The penta-quark stategranuleswere discovered, regardingentiretheoryPhysics, is a discouraging news.
五夸克态粒子被发现,对于整个理论物理学界来说,都是一个振奋人心的消息。
……
……HoweverregardingFrankwellZurcher, hisrecentmood is not wonderful.
然而对于弗兰克维尔泽克来说,他最近的心情却不怎么美妙。Naturally, hisgoodmoodactually notbythathadron colliderstirringbadly, because onesixyears ago gamblingmakes.
当然了,他的好心情倒不是被那台强子对撞机给搅坏的,而是因为一个六年前的赌约。Sixyears ago, inAzores'sPhysicsconference, heand a husbandnamedRhettLeeshit a gambling.
六年前,在亚速尔的物理学会议上,他和一位叫加瑞特里斯的先生打了一个赌。Does not knowMr.Lees who wheregets so far as the invitation, whenhediscussed the standard modelstoodto disturb, firmly believed that the supersymmetry particledid not exist, becauseyoucould not find the supersymmetry particle, butFrankMr.naturallyNursediscussedPhysicsfirmly, andpredicted that hadron collider( lh )will survey the supersymmetry particlein 6 years!
不知从哪里弄到邀请函的里斯先生,在他谈论标准模型的时候站起来捣乱,坚持认为超对称粒子根本不存在,因为你们根本找不到超对称粒子,而弗兰克先生自然是坚定地维护理论物理学,并预言强子对撞机(lh)将在6年内探测到超对称粒子!Thentheyare in front ofeveryoneto make a bet.
然后他们就当着所有人的面打了个赌。
The arbitrator in thisgambling housewasat that timehostMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyProfessorMarkstayCormac of thatconference.
这场赌局的仲裁人是当时那场会议的主持人麻省理工学院教授马克斯泰戈马克。But the gambling stake, is1000US dollars.
而赌注,是1000美元。Now, 6yearshave passed, lhafterexperiencing more than twoyears of recuperation, finallyafterJune 3restartingexperiment, promoted13 tev the energysuccess. Butevendiscovered the penta-quark stategranules, had not discovered the supersymmetry particle the sign.
如今,六年已逝,lh在经历了两年多的休整后,终于在6月3日的重启实验之后,将能量成功提升到13tev。但即便是发现了五夸克态粒子,仍未发现超对称粒子的迹象。Although the standard modelwas examinedagaincorrectly, but has no eggto use, thisgambling househelost.
虽然标准模型再一次被正确检验,但并没有什么卵用,这场赌局他还是输了。As for the reason, heoverestimated the ernability, promotes the performanceto be optimisticafterlh.
至于原因,他高估了ern的能力,也对lh升级后的性能过于乐观。Actually, inPhysics, betis not the rarematter.
其实,在物理学界,打赌并不是什么罕见的事儿。ButregardingFrankwellZurcher of liking to gamble, thisis nothisfirstbet.
而对于好赌的弗兰克维尔泽克本人来说,这也不是他第一次下注。05years, hethenwithMassachusetts Institute of Technology„beautiful womanscientist”JennieConradmakes a bet, believes firmly that lhwill survey the higgs particle, but the latterthinkslhdid not discover.
05年,他便与麻省理工大学的“美女科学家”珍妮康拉德打赌,确信lh将会探测到希格斯粒子,而后者则认为lh发现不了。Thengambling stakewas the gold coinchocolate that at the Nobel prizeawards ceremonysupplied, the finalresultwas obvious, Frankwon the gambling house, andobtained10gold coinchocolate.
当时的赌注是诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼上供应的金币巧克力,最后的结果显而易见,弗兰克赢得了赌局,并得到十枚金币巧克力。Thistimehad not as if been in luck, heveryunfortunatelost the gambling house.
只是这次似乎就没那么走运了,他很不幸的输掉了赌局。Actually the victory and losshas nothing, regardingthesescholars, making a betat mostis the after-working hoursadjustment.
其实输赢没什么,对于这些学者来说,打赌顶多算是工作之余的调剂。But the issuecame, withthatMr. who RhettLeeshemakes a bet, thisfellow is actually not a fuel-efficientlamp.
但问题来了,和他打赌的那位加瑞特里斯先生,这家伙却不是个省油的灯。First, thisMr.Leesat all is notPhysics, butgraduates the philosophy departmentdoctorinUniversity of California Los Angeles Branch, the presentis a bridge constructionworker.
首先,这位里斯先生根本不是什么物理学家,而是毕业于加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分院的哲学系博士,现在是一名桥梁建筑工人。Next, thisphilosophy departmentdoctoritsbiggest„achievement”, thenwith the near futurebyLi Qune8structure that the mathematiciansanalyze, constructs the universaltheorems in legend, andpredicted more than 20granules......
其次,这位哲学系博士其最大“成就”,便是用近期才被数学家们解析的李群e8结构,构建传说中的大一统定理,并预言了20多个粒子……Cause that Einsteinhas not completed, is the buried treasure that theoryPhysicspursues. Howevercovetsthisburied treasurenot onlyobviouslytheoryPhysics, has not understoodphysicalinnumerably the peoplebranches,
爱因斯坦未完成的伟业,一直是理论物理学家追逐的宝藏。然而觊觎这个宝藏的显然不只是理论物理学家,还有无数根本不懂物理的民科们,Mr.RhettLees was inpeopleKuwaitmosthas of cultureprobably, at leastcompared withNorth Americathesethinks that tenaciouslyEarthwas the side, and self-maderocket the idiots who oneselfdelivered the stratospheremusttonot knowhighwhere.
加瑞特里斯先生大概便是民科中最有文化的那位了,至少比北美那些固执地认为地球是方的,并自制火箭把自己送上平流层的蠢货们要高到不知道哪里去了。Alsotherefore, hewas sealedbymanypeopleas„the king of peoplebranch”......
也正是因此,他被很多人封为“民科之王”……Although his wrap/setsintegrates the philosophic thinking the mathematical theory, the mathematicianorPhysicslistenedto snort contemptuously, butquitehad the marketincertainplaces, evenalso a book.
虽然他的那套融入哲学思想的数学理论,无论是数学家还是物理学家听了都嗤之以鼻,但在某些地方却相当有市场,甚至还出了一本书。Alsotherefore, toUrvikyZurcher, losingthisgambling house was very awkward.
也正是因此,对于维尔泽克来说,输掉这场赌局就很尴尬了。SolemnPhysicsNobel Prize winner, lost to„the king of peoplebranch”unexpectedly.
堂堂一个物理学诺贝尔奖得主,竟然输给了“民科之王”。AlthoughheonindividualTwitteracknowledgedvery muchconfidentlyoneselflost, andfulfilled1000US dollarsgentlemen's agreement, butclearly, hedoes not displayin the social networklikehimis so confident.
虽然他在个人的推特上很坦然地承认自己输了,并履行了1000美元的君子协定,但很明显,他心里并不像他在社交平台上表现出来的那么坦然。Thisis not1000US dollarsmatter, butisthatfellownamedLeesquitedoes not have, all daytakesthismatterinonlineto show off.
这不是1000美元的事情,而是那个叫里斯的家伙相当没品,整天拿着这件事在网上向人炫耀。Recentlymanypeoplemettakethismatterto teasehim, hecould not bearsimplytooneselftwopalms of the hand, howinitiallyto pull outon the brain, makes a betwiththisspicychicken?
最近很多人一见面就拿这件事儿调侃他,他简直忍不住给自己的自己两巴掌,当初怎么就脑子一抽,和这种辣鸡打了赌呢?Reallylost face!
实在是太丢面子了!Sitsinoffice that inernpreparesforhim, Mr.Frankis drinking the coffee, whileis visitingon the arxivwebsite the latest paperaboutpenta-quark stategranules.
坐在ern为他准备的办公室里,弗兰克先生一边喝着咖啡,一边浏览着arxiv网站上关于五夸克态粒子的最新论文。Atthis time, hisassistantknocked on a door.
就在这时候,他助手敲门走了进来。„Mr.Frank, somepeoplemakemebringonethingtoyou.”
“弗兰克先生,有人让我带一样东西给您。”„Whatthing?”Mr.Frankspoke thoughtlesslyto say.
“什么东西?”弗兰克先生随口回道。„It seems like a paper.” The assistantsreplied.
“看上去像一篇论文。”助手回答道。Although was not quite recently happy, butheopens the mouthto say.
虽然最近心情不太好,但他还是开口道。„Bringsmeto take a look.”
“拿来我瞧瞧。”„Goodmister.”
“好的先生。”Received the paper of printingfrom the hand of assistantonpaper, Frankbroughtto flip, spoke thoughtlesslyto askcareless: „Doesn't abovehave the name? Iswhobrings.”
从助手的手中接过了打印在纸上的论文,弗兰克拿过来翻了翻,漫不经心地随口问道:“上面没有名字?是谁拿来的。”Assistants: „According tothatperson of self introduction, heis an intern.”
助手:“根据那人的自我介绍,他是一名实习生。”„Intern?”Frankknits the browsslightly, butnot, becausethisstatusthrowsthispaperone side, butwasexpressioninvariablecontinuationlooked.
“实习生?”弗兰克微微皱了皱眉,不过并没有因为这层身份将这篇论文扔到一边,而是表情不变的继续看了下去。Canpractiseinernthisplace, abilitydefinitelysome...... at leastare not the peoplebranches. Actuallywhatmanypeoplelackis not a knowledge, merelyis only an opportunity, ifthispaperis interesting, hedid not mind that directsthisintern.
能在ern这个地方实习,能力肯定是有的……至少不是民科。其实很多人缺的并不是学识,仅仅只是一个机会而已,如果这篇论文有意思的话,他不介意指点一下这位实习生。Butthis is also hisherepersonal connectionverygoodreason.
而这也是他在这里人缘很好的原因。Looked attwocasually, butcontinuesto lookfollowing the paper, unemotionalFrank, on the facegraduallyappearedinterested.
原本只是随便看两眼,不过顺着论文继续看下去,原本面无表情的弗兰克,脸上逐渐浮现了一丝饶有兴趣。Whensawin the papersomephrase, hisexpressionsuddenly, the interestedlookgraduallybecomesserious.
当看到了论文中某一个字眼时,他的表情忽然一顿,饶有兴趣的神色渐渐变得严肃起来。Put down the paper in hand, Franklookedtoownassistant.
放下了手中的论文,弗兰克看向了自己的助手。„The contact method of thisperson?”
“这个人的联系方式呢?”
The assistantsgawkedslightly, immediatelysaid: „Hehas not left the telephone number, butleft behind an address, in the hotel near ernbuilding. Ifyouwantto seehim, Icanlook forhimforyou.”
助手微微愣了下,随即说道:“他并没有留下电话号码,不过留下了一个地址,就在ern大楼附近的酒店。如果你想见他,我可以替您将他找来。”„Helpsmelook forhim, thispaperreturnsInteresting.”Frankthrew the paperin the top left-hand corner of table.
“去帮我找下他吧,这篇论文还有点意思。”弗兰克将论文丢在了桌子的左上角。Generally speaking, placesherepaper, isin his opinionInteresting, at leasthasto makehimspend the time the value.
一般来说,放在这边的论文,都是在他看来有点意思的,至少有让他付出时间的价值。Rightthatpileas forplace, the finalhome to return tomostlyis the shredder of office......
至于放在右边的那一堆,最后的归宿大多是办公室的碎纸机……
......
……
After assistant who the papergivesMr.Frank, Lu Zhouthinksmustwait for severaldaysto have the result, has not thoughthappilycomessosudden.
将论文交给弗兰克先生的助手之后,陆舟原本以为怎么也要等几天才会有结果,没想到幸福来的如此突然。In the next daymorning, the assistant of Mr.FrankwellZurchercame to the hotelto findhim, took away the office in buildinghim.
就在第二天的上午,弗兰克维尔泽克先生的助手来酒店找到了他,将他带去了楼的办公室。Butthisvenerableseeshislaterfirst few words is.
而这位老先生见到他之后的第一句话便是。„Youthought that whatthatpossiblyis?”
“你觉得那可能是什么?”Lu Zhousaidwithout hesitation: „Supersymmetry particle!”陆舟毫不犹豫地说道:“超对称粒子!”Actuallythistypeis unlikely, evenhedoes not believe that gadgetpossiblyis the supersymmetry particle, buthemustsay.
其实这种可能性很小,甚至于他自己都不相信那玩意儿可能是超对称粒子,但他必须这么说。Thisisonejokes, likedrawinginvestment.
这是一个噱头,就像拉投资一样。However, Mr.Frankis not obviously goodto flicker, smilesto make noise, shakes the headto say.
然而,弗兰克先生显然没那么好忽悠,笑出声来,摇头道。„Thisis not quite realistic.”
“这不太现实。”„Buthasthispossibility, perhapsitisotherthing, butwhat, has the value that is worth studyingnot?”Lu Zhoucontinues saying that „canmake a bet? Ipay100US dollars, betstheredefinitelyto have anything.”
“但存在这种可能性,也许它是别的东西,但无论是什么,都有值得我们研究的价值不是吗?”陆舟继续说道,“要打赌吗?我出一百美元,赌那里肯定有什么东西。”Hearsto make a bet, thisold man'seyebrowcorner/horntwitchedruthlessly, coughed the sound saying: „Made a betdoes not need.”
听到打赌,这位老头的眉角狠狠地抽搐了下,干咳了声说道:“打赌就不必了。”Lu Zhougawkedslightlyunder.陆舟微微愣了下。Hehas understoodbeforehand, thisvenerablemostlikes the dry/doesmatter is othersmakes a bet, howto transfer the tempersuddenly?
他可是事先了解过,这位老先生最喜欢干的事儿就是和别人打赌,怎么突然就转性子了?Stopped the moment, Frankcontinuesto say.
停顿了片刻,弗兰克继续说道。„Itoyourdiscoverya littleinterest, butalsomerelyisa little. No matter I am whether interested, ernimpossibleisonestartslhwithout the perfecttheory, butyoudo not havesuccessfullyto convinceme.”
“我对你的发现有点兴趣,但也仅仅是有点而已。而且不管我是否有兴趣,ern都不可能为一个未经完善的理论启动lh,而你也没有成功地说服我。”„But, I can you an opportunity, before the end of the monthyoucanmakeyourtheoryis more perfect, then at the end of the monthEuropeannucleonresearchconference, Iwill recommendyouto mount the stageto make a report, reportedyourdiscoverytoPhysics of participationconference. Ifyoucanconvincemewithyourtheoryat that time, Icanconsider that helpsyouconvince others.”
“不过,我可以给你一个机会,在月底之前你可以将你的理论做的更完善一些,然后在月底的欧洲核子研究会议上,我会推荐你上台做个报告,向参与会议的物理学家们报告你的发现。如果那时你能用你的理论说服我,我可以考虑帮你说服其他人。”Saidthese wordstime, Frankhas been staring at the eye of Lu Zhou.
说这句话的时候,弗兰克一直在盯着陆舟的眼睛。Lu Zhouknows,thisold personis waiting foranything.陆舟知道,这位老人在等待着什么。
The deep breath the one breath, Lu Zhouwith the affirmativelook, responded to the anticipation of old person.
深呼吸了一口气,陆舟用肯定的眼神,回应了老人的期待。Buthisreply, only has a word.
而他的回答,只有一个单词。„Good!”
“好!”
