Britain. 英国。 In the suburbs in Edinburgh some residents. 爱丁堡郊区的某间民宅里。 An old person is sitting before the window wooden table, is facing a slightly obsolete computer, is knocking on the keyboard with an index finger letter letter, is editing a mail with total concentration. 一位老人正坐在窗边的木桌前,面对着一本略显老旧的电脑,用食指一个字母一个字母地在键盘上敲着,聚精会神地编辑着一封邮件。 What is putting nearby the table corner is a newspaper, looks at the date in page layout is two weeks ago. 在桌角一旁放着的是一张报纸,看版面上的日期是两个星期前的。 Brucker national laboratory that in that side of spreading out, printed the news was initiating to discuss a while ago to announce that temporarily withdrew from imcrc that matter. 在摊开的那一面上,印刷着的新闻正是前段时间引发热议的布鲁克海文国家实验室宣布暂时退出imcrc的那件事情。 Tens of billions US dollars investment, the scientific research projects of over dozens national participation, only started to make such big accident finally, not only this matter makes noisily in Physics, caused a big topic beside Physics. 上百亿美元的投资,超过数十个国家参与的科研工程,结果刚刚起步就闹出来这么大的岔子,这件事情不只是在物理学界闹得沸沸扬扬,在物理学界之外也引起了不小的话题。 With the complex mood, the old person wrote in the mail. 怀着复杂的心情,老人在邮件中写道。 【...... Physics should be an enlightened division/discipline , because of the respect to all viewpoints, we can obtain the present prosperity. I am unable to appraise the choice of Lu Zhou temporarily is whether correct, even if he is possibly wrong, this is still only academic on is not mature, but should not respond with this non- rational way.】 【……物理学本应该是一门开明的学科,正是因为对所有观点的尊重,我们才能获得如今的繁荣。我暂时无法评价陆舟的选择是否正确,但即便他可能是错的,这也只是学术上的不成熟,而不应该用这种非理性的方式回应。】 【...... In summary, withdrew from the experiment at this time absolutely is not a sane choice. Regarding Brucker national laboratory, is regarding Physics unity for a long time, will be a huge injury...... I do not know whether behind this will have the consideration of political factor, but the trust that for what reason, it should not will use 100 years to build up us be the gambling stake.】 【……综上所述,在这时候退出实验绝对不是一个理智的选择。无论是对于布鲁克海文国家实验室而言,还是对于物理学界长久以来的团结而言,都将是一次巨大的伤害……我不知道这背后是否有政治因素的考量,但无论是出于何种目的,它都不应该将我们用一百年的时间建立的信任作为赌注。】 【Hopes that you can reconsider this matter, perhaps lasts is discontented.】 【希望您能够重新考虑这件事情,也许为时不满。】 【Peter Higgs】 【彼得・希格斯】 Peter Higgs. 彼得・希格斯。 Edinburgh University emeritus professor, 13 years of Nobel Physics prize winner, but reason of prize because of the well-known higgs particle. 爱丁堡大学荣誉退休教授,13年诺贝尔物理学奖得主,而获奖的原因则是因为众所周知的希格斯粒子。 Regarding this name, let alone is most Physics, perhaps even about the physics knew not many people will still know. 对于这个名字,别说是绝大多数物理学家,恐怕就算是对物理了解不多的人也会知道一点。 Knocked the name of inscription place, the old person brow wrinkled gently, looked up the dark cloud that outside an eye piece as if possibly fell momentarily. 敲下了落款处的名字,老人眉头轻轻皱了下,抬头看了一眼窗外仿佛随时都可能落下来的乌云。 Since the retirement, the only body was getting more and more sensitive to the response of weather, other all are becoming eat. Especially time sense, even if gets up to read a calendar every morning, but he still always forgets that today is what day, as well as must handle these things. 自从退休以后,唯独身体对天气的反应越来越敏感了,其他的一切都在变得吃顿。尤其是时间观念,就算每天早上起来都会看一眼日历,但他仍然总是忘记今天是什么日子,以及要去做那些事情。 It seems like by him the newspaper. 就好像他旁边的这张报纸。 When he sees, the entire matter has passed nearly for two weeks. 当他看到的时候,整个事情已经过去快两个星期了。 When he quickly contacts with oneself friend to inquire, and online searches the related information, understood finally the after beginning to end of matter, his is similar to the out of the window bad weather to be equally sad. 而当他急忙联系自己的朋友打听,并且在网上搜索相关的资讯,总算是了解了事情的始末之后,他的心情就如同窗外糟糕的天气一样沉重。 Since he had done the retirement only not to tow to the matter that tomorrow handles again. 紧接着,他干了退休以来唯一一件没有拖到明天再去做的事情。 Namely, gives him to write a letter in old friend Professor Bulovic who the Brucker scientific learned holds the post of the important post. 即,给他在布鲁克海文科学学会担任要职的老朋友布罗维奇教授写信。 No matter 750 gev characteristics absorption whether is worth on the flower all year round time going to the thorough excavation, no matter holds the post of Lu Zhou of director to act willfully to launch this/should project whether has the suspicion of impractical council, at least academic it should not the preinstall standpoint. 不管750gev的特征峰是否值得花上一整年的时间去深入挖掘,不管担任理事长的陆舟一意孤行启动该项目是否有架空理事会的嫌疑,至少学术本身是不应该预设立场的。 This reminded him of 60 years ago. 这不禁让他想起了六十年前。 He remembered at that time, oneself wrote a short paper, published in cern Journal «Physics Communication» on. 他记得当时,自己写了一篇短小的论文,发表在了cern的期刊《物理学通信》上。 After that paper crosses the manuscript, later he wrote a paper to throw to «Physics Communication», describes the theoretical model that conceived is also the present is called „Higgs mechanism” the model, finally was actually edited to take strikes back as the reason absurdly. 在那篇论文过稿之后,随后他又写了一篇论文投给《物理学通信》,描述一种自己设想的理论模型也就是现在被称为“希格斯机制”的模型,结果却被编辑以荒谬为理由打回。 This paper was published in «Physics Quick Comment» finally on. 这篇论文最后被发表在了《物理学快评》上。 If not his insistence, actually perhaps still carried the weak interaction the fundamental particle how to obtain the quality until today's people unable to explain. 如果不是他的坚持,也许直到今天人们仍然无法解释携带弱相互作用的基本粒子究竟是如何获得质量的。 Faced the writing mail to ponder long time. 面对着写好的邮件沉思了良久。 Looks at the second line from the bottom „in summary”, he hesitant a moment later, obliterates from the mail this word, making the expression of entire chapter mail seem like as far as possible more tactful, then clicked on the button of transmission. 看着倒数第二行的“综上所述”,他犹豫了片刻之后,将这个词从邮件中删去,让整篇邮件的措辞看起来尽可能委婉一些,然后点击了发送的按钮。 „...... The hope can play a role.” “……希望能够起到一点作用吧。” No matter that old friend whether to perceive own opinion, he must make anything within the ability. 不管那位老朋友能否听进去自己的意见,他总得在力所能及的范围内做些什么。 The mouth is muttering verbosely, he holds the arm rest of chair, stands up from the seat strenuously, arrived by the window tremblingly. 嘴里絮絮叨叨地喃喃自语着,他扶着椅子的扶手,从座椅上吃力地站起身来,颤颤巍巍地走到了窗户旁边。 Out of the window is cloudy, is the morning actually felt obviously it was soon black was the same. The street opposite neighbor has closed the window, took in the pot in courtyard the room, rainstorm as if possibly falls momentarily. 窗外乌云密布,明明是上午却感觉天快要黑了一样。街对面的邻居已经关上了窗户,将院子里的花盆收进了屋中,一场暴雨仿佛随时都可能落下。 „...... Always felt that today has the appearance that any big matter must have.” “……总感觉今天有什么大事儿要发生的样子。” The mouth thought aloud that whispered, the old person put out a hand to draw in the bed curtain. 嘴里自言自语地嘀咕了一句,老人伸手拉上了床帘。 The academic intuition is a thing of very metaphysics. 学术直觉是一个很玄学的东西。 Perhaps he has not even thought, oneself this spoke thoughtlessly saying words, but also really fulfilled...... 恐怕连他自己也没有想到,自己这随口一说的话,还真就应验了…… ...... …… February 2. 2月2日。 Regarding international Physics, today absolutely is extraordinarily significant one day. 对于国际物理学界而言,今天绝对是意义不凡的一天。 Moon the time end had passed at night for three days, the accidental/surprised collider necessary stored energy facility should complete the sufficient energy next time, imcrc will have conducted to clash quickly recently the experiment. 月球黑夜期结束已经过去了三天,不出意外对撞机配套的储能设施应该已经完成了充能,imcrc很快就会在近期内进行下一次对撞实验。 This experiment has not started, received the extensive attention of Physics. 这场实验还没开始,就收到了物理学界的广泛关注。 The reason does not have him. 原因无他。 Because in some time ago, Lu Zhou uploaded a related hyperspace theory in the arxiv website, as well as constitutes in the fundamental particle of atom to contain to have granule of existence in the hyperspace. 因为就在不久前,陆舟在arxiv网站上传了一篇有关超空间理论,以及构成原子的基本粒子中包含有一种存在于超空间之中粒子。 Under usual circumstances, this granule is quite stable, would hardly give oneself away. Only then in the impact energy achieves in certain magnitude high energy physical experiment, will let this special granule in the extremely unstable form, appears in three dimensional time and space in conventional significance shortly. 在通常情况下,这种粒子是相当稳定的,几乎不会露出马脚。只有在碰撞能达到一定量级的高能物理实验中,才会让这种特殊的粒子以极其不稳定的形式,短暂地出现在常规意义上的三维时空中。 At that time this theory once were published, immediately starts the tide of argument in Physics. 当时这一理论一经发表,立刻在物理学界掀起了争论的浪潮。 Once obtained in 2013 with Professor Peter Higgs together Professor Nobel who Physics prize Sauvat Engler in an interview, if then said to the media. 曾经和彼得・希格斯教授共同获得2013年诺贝尔物理学奖的朗索瓦・恩格勒教授在接受采访时,便如是对媒体说道。 „This theory sounds is possibly more surprising than the ultra string theory, even unthinkable...... hyperspace theory, although is not the viewpoint of vanguard, the m theory once made has been similar should have 11 hyperspace dimensions to ‚complete universe’ such prediction, however this eventually is only a guess. Compares his theory, how actually am I more curious he to show?” “这个理论听起来可能比超弦理论还要令人惊讶,甚至于匪夷所思……超空间理论虽然不是什么前卫的观点,m理论就曾作出过类似于‘完整的宇宙应该是有十一个超空间维度’这样的预言,然而这终究只是一种猜测。相比起他的理论,其实我更好奇他如何证明？” „The dimension that I mean, in the present Physics experimental tool, we can observe the object who is we are at merely, or compared with this dimension lower thing.” “我的意思是,以现在的物理学实验手段,我们能够观测的对象仅仅是我们所在的这个维度、或者比这个维度更低的东西。” „I lift the most popular granule, if we live a slip of paper person on white paper, a small ball with our paper surfaces parallel, and makes the vertical movement. Assuming that the light source is vertical absolutely with the paper surface, can see on paper we, merely is the point of projection stay still on paper surface.” “我举个最通俗的粒子,如果我们只是生活在一张白纸上的纸片人,一颗小球与我们所处的纸面平行,并且做垂直运动。假设光源绝对垂直与纸面,在纸上的我们能够看到的,仅仅是投影在纸面上的一个静止不动的点。” „If really has that existence in the granule of high dimension, we can see are also most is only it the projection in three-dimensional space, do not say that analyzes its complete path.” “如果真的有那种存在于高维度的粒子,我们能够看到的也最多只是它在三维空间上的投影,更不要说去分析它完整的运动轨迹。” „Therefore, he planned that what experiment with showed that this being almost impossible proven theory establishment? Even if he logically is the self consistent method.” “所以,他打算用什么样的实验去证明,这种几乎不可能被证明的理论成立？哪怕他在逻辑上是自洽的。” The lifeform of two-dimensional world is unable to know the entirety of three dimensional world forever, the lifeform of three dimensional world regarding the four-dimensional world confused is also the same. 二维世界的生物永远无法知晓三维世界的全部,三维世界的生物对于四维世界的迷茫也是一样的。 No matter Professor Sauvat Engler whether can imagine Lu Zhou to show through what kind of experiment own conclusion, the new round of experiment of imcrc must start immediately, this time he also merely expressed the curiosity in heart, the negative viewpoint performance cannot look like Professor Whittle to be like that bright. 不管朗索瓦・恩格勒教授是否能够想象陆舟将通过怎样的实验证明自己的结论,imcrc的新一轮实验马上就要开始了,这时候的他也仅仅只是表示了心中的好奇,并没有将否定的观点表现得像惠特尔教授那般鲜明。 After all stands in an angle of Physics, he is glad to see Lu Zhou to solve this problem. 毕竟站在一名物理学家的角度,他还是非常乐得看见陆舟能够解决这个问题的。 If he truly can show, the fundamental particle of this constitution universe truly hides in the world of high dimension, now Physics contact surface to many difficult problems will be easily solved. 如果他确实能够证明,这种构成宇宙的基本粒子确实藏在高维度的世界中,当今物理学界面对的许多难题都将迎刃而解。 The process of waiting is so long. 等待的过程是如此漫长。 When everyone is waiting for the imcrc renewal experimental data, finally to going to the capital time 12 : 00 am, latest experimental data was synchronized on passed to the official database. 就在所有人都翘首以盼着imcrc更新实验数据的时候,终于到了上京时间凌晨12点,最新的实验数据被同步上传到了官方的数据库中。 As the news spreads, the world and imcrc had the cooperation university to gain the first-hand material in abundance, started processing to the primary data. 随着消息扩散开来,全球与imcrc有合作的高校纷纷获取了第一手资料,开始了对原始数据的处理。 Even if the entire journey ob Brucker national laboratory, even if had announced in high profile that temporarily withdrew from this plan, but still downloaded the data brazenly. 哪怕是全程ob的布鲁克海文国家实验室,即便已经高调宣布暂时退出了这个计划,但仍然还是厚着脸皮下载了数据。 But result of experiment, is the unexpected astonishment. 而实验的结果,也是出乎意料的惊人。 In entire Physics when for result of this experiment, but amazed, one by the public lecture of Lu Zhou oneself host, has started in imcrc general headquarters...... 就在整个物理学界都在为这次实验的结果而惊诧不已的时候,一场由陆舟本人主持的报告会,已经在imcrc的总部开始了…… Lamp pen 灯笔
