Chapter 1325 - Still Warm
Chapter 1325: Still Warm
Professor Felix swore that…
This was definitely the most exciting physics class he had ever experienced in his life.
This feeling had shocked his soul. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time, so it felt almost strange to him.
He vaguely remembered the professor who taught him told him that there was nothing to teach him anymore. The only way forward was to rely on himself. That was the last time he felt this way.
But now, he had this feeling again, and it shocked the depths of his soul.
Even though this was coming from a man many years younger than him…
“Unbelievable…” Professor Felix stared at Lu Zhou with an incredulous gaze. He opened and closed his mouth.
Lu Zhou had guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and joked.
“Looks like you noticed something.”
Professor Felix looked at Lu Zhou and got up from the seat. He then lowered his head seriously.
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome.” Lu Zhou said happily, “I am glad to be able to inspire your research.”
Professor Felix was obviously not the only person who was shocked.
There was still a crowd around them.
The crowd was going nuts!
Even though the physicists standing here were fairly reserved, they couldn’t help but clap their hands because they were shocked by the calculations on the whiteboard.
The most excited ones were the interns.
Most of them had just arrived at the ILHCRC a few months ago, and they had never seen anything like this. This was the first time they encountered such an awesome scene.
“F*ck me, God Lu is nuts!”
“It’s more than nuts… The problem of the origin of neutrino mass is one of the most cutting-edge research areas in physics! One of the most difficult ones! Our professor said that, if anyone can produce results in this area, they can brag about it for the rest of their life!”
“Looks like Professor Felix is convinced.”
“Makes sense, if someone gives me a lesson like this, I won’t just be convinced, I’ll be praying on my knees, calling him my dad!”
“Pfft, who wants a son like you.”
Bathed in the thunderous applause, Lu Zhou returned to his seat and sat down. He reached out and took a sip of the coffee.
The woodiness and sweetness spread on his taste buds. He nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad.
It’s still warm.
…
The same night, Professor Felix returned to Boston by plane. Although Lu Zhou had asked him to wait until the Century of Physics was over, he declined Lu Zhou’s invitation after some hesitation.
His head was full of inspiration for research on the origin of neutrino mass.
When Lu Zhou proposed the idea of combining the Leptogenesis mechanism to modify the Seesaw mechanism, it was as if he had entered a new world.
He didn’t want to do anything else; he was not in the mood to participate in academic conferences. He just wanted to go back to his laboratory as soon as possible, take advantage of the inspiration, and go back to research.
While Professor Felix boarded the flight back to North America, what happened in the cafe spread like wildfire by the physicists.
Some people said that the physics professor from MIT came from Boston on a special trip to ask Lu Zhou about the origin of neutrino mass.
Other people said that Professor Felix got on the plane heading to Shanghai because his paper was rejected, but he was taught a lesson when confronting Lu Zhou.
There were also some bizarre rumors. For example, Lu Zhou proved the mass of neutrinos on the spot in a coffee shop, but because the whiteboard was too small, he only wrote half of the proof.
The rumors became more and more outrageous as it spread. Later on, it was also spread to several well-known physics forums, which caused a lot of discussions.
But no matter what the story was, one thing remained unchanged.
Which was the writings on the whiteboard.
Even though Lu Zhou did not prove the reason for neutrino mass, he falsified a research idea that was generally optimistic by scholars working in this research area.
If the Seesaw model on the TeV energy scale led to the destruction of the lepton mixing matrix, then the Seesaw mechanism was not applicable to neutrino mass research. Thousands of ongoing studies would have to change their research pathways because of this sad news.
What was shocking was not the significance of this research result.
It was that Lu Zhou completed all of this in less than half an hour…
Almost everyone who heard this was flabbergasted. They only had one thought in this mind.
Yep, this guy…
Is definitely not human.
The next night.
The ILHCRC cafeteria.
Luo Wenxuan carried a dinner plate and walked straight to the corner of the cafeteria. He put down the tray opposite Lu Zhou and sat down on the seat opposite him.
“That’s amazing!”
“… What is?”
“Don’t you know? At the cafe yesterday afternoon! Proving the origin of neutrino mass on the spot! Now the entire ILHCRC… No, the entire physics community is discussing this!”
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan’s eyes that were full of excitement and admiration. He then said with a light cough, “I didn’t prove the origin of neutrino mass, that can’t be calculated with pen and paper… I just disproved one of the research ideas about the Seesaw mechanism from the perspective of mathematical physics.”
“That’s amazing too! Do you know what Professor Witten said about you?”
“… What?”
“That there are at least three equations on the entire whiteboard that would take him an entire day to understand. No one has ever produced such delicate and impeccable calculations, it was like the whole proof process was not thought out, but came naturally.”
Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed.
“… That is only because the old man is humble. In fact, this is not a very difficult problem. With his mathematics ability, answering this question won’t be difficult.”
“Humble? No way, from the physicists I know, the humble ones I can count on my hand. And Witten is definitely not one of them… By the way, do you know what they are saying about you now?”
Lu Zhou: “They?”
“The ILHCRC interns!” Luo Wenxuan smiled at Lu Zhou and said, “Professor Lu solved a world-class physics problem with a cup of coffee. In theory, as long as we supply him with enough coffee, there will be no more secrets in the world of physics.”
Lu Zhou: “…”
“Seriously, when did you start researching neutrino mass? Why have I never heard you talk about it?”
“Because I didn’t. ”
Luo Wenxuan opened his mouth and sighed a little.
“Fine, if you don’t want to tell me, just forget it, pretend like I didn’t ask.”
Lu Zhou: “…?”
