I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Princeton University,

Professor Smith had just finished his lecture and was about to return to his office when he was cut off by a group of students. These people asked some questions about gravitational waves and asked Professor Smith to answer them.

For this matter,

Professor Smith was very helpless, let alone the relationship between him and Xu Mang, almost everything would be taken care of for him, including what happened two days ago, Smith still stood by Xu Mang without hesitation, but he also advocated Xu Mang's point of view.

this matter...

I don't think I need to say any more. Many people have expressed their opinions. Some disagree and some agree. In short, it's up to you. Professor Smith said seriously: Don't forget to hand in your homework tomorrow.

...

...

...

Seeing the back of Professor Smith leaving, many people felt helpless. They all said that Professor Smith trusted Xu Mang unconditionally. true rumors.

Many people thought that the reason why Xu Mang joined the Princeton Association for Astrophysics had a lot to do with Professor Smith. He directly made Xu Mang a full member, and at the same time gave him a lot of convenience, including the qualification of a reviewer for a certain award.

Of course, Xu Mang also paid a lot back. Some heavyweight research reports in the field of astrophysics will be published on the Princeton Astrophysics Association.

at this time,

Professor Smith returned to his office. He had just sat down in a chair when suddenly a middle-aged man named Blass, an expert in modern cosmology, specialized in the Big Bang theory.

Brass?

It's very rare... I never thought you would come to my office. Professor Smith said with a smile, Is there anything?

...

Professor Smith!

I hope you can restrain Xu Mang, this guy... this guy is just messing around! Professor Blass said angrily, He...he directly denied that 67.8 plus or minus 0.7 The Hubble constant of seven,

A new value is given, and it is predicted that this value will be confirmed in five years.

Hearing Professor Blass' words, Smith's face was filled with panic. This... What happened?

you...

You don't know yet? Professor Blass asked suspiciously, Hurry up and log in to the official website of the Princeton Astrophysics Association, and you will be able to see Xu Mang's research report. It's just nonsense!

no nonsense,

Professor Smith hurriedly opened the website, and then saw a paper published by Xu Mang. He clicked on it and glanced at it. He froze in place for an instant. No wonder Professor Blass was so angry. Anyone else would have collapsed. .

but...

The Hubble constant of 67.8 plus or minus 0.77 seems to be measured by the European Space Agency ESA.

hehe...

It's interesting! Smith smiled, raised his head and said to Blass: I think it's very good, it's time to end the European Space Agency's right to speak in this regard, let's not talk about what will happen in five years, at least They're having a hard time right now.

...

You...you can tell it's funny? Blass said helplessly, This has a big impact! Now our office is full of noise, and many people have even started to make big moves. Xu Mang's stats have made many people feel overwhelmed. .”

this...

I think you guys are a little bit overwhelmed. Professor Smith said with a smile: Using Cepheid variables or type 1a supernovae before, we got the Hubble constant of 73.2, and changed it to the Hubble constant using the cosmic microwave background radiation belt. Boer constant valuation, your reaction is not so big.

how?

Seeing that Xu Mang proposed it, do you feel that his calculations are wrong? Smith said with a smile, We can't be full of all kinds of prejudices just because he is from Huaguo. We need to seek truth from facts and not be mixed in science. Into the ZZ element.

Blass was speechless for a moment. Indeed...a large part of the reason was because Xu Mang proposed this valuation, and Xu Mang is from Huaguo, so his first reaction was wrong. They are from Huaguo. It is impossible to come up with such a research report.

You think Xu Mang is right? Blass asked.

I have no idea.

If I think it's wrong, I'll provide wrong evidence. Smith said, What do you think is wrong with Xu Mang?

for a while,

Brass sighed silently without any words.

I don't know about the ESA...what's the situation now, is it completely upside down? Blass smiled wryly.

definitely is!

...

France,

Paris,

As the largest city in France and one of the five largest cities in the world, it is the economic and cultural center of Western Europe. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, etc., there are Paris Saint-Germain football clubs and strikers.

certainly,

The headquarters of the European Space Agency is located here.

two o'clock in the morning

There are two young researchers at the ESA headquarters who are working overtime. Their diligence is incompatible with France. As romantic French people, if they know that there are people working overtime at two o'clock in the middle of the night, they may be beaten to death.

Their diligence insulted France and the city of Paris.

What's going on with you?

How is the data collection going? A young man wearing glasses asked a colleague next to him: I have completed everything here, just waiting for the next data analysis. How long is it on your side? It's time to move on to the next link. .”

immediately!

Give me another ten minutes. Another young man with long hair said, Anyway, we have plenty of time, so let's take our time... Do you have a Switch?

No...

I didn't expect the work to be so long. The man with glasses sighed and said helplessly, I would have brought it if I knew it...

well...

The long-haired man smiled wryly and said, Basically, there is nothing to do now. What do you think of Professor Xu Mang from Huaguo? What do you think of him? Is he a hypocrite? I see that many media are That's how it was reported.

The media cannot be trusted.

According to my observation...the Western media are very targeted. I don't know if you have noticed that many reports about Hua Guo and Professor Xu Mang are biased. The man with glasses said seriously: From my From a personal point of view...Professor Xu Mang is actually a good character, but he has been smeared too much by the media.

The long-haired man nodded: There's no way...we have to establish a strong enemy to resolve some of our internal problems in the West, and Professor Xu Mang is the best tool. Contradictory images are created in the mind.

Perhaps the topic was too heavy, and the mood of the two of them also fell into a trough, but fortunately, they recovered quickly.

alright!

Let's get to work! said the long-haired man.

The intense work has begun,

The team of the two is studying the expansion rate of the universe. According to the diameter change of a Cepheid variable star, the distance between it and the earth is calculated, so as to correct the distance between each galaxy and the earth, and even to correct the expansion rate of the universe.

Recently,

The team used optical interferometry to observe the expansion and contraction of the Cepheid variable star Gemini Zeta. This is one of the brightest Cepheid variable stars discovered so far. It is a thousand light-years away from the earth. At present... the progress is very impressive .

for a long time,

half past three in the morning,

The two of them had just finished their work, but they were already exhausted at this time, lying motionless on the chair.

well...

This job is really thankless. Is it because we just joined the job? The man with glasses said bitterly, Leave all the tiring work to us?

Is this still something to think about?

Of course!

words fall,

The long-haired man took out his mobile phone and began to look for some interesting things. On a WhatsApp social software, he noticed a situation. Many people were talking about something related to the Hubble constant.

Huh?

Professor Xu Mang?

He... what did he do again?

According to the chat content of the members in this group, the long-haired man logged into the Princeton Association for Astrophysics, and then saw a brand new paper written by Professor Xu Mang who was afraid of chaos.

this...

This Professor Xu Mang... is he crazy?

for a while,

The young researcher was in a daze. He didn't know how to describe what he saw. Professor Xu Mang actually... actually denied the European Space Agency's value of the Hubble constant, and then provided a value in his opinion.

he...

What is he going to do?

Want to do it right with the European Space Agency?

What's wrong?

Are you watching a detective thriller? The man with glasses noticed the colleague beside him, and said with a smile on his face, I may be different from you, I like Agatha Christie, the great detective Bo Luo, is my favorite character, bar none.

The long-haired man shook his head, and said with a look of horror: I don't know how to describe it, we may be in trouble!

trouble?

us?

Hearing what his colleague said, the man with glasses was a little puzzled, and asked curiously, What happened?

you...

See for yourself!

words fall,

Handed him the phone in his hand.

The man with glasses just glanced at the cell phone that was handed over to him. When he saw the title of the research report, his soul was instantly drained, leaving only an empty body. He couldn't even find any words to describe himself at this moment. Mood.

God!

No... no way?

The Hubble constant measured by the ESA was just... just overthrown by Professor Xu Mang?

this...

How can this be? !

for a while,

There was no other sound in the office except for the panting of the two of them and the faint beating of their hearts.

look up,

Glancing at the opposite colleague, each noticed a trace of panic in the other's eyes.

It's over!

in the morning,

This research report will surely set off stormy waves within ESA. Its appearance...directly negates the achievements of many ESA scientists.

It will definitely cause an academic war!

Will!
