Dear Editor,Obesity has nowadays become a global public health challenge due to its rapidly growing prevalence and interconnection with a wide spectrum of comorbidities.

THE Missing Gun is a shortstory by another author, anddirector Lu Chuan adaptedit to a film, the scenario ofwhich he later expanded into a100,000-character novel.

The analysis relies on five dimensional Kaluza-Klein spacetime and a Lagrangian constrained by an auxiliary condition. Employing the Lagrangian multiplier method, it is found that this multiplier is equal to the dark energy of the cosmos and is given by where E is energy, m is mass, c is the speed of light, and λ is the Lagrangian multiplier. The result is in full agreement with cosmic measurements which were awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics as well as with the interpretation that dark energy is the energy of the quantum wave while ordinary energy is the energy of the quantum particle. Consequently dark energy could not be found directly using our current measurement methods because measurement leads to wave collapse leaving only the quantum particle and its ordinary energy intact.展开更多
