Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 216 It is already real physics!
"How can scientific theories set national boundaries?!"

Tan Zhiming felt incredible and at the same time extremely dissatisfied.

Scientific theories, of course, cannot set national boundaries!
In science, what is true is true, and what is false is false. The universe has the same physical laws. In this materialistic world, how can we differentiate theories based on national boundaries?
The whole world recognizes Michael Joel's "Chaos Field Theory", and major physics institutions and scientific research institutes have also taken actions to support the research of the theory.

Scholars are keen on related research and have published papers in major physics journals.

Against this background, the country's science-related departments drew a national line and announced that they would only support Zhang Shuo's research in related theoretical directions.

"What a regression of times!"

Tan Zhiming roared, "This is forcing us to accept Zhang Shuo's theory, but how is it possible?" He then added a classic saying, "The system can control actions and mouths, but it cannot control thoughts!"

He seemed to have become a warrior fighting bravely.

"Be careful what you say!"

Zhao Chunhua shook his head and said, "Academician Tan, you should calm down. I don't know the specific situation, but I think it's definitely not for no reason."

"What else could it be? Isn't it obvious?" Tan Zhiming said angrily, "Now the Theoretical Society has been given a national boundary. Zhang Shuo is a national genius and an honor. He won the Fields Medal and is the best mathematician in the country. His physics research supported the discovery of the chaos field, making him the best physicist in the country."

"Of course his theory will be supported!"

Although he said this, there was obviously a lot of sarcasm in his tone.

Wu Jianning pulled the angry Tan Zhiming to sit down and asked, "What exactly happened? What did Academician Zhu Peng say?"

In fact, it was not just Tan Zhiming who didn't understand. Everyone present didn't understand. It was the first time they heard that scientific research only supported someone's theory.

Some people even thought of a saying: abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone.

For physical theories to flourish, there must be more results. Why should we only support one person's theory?

Zhao Chunhua said, "Your understanding is a bit extreme. I have never said that I only support Professor Zhang Shuo's research. What I meant is that it may be easier to get funding if you apply for the direction of Professor Zhang Shuo's theory."

"When I say I don't support it, it doesn't mean I don't support everything. I just don't agree with Mike Yoel's research direction, which is to use string theory to explain the chaotic force field."

Tan Zhiming stood up again angrily, "Now Mike Yoel's research is the main direction!"

Wu Jianning also frowned and continued to look at Zhao Chunhua.

Their understanding is indeed a bit extreme, but the result is actually the same, because Mike Yoel's theory has a very large influence. Important institutions such as the Organization for Nuclear Research and Fermilab have recognized his research and are prepared to use it to find experimental directions.

The Institute of High Energy Physics is also preparing to use Mike Yoel's theoretical direction as a guide to expand theoretical and experimental work.

The Department of Science and Technology, the Science Foundation, and, most importantly for them, the Academy of Sciences, all did not recognize Michael Joel's research, which meant that related projects could not be applied for, experiments could not be approved, and even theoretical results could not be recognized.

These impacts are too great.

For example, in the Theoretical Physics Research Office, scholars led by Yan Ming are conducting theoretical research in the direction of Michael Yoel.

The Cp group is preparing to cooperate with the Artur Castell team of the Nuclear Organization, which is the CP team of Francisco, the former head. Their experimental equipment can produce large quantities of Cauchy hyperons, which can make the phenomenon clearer, the data more accurate, and more credible.

The two CP groups will conduct technical cooperation and share research data, and we believe that there will be breakthroughs in new directions.

In addition, some researchers at the Center for Physics are considering linking chaotic field theory with experiments, hoping to accumulate some basic data.

and many more.

These studies and plans have to be suspended, and the impact is multifaceted.

Zhao Chunhua shook his head. "I still say the same thing. If you have any questions, ask Zhu Peng. This is all I can do."

He is not from the Academy of Sciences, he is just responsible for the liaison there.

To put it bluntly, it's just a mouthpiece.

Whether others accept it or not, this is the current situation. What can we do about it?

……

Zhao Chunhua could not give a clear explanation, so Wu Jianning and Tan Zhiming used their connections to find out the details, and the result they got was the same as what Zhao Chunhua said.

All scientific and technological support departments recognized Zhang Shuo's research theory, while denying Mike Yoel's theory and even directly denying this direction.

The only useful information they got was, “This decision came from higher-ups.”

This is also normal.

If it weren't for the decision made by higher-level leaders, the Academy of Sciences, the Department of Science and Technology, and the Science Foundation would not have been able to make the same decision together.

At this point, the Institute of High Energy Physics is temporarily out of options.

However, the impact of this matter is not limited to the Institute of High Energy Physics. For example, the Science Foundation supports a large number of projects every year, including a lot of theoretical research in physics projects.

The three major scientific and technological support departments made the same decision, which meant that the results of Mike Yoel's research were not recognized at all in the country.

The provincial science and technology support departments and major universities will naturally follow suit and will not support related research.

This results in all relevant theoretical research being unable to apply for any project, even the lowest level of school support projects.

The discovery of the chaos field had a huge impact. The Science Foundation added a lot of new funding related to theoretical physics. Some scholars' research applications in the same direction as Michael Yoel's were directly rejected as soon as they were submitted.

In other words, all project applications were rejected.

It is very normal if only one or two applications are rejected, but it is very unusual if all related research projects are rejected.

Many scholars are discussing, "The project I applied for was rejected, and there was no reason given, it was just a direct rejection."

"Me too."

"Why don't you approve it? Why?"

"It is said that Michael Yoel's research direction is not recognized by the higher authorities. If you apply for Professor Zhang Shuo's theoretical direction, that is, the research on basic force relations, it will be easier to pass."

"Didn't you notice? Among the projects just announced by the Science and Technology Department, there are actually two theoretical physics support studies, both related to energy field equations!"

"All that was rejected were the mathematical analysis of string theory in the direction of chaotic force fields, which is the direction of Michael Yoel..."

"I see."

"The Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences has already notified us that it will not support this direction."

"Why? Does theory still need to set boundaries?"

This matter has made it to the media.

There is a self-media blogger with great influence on the Internet who published an article titled "Scientific theories should not set national boundaries!" In which he elaborated on the matter and called for not setting national boundaries for scientific theories.

"We will certainly support Professor Zhang Shuo's theoretical direction, but we cannot deny other directions either."

"Mike Yole's Chaos Field Theory has been widely recognized by scholars at home and abroad. Many foreign institutions are ready to conduct research in this direction, but we directly rejected it, refused to support it, and failed to approve the project application, so theoretical and experimental research could not be carried out."

"If we continue like this, we will fall behind others in related fields."

"Scientific theories should not be divided by national boundaries!" After this article was published, it caused a lot of discussion, and many neutral people also agreed with the content of the article.

How can scientific theories have national boundaries?
It is understandable that science and technology and scientists have national boundaries, but what about scientific theories?
This is beyond comprehension.

However, when the matter involves Zhang Shuo, many people will support the higher authorities' approach, saying, "This is how it should be. We should develop our own theory."

"What Mike Joel? They are all foreigners! They are just scientific theories. Why don't you trust your own people? Is Zhang Shuo's level worse than Mike Joel's?"

"It can't be proven anyway, so what if I just support Master Zhang Shuo?"

"Foreigners are all scammers..."

In the eyes of many people in the academic circle, the relevant remarks are just brainless comments from fans.

Then some people stood up to criticize Zhang Shuo's fans for "fan culture", involving the academic circle but without logic, and Zhang Shuo should stand up to guide his fans.

and many more.

Online public opinion was in chaos.

Against this backdrop of public opinion, mainstream media are reporting on Zhang Shuo's theory.

The First Media released a science program specifically about Zhang Shuo's theory, called "Source Point Theory", which includes the energy force field specification theory, the basic force relationship model, and the expanded theoretical relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity, etc.

The program introduces to the audience what the energy force field gauge theory is, what kind of theory the basic force relationship model is, and so on.

There is also an expanded introduction later, "The Source Point Theory studies the relationship between basic forces."

"The Origin Point Theory believes that the four great powers have the same origin, and uses the relationship between the four great powers to connect matter and energy, establishing a complete theory."

"If we continue to study this theory, it may explain many causes and unresolved problems, such as the internal mechanism of black holes, what dark matter is, and those inexplicable strange phenomena found in the universe..."

"and many more."

This program is very well done, but because Zhang Shuo does not appear directly on the screen and there is only a lot of complicated introductory content, the ratings are very poor.

The column has little impact on public opinion, and the only influence is the statement of the first media.

They expressed their support for Zhang Shuo in the form of a column.

……

Against the backdrop of heated public debate, Tan Zhiming also felt very angry. In the past month, he has done a lot of work, each of which is related to Mike Yol's research direction.

Tan Zhiming hoped to return and contribute his remaining energy to an important scientific research position, but the decision of the superior scientific and technological support department made all his efforts meaningless.

It really proves the saying - die before accomplishing the mission!

He communicated with many scholars in the field of physics, all of whom talked about matters related to the decisions made by their superiors.

A sense of mission emerged in his heart.

The superior scientific research support department made such a wrong decision, and he must work hard to change the situation.

Academicians, the top domestic scholars, must also have this spirit of not fearing difficulties and having the courage to correct wrong directions.

After much deliberation, Tan Zhiming organized a dozen influential professors and academicians in the field of physics to call on the scientific and technological knowledge departments not to set boundaries for theoretical research in physics.

They didn't just call and appeal, but they found the National Science Foundation together.

Of course, the Science Foundation cannot give a clear explanation. They are just doing things according to the requirements of their superiors.

Some people in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, especially the responsible academicians, also understand their ideas and practices, but understanding alone is useless. If they cannot give a clear explanation, these professors and academicians will naturally not be satisfied.

This group of people went directly to the Science and Technology Department.

Faced with a large group of academicians and professors, the staff of the Science and Technology Department could only give them a warm welcome.

Although those who came were just scholars, their level had reached academician, which was a very high rank. When a large group of people gathered together, their influence was still huge.

They kept saying in the hall, "The internationally recognized theory is Michael Yole's Chaos Field Theory, the main direction is the particle standard model, and the most recognized theory is string theory."

"Zhang Shuo's Origin Theory is also very interesting, but it is just a theory and has not been widely recognized. It does not have much influence internationally."

"Chaotic Field Theory has been affirmed by Edward Witten, and most importantly, scientific theories should not set national boundaries."

"The Nuclear Organization is planning to conduct research in this direction..."

"Many top physics institutions in other developed countries are ready to support related research on a large scale. Only with enough support can there be enough results."

"Look at those international physics journals and see how many foreign scholars have published relevant theoretical results. We must not fall behind in this regard. The chaotic force field is something we have discovered now!"

"This is a historical mistake. Hasn't history taught us a lesson? Our ancestors invented gunpowder, but foreign countries made guns and artillery shells..."

If you just listen to what they say, each one makes more sense than the last.

Ordinary staff, and even some department heads, have no idea why they do not approve of Mike Yol's "The Force of Chaos".

They couldn't give a clear explanation.

A large group of professors and academicians stayed in the Science and Technology Department for several hours, and finally alarmed Mr. Zhu from the department.

With such a large group of scholars, Teacher Zhu had to be cautious. As soon as he entered the hall, he was surrounded.

Tan Zhiming was at the forefront with high morale. "Teacher Zhu, you should know the situation. We are not here to cause trouble, we just want to seek an explanation!"

"How can scientific theories set national boundaries?!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his voice was menacing.

Teacher Zhu frowned and glanced at Tan Zhiming, then pursed his lips and asked, "When did we set national boundaries for scientific theories?"

When others were about to speak, he waved his hand to interrupt them and continued, "We just don't agree with Mike Yoel's theory, the so-called Chaos Field Theory and related research."

"In fact, the reason is very simple, because his theory conflicts with Professor Zhang Shuo's theory of origin."

“Wouldn’t it be a waste of funds to support the wrong direction?”

Tan Zhiming immediately asked back, "How is it wrong? Is it wrong just because it conflicts with the Origin Point Theory?!"

Teacher Zhu nodded vigorously and said, "Some things have not been announced yet, but since you want an explanation, I will tell you first."

"Professor Zhang Shuo's theory that there is a connection between the fundamental forces described in the Source Point Theory has been confirmed to a certain extent in experiments."

“So, the Origin Point Theory is no longer just a physical theory, but a real physics.”

“What’s the point of supporting a direction that conflicts with existing physics?”

The academicians and professors present looked at each other, all shocked by the news...

Shocked and confused!
