Going back early was also to hurry up and make some preparations. After all, it's not easy to apply for funding of tens of billions. Especially for such competitive matters. Being a step behind might mean being ten or twenty years behind.

Such large scientific equipment cannot be built repeatedly. At most, there would be two units in Huaxia, which should be enough. Unless the industrial base becomes more developed, and the cost continues to drop by ninety percent. This is naturally extremely difficult, at least in the current situation, it's not something that can be gambled on.

So everyone went back to grab some time.

The outsiders left, but the building has seemed even livelier in the past two days.

Just every morning when the discussion meeting begins, several offices on the eighth and seventh floors have their windows open, and the downstairs can hear the arguing from upstairs.

The researchers working at the Mathematics Research Institute definitely have a good command of English. After all, for their generation, Qiao Ze was still in middle school when "New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics," a quasi-natural science top journal in the world academic community, was still a thing of the future in Huaxia.

If you don't master English, you can't read those key journal articles at all. Not to mention, most of them have had experiences of overseas exchanges. Using English for daily communication is not a problem.

It's just that the two people arguing upstairs often get quite emotional and speak very quickly. Even though their voices are heard clearly and can easily be recognized as Edward Witten and Peter Schultz, it's really hard to understand what they are arguing about.

But whenever there's arguing upstairs, someone will always go near the window to join in the fun.

Even if it's not very clear, seeing how ordinarily gentle and refined big shots argue and imagining the two upstairs with flushed faces adds some unique fun to the monotonous research life.

For Qiao Ze, who is right on the eighth floor, it also feels quite headache-inducing.

Recently, their love for arguing is naturally not due to personal grievances. In fact, Edward Witten and Peter Schultz have always had a good relationship, and the focal point of their conflict is due to the not-yet-publicly-released Q theory.

The focus of the debate is on differing views regarding the fundamental elements and their mathematical representation concepts in the Quantum Field Theory multidimensional space-time topology network.

There's actually nothing much to argue about on the fundamental elements. They are merely vertices, edges, faces, and bodies. Vertices represent fundamental space-time points in the network, whose nature is composed of quantum states. Based on the properties of quantum states, edges are divided into directed and undirected edges, connecting to vertices.

The closed regions composed of edges are faces, while higher-dimensional quantum correlations are represented by bodies.

This part is not problematic.

But when it comes to mathematical representation, disputes arise.

From graphical representation, adjacency matrix, to chain group, homology group, and then to degeneracy, there's a significant difference in understanding between the two parties.

Simply put, Peter Schultz has been doing extremely rigorous proof work to make all definitions and representations precise and consistent. This is obviously very difficult work. For instance, using homology groups to represent interactions in quantum networks requires providing a rigorous mathematical framework to accurately describe their topological properties.

But Edward Witten believes that at the current stage, such cautious theories are not necessary. Just creating a computational model and using approximation methods can achieve sufficiently accurate results to draw the desired conclusions.

As for the complete mathematical proving process, it can entirely be left for later. Each stage should consider what needs to be considered in that stage.

Clearly, this method is more practical, but in Peter Schultz's view, this idea is absurd. Using approximation methods can easily overlook many potentially crucial topological properties, and it won't contribute to mathematical definitions at all.

In Qiao Ze's view, both ideas have some rationale, but he naturally tends to incline toward Peter Schultz's. After all, having rigorous proof processes aligns more with his consistent approach.

With rigorous mathematical definitions, designing various experimental methods for validation often yields twice the result with half the effort.

Just recently regarding the mathematical deductions for Q theory, he himself has fallen into a quandary, and hence is naturally too lazy to say much. Although good news has been coming one after another, in foundational theory, if he can't accomplish it, it's just not achievable.

He even suspects that Edward Witten and Peter Schultz's recent restless emotions are influenced by him. After all, they were never like this before; they had the scholarly elegance, and most of the time they were calm and composed.

Even when quarreling, it was just a few succinct sentences hitting the core, and it's only recently that they've become exceptionally anxious.

But there's no choice; one of the core theoretical bases of Q theory is to replace or evolve Quantum Field Theory using a quantum multidimensional space-time topology network.

If this problem can't be solved, advancing the Grand Unified Theory would be akin to talking nonsense.

Incorporating the four fundamental forces into a single theoretical framework requires using a new perspective to observe and interpret the world.

This is also the reason why Qiao Ze proposed Q theory.

The only problem is that Qiao Ze on the eighth floor isn't adept at resolving such conceptual biases. Lv Bei and Li Chengze don't understand at all. As for Dou Dou, rather than stopping the two from quarreling, he enjoys watching the commotion.
