Into Unscientific Chapter 444

  Chapter 444 The Titanic Sinks Suddenly (Part 2)

   As a scientist of European descent.

  In the past sixty years of his life, Gabriel Veniziano actually had some intersection with Huaxia.

  For example, in his autobiography, he once mentioned that there is a Cantonese restaurant opened by a Chinese next to his home. The owner is a very kind couple.

  For example, among his college classmates, there are some foreign students from China.

   When Gabriel Veniziano was studying in college, it was the 1980s, and the composition of foreign students in Huaxia was not as complicated as it is now.

  Although there were some who were able to go abroad at that time, most of them were public school masters. This group of wall hangings from the East left an indelible impression on Gabriel Veniziano.

But on the other hand.

   Huaxia's impression of Gabriel Veniziano was nothing more than that.

  Gabriel Veniziano has always believed that he and Huaxia will not have much intersection, and the element of Huaxia will only appear in memoirs and autobiography.

   But it wasn't until today that Gabriel Veniziano found out.

   China.

   This word, no, it should be said that this country has so many intersections with my life?

   Really amazing

   buzz buzz—

   Just when Gabriel Veniziano was in a daze.

  In the big pit in front of him that had been filled with water-based fluid, there was a sudden vibration.

   This is the signal that the device is officially started.

  Actually, according to the experimental requirements, no one can be in the F4 library at this time.

   It's not just about hygiene.

What's more important is that the human body will emit radiation due to life activities, and the electronic equipment on the body will also affect the progress of the experiment. All errors are not allowed.

   But today

   Gabriel Veniziano did not choose to leave.

  He just stood in the aisle like this, quietly looking at the water surface below. Or the liquid surface.

  In fact, due to the blue color of the water-based fluid, Gabriel Veniziano has no view of the bottom of the pit where he is standing.

   But at this moment.

  Gabriel Veniziano's gaze seemed to see the operation of the experimental equipment at the bottom of the pit through the azure liquid surface.

  First the particle beam is emitted.

   followed by particle collisions

  Scattering and capturing of high-energy particles.

  After the ground state treatment, the magneto-optical trap falls, and the isolated particles are separated separately

  Following peripheral radiation shielding, a short-term damage field is generated

  J/psi particle correction module import

  In a certain microscopic field.

  An ultrlow temperature particle smaller than dust 'walks' in the water-based fluid with a certain unique spin, leaving one after another beautiful tails.

  biubiubiu~

  The initial oscillating arc of this particle invisible to the naked eye in the water-based liquid was very small, but with the accumulation of various equipment, the water above it suddenly began to oscillate.

Snapped-

  A few drops of water fell on Gabriel Veniziano's feet, and quickly seeped through the trousers and into the socks.

  The main component of the upper water-based liquid is heavy water, which will not cause any harm to the human body when splashed.

  But in the low temperature state, it is inexplicably bitingly cold.

  This tunnel of more than 30 meters is like a bumping bucket at this time, and the liquid is constantly surging and undulating.

  Gabriel Veniziano did not flinch at all. The little silver-haired old man firmly grasped the guardrail, his eyes locked tightly on the bottom.

  He was waiting for a signal visible to the naked eye.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

fifteen minutes

   When the time slowly reached the eighteenth minute.

  In the big pit that was originally azure blue, an extremely dazzling red light suddenly appeared from the bottom.

   Gabriel Veniziano's breath stagnates suddenly.

   This signal represents an incoming particle hitting a xenon nucleus, which produces free charges and/or photons.

At the same time, because the energy of a single xenon atom endowed by the collision is a pseudo-scalar after commuting with the model quantity of the non-self-morphic particle colliding with it, the brightness of the red light represents the excess vector contingency—this sentence does not Typos or mistakes in word order.

   In human terms it is.

   The more dark matter fits the Standard Model, the more red it will glow.

   According to the existing preset model.

  Hot dark matter is the flow of neutrinos, even if they collide with atomic nuclei, no light will be produced.

  Theoretically warm dark matter can produce a light source with a width of about two centimeters. Due to the accumulation of lenses, the people at the top can still see this beam of light with some effort.

  As for the cold dark matter, which is the dark matter in the standard sense, it can be divided into several situations.

   That is, the five models mentioned before:

   Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs),

   axion,

  Inert neutrinos,

  Supermassive particles,

  Ultralight vector particles.

   Among them, the theoretical aperture thickness of supermassive particles and ultralight vector particles should be ten centimeters to fifteen centimeters.

  Inert neutrinos are relatively controversial due to unknown properties, but it is generally believed to be between 18-30 centimeters.

   The axion is about 40 cm.

  WIMP is currently considered to be the most likely particle of dark matter, and its width is 60-80 cm.

  And the light and shadow that appeared in front of Gabriel Veniziano right now.

  As long as it is not an interstellar player, even the naked eye can clearly see its width, at least it will not be lower than

  Two meters!

   Indeed.

  Due to the refractive index of the lens and water-based liquid medium, the aperture seen by the naked eye may be somewhat different from the model standard.

  For example, supermassive particles may be confused with inert neutrinos, and the specific distinction needs to be distinguished by a more sophisticated tool called an instrument.

  But the so-called 'in and out' here is only a dozen or twenty centimeters, it is impossible to expand an 8 centimeter aperture to two meters so outrageous.

   In other words.

   This time.

  Liner Dark Matter Laboratory really found standard dark matter particles.

  Dash, under the guidance of the Huaxia people.

  Looking at the glowing red surface of the water-based liquid.

  Gabriel Veniziano thought for a moment, and took out a piece of A4 paper with various experimental data printed on it from the jumpsuit.

   Then he folded the piece of paper into a small paper boat, bent down, and put it into the water through the gap in the guardrail.

  The oscillating water-based fluid drove the paper boat to float, while rapidly soaking its body.

   In less than half a minute at most, the paper boat will get wet and sink.

  Gabriel Veniziano stared at the paper boat for a few seconds, and put the harmonica in a corner of the aisle.

   Then he patted Nelson on the shoulder, and left the F4 library without looking back:

   "We should be leaving, Nelson."

   Two minutes later.

   Gabriel Veniziano, who took off his jumpsuit, returned to the main control room and walked to Angie Pedro's side:

   "Pedro, how is the situation?"

   Angie Pedro glanced at his friend, picked up a report from the table and handed it to him:

   "The verification is correct, the Chinese people have indeed discovered the standard dark matter particle."

   Gabriel Veniziano took the report, put it aside without looking at it, shook his head and said:

   "I know this. The red light in the F4 library has been snapped onto my face. That thing is much more intuitive than the data."

   "Pedro, I'm not asking about the result, but"

   "What's our rank?"

  Angie Pedro smiled at him, pointed to the live broadcast on the main control screen, and said:

   "See that light in the front? Ours."

  Gabriel Veniziano was stunned for a moment, but he was not overly happy when he came back to his senses. Instead, he puffed out his cheeks and let out a long breath.

  I saw him pull a stool casually, and sat down heavily.

   Leaning forward, inserting ten fingers into the silver-white hair, with a blank expression.

   But Gabriel Veniziano wasn't crying.

Precisely

  He doesn't even know which mood he should switch to.

   For Gabriel Veniziano, now 65, who is also in the middle stages of esophageal cancer.

  Being able to see the discovery of dark matter before retirement or death is actually quite a gratifying thing.

   This means that the direction he insisted on is not wrong-this sentence sounds simple, but for scientists, this sentence is a blessing in life.

  In the long history of science, I don't know how many people failed to find the goal they wanted to pursue until their death, and were even told that the direction of their life was wrong.

   Like Friedrich Frege.

  At the end of the nineteenth century,

  The German mathematician Cantor founded the set theory, which was later regarded as the basic theory of the entire mathematical building.

  Almost all scientists believe that all mathematics can be based on set theory, among which Friedrich Frege is an enthusiastic supporter.

  Frege tried to use the concept of sets to define numbers, and completed the first volume of his book "Fundamental Laws of Arithmetic" in 1893, and then stepped up writing the second volume while the iron was hot.

  As a result, in 1902, Russell's paradox appeared.

  Frege tried to solve this paradox, but his solution was quickly rejected by Lesniewski.

  Frege could only give up the direction he had been working on for more than 20 years, gave up mathematics, and finally died of depression.

   Also in the documentary of the European Hadron Collider, there is a little old man who has been studying supersymmetry theory for 40 years.

  When he had to face the camera and admit to his friends that his hard work for so many years turned out to be in vain, the helplessness, depression, loss and sadness were really heartbreaking. (I strongly recommend you to watch this documentary, there is a Chinese version)

   Other than that.

  Beringia is also a famous example.

  Many people may not have much impression of this name, but they must have read such a text when they were studying:

  The beginning of the 18th century, the eve of the great development of science.

   At the University of Pittsburgh in Germany, some students brought an old professor some wonderful fossils that he had never seen before.

   It not only depicts birds, insects and other rare birds and monsters, but also introduces the sun, moon and ancient and incomprehensible stone books similar to Hebrew.

  Professor was very excited after seeing it, and immediately went to the site where the fossil was discovered with the students, and excavated several fossils again.

  From this day on, the professor devoted himself to sorting out the collected specimens.

  After decades of hard work, the professor's efforts finally bear fruit:

  A splendid monograph of 21 fossil lithographs is published, entitled The Pittsburgh Stone Chronicle.

  However, in the end, the professor discovered that these fossils were forged, and that the students had played a prank on him.

  So the old professor soon died of depression.

   This person is Beringer.

   Therefore, compared with the above-mentioned people, Gabriel Veniziano is undoubtedly lucky.

  This means that he did not choose the wrong path.

But on the other hand.

  Gabriel Veniziano has devoted almost his entire scientific research career in the field of dark matter for more than thirty years.

  At the same time, in terms of resume and achievements, he undoubtedly has the qualifications and strength to discover dark matter.

   But the discoverer of dark matter right now is not him, but someone else.

   It is undoubtedly a pity to watch others ascend the rank of gods in front of them, adding honor to them.

  Gabriel Veniziano may never forget this day and this scene in his life.

   In front of the wreck.

  He spread his arms like his idol Wallace Hartley.

  But when the sea water submerged his body, he was far from being as relieved as his idol.

This.

  Maybe it is the cruel side of science.

  It's like that old Chinese saying.

   One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die.

   Right now.

  Almost all experimental institutions around the world have the same experimental results as Liner's dark matter laboratory.

   This is an irrefutable report.

  In these experimental institutions, everyone's emotions are different.

  Someone rejoices.

  Someone is dumbfounded.

   Someone cursed.

   There were also people crying.

  But no matter what these people think in their hearts, they cannot change the occurrence of an established fact:

  At the press conference, more and more lights began to turn green.

   At the same time, it is still due to the 'general trend'.

  Even those institutions that have an extremely bad attitude towards Huaxia can only press the corresponding indicator light helplessly at this time - at this time, if they don't admit the facts, only themselves will be ashamed.

  So ever since.

  First light

  The Seventh Light

  The fifteenth lamp.

  When the last indicator light turns green.

  The scene fell silent.

   But a second later.

  The venue suddenly burst into thunderous applause, and the invisible heat wave seemed to lift the roof.

  Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang didn't need anyone's signal, they stood up from their seats at the same time and clapped their hands vigorously.

  Christine beside Xu Yun also stood up.

  Although this filial daughter's expression was not as excited as Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang's, she was a little respectful.

  Relatively emotional girls like Chen Shanshan and Zhang Han already had tears in their eyes.

   This is not worth it, this is a scene that will inevitably be recorded in the entire history of human science and technology.

  Like the photo in the CERN conference room in 2013, it will last forever.

   Higgs.

  Thooft

   Salinger.

  Old Yang.

  These top bosses also applauded in their seats to congratulate.

  Look at the whole scene.

   Only two people didn't have smiles on their faces.

  One of them is Atsuto Suzuki.

  At this time, the little old man was looking at a face comparable to Sun Xiaochuan, clapping his hands reluctantly, the frequency was as slow as the slow motion shot of "In the Snow".

   while the other is.

  Edward Witten.

   Push a friend's book, "Above the Sky" by Yintian Shenyin, the update is stable, the plot is novel and beautiful~
