language with Polyakov, the cheerful little old man from the bear.

As for Lars

Xu Yun really didn't know him anymore.

However, he had seen Lars speak on stage during yesterday's live broadcast, so he also knew that the other party was from CERN.

Then Xu Yun and Academician Pan sent Anton Salinger and Morton L. Groby to the bus to the city. Xu Yun sent a message to Tian Liangwei on WeChat and returned out of place.

At this time, ten hours had passed since the initial pick-up time.

Whether it was Hou Xingyuan or the high-ranking official from Sichuan, they were a little tired at this time, and they would yawn occasionally.

After all, for Lucas and others, it was seven o'clock in the morning in Europe when they left Paris.

At that time, Polyakov just arrived in Rongcheng.

But for Hou Xingyuan, or the local pick-up group.

Due to the time difference, they arrived at the departure hall at two or three o'clock in the local afternoon.

In other words, the local time at this time is already approaching midnight.

But Hou Xingyuan had no intention of handing over the scene to his deputy.

as if

There is no important person to come.

So

Who is Hou Xingyuan waiting for?

Or is it a certain person, or two, or three people?

Think here.

The curiosity in Xu Yun's heart overwhelmed his exhaustion, and he patiently waited with Lu Chaoyang.

After about ten minutes.

Hou Xingyuan, who had been looking at his watch, suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the entrance of the passage.

ten minutes later.

When the time was half a minute short of zero.

At the special passage, a little foreign old man who was supported by someone appeared.

The figure of this person is the same as that of many bigwigs who came before, and he looks a little bloated.

The complexion is sallow, the thinning hair is all white, and the forehead to the top of the forehead is smooth, like a smooth marinated egg.

However, the muscles on both sides of this person's face are very plump, drooping below the corners of the mouth, and the muscles tremble when they walk a step.

Seeing this, Hou Xingyuan hurried into the special passage, came to the old man's side, and personally supported him.

Kacha Kacha——

at the same time.

The surrounding reporters also raised their cameras or video cameras, frantically recording.

Even some academicians are no exception.

Because the comer is worthy of this kind of formation.

It was mentioned before.

before today.

The highest-level physics conference held in China was the quantum anomalous Hall effect discovered by Academician Xue Qikun of Shuimu University in 2013.

In the case of previous Nobel prizes for both integer and fractional quantum Hall effects.

Perhaps years later, the quantum anomalous Hall effect will also receive this honor.

Notice.

This is not YY, because there are many examples of the delayed release of the Nobel Prize.

Like that Eric Cornell who arrived not so long ago.

He made the Bose-Einstein condensate in 1995, but he didn't win it until 2001.

There is also the more well-known Grandma Tu.

Grandma Tu extracted artemisinin as early as 1972, but she did not win the Nobel Prize in Medicine until 2015, a full 43 years later.

And actually.

Grandma Tu is not the Nobel Prize winner with the longest interval between achievement and award.

In the history of the Nobel Prize, there was one person who waited for 49 years from the achievement to the final award.

He is the little old man who was being supported by Hou Xingyuan at this time——

Peter Higgs.

That is, the creator of the Higgs boson, the God particle.

That's right.

The results of the Higgs particle released at the CERN press conference in 2012 verified the conjecture of Peter Higgs.

Many people may have wondered about a question when they were studying:

What would the universe be like if mass didn't exist?

You and I are as light as ghosts?

The answer is not.

If the mass does not exist.

First of all, the masses of quarks, W bosons and Z bosons will all become zero.

Since only about 1% of the mass of composite particles like protons and neutrons is attributable to the quarks they contain, their properties change only slightly.

The mass of tau and muon will also become zero, but they have nothing to do with real life.

Electronics are different.

The smaller the mass of the electron, the larger the size of the atom.

when the electron mass becomes zero.

The super-sized atoms will collide with each other and the whole atom will be broken up, and all the nuclei and electrons will be mixed together.

That is to say, atoms cannot exist alone, and there will be no water, air, and the world in which human beings live, and everything will return to chaos.

Therefore, in our world, there must be a quality-giving mechanism.

But what is this mechanism like?

The Standard Model of particle physics, the basis of our current view of the physical world, did not provide answers for a long time.

until 1964.

Higgs appeared.

He proposed the concept of the Higgs scalar field and established the Higgs mechanism by himself.

in the Higgs mechanism.

W bosons and Z bosons are simpler, gaining mass by applying the Higgs mechanism to the Higgs field.

Fermions obtain mass by applying the Higgs mechanism to the coupling between the Higgs field and the fermion field.

As for the particle that transfers mass, it is the Higgs boson.

The existence of this particle makes our world no longer chaotic, just like God in the West or Pan Gu in the East.

So it was named Zheng Zha Particle again, wrong, God Particle.

It's a pity that it's like Hawking mentioned earlier.

No matter how beautiful and logical a theory is without a final proof, it cannot win a Nobel Prize.

Like Einstein, the reason for the award is not the theory of relativity, but the photoelectric effect.

How hard is it to find the Higgs particle?

Let me give you some data.

The Higgs boson only occurs about once in every billion proton collisions, and it's as short-lived as the beluga:

It decays again in less than a trillionth of a second.

So the Higgs cannot be measured or observed directly, it can only be traced through the decay products it leaves behind.

Unfortunately.

These consist of elementary particles, such as photon pairs, muons, or Z bosons, as countless other collision products decay

They will also release similar or identical traces.

So trying to find the Higgs particle is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The LHC has been in operation since 2008, and it was not until July 2012 that the trace of the Higgs particle was found.

This also pushed Higgs himself to the altar in one fell swoop.

Before the discovery of the Higgs particle, Higgs was probably in Landau's third rank of physicists.

But after the discovery of the Higgs particle.

He went straight to over 1.5 gears, close to 1 gear.

If Landau's ranking is subdivided without authorization, Higgs can probably be around 1.2 to 1.3.

Even in the overall ranking of physicists in human history, Higgs can also rank in the top 50.

in today's physics world.

He was probably in the same class as Gell-Mann, who died in 19, and slightly inferior to Old Yang, Glashow who was in the ICU, and Weinberg, who died in 21.

to some extent.

Higgs is the same as Makelele is the ball blind detector.

Those so-called physical rankings where he can be seen are not necessarily accurate-because he may be ranked very high or low.

But without the Higgs ranking, it must not be allowed.

Higgs is now 94 years old. He just had heart bypass surgery last year and his body has been recovering.

Xu Yun was really surprised that he could come to the scene in person.

But after thinking about it, this kind of behavior is reasonable.

After all, dark matter is the goal pursued by three generations of scientists

Whether Higgs is afraid of death or not, Xu Yun, as a non-party, doesn't know and is not qualified to make guesses.

But for sure.

If Higgs hadn't witnessed this press conference with his own eyes, even if Higgs died, he would definitely have regrets.

Curiosity trumped fear of death, so he's here.

Of course.

No matter how strong the thirst for knowledge is, Higgs' age is still there.

The long-distance flight of nearly ten hours made his spirit quite weak.

Therefore, except for the senior official from Sichuan and Shu who came forward to greet him, Higgs did not greet anyone, and was quickly taken away from the scene.

After Higgs left.

Hou Xingyuan returned to his original position again.

And kept standing, did not sit down.

Xu Yun noticed.

At this time, the latest flight on the flight information will take 20 minutes to land.

Even if the luggage of the visitor does not need to be picked up by himself, it will take at least half an hour including the passing time.

That is to say

Given the other party's identity or contribution, Hou Xingyuan would stand here for half an hour in vain.

Take a look at today's physics world.

There are only three fingers in the world who enjoy this qualification.

Who could this be?

After about twenty minutes.

When the time was close to midnight.

At the end of the special passage, there was a sound of wheels rolling.

After half a minute.

A middle-aged man in his forties pushed a wheelchair and appeared at the special passage.

There was a little old man sitting on the wheelchair, with a square face, gray hair with a little black, and a few age spots on his face.

More critically.

This is a Chinese.

This is the first Chinese person to appear on the scene today.

The moment I saw this person.

clap clap -

Without any gesture, everyone clapped their hands.

There were even a few young people who excitedly called out the person's name:

"Old Yang!"
