A true scientist's material demands could be limitless. If technologically invincible alien friends really came to Earth to alleviate poverty and asked humanity what it needed, astrophysicists could genuinely answer, "Black holes and white holes."
No matter the era, researchers' material desires in this regard always exceeded their civilization's productive capacity—of course, precisely because of that, such "desire" was nearly the same as having none at all.
At times like this, the decisions of the "leaders" became especially important. The foremost scholars could determine which direction an entire field's manpower and resources should be invested in.
And now, Wang Qi could be considered among their ranks.
"Incompleteness" alone was enough to make everyone look at him differently.
And at this very moment, Wang Qi needed to think carefully as well.
The reply he attached during his next contact with the Immortal Alliance might influence the direction of the entire alliance.
Well, perhaps due to his seniority, his say would not carry much weight.
But Feng Luoyi and Turing would at least take his decision seriously.
And the decisions of those two involved far more.
For this reason, he had to deliberate cautiously.
"The God Method chose string theory. It counts as a 'satisfactory solution,' but absolutely not the 'optimal solution'—after all, there was also a sense of time being tight." Wang Qi pondered. "But since I've boarded string theory's black carriage, I ought to at least walk this road and brave it for a while."
Rather than a physical theory, string theory was more a mathematical model.
If the current system of physics were compared to a grand and splendid highway, then string theory was a little path beside it—it had a great chance of being a shortcut to heaven, but it could also be a dead end.
And even
