Chapter 648 The Upsurge Caused by Gravitational Waves
""The existence of gravitational waves is the prediction of Einstein's general relativity theory of space-time, and the direct detection of gravitational waves is the last and most important missing piece of the puzzle to verify the general theory of relativity, which has since opened a new era of gravitational wave astronomy and cosmology. So we
It is no exaggeration to say that the direct detection of gravitational waves is a historic milestone in human physics, science and technology," said Academician Luo with emotion.
Reporters focused their cameras on the black hole collision renderings in the hands of Academician Luo! In the dark universe, two black holes that could be turned white gradually approached along mysterious trajectories, and then collided! At first glance, they looked like Hua Hua.
The Chinese classical Tai Chi diagram is quite similar, which caused a burst of exclamations from reporters at the scene.
"We have written an article about this discovery and published it in the latest issue of Nature! We look forward to further discussions with experts in global gravitational wave research!" Academician Luo's speech came to an end and the press conference entered.
Go to the reporter’s Q&A session.
"Professor Lu, it can be seen from this rendering that the situation when black holes collide coincides with the Chinese Tai Chi! Does this mean that gravitational waves have been anticipated by our ancestors?" A young reporter said at the station
He stood up and asked excitedly.
Lu Qiujian frowned slightly! But after attending too many press conferences, he would always encounter these unreliable reporters. If he got angry, he wouldn't have to do anything else! After a while, he answered in a happy mood.
Said, “What happens when double black holes merge and celestial bodies with extremely high mass ratio merge?
After computer post-processing, the city's data can indeed produce a picture similar to the Tai Chi diagram, so our country named the future gravitational wave detection satellite group plan the Tai Chi plan! But there is no doubt that gravitational waves were first proposed by Einstein!
Our ancestors don’t have much to do with each other!”
The reporter sat down in disappointment. There are always some people in the world who like to combine the latest scientific and technological achievements with ancient metaphysics and philosophy to achieve their own goals! But Lu Qiujian has no obligation to cooperate with them.
"Professor Lu, congratulations on leading the Xihe Project team to achieve major results again!" Feng Hongqi's question is a bit more reliable. The Tianqin Project is indeed affiliated with the Xihe Project, so it is okay for him to say so, "
So what I want to ask is what do you think are the chances of winning the Nobel Prize for this achievement?"
"The Nobel Prize is the best reward for the hard work of scientists! But scientific research should not just focus on the Nobel Prize!" Lu Qiujian has got what he wants through dark matter, and whether he can do it again
I don’t care much about winning the second prize anymore! Even if the Nobel Committee is willing to find a way to award myself the award, I’m afraid
I am afraid that he will not go to the spot to collect it, "This time, through thousands of continuous observations every night, we have obtained tangible evidence of the existence of gravitational waves! This is a milestone achievement in the history of human science! This is
This is the real purpose of our Tianqin project. As for whether we will win the prize, that is secondary!"
"Professor Lu! What is the practical significance of this discovery?"
"Professor Lu, can you tell me the next step of the Tianqin Project?"
"Professor Lu"
All the reporters asked questions to Lu Qiujian. Academician Luo and Director Guo became spectators, but they had no grudges about it! They knew that if it weren't for Lu Qiujian, they would not have the chance to stand here! Now
Their names have been written in the author column of "Nature", and their contributions will be seen and recognized by scientists around the world. This is enough for them.
Lu Qiujian's time was precious. He had to rush back to Chang'an overnight to continue supervising the preparations for a new experiment of controllable nuclear fusion, so the question-and-answer session ended in less than an hour!
After bidding farewell to Academician Luo, Director Guo and others, Lu Qiujian quickly rushed to Chang'an on a special train, while Feng Hongqi and other reporters also quickly sent the news they had interviewed back to the unit; after a while, many questions about gravitational waves appeared on their scarves.
news.
Although the vast majority of scarf users don’t understand what gravitational waves are? But as long as they see the articles in the article such as “milestone achievements in the history of science”, “Nobel Prize-level results”, and “proven that Einstein is
Words like "the theory of predictions in the theory of relativity" are enough!
Although I can't understand it, my intuition tells me that this must be a very powerful achievement! In other words, this is a high-level unknown power! They all went to Lu Qiujian's bib account to prepare rumors, but they saw Lu Qiujian
Jian just sent a message, "Congratulations to Tian Qin
The planned gravitational wave observatory defeated the Ligo detector of the United States, the Virgo detector of Italy, the Geo600 detector of Germany, and the Neon Tama300 detector to become the first research institution in the world to confirm the existence of gravitational waves!"
This long list of extremely high-end detector names coupled with the names of the countries in front of them quickly aroused the passion of netizens, who all forwarded and commented on this scarf.
"Congratulations to Professor Lu! Congratulations to the Tianqin Project team!"
"Congratulations to the Chinese scientists for their great achievement!"
"Seeing this news immediately inspired my enthusiasm for scientific research! Should I apply for the Physics Department of Beijing Normal University next year?"
"Look at the top student on the right! Come on, brother, top student!"
"We don't want to see Tai Chi pictures! We want to see pictures of male gods!"
The comments started as usual, and the message sent by Lu Qiujian quickly became a hot topic, with the number of forwards and comments rising again and again! In just one day, this message brought Lu Qiujian
The number of fans increased by nearly one million, once again surpassing the second place in the fan rankings! Among a large group of entertainment stars in the fan rankings, the name of the scientist Lu Qiujian is particularly eye-catching and enviable.
!
It’s a pity that the reward function for scarves has not yet been launched. Otherwise, Lu Qiujian might be able to buy a house in Chang’an City just by relying on the rewards from this scarf!
However, there are not only sincere blessings and thanks on Weibo, but also many people are beginning to think about how to use this news to benefit themselves.
These people hit it off with some unscrupulous media, and soon some things appeared on their neck scarves that made people in the scientific community seem dumbfounded!
Chapter completed!
