Genius club - #146 - Genius Club Chapter 7 Waiting for a Meteor Shower (1/3)

“Who are you……”

Li Qiqi in the wheelchair blinked and looked at Lin Xian.

Her voice was low and she looked very weak. Under the bright white moonlight, her face became paler.

“I am Liu Feng’s friend, Lin Xian.” Lin Xian introduced himself:

“New friend, just met.”

Li Qiqi tilted her head:

“I’ve never heard Liu Feng talk about you…when did you two meet?”

“Just now.”

Lin Xian answered truthfully:

“Ten minutes ago.”

Poof——

Li Qiqi was amused. She looked at Lin Xian again, but she seemed to be much closer:

“You are such an interesting person. To be honest, not many people are willing to be friends with Liu Feng. Although he is a nice person… his personality is indeed a bit weird.”

“I heard about you from Teacher Qi Yan.” Lin Xian directly explained his purpose.

“so……”

Li Qiqi listened patiently to Lin Xian’s words and looked at him with a smile:

“So, you also believe that Liu Feng’s “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is correct?”

Lin Xian nodded:

“Perhaps we are the only two in the world who firmly believe in this. In fact, I am quite curious… Why does Liu Feng, the creator of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant”, not think that his research is correct? “

“I mentioned this matter when I met Liu Feng just now. He actually admitted that the “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” was wrong very calmly. This is not like the attitude a scholar should have towards his own research.”

“Because… this research result seems to be indeed wrong.” Li Qiqi lowered her head and said:

“From an academic perspective, proving that an inference is correct is difficult because you need to prove that it is correct in every case.”

“But it’s much easier to prove that an inference is wrong. You just need to show that it is wrong in any one situation, and then it must be wrong.”

Lin Xian was surprised by Li Qiqi’s words.

He originally thought that Li Qiqi could write the words on the card, so she must firmly believe that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is correct.

Even if she is irrational, at least her own thoughts should be firm.

But to hear her say this…

It seems that she is not so determined.

What exactly is going on?

“Do you also think that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is wrong?” Lin Xian asked.

“I don’t think it’s wrong.”

Li Qiqi shook her head:

“But…Liu Feng and Teacher Qi have done many verification experiments, and the results are the same every time…both prove that the “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is wrong.”

“Even after graduation, Liu Feng himself studied for a long time and experimented many times. But no matter how many times he tried, the results were the same. They were all wrong, and he never got it right.”

…

I see.

Only then did Lin Xian understand why Liu Feng had such an attitude just now.

It seems that I have made things simple.

He originally thought that Liu Feng and Professor Xu Yun were both unrecognized, unsupported, and misunderstood…

but it is not the truth.

“Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” Both Liu Feng himself and teacher Qi Yan have done countless experiments to verify it. …. .

The results were all disappointing and proved this introduction wrong.

The problems Liu Feng faced were not practical issues such as sponsorship, funding, and laboratories, but the more cruel problem… his introduction was simply incorrect.

It’s like being at the dock and never waiting for the plane.

Liu Feng’s research direction is wrong, and he will indeed never get the correct answer in his life.

But what’s puzzling is…

Since Qi Yan, Liu Feng, and countless experimental data have proven that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is wrong, and even Li Qiqi himself knows this, why does Li Qiqi still firmly believe that this introduction is correct?

This is too contradictory.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xian’s doubts, Li Qiqi continued:

“But even if all experimental data shows that Liu Feng is wrong, I still don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“Because Liu Feng’s derivation of the cosmological constant is so beautiful.” Li Qiqi smiled sweetly:

“Although I can’t understand those derivations, they are really beautiful, just like music.”

“Although I did not major in mathematics in college, I also used a lot of mathematical and physical formulas in my astronomy major. Without exception…these formulas are very beautiful. I think this is the most magical thing in the universe. Its Every correct theorem is beautiful.”

“Euler’s formula, Pythagorean theorem, mass-energy equation…these formulas are all beautiful, as if they were made by man, so exquisite, so simple, and so correct.”

“And Liu Feng’s derivation of the cosmological constant is also like this.”

Speaking of Liu Feng, Li Qiqi’s face was filled with pride and happiness:

“Its derivation is also very beautiful. I think there should be such a thing in the universe. Even though many experiments have proven it to be wrong… but is it possible that the thing that is wrong is not the cosmological constant, but the current human understanding– u003eu003e

Do you know? “

“Sorry, it’s hard for me to explain this intuition.”

She smiled sheepishly and looked at Lin Xian:

“I know it’s a bit absurd to use beauty to define whether a formula is correct, but… nature and the universe itself are beautiful and exquisite, and I think it should be so.”

…

Lin Xian also nodded.

Li Qiqi’s idea is indeed interesting.

Indeed, whether it is physics or mathematics, any correct formula is beautiful.

This kind of beauty is difficult to express.

This may be what everyone often calls the romance of science students.

Now let’s see.

Lin Xian didn’t know what the problem was with “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant”.

Everyone in the world thinks it’s wrong.

But it turns out it must be right.

Is it really what Li Qiqi said…

[It’s not the cosmological constant that’s wrong, but human cognition? 】

Things are really getting more and more interesting.

“I really want to help Liu Feng continue his research. Can you help me persuade him?”

Lin Xian looked at Li Qiqi in the wheelchair and explained:

“Since we both think that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is correct… I think our purpose is the same at this point. Maybe give Liu Feng more funds and a better laboratory. He might really What results can be obtained from the research?”… .

“I told Liu Feng about this just now, but he refused directly. In fact, I didn’t understand it.”

Lin Xian spread his hands and continued:

“Isn’t he working so hard now delivering food and tutoring just to make money? Then with my funding, it won’t prevent him from doing research, and it won’t delay him from spending time with you. Why not?”

Talking about this, Li Qiqi sighed:

“Liu Feng has been hit hard over the years. Coupled with my illness…he himself doesn’t think his research is correct. How can he have the nerve to take your funding?”

“To tell you the truth, Liu Feng has not done any mathematics research for nearly a year. He works day and night and makes money, just like a broken clock. The hands are still running, but the rhythm is different. it is wrong.”

“I also want to do something for Liu Feng, but you can see that I am like this…I can’t do anything. I think the only thing I can do…is to leave this world as soon as possible and no longer delay Liu Feng’s life. “

“No, no, no, don’t think like that.”

Lin Xian waved his hands quickly and advised:

“You have to have confidence in the current scientific development, especially in this period. Countries all over the world are conducting research in the field of hibernation cabins. Maybe the prototype of hibernation cabins will be out within a year or two, and then you can directly hibernate and go to the future. It won’t be cured by treatment.”

Li Qiqi just lowered her head and smiled:

“Actually, I haven’t thought that far. My only wish and only regret… is that I want to see a [Meteor Shower] before I die.”

“I have loved meteor showers since I was a child, but I mostly saw them on TV and never observed them in reality. I applied for the astronomy major in college because I liked meteor showers.”

“But… after I really learned these astronomical knowledge, I discovered that the real meteor shower is not like what I saw in TV dramas. The duration of meteors is very short, and most meteors can last in the night sky for as long as It only lasts for a second or two, so things like meteor showers are simply something that everyone imagines and do not exist in reality. “

…

Lin Xian didn’t speak.

He knew that what Li Qiqi said was true.

Generally speaking, meteor showers in astronomy are completely different from the meteor showers in everyone’s mind.

The normal time for a meteor to burn in the atmosphere is within one second, which can reach only a handful of seconds.

The flow of meteor showers is actually very small. If there can be dozens or nearly a hundred meteors per hour, it is considered a large-scale meteor shower.

So to sum it up, it is very likely that if you stare at the sky all night according to the time announced by the news, you will not see any meteors.

Maybe in the blink of an eye, a shooting star will pass by.

Not to mention the legendary meteor shower.

Meteor shower is a typical product with full ideals and skinny reality.

therefore.

Li Qiqi, a major in astronomy, should know this very well.

She will never see the meteor shower she imagined in her lifetime, just like Liu Feng’s “Introduction to the Cosmological Constants”… until the world is destroyed 600 years later, it will still be regarded as a worthless, complete book. Wrong garbage. …. .

Inexplicable.

Lin Xian thought again of the little card written by Li Qiqi to Liu Feng in the book 600 years later.

Meteor showers were also mentioned above.

“What are your plans if you really can see the meteor shower?” Lin Xian looked at Li Qiqi.

“Then I must make a wish.” Li Qiqi looked up at the dark, starless sky and smiled:

“[I will make a wish to let people all over the world know what an amazing achievement the cosmological constant is, and let the world know that Liu Feng is right.]”

really……

Matched the number with the little card in the book.

Lin Xian sighed inwardly and looked at the night sky with Li Qiqi:

“Has Liu Feng’s “Introduction to Cosmological Constants” been published?”

Li Qiqi shook her head:

“No.”

“He didn’t even fight for it –u003eu003e

one time? Or send the manuscript to the publisher? “

“nor.”

Li Qiqi shook her head again:

“Now, Liu Feng himself thinks that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is wrong. Of course he will not do these things.”

“Too.”

Lin Xian figured out the logic clearly.

The current root cause still lies with Liu Feng himself… He himself does not believe that he is right, so naturally he will not seek consensus and approval, and naturally has no interest in his own funding.

It’s just that now the problem is even more complicated and confusing——

Since this book has indeed never been published, where was the ancient book dug up 600 years later?

“Ahem…”

The night wind blew by, and Li Qiqi coughed twice weakly.

She raised her head, looked at Lin Xian, and pointed to the room:

“Sorry, I have to go back.”

“Well, take care of yourself.”

Lin Xian waved goodbye to her:

“Good night.”

…

2:00.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——

The sound of a motorcycle approaching and eventually stalling in the yard opened the door.

“You’re back~”

Inside the room, Li Qiqi turned her wheelchair around and looked at Liu Feng who took off his take-out helmet with a smile.

On the dining table in the middle of the living room, there are two simple dishes and a bowl of porridge.

“Why don’t you go to bed early? You don’t have to prepare food for me. I can just eat whatever I want.”

Liu Feng hung his helmet on the wall, took off his take-out vest, and rubbed his hair that was flattened and clinging to his scalp.

“I’ve been sleeping all day, hehe, I can’t just sleep all day long.”

Li Qiqi shook her wheelchair and called Liu Feng to come and sit down:

“Hurry up and sit down and eat. It’s been hot for several times.”

Liu Feng sat at the dining table, took the chopsticks from Li Qiqi, and started eating:

“The temperature is probably going to drop again in the past few days. If you go to the yard, remember to wear more clothes.”

Li Qiqi nodded and looked at Liu Feng who was eating a big meal with a smile:

“Don’t worry, I will take care of myself when you are not at home. Speaking of which… I met a very interesting person while enjoying the breeze in the yard tonight, and we had a great time chatting.”

Liu Feng picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth:

“The law and order in this area is not very good. Don’t talk to strangers.”

“I’m not a child!” Li Qiqi snorted:

“And… that person is not a bad person, he is a very good person.”

“How do you know he’s a good guy?”

“He said “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is correct!” Li Qiqi said happily.

“…”

Liu Feng’s chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and the potato shreds he picked up were dangling feebly in the air.

There was a pause of about two seconds.

Liu Feng put the shredded potatoes into his mouth, took a big bite of the steamed bun, and started chewing:

“If you say “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is correct, you are a good person?”

“Yeah!” Li Qiqi nodded and smiled:

“In my opinion, he is a good person.”

“You…” Liu Feng smiled weakly and continued to eat with his head down:

“According to you, the whole world is full of bad people.”

“including me.”
