October 28, 2007, No. 3 Teaching Building, Tiandu University "Please turn the textbook in your hand to the second section on page 39" An instructor wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses is holding a physics-related book in one hand and teaching his students in a multimedia classroom.
At this time, the instructor looked very young, with a concise ponytail tied with a strand of red rope on the back of his head, and the whole person looked like a fairy character who came out of the book, looking like a teacher in the art department, without the style of an ordinary physics professor and an old pedant.
Except for a few girls in the classroom who have been looking at him eagerly, most of the rest of the boys are quite lacking in interest, and even some of them are sleeping directly on the desk.
"Then, after reviewing this section, let's move on to page 45 of the " "Purr" I don't know if it's because the classroom is too quiet, in addition to the voice of the instructor himself, there seems to be another voice coming to disrupt the situation A student who was asleep on the second-to-last row of desks snored like thunder, and almost instantly, most of the students in the classroom turned their heads to look at the snoring "warrior" with a little amusement.
The accompanying student stabbed the sleeping one sitting next to him with his elbow in some embarrassment, and the snoring student shook his body and woke up suddenly, only to find that the entire classroom, including the professor who was lecturing, was staring at him with a smiling expression.
The student opened his mouth, and cold sweat trickled down his head at once, after all, to be admitted to Tiandu University, at least there was no shortage of observation, and he knew what was going on almost the moment he woke up.
"Old Teacher Me" "It seems that the content of my lecture is too boring" The instructor hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not pursue the meaning of this student, but said with a little self-deprecation: "Your seniors in the past, probably until the third class, there will be the existence of sleeping in class, and this sixth class will appear, which is very face-saving for me." ” The instructor's witty words obviously brought a burst of laughter, and then he continued: "But there is no way, professional knowledge is always boring, you are only freshmen now, and the knowledge you can access is still relatively basic, and this knowledge is not too difficult for you to be admitted to Tiandu University with your own ability, the only drawback is just boring." ” "However, with the gradual deepening and progression of knowledge, as a physics student, you will always be exposed to more and more advanced and unfathomable physical theories.
"Some of you may give up because of your weak will, you may stop somewhere because of your lack of talent, or you may really be suitable for physics, fight your way out of the pile of corpses of countless fallen predecessors, and finally bear your own sweet fruit, of course, even the proud sons of heaven here, such people are not one in a hundred."
"However, it is foreseeable that this four-year professional physics course will become a nightmare for most students in their lives."
Seeing that most of the students were frightened by their own descriptions, a hint of cunning flashed in the instructor's originally peaceful eyes, and he changed his words: "However, before you experience such a terrifying nightmare, you may wish to listen to me talk about some interesting topics and relax."
"Although the seemingly delicious fruits in the temple of physics are often accompanied by sharp spikes, and most of the professional physics theories are boring, the inferences and hypotheses pointed to by these boring formulas are often dressed in a charming coat, which is what we physicists are fascinated by."
"Why was the universe born and why will it be destroyed?"
"Is Faster Than the Speed of Light Really Capable of Reversing Time?"
"Does a parallel universe exist, are we the only intelligent life in this vast universe?"
"These fascinating questions are like juicy flesh wrapped in the seed of truth, attracting the attention of every seeker who wants to seek the truth."
"So, has the professor found the answers to these questions?"
a voice suddenly appeared, causing the instructor's mind to be slightly confused.
He looked fixedly, and the owner of the voice that raised his hand to ask questions was a rather immature freshman boy, he was wearing a very plain plaid shirt and a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses, but his skin was very fair, and the color of the black-rimmed glasses was in sharp contrast to the appearance of a standard weak and good student, the instructor thought in his heart.
After a deep sigh, the instructor slowly replied: "No, no, this classmate's truth in this world is endless, but human energy is not. ” "Our seemingly thousands of years of splendid civilization is not worth mentioning in the face of such a huge scale since the birth of the universe, and the truth we have mastered is actually just a drop in the ocean, let alone an individual with a short life."
"A person's life span is too short to know the answers to all his curious questions, what we can do is to intercept a very small part of these many questions as our own research direction, and this small question may even consume our life."
"I'm just one of those creatures, and I still haven't figured out a single problem."
"And you, you may eventually find some answers, but before you can find your own questions."
After class, the instructor was packing up his courseware, and after he was ready to pack up, he left directly.
But the boy who asked him a question in class stopped him: "Professor." ” The instructor turned his head and looked at the boy inquiringly.
"I'm sorry to delay your break, but I'm interested in what you said about the wormhole in space."
The boy smiled shyly and slowly said what he meant: "Do you have time to talk to me a little?"
"Of course, I'm welcome."
The instructor was a little surprised by the student's enthusiasm, but he still nodded happily and said, "I know you, you always sit in the first row every time you have physics class, and you are the one who takes the most serious notes." ” "Do wormholes really exist, Professor, we can really travel through time and space" The smile on the instructor's face slowly faded, replaced by a trace of trance, he subconsciously touched the red rope tied to the back of his head, and said lightly: "I think it should exist, otherwise" "In that case, why has it been so long, but still no one has been able to find the wormhole?"
the boy asked with interest.
"Students, many times, when we are thinking about a macro problem, we always make a mistake and look at the problem from the same macro perspective."
The instructor patiently explained: "For example, some grand propositions about the universe, time and space" "Interestingly, however, the answers we want to get at the macro level are often hidden in the micro level."
"The fact that a wormhole could be passed through by an intact human may not exist does not mean that the wormhole itself is nonsense" "Maybe in the microscopic world, elementary particles can travel freely in different space, space and universe."
"And this is the quantum world."
The "Quantum World" boy's eyes gradually brightened, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, professor, I may have found my own problem" The instructor looked at the immature big boy in front of him with some amusement, his eyes softened, and he said softly: "Don't decide the second half of your life so quickly, you still have a long way to go." ” "Thank you, Professor" The boy was about to leave, but the instructor stopped him who was about to turn around for some reason, and asked, "Hey, classmate, what's your name?"
The boy was stunned, then smiled heartily and said seriously: "My name" "Bai Xuyan
