354: Invitation from Professor Yang Zhenning
Guo Hao looked at the email in front of him, Guo Hao was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Professor Witten actually sent him such an email.
With Professor Witten's knowledge and ability, he should have confirmed the existence of the Hao-Xu particle through the detailed data in the paper when he received it!
Why did he still ask me to hold an academic conference?
Guo Hao's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't want to attend any academic conferences in the first place, let alone go to America.
This damn place, it could be said to be at least in the top three of the places Guo Hao disliked the most!
Without thinking too much, Guo Hao replied to Professor Witten with an email.
"Sorry, Professor Witten, for now, I don't want to go to America, and it's impossible to hold an academic conference in America.
If you want to hear more about the Hao-Xu particle, or even more about new Physics, you can come to Dragon Country, and I can hold an academic conference in Dragon Country."
These world-class scholars are also very helpful to Dragon Country's academia.
Guo Hao himself is very capable, but Dragon Country's basic science level is indeed not high enough, although it is already very strong in the application domain.
But in the field of basic science, Dragon Country's development is almost... world second-tier level.
It's not enough just relying on oneself.
To make the communication between Dragon Country's basic science community and the world's basic science community smooth, and to let a large number of big names in the basic science field come to Dragon Country.
That way, it can drive the development of Dragon Country's basic science field.
Therefore, Guo Hao will not refuse these top physicists coming to Dragon Country.
On the contrary, he actually welcomes these top physicists to Dragon Country, and even wishes these top physicists would settle in Dragon Country.
"That's fine, I'll discuss it with a few old friends."
Not long after Guo Hao sent the email, he received a reply from Professor Witten.
"Okay."
After sending this sentence, Guo Hao closed the email.
Just as he was about to continue working.
The phone rang.
"Hello, President Huai, is there something you need me for??"
Guo Hao asked President Huai.
"Professor Guo, it's like this, Professor Yang Zhenning is in my office, and he specifically asked to see you. Do you have time to meet him now?"
President Huai's tone was also a bit hesitant.
Yang Zhenning is also a big shot, and Guo Hao is also a top big shot. He couldn't afford to offend either of them!
"Of course, if you don't have..."
Just as President Huai was about to add a few words.
"Okay, I'll come over now."
Professor Yang Zhenning is a top big shot who shook the Physics world, and Guo Hao also respected Professor Yang Zhenning very much.
Currently, counting all the living physicists in the entire world, perhaps if Yang Zhenning said he ranked second, there would be very few who would dare to say they ranked first.
Even counting all the deceased physicists, Yang Zhenning would absolutely be able to rank in the top ten!
Because this big shot's achievements are simply too many, and every single one is an earth-shattering great achievement!
Even the predecessor of the Standard Model started through his Yang-Mills gauge theory! This result later developed into the Standard Model through the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking by many scholars, and thus became the overall achievement of basic Physics in the latter half of the 20th century.
This alone is enough to be considered the overall achievement of a pioneering scholar.
"That's great!"
Hearing Guo Hao agree, President Huai immediately felt relieved and said to Guo Hao with a smile.
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Guo Hao looked at the work in front of him that hadn't started yet, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
Even after becoming a big shot, there are some things you can't do as you please!
Sometimes you even have to compromise, and sometimes you have to deal with social etiquette.
After all, work has to be carried out, and influence has to be considered.
He didn't turn off the computer.
Guo Hao stood up, went out, and got into the car.
"To the administration building."
Guo Hao said to Xu Yuan.
Not long after, Guo Hao arrived at President Huai's office and met the renowned world's top physicist, Professor Yang Zhenning.
Of course, there was also his Mrs. Zhou, Weng Fan, standing beside him.
Guo Hao had no intention of commenting on the academic master's character.
It was just that seeing Professor Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan sitting together for the first time, he was still slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Professor Yang Zhenning!"
Guo Hao quickly walked up to Professor Yang Zhenning, his face full of smiles, and extended his hand towards Yang Zhenning.
"I've long heard of your great name! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
At this time, Professor Yang Zhenning also stood up with the support of Weng Fan and shook hands with Guo Hao.
Professor Yang Zhenning's eyes were still wise and sharp, and his face also held a smile as he looked at Guo Hao in front of him.
"Professor Guo, I am the one who has truly heard of your great name for a long time! I, this old man who has retired from the Physics world, have heard my old friends talking about your name over the past two years.
I've heard it so much my ears are about to callus! Please forgive my abrupt visit!"
Professor Yang Zhenning's words were very eloquent and polite.
"Don't be so polite! Come, come, everyone, please sit down, please sit down!"
President Huai on the side quickly motioned for the three of them to sit on the sofa.
After Guo Hao and Professor Yang Zhenning were seated separately on the sofa to the side.
As soon as he sat down, Guo Hao asked Professor Yang Zhenning.
"Professor Yang, you've suddenly come to visit today, I wonder if there's something you need help with from a junior like me?"
Guo Hao said with a slight smile.
"Help? You could say so! I came today mainly because of the Hao-Xu particle paper you published this morning.
I spent two or three hours reading that paper and specifically calculated the values once, but no matter how I calculated, I always felt that some places might have some problems!"
Professor Yang Zhenning's expression was solemn.
"I hope you can answer my questions and clear up my doubts for this old man."
"Please speak freely!"
Hearing Yang Zhenning's words, Guo Hao's attitude also became much more serious, and he looked at Yang Zhenning earnestly as he spoke.
He didn't show the slightest slackness just because Professor Yang Zhenning was already over ninety years old this year.
Even at this age, this top big shot's thinking is still very active.
Not inferior to young scholars at all.
Coupled with his extremely rich scientific research knowledge.
Guo Hao dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
"Regarding your Hao-Xu particle, the core meltdown, was it your own decision?"
Just when Guo Hao thought Yang Zhenning was about to ask some very targeted questions.
His one sentence completely bewildered Guo Hao.
President Huai on the side was also stunned for a moment; it seemed he also hadn't expected that Professor Yang Zhenning's first question would actually be this one.
"No."
After a moment of silence, Guo Hao said faintly to Yang Zhenning.
"Professor Yang, if you came to find me today not for academic questions, but to talk about these things, I'm sorry, my time is very precious!"
