Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 105: The last piece of the puzzle

　　There's a very famous joke in the maths world about how physicists use experiments to prove that "odd numbers are all prime numbers".

　　First of all, start the experiment, 1 according to the definition of no need to prove, 3 is a prime number, 5 is a prime number, 7 is a prime number, 9 is an error, 11 is a prime number, 13 is a prime number ......

　　OK, enough experiments, odd numbers are prime, perfect!

　　Then, after a few years of updating the experimental equipment, finally it was possible to verify numbers with more than a hundred digits. It was found that the statistical confidence level of "experimental error" finally exceeded the threshold and could no longer be explained by experimental error, so the theory was patched up to redefine the physics of the hundreds and above.

　　This may sound a bit like the evolutionary history of relativity.

　　But the fact is that theoretical physics, by its very nature, is something so lacking in mathematical beauty.

　　The 750 GeV characteristic peak is in a position similar to a "9 in an odd number", and when it occurs many times, it is an " indication", or even a "discovery". When it suddenly disappears, it becomes an error.

　　Unfortunately, even the upgraded Hadron Collider can only do something like "odd numbers below the hundreds digit".

　　At the end of the meeting, Professor Frank cancelled the research group.

　　Orion's reward was just two journal papers co-signed by Prof Frank and his PhD students.

　　For him, this was definitely bad news.

　　However, Orion does not intend to give up, and he will continue to work on the subject.

　　Maths is the language of God, and Orion believes that maths doesn't lie.

　　Through rigorous calculations, he predicted the appearance of the characteristic peak, and although he did not know why it disappeared, he definitely did not believe that nothing existed there.

　　Otherwise, how can one explain the simultaneous errors on the ATLAS and CMS detectors?

　　Just quantum fluctuations?

　　Then the fluctuations observed by these two detectors at the same time would be a little too big.

　　Originally, he had planned to spend two days in New York, but because of this incident, Orion was not in the mood.

　　That afternoon, he drove back to Princeton from New York.

　　When he returned to his flat, it was already evening, and he happened to meet Molina, who had just returned from a late run. At the moment, she was wearing a black sweatshirt, her blonde tresses damp with sweat, exuding a charm that was very different from her usual demure elegance.

　　Sweeping her eyes over Orion's face as if she could see something, Molina said in a teasing tone.

　　"I can see that you are not in a good mood."

　　"Yeah."

　　Morina raised an eyebrow, her smile somewhat gloating, "Dumped?"

　　"Sort of."

　　Orion replied perfunctorily, pulling out his keys and unlocking the door, going back into his house.

　　Molina stared blankly at his back, at the closed door, and after a long while, she murmured in a small voice.
