Chapter 190 We need a more authoritative reviewer
The two reviewers had every reason to believe that even if they could not understand the entire theory, it was likely to be a correct and subversive theory.
This feeling is a bit like when Einstein just published the theory of relativity.
No one could understand Einstein's theory, and not many people even believed it.
But it was not until several years later that some phenomena were consistent with the theory of relativity and the theory of relativity began to be slowly accepted by everyone.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to talk about this matter with the editor-in-chief of the journal, Boras Barry.
"Mr. Boras Barry, here is a paper that we think may be very subversive. If possible, I hope you can review it."
After receiving news from the two reviewers, Boras Barry took some time out to come to the office and read the paper.
Generally speaking, there is no need for the editor-in-chief to review the article during its initial review.
Since the two reviewers specifically notified him this time, Boras Barry knew that this might be a very special article.
"Is it about the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity?"
Seeing the main content explored in the article, Boras Barry also attached great importance to it.
Anyone familiar with the current developments in the world of physics will know what this theory means.
Moreover, the submitter of this article was Xu You from Hua Xia Jijing University.
Boras Barry is still deeply impressed by this young man from China.
A year ago, Xu Youzheng submitted his first paper to PRL.
At that time, Boras Barry decided to accept the paper and publish it in the journal against all odds.
Later, Xu You's scientific research results were published in major top journals.
A perfect testament to Boras Barry’s vision.
But when Boras Barry continued reading.
However, I found that the content of this article is indeed too obscure.
Originally, Xu You’s theory was very complicated.
Moreover, in order to meet the manuscript standards of PRL.
Xu You also further refined the article to keep it within the required word count.
After reading the entire article, Boras Barry felt that it was similar to the feeling he had when he first read the theory of relativity.
"I'm not a condensed matter physics major. What do you two think of the theory presented in this article?"
The field that Boras Barry studies belongs to quantum physics.
Boras Barry did not conduct very in-depth research on condensed matter physics.
Boras Barry felt that these two reviewers with relevant expertise should be more qualified than himself to make the evaluation.
"Mr. Boras Barry, seriously speaking, we cannot fully understand all the contents of this article. Perhaps we need more authoritative experts to help review it."
"Oh? Even you can't fully understand it?"
Boras Barry was also a little surprised.
These two reviewers are already top experts in their relevant fields.
Before this, it had rarely happened that even the two of them had difficulty understanding a paper.
If it weren’t for the fact that the contributor was Xu You, a young scientist who was already somewhat famous around the world.
Even Bollas Barry might wonder whether the theory introduced in this paper is really as significant as the title suggests.
In this case, Boras Barry also believes that finding more authoritative reviewers to help with the review is a good choice.
Since this is an unpublished paper.
Boras Barry thinks it is better not to involve too many people in the review work.
If possible, it would be best to find another reviewer to help with the review.
"By the way, let's contact Mr. Sage Camara."
Serge Kamara is a true expert in the field of superconductivity, and his professional ability is at least one level higher than those two reviewers.
When problems arise during review, Boras Barry occasionally invites Sage Cámara to help judge.
Retired scientific researchers like Serge Kamara are still very suitable to serve as reviewers.
After receiving the invitation from Boras Barry, Sage Kamara was also very willing to participate in the review.
At the agreed time, Serge Camara arrived at the office of Physical Review Letters.
Because Serge Kamara was a reviewer specially invited by the journal, according to regulations he could not directly send him the electronic version of the manuscript and could only come to the journal office in person to help with the review.
Moreover, this will make it easier for everyone to exchange opinions directly.
"Mr. Barry, please let me see that article!"
Kamala is looking forward to this article and can't wait to read it.
"Mr. Kamara, would you like to take a break for a while?"
After all, Kamala is very old, and Barry is still a little worried about his health.
"No need, I'm fine!"
"Okay, Mr. Kamara, then please help review this manuscript."
Kamala sat in front of the computer and read Xu You's paper.
Like the two previous reviewers, Kamara frowned when he saw the content of the article, and seemed very confused about the content of the article.
After looking at it repeatedly for a while, Kamala said:
"Please help me get the paper and pen."
"Okay, Mr. Kamala."
After taking the paper and pen, Kamala wrote something on the paper.
Barry and the other two didn't dare to disturb them and could only wait quietly.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Time passed by little by little, but Kamala still kept writing on the paper, with no intention of stopping.
The three of them finally couldn't help it and started whispering.
"It's time for lunch. Mr. Kamala, are you really not hungry? Do you want us to talk to him?"
"Yes, it has indeed been too long. Can Mr. Kamara's body bear it?"
Barry also wanted to persuade her, but seeing how serious Kamala was, he decided to wait a little longer.
"Let's wait and see. Mr. Kamara seems to be in good spirits, so there should be no problem. Mr. Kamara might get angry if his train of thought is disturbed."
Barry didn't dare to provoke such a highly qualified scientist easily.
At this moment.
Kamala suddenly shouted:
"What a great theory! The high-temperature superconductivity mechanism that has puzzled us for many years has finally been answered!"
Hearing Kamala's words, Barry and the other two hurried over.
"Mr. Kamara, do you fully understand the theory of the entire article?"
"No, I only understand part of it. But with the knowledge I have, I can prove that part of the theory in the paper is correct."
