章節 660: CERN's Vote

While the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was conducting experiments on "sonoluminescence" and "acoustic" fusion, a seminar regarding the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap was currently being held at the CERN headquarters in Switzerland.

Not a lot of people were attending this conference. Basically, all of them were top physicists, and more than half of them had won the Nobel Prize before.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if someone blew up this conference room, it would set back physics research by decades…

After Witten entered the conference room, he found a low-key position to sit down. He looked at another scholar sitting at the conference table.

Peter Higgs!

The godfather of subatomic particles!

Ever since Higgs returned to the UK from CERN in 2013, he rarely appeared in the public now. He was now 91 years old, so Witten didn't expect to see him here.
