Friend, have you chased the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem"?
If not, you can chase it during the Spring Festival and test whether the physical DNA in your body is excited and frenzied.
Circle of friends of a physics major (excerpt)
Scientific instruments with a "very high degree of reduction" can be seen everywhere in the play -
For example, Yang Dong's Liangxiang accelerator for particle collision experiments was framed by the Beijing positron collider of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
There is also the Miyun Radio Observatory of the National Astronomical Observatory located in Miyun Bulaotun, Beijing, which is not familiar to the eyes?

Right! This is where Wang Miao observes the cosmic background radiation data.
Here, he was surprised to find that what Shen Yufei said was true: "The whole universe is shining for you. ”
All kinds of real framing, the Lord doesn't care if we don't know, friends who study physics are really happy to watch!
Not only the scenes mentioned at the beginning, but also the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem", stuffed with a variety of Easter eggs, should not be missed.
A lot of Easter eggs, all part of the plan
Easter eggs are part of the plan for the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem".
Following the above-mentioned live-action shooting, what are the details in the play that are extremely restored and in line with scientific experiments?
Zhihu netizen @Hyperion and Yang Dong in the play are "peers", former members of the Beijing Spectrum International Cooperation Group.
He mentioned that the particle physics experiment results obtained from the Liangxiang accelerator in Yang Dong's hand could almost be fake.
Because that is the operating status report of the Beijing spectrometer II (the universal magnetic spectrometer on the Beijing electron-positron collider), the top circle is the "BES-II Run Status Report".
As can be seen from the red circle on the right, the energy of positrons is 1855.464MeV, and the energy can be dispersed 2365keV.
The chart in the lower half of the experimental results shows the beam intensity of positive and negative electrons in the accelerator over time.

@Hyperion also testified that when Yang Dong was on duty, the charts and data displayed on the computer screen were real particle physics experiments.

He directly posed the picture of the Beijing spectrometer duty room he had taken, and Ge You was lying down with his teammates on duty.
And after Yang Dong failed three experiments, he sent his mentor a "fatal" fax that shattered the foreign scientist's faith.
Zoom in on this experimental chart:
Although the above experimental results are not real, the information shown in the figure is indeed the mass spectrum (J/ψeμ)) of J/ψ particles decaying to electrons e and muon μ).
In the histogram on the left, the abscissa is the invariant mass of electrons and muions, and the ordinate is the number of cases.
The peak of the entire curve convex corresponds to the mass of the J/ψ particles of 3.097 GeV.
When the plot developed to the point where Wang Miao stopped the nano experiment, several barrages floated in front of him:
Nano Center Real Shot!
Regarding this, another Zhihu netizen @Jisa College Leng Zhe also revealed that the National Nanoscience Center gave the green light to the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem".
Watching the drama, you will find that when the picture of this scene was filmed, it seemed that yellow slides were added in front of the camera, and everything was soaked in yellow light.
@Jisa College Leng Zhe Take what I saw when I went to the Danish Nano Center as an example, and several clean rooms there used yellow glass.
The main purpose is to filter light, prevent other light from affecting the photoresist, and avoid exposure to these materials by ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet light.
(Photoresist refers to a resistant engraving film material whose solubility changes through ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, X-ray, etc.)
Simply understood, it can be associated with Wang Miao's old-fashioned darkroom shrouded in red light in the play, which is also to protect the film negative.
To talk about authenticity, the film side of the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" may think, it is better to fill the details a little more.
So the play also mentions many observatories that did not appear on camera, but really existed, distributed throughout the country.
Wang Miao drove along Jingmi Road to Miyun County, then turned to Black Dragon Pond, and walked another winding mountain road to the radio astronomy observation base of the National Astronomical Observation Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He saw twenty-eight nine-meter-diameter parabolic antennas lined up in the twilight, like a spectacular line of steel plants, and two tall 50-meter aperture radio telescope antennas built in 2006 stood at the end of this row of nine-meter antennas. ”
In addition to the Beijing Bulaotun Observatory, another observatory is mentioned.
After Sha Ruishan, who appeared in the fifth episode, saw the fluctuations of cosmic background radiation, the thief funnily expressed his inner excitement (manual dog head).
Before that, in order to confirm the data, he frantically called the Urumqi radio observation base.
In reality, in the South Mountain of Urumqi, Xinjiang, there is indeed a radio base that looks up at the starry sky for mankind.
Because of Zhizi's interference with the instrument, the radio base in Urumqi has also observed the flickering of the universe.
In addition, although it only flashes in the lines, the six field observatories mentioned, such as Qinghai Delingha Radio Observatory and Jiangsu Xuyi Observatory, are all "in the compilation" members of the Purple Mountain Observatory.
Not only the scene has a prototype, but even the shape of the character has a prototype.
Zhihu netizen @Li Ruo pointed out that the image of physicist Ding Yi in the play may refer to He Song, a researcher at the Institute of Theory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He Song is an expert in string theory and scattering amplitude, and is one of the authors of CH's theorem, which is evaluated as "the researcher most like a theoretical physicist in the Institute of Theory".
While grasping the big, the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" did not make it small.
Douban and Weibo netizens are discussing their findings, and the footage in different era backgrounds is trying to grasp the details.
In the 60s of the last century, where the young Ye Wenjie lived, the computer used perforated paper tape as a storage medium, which seems to be researched.
By 2007, computers were all classic Windows XP systems.
Even mentioned in the original book that Shen Yufei's family has an HP RX8620 minicomputer, and the crew doesn't know where to exchange for a similar-looking one.
The realism brought by more prop settings will not be repeated here, but I still want to mention the other small Easter eggs buried in the play.
After all, the opening screen arranges the audience with a specific angle of the Voyager 1 probe.
The "don't answer" that appears in the first episode, the encoding after Pinyin also corresponds to the "Concise Comparison Table of Chinese Character Encoding".
(Note: "Don't answer," is the warning of the Trisolarans, Listener 1379, to the human world.) ）
There is also a simple and crude evil taste of the film side (no), naming Yang Dong's foreign scientist mentor Manfei.
Is this a tribute to Richard Feynman!
In episode 8, Wang Miao recalled that among the people who participated in the scientific boundary party, there was Pan Jianzhong, who studied quantum optics, and said that "it has been all reports about him recently", which must be Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
There is also a Easter egg that is not a physics, but a science fiction egg.
The original character Hu Xiaoxi, who appears in episode nine, goes by the pen name "Poet of Chuantuo", who is also the capital of the "Galactic Empire" in Asimov's "Base" series.
Ah, there are a lot of Easter eggs, the list is endless, if you find anything else, welcome to help tell Daga in the comment area ~
Behind the luxury consultant team
So the question is, how does the three-body crew understand so much?
Let's take a look at the consultant team behind it, remember that there was news of a 20-member scientist advisory group during the filming that year.
We pulled directly to the scrolling subtitles that flashed at the end of the credits, with special acknowledgements:
and the Scientific Advisory section:
Tsinghua, Fudan, Institute of High Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nano Center, Meteorological Bureau, Planetarium, these should not need to be introduced.
China Satcom Group, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, is the only satellite communication operator in mainland China with communication satellite resources and independent and controllable.
The School of Enlightenment is a scientific communication platform for the Yangtze River Delta Center of the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Among the personal consultants, the friends who follow the drama also said that they saw familiar names from it.
Wei Hongxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, often appears in major science popularization events and is also the winner of the "Top Ten Science Communication Figures" in 2020.
Wang Yuanzhuo, a researcher at the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is also a long-term commitment to popular science. After the release of Liu Cixin's other adaptation "The Wandering Earth", he became popular with several hand-drawn drawings that popularized the knowledge in the movie for his daughter, and was known as "hardcore scientist daddy".
Gou Lijun, a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory, led the team to make an accurate measurement of the first star-rated black hole "Cygnus X-1" discovered by mankind and appeared in Science, known as "the person who 'painted' the black hole"
……
Special mention should be made here is Liu Qian, a doctoral supervisor at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
According to the sharing of Zhihu user @Dongfengqiao, teacher Liu Qian is mainly responsible for docking and answering the doubts of the crew.
Looking at the detailed information that Teacher Liu Qian gave to the crew, it is not surprising that it can be filmed to this extent in the end.
After the broadcast, the crew did not forget to continue to popularize science for everyone.
On the Weibo account of the character Wang Miao in the play, there will be small cards for the broadcast content of the day every day.
If you don't understand anything when watching the play, you can take a look.
In the later unaired plots, there will be many famous scenes related to science.
For example, in a three-body game, a human-column computer is composed of soldiers forming logic gates to perform binary calculations.
Another example is the "Guzheng Action", that is, the nanomaterial "flying blade" studied by Wang Miao entered the actual combat (more will not be spoiled).
According to the official "drama chasing calendar", Operation Guzheng will appear in episode 29.
I believe the crew will not disappoint everyone (you better not!). ）。
One More Thing
There is a genius mathematician Wei Cheng in the play, who has not appeared in many scenes at present.
It is the one who is always calculating problems and talking to people without leaving the scratch paper.
He is calculating the three-body problem, the survival problem faced by the three-body people.
There are 3 suns on the three-body planet, and their interaction causes chaotic phenomena that cause unpredictable trajectories, variable temperatures and light, and various ecological disasters.
In reality, the three-body problem is a century-old mathematical puzzle, first proposed by Newton.
Since then, many famous mathematicians such as Euler, Lagrange, and Poisson have been able to calculate special solutions under certain conditions.
Until Poincaré discovered the chaotic phenomenon and proved that the three-body problem could not be solved analytically.
Still, scientists have made some progress with the help of computers and statistics.
For the "non-hierarchical three-body system" formed by three objects with no hierarchical mass gap, after a long period of evolution, there is one state that is most likely to occur -
One of the bodies eventually escapes, and the other two evolve into a regular, predictable "binary star" system. This process is called Decay of the Trisomy System (Decay).
In other words, if the Trisolarans wait long enough, one of the suns will be thrown out.
In 2019, Nicholas Stone et al. of the Hebrew University in Israel came up with a statistical closure solution to the non-hierarchical three-body problem.
In 2021, Barak Kol, also a physics professor from the Hebrew University, improved his theory for 19 years and predicted the probability of an individual escape.
If the Trisolarans get these results, they may not need to invade Earth (dog heads).
