However, according to our model, the process of proton decay predicted by many grand unification theories has definitely been proven wrong. Of course, this also includes the lower limit for proton lifespan they provided. In fact, protons are far less stable than we think.

Alright, my old friend. I've spoken quite a bit, but you should be able to understand my feelings. The point is, they believe these are the papers worth publishing, allowing everyone to discuss whether what we are building is reasonable, rather than creating accelerators or colliders that can be directly built. Do you understand?"

Edward Witten rambled on.

It was clear Qiao Ze's evaluation of the big shot was truly accurate.

Professor Witten enjoys communicating, discussing his research with the world, which is actually quite good. After all, these things are theoretical and do not involve any secrecy. Especially the propositions of grand unification require verification at higher energy levels.

At least for now, the Q theory at the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is temporarily unable to be verified, just like M theory. It must rely on mathematical derivations and then justify itself.

But actually, this is what highlights the difficulty.

The construction of any theory in mathematics, wanting to justify itself logically, essentially requires a massive amount of proof—a difficulty that can easily be imagined.

Otherwise, it cannot be called a new theory, but merely a new conjecture in the theoretical academic community.

Of course, this does not mean that such communication is meaningless or simply a form of bragging.

In fact, these unverifiable theories inherently need more people involved in research to fill in gaps, helping the whole theory continue to develop. Otherwise, what happens when the original proposer of the theory dies after a hundred years and no one studies it?

Even if many people do not believe, the more people know, the more will certainly be attracted to research.

This is probably the difference in thinking between the elderly and the young.

Whether Qiao Ze or Peter Schultz, both are relatively young compared to Edward Witten and have plenty of time to advance the entire theory. It is even possible that within their lifetime, they might witness science progress enough to validate their theories in a lab, hence there's no need to rush.

Evidently, Edward Witten's rambling work report still played a role.

At least it imperfectly answered the question of why they were reluctant to publish papers regarding the new accelerator theory.

The element of showing off is certainly present.

Proposing a new theory to solve the grand unification theory is a significant temptation for both theoretical mathematicians and physicists.

"Alright, I roughly understand, thank you for your guidance, goodbye, Professor Witten." Karsten Hegge's tone began to turn formal and directly closed the call.

After finishing this, Karsten Hegge closed his eyes and pondered for a while. When he opened them, he saw someone on the other side of the computer video staring at him with an indescribable expression.

"Sorry, without more information, I cannot judge the authenticity of this information. If I have to make a judgment, I think Edward wasn't being truthful."

"Oh? Professor Hegge, do you have any basis for that?"

"No, as I just said, there's insufficient information, and I have no basis. Maybe he was threatened?" Karsten Hegge shrugged and casually offered a reason.

"Hmm? Threatened? The Huaxia people seem to have no reason to threaten Professor Witten."

"Haha, maybe it's a new era's Star Wars plan, who knows? In any case, from what he just said, I know that this country no longer has anyone he cares about."
