回家之後。
因為馬上就要過年，施工隊已經放假回家了，姐姐不用去實驗室監工，加上剛出院，一直在家好好的靜養。
小白和阿福在沙發上陪她。
小圓一直很介意Sal說的事，去年秋天，什麼事來着，她也不是一點有用的消息都沒聽到，就比如Sal提到的那個密度理論。
姐姐的名字加關鍵詞。
那篇報道很快的跳出來了。

Abstract
For over a decade, the Density Gradient Theory (DGT) has served as a cornerstone for modeling shear-thickening behaviors in complex fluid systems. This study systematically dismantles DGT’s foundational equations through multiphase lattice Boltzmann simulations and experimental rheological data. Our findings reveal critical flaws in DGT’s assumption of isotropic particle interactions, demonstrating a 42% deviation from observed phase separation patterns in colloidal suspensions. Tragically, this theoretical collapse invalidates 137 published studies and has precipitated unforeseen consequences, including the retraction of Dr. Roald West’s seminal 2018 *Nature* paper, which subsequently led to her suicide. Principal investigator Persephone Feng subsequently developed severe alcohol dependency as confirmed by Caltech Counseling Center records. She was hospitalized at Huntington Memorial Hospital for alcohol-related cardiomyopathy in 2024.

Key Findings
1. Mathematical Contradictions
- DGT’s core equation \( \nabla \rho = \kappa \dot{\gamma}^2 \) fails to account for asymmetric boundary conditions (Fig. 3a).
- Monte Carlo simulations show 68% of predicted shear bands never materialize.
2. Experimental Discrepancies
- Silica-polyethylene glycol systems exhibit reverse shear thinning when DGT predicts thickening (Table 2).
- Synchrotron X-ray scattering reveals particle clustering patterns diametrically opposed to DGT models.
3. Domino Effect
- West’s "Shear-Activated Nanocomposite" theory (DOI:10.1038/s41586-018-0665-2), entirely DGT-dependent, was retracted on February 28, 2024. Surveillance footage shows Dr. West destroying her lab before jumping from the Cavendish Laboratory rooftop.

Author’s Note
Handwritten annotations in draft manuscripts reveal: "When the viscosity curves refused to converge, ethanol became my control variable." Medical records confirm ethanol dependency developed post-publication as a coping mechanism.

Ethical Epilogue
This tragedy necessitates urgent reforms:
- Mandatory mental health support for researchers confronting paradigm-shifting failures
- Blockchain-based raw data authentication to prevent confirmation bias
- A memorial fund in Dr. West’s name for post-crisis academic rehabilitation

Commentary from 《Nature》 Editorial Board:
"Dr. Feng’s self-immolation of her life’s work forces us to confront academia’s brutal truth: brilliance and fragility often share the same lab bench."
