MTL - Into Unscientific-Chapter 424 Reactions from all walks of life

  Chapter 424 Reactions from all walks of life

   "They found dark matter, really cold dark matter, CDM."

   Hearing what Angus said.

   Even Lucas has a Nobel Prize-winning brain.

  The whole person couldn't help being down for several seconds.

   After regaining consciousness.

   Subconsciously, a sorry came out of his mouth, covering the phone and saying:

   "Sorry, Mr. Angus, maybe I have auditory hallucinations. You may be saying that the Chinese made a new version of CAD?"

   "There are quite a lot of bucket-carrying brothers in their country, and they do have the ability and demand."

   As a result, the words were not finished.

  Angus answered in a low voice on the other end of the phone:

   "It's not CAD, it's CDM, Mr. Lucas, you heard me right."

   "In addition, I didn't mean to be joking, you can go to the official Twitter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to see, they have sent invitations to all over the world."

  “.”

  Lucas heard the words, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched violently twice.

  If it is not a holding position with both hands.

   Now he might not even be able to hold the phone.

  Although it is true that he and Lars once said not to underestimate Chinese people, it has not been three hours since he said this sentence.

   But he was referring to China's scientific research potential, not its current strength.

   [China will approach the scientific research strength of Europe and the United States within a few years] This kind of remarks is indeed very objective in Lucas' view.

   The result was unexpected.

   Huaxia actually came up with a dark matter achievement at this time?

   This is obviously outrageous.

after awhile.

  Lucas finally recovered from his nerves. He took a deep breath and said to Angus:

   "Mr. Angus, I will go to Huaxia immediately tomorrow, and I will trouble you about the air ticket."

  After hanging up the phone.

  Lucas quickly exited the address book interface, returned to the desktop and clicked on a blue-winged software.

   "Huaxia Academy of Sciences should be the Chinese Academy of Sciences"

  The name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lucas, doesn't get in touch with much on weekdays, so typing is a bit jerky.

   But with the efforts of Erzhi Zen, he finally finished typing these letters.

   Then click Search.

soon.

  A notice appeared in front of Lucas:

  【Physicists and physic enthusiasts from mall over the world, this is the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Nowwearesolemnlyannouncingthatwewillofficiallyannounceamajordiscoveryofcolddarkmatterat9:30a.m.YanjingtimeonFebruary5，2023!】

  The location of the press conference is also attached below the announcement:

  【Chengdu】

  Lucas' eyes focused on 'colddarkmatter' for a while, and a trace of solemnity and shock flashed in his eyes.

  It is really cold dark matter.

  Bright and neat, leaving no room for word games.

   Then Lucas thought about it.

   Going back a page, looking at the friend's dynamics.

   As a known workaholic, Lucas' social account followlist is pure.

   Except for a few relatives such as my mother, sister, wife and nephew, the rest of the follow list are almost all accounts related to physics.

   It's not like many old pornographic readers have followed a lot of Miss Fuliji.

  I saw this moment.

  In Lucas's attention page, there is a series of content related to the announcement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  The most of them are doubts.

   After all, this news is really amazing.

  The representative of the skeptical faction is David Pulitzer of the California Institute of Technology. He almost took the initiative to carry the banner of doubt:

  【Chinese people? dark matter? Can these two words also be linked together? Are you **** kidding me? Let me tell you, they will 100% change the concept secretly, just like the murderer who killed my child in the past, it is extremely shameless! 】

  See this post.

   Lucas couldn't help but sighed slightly.

  David Pulitzer.

   This is also a well-known tragic figure in the physics world.

  The physicist with the same name as the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism won the Nobel Prize in 2004 and was once proud.

   But in the second month after the Nobel Prize was announced.

  His youngest son, his wife and grandson died in a car accident in California.

  The perpetrator of the car accident was a Chinese student studying abroad, speeding + taking drugs + inhaling laughing gas + drunk driving, he was 100% responsible.

  Since there is no criminal extradition treaty between Huaxia and Haidian, the case was naturally prosecuted in Haidian.

  California is a large state across the sea that has not abolished the death penalty. It is also the state with the largest number of death row inmates pending execution. San Quentin Prison in the state holds the largest number of death row inmates in the United States.

  Therefore, David Pulitzer’s appeal at the beginning is very clear:

  Kill for life.

  He refused all media interviews and made it clear that there was no room for concessions

  As a result, the parents of the perpetrator, an international student, traveled thousands of miles to the opposite side of the sea, and spent a lot of money to whitewash the perpetrator as a "mental patient under conditional release-style compulsory medical treatment". The sentence was only four short years.

  So since then.

  David Pulitzer's favorable opinion of the judicial system across the sea and China fell to a negative value, and he even criticized China many times in public lectures.

be honest.

  Compared to other anti-China figures, David Pulitzer is a sunspot in an abnormal situation, and his feelings are encouraging.

But on the other hand.

  Some of his remarks did tarnish Huaxia's image.

   It can only be said to be a complete tragedy

   There are many people who questioned like David Pulitzer, and their attitudes are quite consistent:

   Firmly do not believe that China has created dark matter.

   Lucas even saw his colleague Hercule Linden give a thumbs up to a questioning comment.

Of course.

  There are doubts, and naturally there are industry leaders who expect and even believe.

  For example, Anton Salinger, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022 and a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, expressed his expectation for this news:

[I have served as an honorary professor of the University of Science and Technology of China since 1996. I have been in contact with many scientific research projects of Jinling University and Xi'an Jiaotong University. I know that China's scientific research level is improving rapidly. They may not be able to rank in the forefront of the international research on dark matter. , but it also has the ability to make results. Those who don't believe it can think about or search for the dragon chant fifty-eight years ago]

  Below this tweet, Anton Salinger also added a sentence:

[I suggest that colleagues can take this opportunity to visit Huaxia. I cannot assure you whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences has really discovered dark matter (because I have not received any news from the beginning to the end), but at least it can refresh your understanding of the country’s economic and social development in China. Business impression, well, I’m going to the airport, see you in Rongcheng]

  Anton Salinger, as a boss who just won the Nobel Prize, still has a lot of influence at this time.

  For example, after reading this tweet, Lucas calmed down a lot.

think carefully

  He really hasn't been to Huaxia in person.

  His knowledge of Huaxia mainly comes from the overseas students he taught and various papers. He only went to Ludao once fifteen years ago in China.

  If the name is not mistaken.

   There is a food called sand tea noodles and soil bamboo shoot jelly that suits his appetite.

   No matter.

   Like Anton Salinger said.

   Regardless of whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered cold dark matter or not, it would be nice to travel to China once.

   Figured this out.

  Lucas stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket, and beckoned his two colleagues to continue heading towards the hotel.

   Actually.

   It is not only the Internet that has become restless because of the announcement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

   as the location of the event.

   Huaxia's Internet media also ushered in a topic of discussion peak.

   This enthusiasm is even higher than the original public opinion press conference.

  #中科学院报告发现黑良物质# less than half an hour after the entry was released, it rushed to the top of the list of major media.

   Tell the truth.

  The moment many people saw this entry, they subconsciously thought it was a folk science argument.

   Because there is precedent for this.

  For example, Li Zifeng, a professor at Yanshan University, once claimed that he had overturned the theory of relativity, and bought himself a hot search, which was quite exaggerated:

  【Chinese scholars have overturned the theory of relativity】.

   Then Li Zifeng became popular, and the image of Huaxia's scientific research circle became even more hip.

  So when I saw this entry.

  Many people who know Brother and Sword Immortal subconsciously rolled up their sleeves, ready to make their debut and make a long speech.

  But after seeing clearly the three words "Chinese Academy of Sciences" at the front of the entry, all the words suddenly turned into .

  140. That is, the question mark for the maximum number of words in a single comment.

  【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

   Then in as little as an hour.

  This entry has a bright red word "explosion".

   Among them, the content of Tuantuan is the most direct:

  【The Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the discovery of dark matter, another great conjecture after gravitational waves has been proven? There are still four days until the truth is revealed, we will wait and see! 】

   The user with the highest ranking comment below is called [Golden Jasmine], and the length is very short, less than two centimeters:

  【Mom, really? 】

   Ranked second is a whole comment, nicknamed [milk red pink head].

  The content is also four words:

  【Group photo in the front row】.

  Most of the comments in the building are short comments such as 'squeeze', 'sticker' and 'group photo'.

  The rest of the official media is similar.

   can be clearly seen.

  After the crackdown on the public opinion press conference, some controversial comments with a special purpose were significantly reduced.

Of course.

   Just a lot less, not a complete cut off—the latter is basically impossible without curated reviews.

   Therefore, under some unofficial big V accounts, you can still see some criticisms.

  For example, a comment called [Li Ning was kicked off the line]:

  【The group of rice worms who embezzled funds in the Chinese Academy of Sciences have this ability? what? 】

  【Brother Cheng died early】:

  【The postgraduate direction happens to be related to dark matter. I can say responsibly that there is absolutely no strength in China to discover dark matter. It will be 100% embarrassing】

   There are many similar remarks, and there are supporters and opponents below.

  Most of the opponents are passers-by who do not have a deep understanding of domestic sophisticated projects, and do not know the real inside story.

  For example, some people have vaguely heard of the Wukong detection satellite. When you mention it, they will often say [Oh, yes, yes, I seem to have heard of this satellite], but they don’t know that it is a device for detecting dark matter.

  Some have compared dark matter with the curvature engine in science fiction, thinking that it is a science fiction product that may not be discovered until hundreds of years later.

   Supporters

   In fact, most of them are passers-by.

But they believe more in the country's scientific research strength - a large part of which is because the University of Science and Technology announced that it has proved the Mersenne prime number conjecture not long ago, and some bloggers have dug up the previous news about the synthesis of starch with carbon dioxide, which has brought everyone's confidence to a new level. .

   and in addition to both.

   There is also a neutral party between the two, the so-called rational party.

  For example, a popular science blogger who is certified as National University of Science and Technology and whose Weibo name is [Zhajiangmian yyds] sent out a "sensible article" eloquently:

  【As soon as I woke up, I saw this trending search, and couldn’t help but say a few words】

  【First of all, the so-called leading party is the University of Science and Technology of China, not our National University of Science and Technology. I hope you don’t Q the fruit shell】

  【Secondly, the announcement from the Academy of Sciences says that ‘dark matter has been discovered’, but it doesn’t say which type it is—dark matter is divided into generalized dark matter and non-generalized dark matter, and can be subdivided into hot dark matter, warm dark matter and cold dark matter】

  【Of course, the topic is so hot now, the result will definitely not be false, but I personally think that it is warm dark matter at most】

   Later, the blogger did a lot of science popularization around warm and dark matter, and then said something very fatherly like an elder patting a junior on the shoulder:

  【Even warm dark matter is pretty good, which means we still have the ability to discover unknown matter】.

   This blog post was quickly pushed to the homepage of Weibo, and quickly led some passers-by to think about it.

   After all, hot and cold dark matter are a bit extreme respectively, and warm dark matter is also a compromise choice.

  This approach is said to be more conservative or rational, but in fact it still lacks self-confidence.

   Actually.

   Few people know or notice.

   So far.

   Huaxia has never been suspected of falsifying or exaggerating the results published through the official channel of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

For example, in a series of announcements such as the first discovery of Weyl fermions, the first discovery of topological semimetal states, the first observation of triple degenerate fermions, the announcement of the results of the Sky Eye, the announcement of the "Jiaolong" results, etc., what should be is actually what it is .

  If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you won't rub it hard.

   It's just a little different in expression.

  For example, the results that can be ranked in the top ten to twenty in the world are generally expressed as "advanced echelon".

  The results of the top ten or even the top five in the world are "first-class level".

  The first five to the first are "superior first-class standards".

  This kind of expression is relatively euphemistic, but in any case it has nothing to do with word games or exaggeration.

   It's a pity that it may be because of a bad impression of the Chinese scientific research circle, or because I have seen too many such news on weekdays.

  Many people are not aware of the fact that the Academy of Sciences never lies.

   And the whole situation is slowly moving forward amidst the attention of all walks of life.

   Two hours after Lucas returned to the hotel.

  Fermilab sent three ticket information.

  There is no direct air ticket from Geneva to China, so Lucas needs to transfer to Paris first, and then fly to China.

  The flight from Geneva to Paris is at 6:50 in the morning. Counting the rush, check-in and boarding, they have to get up at least two hours in advance to prepare.

  So after dinner, Lucas and his party went to bed early.

   Nothing to say all night.

   Early the next morning.

Jingle Bell-

  Lucas was woken up on time by the alarm clock next to the bed, yawned and finished washing, and went out to meet the two colleagues next door.

   According to the itinerary plan.

  After they had breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor, they had to rush to the airport immediately.

   As a result, I just came to the restaurant.

   A familiar greeting came from Lucas' ear:

   "Hey Lucas!"

   Lucas looked along the trend.

  I saw an old acquaintance of mine sitting impressively near the entrance of the restaurant.

   Lars.

   The room tripped, and the bathroom was connected to another line, so there was electricity. I didn’t expect that I would turn on the rice cooker to cook in the bathroom one day.
