His fondness for Ruan Wenye had increased significantly.
However, it’s not easy to find a top quantum physics expert to help. If Ruan Wenye is not capable enough, the other mbers of the team definitely won’t be either.
So, who to look for?
Zhao Yi really didn’t know many people here, let alone top quantum physics experts.
Person by person passed through his mind, should he go to Edmir?
He was on good terms with the guy, but he didn’t know about his character. His motto ’taking money without doing any work’ was sothing he took pleasure in reciting to everyone...
Forget it!
Edmir was indeed not suitable. Putting aside his capability, he worked at a collider research center, which was too far from the small town. It was not easy to make a trip there, requiring various applications to be made.
Recently, Edmir must’ve been very busy and definitely couldn’t spare any ti.
So, who to find?
Zhao Yi strolled down the town’s streets. The roadside was already covered with heavy snow, the world was blanketed in white. The cold environnt was actually quite an interesting experience.
Afar.
An old man was walking over, leading a dog. His walk was a bit comical, his entire body moving, except for the hand holding the leash. Even when the dog was pulling him, he would force himself to keep his hand still.
The scene looked rather strange.
When the old man got closer, Zhao Yi quickly recognized him, "Mr. Kibor?"
"Call Tom."
Kibor corrected Zhao Yi’s form of address as he approached.
"Tom..."
Zhao Yi squeezed the na out through gritted teeth, whenever he thought of Tom’s na, a cartoon always ca to mind--
"Tom and Jerry"?
An old cat leading a dog, it looked even stranger now.
Kibor noticed Zhao Yi consistently focused on his still hand and imdiately laughed, "You noticed it?"
"What?"
"As I thought, with the eye that can shape a waveform diagram, the perspective is definitely different from others."
Kibor earnestly said, "When I ca out, I told others that even though I’m leading Tyger, oh, his na is Tyger."
’His na sounds more human than yours.’
Zhao Yi thought, forcing a smirk.
Kibor continued, "Yes, I’m leading him, that’s what you see, that’s also what I see. But what the eye sees may not necessarily be the truth."
’So are you saying he’s leading you?’
Zhao Yi continued to retort in his mind.
Kibor said, "Now, the position where you and I are standing as well as where Tyger is, seems to be on the ground. But in actuality, we may not be in the sa space. Multidinsional space does not necessarily refer to the universe, it may also be present in our daily lives."
"The distance between Tyger and I is only one ter, that’s what our eyes see. Maybe our distance is ten ters, hundreds of ters, hundreds of kiloters, who knows? Because we might not exist in the sa space, it’s just because of so kind of thing that the space is connected, allowing us to be connected by a leash."
"My latest research is trying to prove this. That’s why I’ve been holding the leash unflinchingly, closely experiencing the feel of multidinsional space."
"..."
Zhao Yi stood there stunned for a good while, then nodded and counter-questioned, "You an, we’re not necessarily living in a three-dinsional space, but perhaps in a multidinsional space?"
Kibor carefully watched Zhao Yi, his mouth forming a tight-lipped nod. His eyes were practically saying ’the student shows promise.’
Zhao Yi took a deep breath.
Just now, he was thinking about asking Kibor to guide his research, but now he realizes his idea was a bit naive.
This old man was already done for.
There was a one in a billion chance that the old man’s idea was correct, but clearly he couldn’t keep up with his train of thought at the mont.
He simply gave the old man a path, just about to say, "Please!"
"Go ahead!"
Kibor stopped in his tracks, perhaps relishing the chance for conversation. He stared cautiously at Zhao Yi and asked, "What’s bothering you? I noticed you frowning earlier. It reminded of myself when I was young, constantly consud by my research."
Zhao Yi pressed his lips together, staying silent.
"Are you actually caught up in your research? But I recall you stating yesterday that you had finished your work." Kibor seed genuinely curious.
Zhao Yi begrudged that Kibor, no doubt due to his worldly experience, was capable of discerning his troubled thoughts towards his research. He admitted forthrightly, "I aim to design a program to search for the Higgs particle."
"Oh really? Care to elaborate?" Kibor beca interested.
Zhao Yi found it strange, "You claid it was impossible to find the Higgs particle when I asked you about it yesterday."
"Indeed, that’s what I said!"
"And now?"
"I still believe it’s impossible. I just want to observe how you plan to do it. Observing how others fail can be quite amusing." Kibor laughed heartily.
"..."
Zhao Yi found himself struggling to suppress the urge to throw a fit. If not for his extraordinary patience, he might have been dangerously irked by the old man before him. Nevertheless, he explained, "I hope to filter out photon pairs, which could potentially be the result of the decay of the Higgs particle. Then I will analyze the data. There might be evidence supporting the existence of the Higgs particle."
"That’s an interesting idea."
Kibor nodded, "Previously, the nuclear organization also analyzed overall data, particularly photon data, but they didn’t particularly analyze high-energy photon pairs, let alone filter them for analysis." He shook his head, obviously skeptical of Zhao Yi’s thod.
Essentially, there’s nothing extraordinary about Zhao Yi’s approach. Anyone could co up with it, but executing it is the challenge.
If all high-energy photon pairs were analyzed, the small number of Higgs particles would yield no significant results.
It’s all about perspective.
As it stands, the Higgs particle only exists in theoretical particle models, and its existence is still uncertain. Even if it did exist, theoretical testing would produce few particles if any, certainly not enough to be detectable.
That’s why nobody would invest significant efforts in an endeavor they believe has ’over a 99% chance of not yielding any results’.
Moreover, not everyone is skilled in the filtering thod.
Even though reducing the data increases the chance of detecting Higgs particles, it is still a significant challenge to reduce the dataset.
Zhao Yi doesn’t have these problems.
Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering is an algorithm designed by Zhao Yi. He is utterly convinced that the Higgs particle exists, and he knows its mass.
That’s why he ca up with this approach.
After comnting on Zhao Yi’s thodology, Kibor asked, "When you’ve figured out how to do it, what is there to worry about?"
What is there to worry about?
Of course, it’s worrying about not having the guidance of a quantum physics expert!
Zhao Yi shook his head and said candidly, "I am not deeply experienced in quantum physics research (I’ve never even touched it), and I am uncertain about how to design a filtering chanism."
"Well, I can help you with that!"
Kibor said spiritedly. There was a sparkle in his eyes as he spoke, "I happen to have so free ti, and I wanted to write an autobiography detailing how young, brilliant physicists wasted their ti and youth on research destined to fail."
"You’ll certainly be one of the main characters in my new book!"
"Especially given your fa, your appearance in my book could attract more readers."
"..."
This old man... is unbelievable!
If it were a younger guy, Zhao Yi might have slapped him out of pure irritation. Is this any way to talk to soone?
Wants to see fail?
Wants to see how I waste my youth on dood research?
Now wants to write an autobiography about it!
Zhao Yi took a deep breath. He figured he shouldn’t be arguing with a delusional old man, but he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Gritting his teeth, he nodded and said, "Fine! Watch then!"
Kibor’s thoughts seed clear-cut, "The precondition is, if you fail, you must agree to let include you in my book."
"No problem!"
"Agreent reached!"
"Agreent... damn it!"
