Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 1079 - 421: The Season of Harvest_2

It can even be said that throughout July, both the world of mathematics and physics were in an uproar over Q Theory.

One side believes that Q Theory is indeed the most effective method currently closest to completely solving the grand unified problem; the other side contends that Q Theory as proposed by Qiao Ze has serious flaws and is fundamentally incapable of solving the grand unified problem.

Moreover, both sides have heavyweight supporters.

The proponents don’t need much introduction.

With Qiao Ze, Peter Schultz, and Edward Witten on this side, it’s already a formidable lineup, not to mention several other senior figures in the fields of mathematics and physics who also lean towards supporting Q Theory.

As for the opposition, it is mainly composed of numerous Nobel Prize winners in physics.

The extent of the impact was indeed beyond Qiao Ze’s expectations. He also scrutinized the points of contention raised by the other side.

The biggest point of controversy is still that Q Theory has completely discarded the concept of time, replacing many parameters that are only meaningful with time through the rate of change in space. Additionally, many derivations involve concepts of discrete geometry and discontinuous physics, challenging traditional physics on multiple levels.

For example, space is discrete, similar to lattice or network structures, rather than continuous manifolds. This is indeed a revolutionary theory against the current understanding of physics, involving a series of verified concepts that need to be redefined.

Or take the example of discrete gravitational fields...

In the concluding part of the paper, Qiao Ze also put forward many new predictions, such as deriving the relationship between black hole entropy and its surface area through discrete geometry, based on discrete quantum gravity. He also re-predicted the influence of discrete space structures on the microwave background radiation in the early universe.

Most importantly, Qiao Ze described the quantum fluctuations of space on small scales and their impact on macro-physical phenomena in the paper.

For instance, the propagation characteristics of gravitational waves are influenced by quantum fluctuations, which lead to the detected gravitational wave signals having some quantum features. Also, it’s because of quantum fluctuations that there is density inhomogeneity during the cosmic expansion process, even directly affecting the expansion rate.

This is also the most contentious part.

The widespread controversy is also due to Qiao Ze’s meticulous and careful approach in writing this paper, seemingly attempting to clarify the entire mathematical proof process to the greatest degree.

But it actually has little to do with Qiao Ze himself; the credit must go to Dou Dou, or more precisely, to XiDou.

Thanks to its integration with XiDou, Dou Dou acquired a series of academic mentorship abilities and, over an extended period, took on many tasks of providing reading guidance for mathematicians’ papers, allowing its database to deeply analyze the parts of mathematical interwoven complexities that are most difficult for general mathematicians and physicists to understand.

And it specifically expanded Qiao Ze’s paper with very detailed elaborations.

To put it this way, the original draft completed by Qiao Ze was actually only 167 pages in the Chinese version, but after Dou Dou expanded it, the paper reached 961 pages.

Yes, there’s no mistake; it’s over nine hundred pages.

Dou Dou expanded Qiao Ze’s original paper nearly six times. When printed, it’s a thick stack, requiring binding into several large volumes.

Put it this way...

Qiao Ze’s paper on the complete solution of Goldbach’s conjecture is only a quarter of this length. His doctoral dissertation is just over a hundred pages.

However, after the controversy arose, the busiest ones were not Qiao Ze but Edward Witten and Peter Schultz.

Throughout July, the days they spent at the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute were few, mostly traveling worldwide, attending various academic conferences and forums. The eighth floor of the institute became much quieter with the absence of their arguments.

This fact made Su Mucheng feel quite regretful.

Yes, after completing her postpartum period, Su had long grown tired of staying at home, returning to a life of reporting daily to the Mathematics Research Institute with Qiao Ze. freēwēbnovel.com

She knew from previous accounts by Qiao Ze about the internal affairs of the institute, naturally aware of Edward Witten and Peter Schultz’s daily disputes. Just as she returned to normal life, the two big shots did not appear at the institute, which was indeed quite a pity.

But this was actually good news for Qiao Ze.

He received even more invitations, both domestic and international, all of which were directly declined. Qiao Ze knew this was not ideal since a new theory needs him to explain, demonstrate, and gain wider acceptance to flourish, and only then can more people be attracted to research Q Theory.

But Qiao Ze truly didn’t want to travel around.

Let’s put it this way, even before Qiao Ze had children, he was reluctant to waste time on traveling and flying around, let alone now that he has children.

Saving that time to spend more with his two kids, witnessing their daily growth and various moments, seemed far more interesting than lecturing about Q Theory around the world.

With Edward Witten and Peter Schultz, two heavyweight figures, it’s different.

Although everyone knows Q Theory is named after the first letter of Qiao Ze’s surname, which says a lot, the standing of these two in the fields of mathematics and physics speaks for itself. They are already working at the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, so their understanding of Q Theory is naturally beyond question.

The conferences and forums they hold in various places to endorse Q Theory still have a similar effect.

Thus, as it reached August, the heat of Xilin’s hottest month, the global discussion on Q Theory took another step up.

Let’s put it this way, anyone involved in theoretical work, whether in mathematics or physics, was engaged in relentless debate.

Temporarily, highly specialized journals lacked targeted papers, but comprehensive scientific top journals like "Nature" and "Science" became the liveliest battlegrounds for the debate. Supporters and detractors each presented their arguments and evidence.

But for Qiao Ze, the most gratifying thing was the growing trend of scientists wanting to come or work with the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute. Among them, there were even winners of various notable awards from the East and West in recent years.

These include the Fields Medal, Nobel Prize, Wolff Prize, Dirac Medal, among others.

However, the current Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is not a place where anyone can easily come.

First, candidates must go through layers of review. Those who meet the qualifications will receive feedback from Qiao Ze. Some well-known academics, despite their fame, cannot directly join the institute due to various reasons, but they are given some very appropriate suggestions.

For instance, even if they can’t work at Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, a professorship at Xilin University of Technology can still be offered...

Indeed, as the influence of Q Theory grows, and with the full endorsement from Edward Witten and Peter Schultz, the attraction of the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is increasing day by day.

Although Qiao Ze’s ability has long been recognized, he is quite reserved, studying things that the majority don’t understand and disdainful of communicating with other scholars. So, while Xilin Mathematics Research Institute has fame, its actual appeal to many scholars remains uncertain.

Even Edward Witten and Peter Schultz themselves only came to Huaxia after Qiao Ze proactively introduced some specific research results through Dou Dou and was willing to communicate with them, only deciding to come after repeated deliberations.

Other people naturally would not easily make such a decision.

But now the situation is obviously different.

This probably fully demonstrates that communication within the academic community is still essential. Like Qiao Ze, working in isolation can still yield significant results, but overcoming bottlenecks remains too difficult.

Edward Witten, though he enjoys participating in various conferences and seems to waste too much time, finds great benefits in such frequent communication.

At least in terms of influence, he outshines Qiao Ze by far.

These are just the achievements of the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute.

Concerning Xilin University of Technology, there’s even more to say.

In just one year, it has solidified its reputation as a super university in Huaxia. Whether it’s recruiting competition students or setting admission scores, it has completely leveled with Huaqing and Yanbei, with some specialized strengths even surpassing these universities.

The collegiate competition, once dominated by two super universities, has now evolved into a tripartite structure. Yet, the exaggeration lies in the graduate sector...
