Chapter 405 Professor Friedman
Chapter 405 Professor Friedman
Same thing with looking for Professor Artin's office.
Chen Zhou felt that he didn't need to go through the freshman handbook just now.
Along the way, enthusiastic students from MIT either wanted to show the way, or took Chen Zhou to Professor Friedman's office.
Of course, after Chen Zhou got the accurate guidance, he politely refused.
But what he didn't expect was that Professor Friedman seemed to be more famous than other professors.
When Chen Zhou walked into the chassis of the MIT Physics Department.
He heard many people talking about Professor Friedman.
It's just that the content of the discussion is about him.
"I heard that Professor Friedman has admitted a new graduate student?"
"It seems to be. It is said that the man is also a student of the mathematics department."
"Don't look like it, it's a student of the Department of Mathematics. Remember last year's academic conference on mathematics?"
"You mean the Huaguo student who directly proved Kramer's conjecture in the auditorium?"
"It's him, Professor Friedman's new student, that is my Huaguo student."
"Gah, let me just say, why did Professor Friedman suddenly bring in a graduate student again? It turned out to be this great god..."
"He seemed to prove Jebov's conjecture later on, so it's nothing. Anyway, mathematics serves physics. If you are a student from another department, you may not dare to work under Professor Friedman."
"Yes, it's barely acceptable. Under the throne of physics, probably only mathematics can make us agree a little..."
Hearing such words, Chen Zhou couldn't help but be filled with question marks.
What does this all mean?
According to them, is it because they are studying mathematics that they are qualified to study physics?
Is this the discipline contempt chain?
Does physics stand at the top of the chain of disdain for disciplines?
But shouldn't it be mathematics that stands at the top?
Chen Zhou knew that there was a chain of contempt among disciplines in universities, especially in such awesome universities.
However, I didn't expect to be bumped into by myself.
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhou shook off the doubts in his mind.
He is now only worried about his mentor, Professor Friedman, not someone who has a disdainful view of the subject.
Arriving at the door of Professor Friedman's office, Chen Zhou glanced at his watch. The time was just right and within the agreed time.
Immediately, he knocked lightly on the office door.
With a sound of "please come in", Chen Zhou pushed open the door and walked in.
The purpose is that piles of thick paper are not neatly stacked together.
Behind those papers were two young faces.
They were looking up at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou greeted politely: "Hi brothers, is Professor Friedman here?"
Hearing Chen Zhou's voice, the two realized the identity of the visitor.
One of the tall men smiled and got up and said to Chen Zhou, "Professor Friedman is inside."
Chen Zhou subconsciously looked inside, but saw no one.
His vision was completely blocked by piles of papers.
Noticing Chen Zhou's actions, the man explained with a little embarrassment: "The professor likes to keep all the materials, so that's why it happened."
Chen Zhou nodded, expressing his understanding.
Although he did not expect such a scene, he was not surprised.
Because when he was studying mathematical conjectures, the draft paper was also piled up all over the floor.
The person said again: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ennis Matheson, and I am a doctoral student under the supervision of Professor Friedman."
As he spoke, Matheson pointed to another person and said, "His name is Gleb Coyle, and he is also a doctoral student under Professor Friedman. However, he is a year younger than me."
Coyle also got up at this time, smiled and said to Chen Zhou: "Welcome, our little brother, Professor Friedman is waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou also said, "Thank you, it's a pleasure meeting you, Senior Brother Mai Xisen and Senior Brother Coyle."
Matheson patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder: "You're welcome."
After speaking, he made way for Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou glanced at him and walked in.
In the deepest part of the office, there is a desk.
On the desk, there is only paper and pen.
None of the modern office supplies.
Behind the desk was an old man with white hair.
The old man was concentrating on holding a pen and performing calculations on the draft paper.
The old man only had the paper and pen in front of his eyes, so Chen Zhou didn't even notice when he walked beside him.
Chen Zhou looked at the serious look of the old man, and a trace of respect rose in his heart.
In any case, whether it is mathematics or physics, it is a bowl of rice for young people.
When you are young, you are quick thinking and energetic.
But as we grow older, our thinking gradually slows down, and our energy can't keep up.
It is really admirable that an old man like Professor Friedman, who is almost 90 years old, can still concentrate so much on research.
Chen Zhou probably also understood why Professor Friedman was not disturbed by the conversation with Matheson and Coyle just now.
Chen Zhou glanced at what Professor Friedman wrote, then quietly stepped aside and waited silently.
He didn't intend to interrupt Friedman's train of thought aloud.
Perhaps, this is a rare immersion time.
Chen Zhou himself hates others to interrupt his train of thought, so he understands that this kind of immersion is rare.
The reason why Chen Zhou chose Professor Friedman was different from the reason why he chose Professor Artin.
Professor Friedman is a master in the field of nuclear physics.
He studied under the father of atomic energy, Enrique Fermi.
Fermi is well known as a great physicist.
Fermions, the 100th chemical element fermium, the Fermilab in the United States, and the Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago are all named in memory of him.
This is a physicist who has first-rate achievements in theory and experiment.
Even among the star-studded modern physicists, it is one of the few.
And as a student of such a big boss, Professor Friedman is naturally very awesome.
In 1990, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "research on deep inelastic scattering of nucleons".
And this research started at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, also known as SLAC.
Then in 1967, a large electron linear accelerator was built and reached the design energy.
Friedman began a series of electron-proton scattering experiments.
These include electron-proton elastic scattering experiments, positron-proton elastic scattering experiments, and electron-proton inelastic scattering experiments.
Of course, the results of these experiments only confirmed the existing conclusions.
But when the incident electron energy is further increased, it enters the deep inelastic scattering region that has never been explored.
At first, after obtaining the experimental results, Friedman and his collaborators thought that the experimental results were incorrect, or that the interpretation was wrong, or that it was a systematic error.
But with a large number of experimental results, as well as the comparison and correction between experiments.
They found that when electrons go deep into the interior of protons with great energy.
What is encountered is not a "soft" proton target, but a point-like "hard" nucleus similar to an electron.
At that time, experimental physicists could not understand, let alone explain.
Then came a lot of work, and even used the abstract mathematical method of flow algebra.
Finally, significant evidence for some submodels was found from deep inelastic scattering experiments and scale-independence.
It soon became clear that partons and quarks were the same thing.
In this field of research, Friedman has never stopped.
Moreover, before the discontinuation of the US Super Collider, he was responsible for designing the detectors that go with it.
Beyond that, Friedman made two very simple assumptions about the universe.
Although Friedman found only one model, there are actually three models that satisfy his two basic assumptions.
The first of these models was found by Friedman himself.
It can be said that this is a physicist who, like his teacher Fermi, has made achievements in theory and experiment.
