Chapter 64 Part 1
—”Do you know what physics is?”
The voice of the youth was a little rough and not loud, but the rebellious confidence in his voice successfully made the whole room quiet for a moment.
His question was so commanding that almost everyone present was following along.
So, what is physics?
Next, their jaws nearly dropped when they heard some topics about physics that they had never touched before in their lives.
“Do you know what the analytic extension of the Kerr metric is?”
Lin Pingzheng was in a rage when he suddenly heard these somewhat familiar terms. The youth successfully made him speechless.
Kerr metric? It might be a part of advanced general relativity.
He drifted around during his four years of college. He was fairly decent in mechanics and electromagnetism as a freshman. He chose applied physics in his sophomore year and junior year. After four years, he failed several courses. His GPA was too and he almost dropped out of school.
He was so confused by the material he had to study, so how could he know these things?
He was not given a lot of time to react since the youth continued to question him.
“Can you explain what spontaneous symmetry breaking is?”
His voice didn’t fluctuate at all, and it was not angry either. It made people feel a little su and gentle because of the husky and deep voice. ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙
But everyone listening there was clear about one thing.
—He crushed him.
It was not the kind of contempt where students in the same class looked down on each other. Instead, it was the kind where a big boss treated a regular person without any importance after thoroughly crushing them.
After the youth asked this question, he kept quiet for half a minute, as if he was giving Lin Pingzheng some time to think.
Of course, it was impossible for him to answer…
Seeing him stuck there with a red face, the youth smiled and asked him one last question with a smile.
“Oh, so you know nothing about that? Then let’s try another one… Do you know how to calculate the renormalization of non-Abelian gauge theory?”
Lin Pingzheng’s head was exploding from his three questions.
The renormalization of non-Abelian gauge theory… this time he had never even heard of this term. Renormalization… seemed to be part of the quantum field theory in theoretical physics.
They didn’t learn that in his major.
He closed his eyes, his head buzzing. It was as if he was seeing himself in B University when he could not pass any of the exams. His inferiority complex was strong.
He also saw that later on, because of his poor grades, he became withdrawn. He had nothing to do all day, and became more and more depraved as he wasted his time by playing games.
He saw that when he was about to graduate, he could only watch his classmates go to graduate school or study abroad. He was shamefully delayed a year because of his failing grades and mistakes in his graduation project.
A 16-year-old boy made him think of thos physics bosses in the department who had both high GPAs and scientific research skills. Those people walked on the brilliant future road of physics research with their dreams and they were also the people he hated most.
He couldn’t compare to them, but what about this kid?
He was a high school student. How could Lin Pingzhen be honest?
It was simply a joke.
The more low self-esteem a person had, the more conceited he would be. He asked back angrily, “What renormalization? I probably can’t, but did you think you could?”
He was just talking big. Did he think he could scare him by throwing all these words at him?
At this time, the boy suddenly stood up. He walked onto the platform. He took the hand of the girl who was still standing on the platform, and pulled her behind him.
“Man Man, give me a piece of chalk.”
When he turned around, his back to the crowd and he faced her. His expression suddenly became soft and gentle.
Zhang Man was surprised and handed him a piece from the chalk box.
The youth tilted his head. He was thinking for a few seconds, and then he looked at his watch.
“If I start from the basics, then I won’t finish by the time school is over… Forget it, let me start with Green’s function, in any case…”
He turned his head and looked at Lin Pingzheng.
“In any case, you probably won’t understand it.”
He shook his head and began to write a long and complicated formula on the blackboard, which soon occupied almost half of the blackboard.
This was real physics. It combined the elegance of mathematics and the sophistication of physics. Who knew how many times more complicated this was compared to the derivation of Coriolis force just now.
The students who watched him write, including the ten other people in the competition class, were already in shock.
What is this? Is this physics?
Where is F=ma? Where is V=at?

Wuwuwu mother, I’m too embarrassed to tell others that I’m a science student and I’m studying physics…
On that spring night, the breeze made the curtains float. The classroom was extremely quiet at this moment, leaving only the sound of the chalk as the youth scribbled on the blackboard.
There was also the sound of people breathing that they were trying to suppress and not make a disturbance.
His face from the side was delicate and incomparable. His clean and powerful fingers were white, and even his movements for holding the chalk seemed to have a different look.
Zhang Man was completely stunned and her heart was pounding.
While Lin Pingzheng was looking at him, he gritted his teeth gloomily and clenched his hands. His jealousy and inferiority swept through his heart again.
From this youth, he felt something that he never wanted to feel again.
This was the feeling.
The feeling of being crushed and unable to resist.
He looked at the formula on the blackboard, and he suddenly panicked. His eyes turned red as he picked up the eraser and wiped the blackboard. He frantically wiped out half of the formula written by the youth.
He hated physics.
