Huaxia, Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, morning.
Edward Witten hung up the phone and came to almost the same conclusion as Karsten Hegge: He probably didn't have many friends left in his homeland.
Very helpless, yet very realistic.
There must always be distinctions between close and distant relations.
The most important thing is, Edward Witten even felt that these old pals were sometimes somewhat clueless.
Over the past few days, this group of people had actively contacted him to inquire about the new accelerator theory, but now they hung up on him...
It seems being too enthusiastic was ultimately a mistake.
For a moment, Edward Witten even felt somewhat envious of Qiao Ze.
Burying oneself in research, having no social interactions is actually a good thing. At least one's mood won't be affected by some inexplicable people with some inexplicable actions.
