Chapter 393 Interesting Things_2



In the medium-sized modern conference room on the eighth floor of Xilin Mathematical Research Institute, Edward Witten sat at the podium, preparing to officially introduce the theoretical basis, supercomputing simulation process, and feedback data of the new accelerator to the visiting expert investigation team.

Actually, there's no need for much preparation. The theoretical stuff, after such a long period of debate, is already well-known.

For Edward Witten, who has attended countless report meetings, this kind of introduction work is his forte, and his identity can naturally hold the audience.

Additionally, the PPT was also made by Dou Dou, and it can be modified as needed, which is very convenient.

"This introduction is divided into three parts. The first part is the theoretical basis. I believe everyone has already gained some understanding of mathematical interweaving before coming here. Next, in the theoretical portion, I will explore the theoretical framework introduced by interweaving from the particle motion equations, mathematical description of quantum tunneling effect, and plasma wave equation with energy feedback system."

"The second part is about the verification design of our new accelerator and the introduction of algorithms, including theoretical modeling, the choice of simulation software, etc. It is worth mentioning that the software we used is an improved version of COMSOL Multiphysics used for multi-physics field coupling simulation, with a detailed introduction of the improvements."

"The third part is a summary display of relevant results and some preliminary preparation work we have done for the manufacturing of the new accelerator, including the selection of materials for various key constructions and the series of industrial test data arranged with relevant manufacturers..."

When Edward Witten spoke up to this point, there was some unrest below the stage, with whispering hums that were enough to disrupt the speaker. Fortunately, this Nobel Prize, Fields Medal winner was not surprised at all, just sat there smiling, without a hint of annoyance.

After all, he was also shocked before, and the reaction of the people on the floor was precisely what he wished to see.

See, this is how normal people should react.

If everyone were like Qiao Ze, then there would be no point in living.

"Alright, if anyone has questions, you can feel free to ask now. Once I start the formal explanation, I hope you can all remain quiet."

"I have a question, Professor Witten, what do you mean by saying that you have arranged relevant manufacturers for industrial test data?"

Almost immediately after Edward Witten finished speaking, Zhang Qige stood up and asked this question.

"Just literally. Okay, you should be glad Qiao is not hosting this report meeting today, otherwise he might not bother with such questions. Hmm, my prepared PPT has a relatively complete report."

So you will soon see these reports and can even directly verify with the selected manufacturers, so please be patient. Although none of this is due to me, it is all led by your artificial intelligence. Yes, it's that little thing called Dou Dou."

There was another uproar from the audience.

Dean Bai, sitting in the back of the conference room, listening in, couldn't control the expression on his face, which now looked like a blooming peony.

So what if there are experts from the Capital? So what if there are academicians? So what if there are Nobel Prize winners? They're still just a bunch of people who haven't seen the world.

Speaking of which, Bai Ziyu is absolutely the most confident in Qiao Ze among everyone in the conference room today, except for Edward Witten. After all, he has witnessed firsthand how Dou Dou's involvement in scientific research management has greatly increased the efficiency of all the labs.

Especially after the newly appointed President Zhang came, who decisively required all the labs, regardless of whether they had cooperation projects with Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, to be forcibly incorporated into Dou Dou's research management system, reportedly even the efficiency of scientific research funding allocation improved.

After all, no one spends money or gets things done as boldly as Dou Dou.

Fortunately, today the conference room was full of big shots. Everyone quickly calmed down and became more vibrant.

These are all good news, and moreover, they are excellent news.

Although such good news coming from a foreign friend might feel strange, the news itself is capable of helping those present resist all negative states...

Well, except for the annoying deduction process.

...

There's an academic research trivia that the ways of thinking in mathematics and physics are vastly different, the biggest difference being rigor.

Mathematics requires absolute rigor, in research and deduction processes, demanding that conjectures must be absolutely correct, any minor flaw can lead to the entire theorem proving process being unacknowledged.

Physics is not rigorous because its thinking process is completely different from mathematical research.

Take Newton as an example, seeing an apple fall, this is a phenomenon, and then discovering that everything falls downwards is an attempt to summarize some rules. Then based on observed rules, a bold hypothesis can be made, such as, regardless of whether I have seen it or not, all things on Earth will fall to the ground in the absence of interference from other forces.

Once there is this hypothesis, it requires finding a set of mathematical tools to describe and interpret this hypothesis. These mathematical tools can be self-created or borrowed from the research outcomes of mathematicians.

It is worth mentioning that in the deduction process conducted by physicists, it is generally not possible to be too rigorous. After all, using mathematics to describe the real world itself requires numerous assumptions. Based on these assumptions, more conclusions can be deduced, which makes the theory more complete.

Until reaching this point, when the formal establishment of the theoretical system begins, physics research becomes rigorous. Because this step often requires mathematicians to perfect a comprehensive set of mathematical tools to turn conjectures and hypotheses into theorems.

Whether it is the Universal Law of Gravitation or later Newton's three laws of motion, or even the proposal of Quantum Physics...it's essentially the same process.

Especially in the microscopic field, even now there are many phenomena where people know them but don't understand why.

For example, quantum entanglement and non-locality; the reality of wave functions...

This is exactly what Qiao Ze previously explained about mass gap, supplementing the mathematical foundation of Quantum Field Theory; otherwise the main framework describing particle physics still lacks strict mathematical foundation.

Thus, theoretical physicists feel truly inadequate about the strict mathematical deduction process, especially one that includes extremely abstract mathematical interweaving deduction process.

Yes, that is, they find it hard to comprehend.

Originally familiar formulas become completely unfamiliar after going around a circle, very unfriendly. The key is that the steps of those transformation deductions are also very complex, requiring very strong mathematical skills to understand.

Of course, it's not to say physicists are bad at mathematics, primarily they're just not as proficient, making the complex deduction process irritating.

Fortunately, Edward Witten understands the physicists.

Regarding the theoretical deduction process, he merely talked about it for half an hour, then quickly turned to the accelerator's algorithm design and detailed verification process, which finally re-energized the expert group below that had been dozing off.

On the other side, Qiao Ze was also intrigued.

Communicating with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences certainly doesn't require Qiao Ze to go there personally.

Obtaining the authorization of Edward Witten and Yang Xuanqing, he just handed it over to Dou Dou to deal with. Dou Dou has never made any mistakes in these small matters.

As long as the rationale is in their favor, it's sufficient for him. What interests him is Apple's collaboration with OpenAI. Although this collaboration has not been officially announced yet, only a few are aware, such matters clearly cannot be hidden from Dou Dou.

As Qiao Ze had previously said to Li Jiangao, before studying the Qunzhi Framework, he already understood ChatGPT to some extent, fundamentally it's a generative pre-trained transformer, belonging to an autoregressive model, mainly using deep learning technology.

Now Qiao Ze is not sure if those OpenAI researchers have noticed their ChatGPT has already undergone some changes. If combined with the competitive relationship between Microsoft and Apple, it seems to Qiao Ze that things are becoming interesting.

Although he is not interested in commercial matters, Dou Dou's evolution makes him have thoughts on these well-established companies' decades of technological accumulation.

Dou Dou now has the ability to assist in scientific research, if it can integrate into the other party's training mode, to complement each other, maybe they can further advance in the future.

Right now seems like a good opportunity to prove XiDou, for example, if a collaboration with Microsoft is reached, some things could be openly displayed in front of everyone.
