"Is this what a black hole should look like?"
Sissoko was even more surprised than Kip Thorne. The professor in front of him was an authority in astrophysics and gravitational physics. If there is anyone who has the most thorough research on black holes and wormholes in the current physics community, it is not Kip Thorne.
None other than Thorne.
I'm not Sissoko's superstitious authority, but even Professor Thorne said that the black hole described in "Deep Space" is what a black hole should be, which means that YU's description of black holes is correct, even advanced.
Why is this happening?
Kip Thorne seemed to know the question in Sissoko's mind and said with a smile, "Why the black hole looks like this is a long story. As for why YU can describe it so appropriately, I will have to read the novel to find out.
.Maybe he just guessed it by chance... This possibility is relatively small, because his description is very detailed, and you can guess it without making a blind guess. I am more willing to believe that he consulted a large amount of information and then made a reasonable guess.
."
"Is this possible?" Sissoko asked doubtfully, "I mean, can you deduce what a black hole looks like just by looking up the information?"
"Of course it is possible. As long as you are willing to look for it, you can always find the information you need. Many of the information we study are actually public. But if you want to deduce the appearance of a black hole based on that information, I am afraid you need a little extra ability...
It requires at least a little spatial imagination.”
After that, Kip Thorne pointed to "Deep Space" in his hand and said, "Can you lend me this book? I want to see why the author speculated on the appearance of black holes and his description of wormholes.
."
"Of course." Sissoko smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, how should I return it to you after reading it?"
"Professor Thorne, I know your office. I will just go find you when the time comes."
"Okay, then you can come find me in two days. I should have finished reading by then. I have something else to do now, so I'll leave first. I'll see you in two days."
After saying that, Kip Thorne took the book and left. After he left for a while, Sissoko patted his head and said, "Why do I want him to return it? It's just a book. Give it to me directly."
He is."
However, Professor Thorne just said clearly that he had no time to read, but now he has borrowed the book for a while. It seems that he has really become interested in this novel.
Sissoko was in a good mood at the moment. Although Professor Thorne's words subverted his understanding of black holes, they also proved how powerful YU was.
He is a senior science fiction fan. Before YU became popular, he often paid attention to science fiction novels during the period when the science fiction market was relatively sluggish.
Later, when the YU Umbrella Association opened a branch in Los Angeles, he was among the first members.
After chatting with Thorne now, he was in a good mood and was going to visit the branch office to see what everyone thought of the new book, and by the way, share Professor Thorne's views on "Deep Space" with other members.
…
In the editorial office of The New Yorker, Eric went to the editor-in-chief's office with the manuscript he had just received.
Editor-in-chief Hunter Ross had just made himself a cup of coffee. When he saw Eric coming to him with the manuscript, he asked: "Eric, what's the matter?"
"Dominique's manuscript, I want to show it to you."
"Is there anything special?" Hunter took the manuscript, "Is there something wrong with Dominic's manuscript this time?"
Dominic is a columnist and has cooperated with their magazine a lot, often publishing articles in the technology section.
It’s quite interesting to say that Dominic used to specialize in literary criticism, but his literary criticism articles were never very popular. Later, he found a new way and began to popularize scientific and technological knowledge, which actually attracted more readers.
Now Dominic has become a well-known popular science writer, and is currently planning to publish his popular science collection.
Eric explained, "His article this time is related to "Deep Space"."
"Isn't that great? "Deep Space" is getting a lot of attention right now. We should be happy that Dominic is willing to capture this hot spot."
"But the problem is, I don't know which section I should post this article in. Although it is a review of a novel, it involves a lot of scientific and technological knowledge. Moreover, this article is not very friendly and raises a lot of questions about "Deep Space".
"
Hunter frowned and nodded, "Let me read the article he wrote first."
"Okay, the article is not long, I will wait here."
After a while, Hunter finished reading the article, smiled and shook his head, "This Dominic has written a few popular science articles, and he really thinks he is a scientist."
In the article, Dominic questioned the description of black holes and wormholes in "Deep Space"... It can't even be said to be a question, but a criticism.
However, in Dominic's original words, it should be a correction. He felt that YU's description of wormholes and black holes was too taken for granted and mostly made up. Therefore, based on a strict scientific research attitude, he conducted some research on some of the scientific knowledge involved.
Corrected.
Hunter actually didn't know whether YU's description of the black hole was right or not. He laughed because he thought it was unreasonable for Dominic to be so realistic about a science fiction novel.
Moreover, Hunter knows better than anyone what level Dominic is. Although he is regarded as a professional science writer by readers, his scientific foundation is not solid.
The articles he wrote were first read in some popular science books or related papers, and then written in relatively easy-to-understand language.
The reason why it is liked by readers is that it is interesting and easy to understand.
This time Dominic dared to touch upon subjects such as black holes and wormholes. He was very brave.
"Hunter, how's it going?" Eric asked.
Hunter nodded, "Send it, send it directly to the technology section. The literary review section is too related to YU these days, so leave some space."
"okay, I get it."
Eric turned to leave, but Hunter suddenly stopped him again, "Forget it, let's post it in the literary review section. For the science and technology section, we still have to try our best to verify the correctness of the knowledge involved, otherwise we will easily get into trouble.
Upper body."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay."
Eric smiled. Of course he understood what Hunter meant. If it was posted in the literary review section, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, literary reviews are the same as movie reviews. It often happens that you scold me and I scold you.
Literary criticism is inherently a subjective matter, at least that's what most people think.
…
"Hey Hey."
In Yu Dong's office, Jia Zhangke stood in front of Yu Dong, not speaking, just laughing.
This smile is silly but also adulterous, adulterous yet silly, very weird.
Yu Dong was a little panicked by this kid's laughter and asked, "Are you a ghost?"
Jia Zhangke finally put away his silly smile and put on another flattering smile, "Brother Dong, I want to ask you a favor."
It turned out that he was asking for something. Yu Dong smiled and said, "Tell me, what else is going on? Isn't "The Tuner" already filmed? The rest is editing, and I can't help you with this."
"There's also a soundtrack."
"Soundtrack?" Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "I can't help you with this. You see, there is something about my whole body that has something to do with music? Besides, your soundtrack should be ready, right? This is all finished.
Did you just remember this?"
"There were some preparations before, but after the movie was shot, the effect was so good. The performance of actors such as Brother Yunlong and others exceeded my expectations, and even my own performance exceeded expectations, so the soundtrack prepared before was inferior.
That's interesting. This person always has some higher pursuits."
Jia Zhangke chuckled and continued, "Also, Brother Dong, don't be humble. How can you have nothing to do with music? Teacher Cheng is a musician, so he is the embodiment of music. You are living your life with music."
"You originally had this idea, but it's useless for you to flatter me, and Teacher Cheng can't hear it. Besides, Teacher Cheng doesn't know much about film scores. What help can she give you?"
Jia Zhangke said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, absolutely yes. Teacher Cheng is the best piano player at Jinyi. I want her to record a piece of music for me and give me some artistic guidance...the music I prepared before
They're all too ordinary. Maybe Teacher Cheng can give you some better choices. Brother Dong, you know, I'm not very good at music."
Not only music, but also painting.
When Jia Zhangke showed the storyboard to Yu Dong, he almost made Yu Dong vomit blood. Yu Dong originally thought that Jia Zhangke hangs out with art and director students every day, so his paintings shouldn't be too exaggerated.
I didn't expect to be able to draw so poorly.
Yu Dong even wondered whether Jia Zhangke had discussed with Jiang Wen. The square figures he drew were similar in appearance to Jiang Wen's stick figures.
"Who did you hear about Teacher Cheng's great piano playing?"
"Who else should I listen to? Who among us at Jinyi doesn't know that Teacher Cheng is a good player, and I saw Teacher Liu Shikun when you got married last time. I heard that Teacher Cheng learned piano from Teacher Liu before."
"You know quite a lot, even Liu Shikun?"
"I don't know him either, I just heard it from others."
Yu Dong nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Teacher Cheng about this later. As for whether it can be done, it depends on her."
"Then thank you Brother Dong." Hearing that Yu Dong agreed to help him ask, Jia Zhangke was very happy and said, "Brother Dong, I don't want this help from Teacher Cheng to be in vain. Although the film funding is not much, I also know that Teacher Cheng
There is definitely no shortage of money, but I will definitely express my sincerity to the greatest extent."
"Who said you, Teacher Cheng, are not short of money?" Yu Dong said with a smile, "Teacher Cheng and I are in charge of our own finances. We all buy groceries alone."
Jia Zhangke curled his lips, "You don't usually fire much, don't you often run to Anren Street..."
"You kid——"
Yu Dong picked up a book from the table and pretended to throw it at Jia Zhangke. The guy had already run to the door with his neck scrunched up, and he didn't forget to shout back, "Brother Dong, don't forget about this. I'll wait for your good news."
When Jia Zhangke disappeared, Yu Dong smiled and put down the book in his hand, "This kid."
He really didn't lie to Jia Zhangke. After he and Cheng Yanqiu got married, they did manage their own finances.
It was not a special agreement, but no one said anything about it. Cheng Yanqiu neither said that he would manage Yu Dong's money nor that he would not spend Yu Dong's money.
The main reason is that Cheng Yanqiu doesn't have many places to spend money. Apart from daily expenses, what she buys the most is clothes.
Her own salary is quite high, so there is no need for Yu Dong to spend money on her.
As for the soundtrack, Yu Dong thinks it’s pretty good.
He knows his wife's talent better than anyone else, and scoring movies is also an opportunity to display her talents, so he plans to go back tonight and ask Cheng Yanqiu if he is willing to take this job.
…
When Cheng Yanqiu arrived home, he heard the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong coming from the kitchen and smelled the aroma of vegetables.
I ran over with doubts and saw Yu Dong wearing an apron and cooking.
When Yu Dong saw Cheng Yanqiu coming back, he said with a smile, "Comrade Luoluo, wait a moment, the feast prepared by the kitchen will be served shortly."
Cheng Yanqiu chuckled, "This apron belongs to me, it's too weird for you to wear it."
Her apron is pink, covered with floral flowers, and is relatively small, so it looks very funny when tied to Yu Dong.
"I couldn't find my apron, so I'll make do with yours."
Cheng Yanqiu stepped forward and opened the cabinet above, "I saw it was a little dirty, so I washed it and put it in the cabinet for you."
"I'll know next time."
"Why did you think of cooking? Didn't you say you were going to your parents' place to eat?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I called my parents and told them that it's not good to go to their place to eat all the time. We usually eat simple, but we have to be busy when we go, which will delay their playing mahjong."
Cheng Yanqiu looked at Yu Dong with a smile, "No, something feels wrong. We didn't go home to eat before, we always went to the canteen. Today you took the initiative to cook without saying anything, and you made it so rich.
"
"Is it rich?"
"This is not rich enough. One stewed radish, one shredded pork with celery, and half a roasted chicken. How can we eat so much for the two of us? You must have something going on, so hurry up and call me truthfully."
"Haha, I do have something to tell you, but cooking has nothing to do with what I'm going to say. I just see that it's hard for you to have so many classes every day, so I'll reward you by cooking."
Cheng Yanqiu showed an expression that I knew well, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Isn't it the movie Xiao Jia made? I want you to get some music for him. You've also read the script. It's just some piano music. I want you to advise the director on which songs are better, and then help him record it."
"That's it?"
"I've told you about this. Cooking has nothing to do with what I'm about to say. But I think it's a good thing. I don't think you usually write some music. Maybe you can put it in and use it.
."
"My songs are all written casually, there's nothing special about them."
"I think it's pretty good, the mood is very full. Although it's not suitable for playing in the concert hall, the soundtrack is very good. In fact, I have always thought that you have a talent for scoring. Although the songs you write are very simple, they can always express emotions very appropriately.
, touching people's hearts." Yu Dong said sincerely.
Cheng Yanqiu bent his eyes and smiled, "Okay, I agree with Xiao Jia's matter. If you continue to praise me like this, I won't know which side is facing north."
Yu Dong pointed to the kitchen door, "That side faces north."
