As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 284 I Can't Hold It Anymore
"Alan, you did a great job. I will apply to the higher-ups to publish this result.

We can omit the key points of the experimental steps. Just the fact that we have directly proved the existence of high-dimensional space through experiments is already a Nobel Prize-level achievement. "

Higgs was no different from other researchers at this moment, he was equally excited.

For theoretical physicists, is there anything more exciting than expanding the boundaries of human cognition?

Higgs discovered that the Higgs boson only speculated on the existence of this substance at the theoretical level, and the specific proof was direct observation through experiments conducted at CERN's super-large particle accelerator.

CERN's Toroidal instrument detected a new particle with a mass of 126.5 GeV.

Zheng Li was not too excited, because to him it was just a matter of replicating the previous experiments of the Mage Alliance using the equipment and instruments of Blue Star.

“We still have a lot of work to do.

We have now only confirmed that soul particles will partially escape into higher-dimensional space.

We have only taken a small step forward in our understanding of the nature of the soul.”

While Zheng Li was speaking, he and Higgs were slowly walking towards the edge of the crowd.

Higgs is now the de facto director of CERN, with a nominal director sent by the Europa Alliance.

The titular CERN director is primarily responsible for administrative work.

No one interrupted the conversation between the big guys.

Instead, he is waiting for Higgs to come up with some insightful ideas.

Higgs nodded and said, “I will not see humans become omniscient and omnipotent in my lifetime.

In other words, I never believe that there is such a thing as omniscience and omnipotence.

Yes, I stopped believing that when I was at King's College London.

Even if God really exists, I don’t believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent.

Just like the classic paradox, can God create a stone that he himself cannot lift?

Since omniscience and omnipotence do not exist, it is normal that when our cognition takes a step forward, the boundaries of cognition are expanded and there are more unknowns.

Like today, after proving that soul particles can escape into higher-dimensional space, countless questions also popped up in my mind.

What kind of existence is high-dimensional space? Can we observe it through soul particles and finally construct a relatively accurate model?

Are soul particles composed of two parts, one in high-dimensional space and the other in three-dimensional space, as we have speculated internally?
Part of the low-dimensional space is attracted by part of the high-dimensional space. If this is the case, then what blocks the attraction between the two when intelligent life survives?
How did the soul come into being when intelligent life first emerged?

Actually, I have just been thinking about it.

For us, there is some direction in these questions. I am afraid that there is some substance in the body of intelligent life that prevents this attraction.

Because this can be done by setting up a very simple control experiment, comparing living intelligent life with intelligent life that has just died.

But more problems cannot be solved.

Not even a thought.

None of this affects us now, today, right here at CERN's headquarters, happy for Alan.

This is a discovery worthy of being recorded in human history and a great expansion of human cognition.

Today we give everyone half a day off, go celebrate, young people! "

Higgs is already 97 years old, so it is normal for him to call the researchers present "young men".

Even with the magic brain, Higgs still looks old.

When Higgs finished speaking, everyone in the room cheered.

It was no less than the cheers when the existence of higher-dimensional space was successfully proved.

"Alan, come with me for a moment," Higgs added, then walked towards his office.

Everyone else returned to their workstations to pack up their packages and prepare to go home.

"Nice job, man."

"Remember to come to the celebration party tonight. You can't have fun unless you are drunk."

"Don't always look expressionless. This is a groundbreaking discovery. Be happy."

Everyone who passed by Zheng Li patted him on the shoulder and said.

After Zheng Liying finished talking, he came to Higgs' office and asked, "Professor, what can I do for you?"

Higgs smiled and said, “Come and sit down, this is your world now.

The design of this experiment is very beautiful. You should know the existence of the magic brain, right? "

Zheng Li nodded and said, "I know."

Higgs touched his hairless head and said, “That’s right.

Magic has been in this world for so many years, and the media have already popularized it as clearly as possible.

Of course there have been new forms of magic in London lately.”

Zheng Li pretended to be surprised. London had not yet announced the news.

He needed to pretend to know it for the first time at this moment.

Higgs nodded and said, "Yes, you should get specific news soon.

It's not convenient for me to reveal too much to you now.

The reason I called you here today is mainly to tell you that you are a genius and have a keen sense of smell in the field of theoretical physics that others do not have.

You have perseverance, patience, talent and hard work, all of which you possess, so when I retire completely, I will pass on the position of Deputy Director of CERN to you.

There is also a magic brain. The magic brain corresponding to each magic coin will be released after the person who uses the magic brain dies.

I know that I don't have much time left. Even after taking the life-extending potion, I can clearly feel the passage of life and the footsteps of death. "

Zheng Li: "Professor, thank you very much for your recognition and trust in me. No problem, is there anything I can do after you die?"

Higgs was a little surprised by Zheng Li's polite yet impolite words: "You are really impolite.

There is nothing you need to do, but if my descendants want to do scientific research in the future, please help me take care of them if you have the capacity.

If not, that’s okay.

You were chosen because of your ability and not because of anything else."

None of Higgs's two sons and two grandsons are engaged in theoretical physics research.

At his age, to be honest, he doesn't really care about his offspring.

A hundred years after a person passes away, unless he or she is a celebrity, his or her descendants will hardly mention that they had this ancestor.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Okay.

If any of your descendants do research in the field of physics, I will personally guide him. If he does other theoretical subjects, I will also try my best to help him. "

Higgs: “Haha, then I can leave this world without any regrets.

Before leaving this world, you can still see us prove the existence of higher-dimensional space.

Although this achievement was not made by me, at least it was achieved under my leadership.

I have no regrets in my life."

When people get this old, they usually have a very calm attitude towards life and death.

Especially since Higgs experienced World War II and had to relocate due to the war, what kind of storms and waves has he not seen?
But he didn't expect that he would be able to witness the emergence of magic at the end of his life and become a wizard himself. He was satisfied with such a wonderful life.

“I also need to tell you that mages are actually no different from ordinary people.

You don't have to have too high expectations. The biggest advantage is that sometimes when you want to drink some hot coffee, you can do it yourself.

No need to soak in water specially.

My favorite thing to use is this magic trick, mixing cold water and coffee together and then heating it up.

Another thing is that when reading, you can lie on the sofa, place your hands in the way that is most comfortable for you, and let the book hang in the air and turn the pages automatically.

As for the combat magic, teleportation and the like that young people like to fantasize about, we have not yet seen any hope of these magics being realized.

Maybe you will develop corresponding magic in the future.

What I just said was the biggest benefit of magic. Next, I will tell you the biggest benefit of magic brain, which is that it can make your thinking sharper.

Everyone who does scientific research knows that reading a paper is as important as writing it. In fact, I personally think it is more important than writing it.

Because only when you see enough and understand how others do their work can you connect them together and your thinking will be of higher quality.

That's also a talent, the ability to connect things together.

The magic brain will enhance human capabilities in this area.

In short, the benefits of the magic brain to scientific research are more than a little bit.

I am almost a hundred years old and can still keep up with your thinking pace, thanks to my magic brain."

After Higgs finished talking a lot, he raised the cup full of coffee in his hand.

Steam began to rise from the calm surface of the coffee in his hand, and then Higgs took a sip and said, "Forgive me for being so nagging at my age."

The description of Poincare in the Blue Star Thousand Degree Encyclopedia is as follows: "He is recognized as the leading mathematician in the second quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the th century, and is the last person to have a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics and its applications."

In fact, a true master will definitely not only understand the sub-field he studies.

In other words, a mathematician who only understands his own field cannot become a master.

(This is not what I said, this is the view of Paul Seidel, a master in the field of symplectic geometry, and I personally agree with it.)
“We are aware of some strange rumors circulating in the market recently.

Like the frequent random killings recently, the manner of death of the victims is very consistent.

As much as we don’t want to believe this is happening in London, it’s true.”

A press conference is being held at 10 Downing Street in London.

London and the European Union behind it finally couldn't hold on.

The unusual situation in London must be made public to all citizens.

London is becoming increasingly chaotic.

During this period, random murders occurred in London, and all the victims died due to interruption of blood supply to the heart.

There have been double-digit cases of this kind.

According to an investigation in London, this was all caused by magic.

And because the deaths were particularly random, the places of death were spread all over London, from slums to wealthy areas.

London has been keeping this incident secret from the outside world.

But it could never be concealed, and it became a unique urban legend in London, and was reported by some London tabloids.

This is causing capital and the wealthy to flee London.

These people are the most sensitive.

For various reasons, London was the favorite immigration destination for wealthy people in many countries.

For example, the most common destination for wealthy Russians after leaving Russia is London.

And now, these wealthy "migrants" are fleeing.

Fortunately, England is now using the euro, otherwise we would see the pound plummet.

This was too much for England to bear. You know, if England did not have the financial industry, they would become similar to Italy.

It can’t be called the PIIGS, but it’s not much better either.

Not to mention competing with Germany and France for control of the European Union.

In fact, there is a strong voice within the Europa League saying that there is no rush to announce it, as things will only become more chaotic after the announcement.

London firmly disagrees. If it doesn't make the announcement and keep the matter under control, it will only become more and more troublesome in the future.

Are you waiting for Boris to be inexplicably assassinated by magic?
You don't even need a gun, just point a stick, which lowers the threshold again.

In the past, you might have needed to master certain mechanical and electronic knowledge, but now you only need to be able to hand-carve wood and aim roughly.

So there will be this press conference.

Number 10 Downing Street brings together almost all the media in England, as well as a large number of media around the world.

“London is becoming more and more special for some special reasons.

London is currently the only place in the world where ordinary people can cast spells.

Like the water element at the previous Kechuang Biotechnology Conference, it was actually summoned by ordinary people.”

At this point, Boris demonstrated his water element control technique on the spot.

The water in the mineral water bottle in front of him automatically ran out, then ran forward on the table of the podium, jumped off the podium, and landed in front of the reporters.

It turned into a puddle of water on the ground again.

The reporters' mouths were wide open, and they stood there motionless.

They knew something big was going to happen, but no one expected it to be this.

The stagnation lasted for a few seconds.

The photographers all started shooting with their guns and cannons.

The sound of the camera brought the reporters back to the real world.

The scene was extremely noisy, and everyone was talking frantically to relieve their inner shock, excitement and excitement.

This is big news, enough to cover different news in the past month.

Moreover, all ordinary people can use magic, which is much lower than the magic threshold of the magic brain.

"Everyone please be quiet and listen to me.

Yes, that's right, even an ordinary person like me can use magic.

Moreover, magic is only effective in London. Once you leave London, you cannot use the magic you have learned no matter what.

Including the recent random killings, which are also related to this.

Therefore, London will be temporarily closed for two months. Everyone can leave London, but people outside are not allowed to enter London without permission.

We are here to appeal to all Londoners: if you have learned magic, please be sure to record it on your mobile phone.

We will put the registered app on the shelves later, and everyone can download it directly from the app store.

At the same time, we have specially arranged magic teaching in this app, providing free learning services to every Londoner who wants to learn magic."
