Chapter 408 Squeeze is always there (33)
In many places at MIT, there are places to eat.
Like the first and second floors of the student center, there are various fast food restaurants.
In Kendall Square, there is also a food street offering Chinese and Western fast food.
At the junction of Main Street and Vassar Street, there is also a building that says "Whitehead".
Every day at noon, a Western-style lunch is served on the first floor of the building.
In addition, in the main building, the National Center, etc., there are some cafes that also provide breakfast and lunch.
These are the places where MIT students often go.
And most of them can register "TechCash" and pay with MIT ID.
Most importantly, you can save 5% tax.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi naturally went to the student center and chose Chinese fast food.
Although the taste is not quite right, it is barely acceptable.
Before getting used to the food here, even Yang Yiyi, a foodie, didn't choose some novel food.
First of all, you have to be responsible for your stomach.
In order to better taste the food.
These are Yang Yiyi's words.
Regarding this, Chen Zhou can only sigh with emotion, it turns out that this is a fake foodie...
During the meal, Chen Zhou also knew about Yang Yiyi's situation.
When Rainer Weiss made preliminary arrangements for Yang Yiyi, he read the information first, and waited for him to return from Xiangjiang.
I will take Yang Yiyi to LIGO to participate in specific experimental subjects.
This Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of Huaguo.
About half a month later, on September 9, the 27 Shaw Awards Ceremony will be held in Xiangjiang.
And Professor Rainer Weiss is going to accept the award.
With the first observation of gravitational waves, Rainer Weiss will inevitably experience a climax of receiving awards.
Among them, the most anticipated is the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Although most people have decided that Rainer Weiss will win the award.
But who knows, will the Nobel Prize selection committee suddenly have a convulsion?
Even if this probability is small, it is not impossible.
After all, there are too many people waiting in line.
Earlier, in 2006, Dr. John Mather and Professor George Smoot shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for measuring the microwave spectrum and detecting such fluctuations, respectively.
Some physicists believe that Rainer Weiss should share this honor.
Because Rainer Weiss is in charge of NASA in the measurement of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Both this measurement and the detection of tiny traces of quantum fluctuations that arise in the nascent universe and are crucial to the Standard Model of cosmology.
All with a contribution from Rainer Weiss.
Perhaps as Mather, who works at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, puts it, Rainer Weiss is good at deciding who should do what and making sure that person gets the credit he deserves.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Zhou supported Yang Yiyi in choosing Rainer Weiss as his mentor.
This old professor, who is diligent in his job, does have a strong personal charm.
After eating, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi went straight back to the dormitory.
Yang Yiyi naturally went back to her dormitory to tidy up, and took the materials to Chen Zhou's dormitory.
For two people who are used to supervising and learning from each other.
This way of learning is more suitable for them.
Although time is tight, Chen Zhou is in such an empty room.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi checked the furniture transfer list in Edgerton first.
The two plan to purchase some simple furniture.
Chen Zhou didn't have too many requirements when choosing furniture, and mainly focused on practicality.
As for old age, it doesn't matter.
But Yang Yiyi played a girl's nature, at least she had to look good.
It didn't take long for the two of them to choose the furniture.
After agreeing on the payment method and the handling method.
The two leaned together to the window, each looking at the information they had brought back from their mentor.
Chen Zhou mainly relied on the information given by Friedman, while the information given by Arting was slightly delayed by him.
Of course, the information given by Professor Friedman here is about experiments.
In the field of high-energy physics, the big theoretical problems, after all, cannot be avoided.
Supersymmetry, Standard Model, Grand Unified Theory, String Theory, etc.
But physics is an experiment-based science, and experimental physics and theoretical physics coexist.
Just like Edward Witten, who won the Fields Medal for his outstanding mathematical ability, and is also an excellent physicist.
His main research achievement in the field of physics is M theory.
M theory is a theory of supergravity that combines five superstring theories and eleven-dimensional space.
Although this is very creative, it makes quantum mechanics and general relativity compatible in a new theoretical framework.
However, no matter how fruitful M theory is.
Before the experimental verification is obtained, the true face of M theory is truly unraveled.
Edward Witten's M-theory is still just a theory.
Maybe one day, after the experiments verify it.
The physicist who won the Fields Medal will also be the mathematician who won the Physics Prize.
But at this time, I don't know how much it is.
Compared with the big theoretical problems, the main research hotspots and difficult problems in the field of high-energy physics are more reliable.
Like the "glue ball" that Friedman is going to look for in his next experiment.
and the ongoing experimental project at the SNO lab in Ontario, Canada, the measurement of neutrinos.
There is also proton decay, which has had a big impact on unified field theory.
Although there is no answer yet, and there is a long way to go, these are questions that are expected to be resolved.
Take Professor Friedman's experiment this time.
So far, Huaguo scientists have collected 13 billion J/ψ events by using the Yanjing Electron Positron Collider and Yanjing Spectrometer.
This is also the world's largest sample of J/ψ events.
The J/ψ meson is a kind of subatomic particle, belonging to mesons, composed of a charm quark and an anti-charm quark.
It is the first excited state among subatomic particles composed of charm and anti-charm quarks.
Yanjing's electron-positron collider has been in operation for more than 8 years after the upgrade.
By April 2016th of this year (4), it finally reached its final design brightness.
According to the plan at the beginning of the design, Huaguo will continue to obtain more data through collisions in the next few years.
Ultimately 100 billion J/ψ instances are to be obtained!
In this 100 billion data, there is a huge scientific wealth.
Among them, there is a high possibility that the secret of the "gum ball" is hidden.
The whole afternoon was spent in this kind of quiet time with infinite words.
Chen Zhou also once again experienced the joy of Physics Level 6.
Whether it is efficiency or thinking, he is very satisfied.
Looking at the time, Chen Zhou said to Yang Yiyi: "Let's go, Yiyi, let's go to the freshman ball."
Yang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhou in surprise: "You still have time to go to the Freshman Ball? I thought you were going to start having a blast day and night..."
Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Time is like a sponge, there will always be squeezes."
"Okay then..." Yang Yiyi stretched as she said.
This posture of sitting on the ground and reading a book is more tiring than ever.
Chen Zhou's gaze stayed on Yang Yiyi.
I have to say that this girl has a really good figure, almost perfect.
Among other things, Yang Yiyi doesn't need it at all if others need to squeeze it.
she is natural...
