The paper Lu Zhou published on arXiv stirred up waves of discussion.
Professor Ohanian's shock was only a tiny part of the chaos in the physics world.
Ohanian quickly booked the flights and hotels and prepared to fly to Shanghai. On the other hand, the entire physics community was going crazy over this amazing paper.
"This is really spectacular. I don't know how to describe the feeling in my heart!"
"As for the paper itself, I think it's too early to give a yes or no answer. I think… At least before Professor Lu's report, it would be inappropriate to give an evaluation… This is out of respect for him."
Professor Wilczek, who loved to bet and debate with colleagues, remained rather silent this time.
Maybe it was because he lost so badly against Lu Zhou before, or maybe because he had missed another chance of winning the Nobel Prize. The uncertainty in the air made him unclear about whether he should express his opinion.
