If one could truly experience the world from the perspective of a particle, the world in which the particle exists is probably not much different from the macroscopic world. That's because the passage of time a particle experiences is vastly different from how we define the passage of time in the macroscopic world.
Similarly, when the definition of time is changed, the corresponding concept of velocity naturally changes as well. Or if the definition of time is removed, then the microscopic world would be simply a world of forces and energy.
In other words, the so-called uncertainty principle is nothing more than the macroscopic world's inaccuracy in measuring the microscopic world. If a person could shrink to the size of a Higgs boson, then everything they observed would be traceable.
The position of a particle would no longer be a probability, but a definite location, and its every movement could be clearly marked.
The image that emerged in Qiao Ze's mind at that moment was exactly this: the fleeting existence of a particle under the macroscopic definition of time, yet with a clear trajectory.
The countless paths of these trajectories ultimately formed what is known as a field in physics...
The jumbled thoughts eventually became the lines of formulas and lemmas, theorems on Qiao Ze's screen.
It was only at times like these that he would completely forget the passage of time.
Even forsaking his habit of looking out from the balcony with a telescope every two hours.
If it hadn't been for Su Mucheng staying by his side, he might have even forgotten to eat.
On Monday night, Xu Changshu came by once again.
Although he felt he had gained a lot from the exchange with Qiao Ze the previous night at the dinner, there were too many people around at the time and it wasn't convenient to talk continuously. Moreover, once Qiao started dining, he really wouldn't say a word, so the next day Xu Changshu couldn't help but come over again.
The new hotel address was proactively provided by Yu Chenggong.
Xu Dajiang contacted Yu Chenggong daily to inquire about Qiao Ze's situation, and Yu Chenggong also learned from Xu Dajiang that this Professor Xu was maneuvering to transfer to Xilin University of Technology. Naturally, he began to feel a lot more amiable towards this professor.
A professor who was invited by Qiao Ze must have some capability, not to mention that this man had obtained a full professorship at a place like Yanbei University.
Such talent at Xilin University of Technology was bound to be highly valued, and Yu Chenggong did not mind establishing good relations in advance. The astute Director Yu had his own logic for dealing with things. Wasn't the network of small figures accumulated through these trivial conveniences?
Especially since Yu had a keen eye and could see that Xu Changshu was the kind of scholar who devoted himself to academics with simple-minded dedication. Such people, although inevitably a bit proud, usually remember the good others have done for them.
Unfortunately, Xu Changshu's timing was not good, and he was sent away after less than twenty minutes of chat with Qiao Ze.
This visit made Xu Changshu truly realize why Zhang Hongcai would say, "Talk to Qiao Ze before you decide whether or not to go to Xilin."
Indeed, face-to-face communication with Qiao Ze seemed to be even more strenuous than exchanging emails.
When someone speaks as little as he does, trying to keep up with their thoughts is very difficult.
But this, in turn, made Xu Changshu feel more excited.
Because in his view, although Qiao Ze did not like to communicate, it clearly showed that the young man was truly devoting all his energy to academic research.
Moreover, with Qiao Ze's talent, working with Qiao Ze at Xilin University of Technology in the future would inevitably provide opportunities to research the most cutting-edge theories.
He didn't even need his name on the papers; just being able to research together and understand those results firsthand was immensely satisfying. Not to mention that every few words from Qiao Ze would bring him a harvest of insights.
This was despite him not knowing that Qiao Ze was busy writing a paper on the existence of the Yang-Mills fields.
If he had known, he probably would be even more eager to transfer from Yanbei University to Xilin University of Technology.
Xu Changshu didn't attend the report at Huaqing University, but just from the one at Yanbei University, Xu could confirm that for a person like Qiao Ze, just one chance to showcase himself was enough, and he would no longer need any platform. Indeed, wherever he was, that place would become the platform.
For someone who could casually tackle a worldwide problem, what need was there for a platform?
In the last two days, videos of Qiao Ze's reports at Yanbei University had also been circulating in the Huaxia Mathematical Community, especially within the mathematics and physics departments of the Huaxia Science Academy. The 150-minute-long conference video began to spread wildly.
As the conference was semi-public and with Yanbei University inviting several academicians to attend, all the academicians actively requested the complete video content of the conference that day.
Many of the proofs demonstrated by Qiao Ze might be hard to understand during the short two-hour conference, but content packed with solid material, when reviewed repeatedly, and then compared with the papers published in "Mathematics Annual," were still generally understandable in terms of Qiao Ze's approach.
By Tuesday, Qiao Ze's report even touched off a small-scale academic debate within the Science Academy.
The debate revolved around whether Qiao Ze's approach was correct and whether it could truly solve this half-century-old problem that had troubled mathematicians and physicists worldwide.
If considered purely from an academic perspective, perhaps the debate would not have been so intense, but once it involved other factors, things always developed in strange directions.
Just as Zhang Hongcai had said, once Qiao Ze truly proved this problem, resources would inevitably start to tilt in his favor. This was different from the field of artificial intelligence that Qiao Ze was involved in, where he had similarly proposed mathematically theoretical research but had already proven its application value.
