Chapter 33

This is an opportunity to show off in front of Xiaofei. Unbeknownst to him, quite a few people had gathered outside the classroom to listen in, some of them even from higher grades.

The problem is, at a time like this, the most opportune moment is also the riskiest. Playing the fool in a crowd of geniuses is absolutely disastrous.

Chen Xiu stood up, "Doctor, I believe that space and time have mass. This is based on the principle of the existence of matter, but we need to discover a new unit to define it."

It was clear that he was the youngest, and Chen Xiu was not unknown. In the physics department, everyone knew that a young prodigy had arrived, much like Xiaofei in her early days.

Xiaofei smiled a little. At this moment, Zhang Shan stood up, "I don't need a new unit to define it; rather, there is a conceptual error. The concept of mass itself comes from the old worldview, which should be discarded. Only by breaking free from this constraint can we discover new continents."

Xiaofei nodded slightly. As soon as these two spoke, everyone else fell silent, knowing that these were the people from the physics department's 007.

Yao Ailun had already switched to black-rimmed glasses. Yao was quite particular about wearing different glasses for different occasions.

"Time is the movement of space. To understand space, I think we should start with time, as the key lies in the changes."

Although everyone had a certain foundation, they were still dealing with concepts. However, at such moments, one's direction becomes more apparent.

These three were already famous figures in high school. This time, they all came to the God of War Academy because of Xiaofei. From their first words, it was clear whose insights were superior.

Xiaofei looked around. The others were eager, but they lacked the material to contribute at critical moments, which was a headache for her. Inspiration needs to collide, but it often doesn't, which can also deplete her inspiration.

"Those who stay close to vermilion turn red, and those who stay close to ink turn black."

"Wang Zheng, what do you think?"

Xiaofei looked at Wang Zheng, who was still deeply engrossed in his own world.

Zhang Shan quickly kicked Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng immediately jumped up, "Here!"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Xiaofei didn't, and she even seemed a bit expectant.

No matter what, they were comrades in the same trench. Yao Ailun quickly told Wang Zheng the question, as they also wanted to see what he was capable of.

"I have an immature idea. I believe the root of the current mainstream view is wrong. It can still be applicable for general understanding, but for the study of physics, including space physics, we need to establish the correct worldview. Concepts like mass, space, and time are too narrow, being based on three or at most four dimensions."

Wang Zheng said, and immediately, there was a buzz of discussion. Damn, he really had the nerve to challenge a worldview that had been in place for decades.

"Explain your view. In my class, stupidity is forbidden, but mistakes are not feared," Xiaofei said.

"Like Newton's laws, which became inapplicable after the theory of relativity, the same applies now. We need to concretize the theory of thirteen dimensions. Concepts like mass, space, and time are based on three or at most four dimensions. Lauren Li's warp theory is a concrete manifestation of the theory of thirteen dimensions, though it only uses up to six dimensions. The theory is ahead of reality. Personally, I think we should take a leap. Since the warp theory has been proven correct, why not be bolder and assume that the theory of thirteen dimensions is also correct? We can then deduce the concrete manifestations of time, space, and mass under this theory, which is the direction of current physics research and is not contradictory."

When Wang Zheng finished speaking, the entire classroom fell silent. The children... were stunned.

His tone was filled with a sense of overwhelming Lauren Li, truly outdoing him.

The problem was, most of the people in the room understood a bit and found it reasonable, but also unreasonable. After all, many had never read the warp theory, even though they were familiar with it, understanding it was another matter.

"Have you read Lauren Li's warp theory?" Xiaofei asked.

"I've read it a few times. It was indeed a great achievement in its time."

This wasn't Wang Zheng's opinion; it was the conclusion after being brainwashed by Old Jia. Times have changed, and the warp theory is outdated. Humans need to look further, but unfortunately, there are too many fools, according to Old Jia.

Xiaofei smiled, her expression and tone exactly like her younger self, but even more arrogant. At the time, she had greatly admired Lauren Li.

The others were a bit stunned. Was this guy just showing off? Could he really understand it, and read it multiple times???

"I agree with Wang Zheng. The essence of modern physics is wrong, confining our thoughts. Today, I want to tell you that in my class, there are no constraints. A new era of physics begins today!"

Applause erupted. Wang Zheng felt a burning sensation on his back, wishing he could slap himself. His mouth was too loose, saying too much. Wasn't he just digging his own grave?

Old Jia, the troublemaker, had made him accustomed to arguing, and he couldn't control himself at the start.

The bell rang, and everyone was a bit reluctant to leave. Unfortunately, Dr. Xiaofei didn't like giving meaningless answers. Questions could be left on her public communication platform, and she would only answer the meaningful ones.

"Wang Zheng, come with me!"

Wang Zheng was still plotting with his roommates to take advantage of the moment and invite the girls out, but Xiaofei's command had already come.

Watching the two leave, the 007 trio was a bit frustrated.

"If this continues, we won't have a life. The dorm leader has a monopoly!"

"Right, as comrades in the same trench, we should share the burden!"

"To prevent him from dying young!" Chen Xiu added, "I'm young, so I can take on more!"

Zhang Shan and Yao Ailun immediately squashed the young one.

In Xiaofei's office, she casually threw off her coat and sat lazily in her chair, her curves evident. Seeing Wang Zheng's surprise, she smiled, "As a teacher, I need to be mindful, but formal wear is too uncomfortable."

Wang Zheng was a bit embarrassed. He was still a student, after all.

"Doctor, what do you need?"

"Oh, you're quite cooperative today. I don't care about your mecha studies, but you can't miss my class, and you must complete the tasks I assign." Xiaofei warned.

Wang Zheng could only nod. His life was in the hands of this beautiful teacher, and he wouldn't dare to defy her.

"I will serve you to the best of my ability!"

"Not that dramatic. Your thinking is on the right track, which is rare. But do you know the essential condition to become a physicist?"

Xiaofei was testing Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. As someone who didn't want to be a physicist, this question was quite challenging.

"Mathematics. In the early stages of physics, theories are like castles in the air, and laws need numbers to be verified. One person's ability is limited, so you should visit the mathematics department more often. You might meet like-minded people."

Wang Zheng's head was spinning. He hated formulas and the like, which consumed a lot of time, but now, whatever Xiaofei said was law.

"Here, take these materials to Dr. Marcus in the mathematics department. Remember to make a good impression!"

Xiaofei patted Wang Zheng, clearly placing high hopes on him. Time was on her side, and she would guide Wang Zheng back on the right path, showing him that mecha battles were trivial compared to the vast ocean of science.

Wang Zheng took the materials and fled, grateful for Xiaofei's recognition but knowing he wasn't cut out for research. His knowledge of physics was just a byproduct of chatting with the elderly, and once it got serious, he would be exposed.

In a fourth-year mathematics class, Marcus was writing on the blackboard, "This problem is the key for this semester. Whoever solves it gets an A+!"

This was Marcus's style. He would offer a "reward" at the start of the semester, and the first student to complete it would get the best grade.

It must be said that while Earth wasn't at the highest level in science, it was still among the best and hadn't fallen behind as quickly as in other areas.

The students were excited. Solving this challenge would not only improve their grades but also make them famous.

In any field, there is competition and pride.

Wang Zheng searched for a while before finding Marcus's office. Marcus looked to be in his sixties, with messy hair like a haystack, and was quite unkempt.

"Professor Marcus, these are the materials Professor Xiaofei asked me to give you."

Marcus didn't even look up. The pile of papers on his desk was already taller than a person. "Put them on the table and go."

"Oh, right, there's a calculation sheet under the podium in T-6 classroom. Take it to Xiaofei and tell her she owes me a favor."

"Yes, Professor."

Wang Zheng always respected these scientists who worked with numbers, but if it came to him, he would politely decline.

Finding T-6 classroom, he saw that most students had already left. He found the calculation sheet under the podium and, turning around, saw the problem on the wall.

Wang Zheng glanced at it and couldn't help but stay. In the past, Old Jia would give him problems every week, rewarding him for correct answers and punishing him for wrong ones. Since Old Jia had fled with the money, his life had become quite dull.

This problem seemed interesting.

It was part of a calculation group, like the extended solution of the Romeo equation, as Old Jia had once said.

Wang Zheng started writing on the blackboard, and the seven or eight students who hadn't left saw a physics student working on their turf, thinking he was overstepping his bounds!

Throughout history, physicists have always received the most recognition for the same achievements, but what many don't know is that many groundbreaking physical laws were derived from mathematical calculations. Many mathematicians' efforts made these laws possible. Without them, physics would be just talk.
