There are two kinds of extreme loneliness in the world. One is the eternal silence of the physical universe, where particles collapse, fields flow, and everything rises and falls according to established rules, cold and fair; the other is the boundless chaos of human nerves, where synapses change, signals intertwine, and thousands of unsolvable thoughts are hidden, secret and desolate. The ultimate rationality has built two isolated spiritual wastelands. The world is addicted to secular fireworks, and no one can understand the academic loneliness like the deep sea.
Chun Luoning is deeply involved in computing and systems neuroscience. He went from Harvard to Berlin and finally completed his PhD at Stanford. He has been deconstructing human brain circuits, deducing neural algorithms, and observing the laws of consciousness generation all year round. He is accompanied by data models, synaptic signals, and system logic all day long. She has spent her years exploring the origin of the human heart, dismantling the underlying order of emotions and thinking, and seeing through all the illusions and patterns of consciousness. Her mind has been polished by extremely sophisticated disciplines into a calm, alienated and blank space. Accustomed to confronting the chaotic human brain and living alone in the abyss of academia, I thought that only scientific research and loneliness were left in my life, with no resonance and no common path.
Maxim Igorevich Volkov, immersed in the physical truth of the universe. Born in Moscow, he studied at the Department of Physics of the University of Moscow, Imperial College, and ETH Zurich, specializing in quantum field theory and the standard model of particle physics. He devoted his life to the macroscopic universe and microscopic particles, deducing the rules of the field, verifying the cosmological constants, dismantling the composition of all things, and walking in the cosmic order of absolute rationality and no sorrow or joy. I am used to the constancy and desolation of the physical world, and I have read all the ups and downs in the academic world. I have a loneliness and transparency in my heart that is difficult to match in the world. I do not believe in the shackles of worldly love, but only believe in the constancy of formulas and truth.
A cross-border academic exchange brought her, who had delved deeply into the secret realm of the human brain, into a sudden encounter with him, who was pursuing the truth of the universe.
One interprets human consciousness, and the other explores the eternal rules of heaven and earth. These two extremely rational disciplines may seem to have different paths, but at their core they are both the ultimate search for the origin of the world. They don't talk about worldly affairs, they use academics as their language and reason as their bridge. Through precise deduction and in-depth thinking, they understand each other's loneliness after years of being alone, and get a glimpse of each other's pure true heart beneath their cold outer shell.
The fierce character of Moscow meets the tranquility of Beijing; the grandeur and rigor of Russian physics meet the delicacy and depth of neuroscience. There is no passionate throbbing, only long, restrained, silent soul resonance.
Everyone in the world says that love has a formula, a destination, and a definition. But for them, love never needs to be defined by a secular framework and is not bound by region, knowledge, or national boundaries. Moscow never accepts weak tears, and Beijing never restricts the appearance of love. Two extremely rational loners, across mountains and seas, time zones, disciplinary barriers, and cultural barriers, find the constant tenderness that belongs to each other amidst millions of laws and variables.
With the universe as evidence and the mind as the contract, reason will eventually overcome gentleness, loneliness will eventually find its home, and we will stay together year after year, fulfilling the rest of our lives.
Purpose: Based on the two top rational disciplines of theoretical physics and computational neuroscience, it writes about the two-way fit of transnational high-level souls; it breaks away from the shackles of worldly definitions of love and interprets the most restrained and pure love of extremely rational people; the universe is disordered and people's hearts are unpredictable, but love is the only constant among thousands of variables, proving that true fit does not need to be defined, and the ultimate answer to loneliness is always each other.
