【889.00d⊙】

【67.d⊙】

On the manuscript paper, Xu Chuan was a little confused by the huge difference between the two sets of figures.

What he calculated this time was the diameter of Betelgeuse, not something else. Why are there two numbers?

Even if the two sets of different boundary values ​​and eigenvalues ​​are substituted, there should not be such a big problem.

The first group is close to 890 times the d⊙ diameter, which is normal and completely consistent with the current calculations of Betelgeuse in the astronomical community.

But the second group is only 67.5 times the d⊙ diameter, which is completely inconsistent with the historical observation data of the diameter of Betelgeuse.

It cannot be that so many observational data and calculation data in the past astronomy are wrong, nor can the laws of universal gravitation, gravitational redshift, and photometric calculation methods be wrong.

This unscientific.

.......

For a star, two sets of diameter data are calculated.

This was outrageous. Xu Chuan immediately suspected that there was something wrong with the xu-weyl-berry theorem derived from his calculation process.

One planet, two diameters, this is impossible.

This is just like 1 1 is not equal to 2. The obvious truth has been broken, so the first person to be doubted is naturally the person who broke the truth.

Xu Chuan was the same. The first thing he suspected was whether there was something wrong with his calculation formula and calculation process.

This is normal. In physics, if something challenges people's familiar common sense, then there is a high probability that there is something wrong with it.

Just like no matter how wrong the mathematics is, the universal truth of 1 1 = 2 cannot be overturned.

But after he carefully checked his calculation process and calculation formulas, he raised his head in confusion.

Judging from repeated checks, there were no problems with his calculations, and there were no errors in the data entered before and after.

But the calculation results showed exactly two.

There is no problem with the calculation process, and there is no problem with the calculation formula. It is impossible for a planet to have two diameters. So, is the problem with the collected Betelgeuse data?

After confirming that there was no problem with his calculations, Xu Chuan immediately turned his suspicious eyes on Betelgeuse's various information data.

After the calculation process, calculation speed and other factors are eliminated, the observation data of Betelgeuse is the most doubtful.

It's not that he thinks that the seniors in the astronomy department gave him a batch of problematic or falsified data. The probability is still quite small.

After all, there is no need to bother to fake the data information that can be obtained through various astronomical equipment.

Moreover, falsifying data in a scientific research project is a very serious matter. If he falsifies data in an experiment and is found out, once it is revealed and others find out, it will not be as simple as being unable to graduate.

The year before last, in 2014, a fraud incident that shocked the world broke out in the small island country next door.

In January 2014, a research team led by Haruko Obokata, who was called a "national treasure" and "Marie Curie of the island nation" by the small island nation, announced that it had successfully produced a new "universal cell" called STAP cells.

The production method is very simple. The cells taken out from the mouse spleen are soaked in a weakly acidic solution with a pH similar to that of black tea for 25 minutes. New cells appear after a few days of culture.

This new cell was called a universal cell by Obokata Haruko.

What are multipotent cells?

That is, combined with cloning technology, universal cells can be developed into cells, tissues or organs whose genetic characteristics exactly match those of the patient.

Such as heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, skin, eyes, etc.

If such cells could be produced, it would be tantamount to having a new life for those suffering from various cancers or diseases.

After all, cells taken from one's own body can evolve into various organs after reverse culture. If the cells are then transplanted into one's own body, it can be said that there will be no rejection reaction.

Therefore, at the time, this achievement was considered an epoch-making achievement that subverted the common sense of life sciences. Many people even believed that the next Nobel Prize in Biology must be awarded to Haruko Obokata.

After all, this achievement is more than Nobel Prize-level. If it comes true, it will benefit the whole world.

Subsequently, on January 29, 2014, the research results were published in the electronic version of the scientific journal Nature, which further confirmed the authenticity of this experiment.

So the island was cheered at home and abroad.

After the paper was published, it quickly caused a huge sensation. Such a great achievement naturally attracted the attention of all parties. Major media reported on it. The scientific community in other countries also had expectations for the huge potential brought by this achievement.

The value generated is even more imaginative.

But soon, external experts pointed out that the images in the paper published by Obokata Haruko were unnatural and suspected to have been processed.

In addition, some foreign colleagues repeated experiments using the methods introduced in the paper, but were unable to reproduce the results.

Including Obokata Haruko herself, no one can repeat the experiment to produce the results in the paper.

Then public opinions abounded, and the small island nation began to check for itself. The higher the profile, the more likely it is that problems will occur. The higher the status, the worse the fall.

In the end, the scandal of Haruko Obokata's academic fraud, the STAP cell incident, which caused a sensation in the academic world, was settled on December 19, 2014. It was finally concluded that Haruko Obokata had committed academic misconduct such as duplication of experimental data.

That is ‘fake’.

Obokata Haruko's doctoral supervisor believed too much in Obokata Haruko, and ultimately could not bear the blow of public opinion and committed suicide.

But before he died, he still believed in his students, and the suicide note he left behind was that he hoped Obokata Haruko could recreate STAP cells.

All I can say is that I was deceived terribly.

This fraud incident brought a devastating blow to the small island country's "Ambei Economics" and "Regenerative Cell Research" experiments.

The mentor committed suicide, Obokata Haruko was revoked from her doctorate, the university was in dust, and the status of "Nature" fell...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A series of impacts are caused by Obokata Haruko’s fraud.

But the funny thing is that Obokata Haruko never thinks that she is fake.

Although she admitted at the press conference that there were many "mistakes" in the paper, she emphasized that the stap phenomenon is a fact that has been confirmed many times.

However, since the publication of the paper, she has never repeated the successful stap experiment phenomenon.

.......

Xu Chuan does not think that several PhD fellows in the Department of Astronomy gave him false data, but on this basis, there is indeed something wrong with Betelgeuse's data.

So either astronomical experiments have collected problematic data, or Betelgeuse itself may have problems.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chuan couldn't determine where the problem was.

However, he can rule it out and use mathematical tools to make inferential diagnoses.

Mathematics cannot lie.

After sorting out the manuscript paper on the table, Xu Chuan started writing again, first isolating this set of problematic data, and then recalculating the observation data of Betelgeuse.

[Calculated from data at 11:23 on March 26, 2016, the diameter of Betelgeuse is: 889.00d⊙]

[Calculated from data at 10:37 on March 27, 2016, the diameter of Betelgeuse is: 889.00d⊙]

[Calculated from data at 2:03 on March 27, 2016, the diameter of Betelgeuse is: 889.00d⊙]

[Calculated from data at 11:36 on March 28, 2016, the diameter of Betelgeuse is:...]

【March 29, 2016...】

.......

It took Xu Chuan more than six hours to complete the calculations with a total of sixteen rough data in his hand.

But except for the number [67.d⊙] that appeared for the first time, in the remaining fifteen points of data, the diameter of Betelgeuse is around 889d⊙.

There is a difference in the exact number at the end, but the difference is not big. This is caused by Betelgeuse's expansion or contraction every moment due to star activity.

At the same time, these data also confirm that the xu-weyl-berry theorem can calculate stellar data through eigenvalues ​​and boundary values.

But this also made Xu Chuan even more confused. Is it really because there is something wrong with the set of data collected during the first calculation?

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan started writing again, substituted the values ​​used in the first calculation into the calculation formula and calculated it again.

As a result, two sets of solutions still emerged.

A set【889.00d⊙】

A group【67.d⊙】

"What's going on?"

Staring at the calculated data again on the manuscript paper, Xu Chuan scratched his chin.

By now, he could rule out that there was a problem with his own calculations. He had also used more than a dozen sets of data to rule out problems with the Betelgeuse star and the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem. Then there was only one possibility left.

That means there is a problem with the experimental data during the first calculation. There may be measurement errors or other problems?

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan dragged the computer from the side and created a new execl table. He dragged the first set of calculated experimental data and the subsequent fifteen sets of experimental data into the table and compared them.

In this case, direct comparison is one of the fastest ways to find the problem.

With his sensitivity to numbers, as long as there is a problem with these values, he will definitely be able to find it.

Sure enough, after browsing through the values ​​of each item, Xu Chuan's eyes were fixed on the execl table.

In the ninth line, there is a significant reduction in the amount of infrared radiation. Correspondingly, the brightness of Betelgeuse has increased by 1.5 visual magnitudes.

In the eleventh row, the original diameter also has a clear gap in comparison, and the gap reaches nearly forty solar diameters.
