As his words fell, Lu Zhou had already turned toward the whiteboard behind him, and the marker in his hand began to move.
With the soft scratch of the tip across the whiteboard, lines of equations flowed from his sharp strokes, as though they possessed some mysterious magic that held everyone's gaze.
[V1=(12)(mu+md)ΨΨ+(12)(mu-md)(uu-dd)]
[Mπ2=(12)(mu+md)<0|ΨΨ|0>Fπ2]
[...]
Drawing the tip back half an inch, Lu Zhou looked at the few lines of equations on the whiteboard. A smile gradually emerged in his eyes, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad.
It felt wonderful, as though he had already set one foot into the mysterious void and drawn infinitely close to the edge of truth.
Although that might have sounded boastful, it was genuinely how he felt at that moment.
After spending ten seconds savoring the feeling, Lu Zhou drew a deep breath, and concentration returned to his eyes. The pen held between his fingers moved once more, following thoughts that seemed connected to the universe itself...
To drag this fundamental particle hidden in hyperspace out of its higher-dimensional shell, the real difficulty lay in performing abstract calculations on higher-dimensional space.
In physics, however, any calculations involving problems of this kind became exceedingly complicated.
At the same time, the calculations involved an extremely complicated gauge hierarchy problem, requiring a collection of quantities on the order of 10^38 GeV to produce a result on the order of 10^2 to 10^3 GeV.
Whether in logical or numerical calculations, this problem was a formidable test of a physicist's mathematical foundations.
Fortunately, Lu Zhou was a mathematician to begin with.
The "mathematical grand unified theory" also helped him enormously with this problem. One could even say that it directly reduced the difficulty by an entire dimension.
Many abstract things could not be represented through concrete diagrams at
