Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 223 Research Topic

After leaving the Aero Engine Research Institute, after being inspected by the special police, it was confirmed that he had no other information on him, and then the special police allowed Qin Yuanqing to go out.

As the research and development unit of the Everest aircraft engine, even though the entire technology has been handed over to the military, the institute's protective power has not weakened at all, and it is a confidential unit.

After all, the technology controlled by the Aero Engine Research Institute is so advanced that it has to be taken seriously. Once it is leaked, it will be a huge loss.

Qin Yuanqing left the Aero Engine Research Institute and came to his own office at the Automotive Research Institute.

Normally, Qin Yuanqing prefers to stay here at the Automobile Research Institute, probably because he has formed a habit by staying here earlier.

Moreover, compared with the Aero Engine Research Institute, the Automotive Research Institute is a civilian research institute, and the confidentiality system has been slightly lowered. There are no entrance and exit inspections, and there is no need to undergo inspections by the confidentiality department every now and then.

Of course, both the Aero Engine Research Institute and the Automotive Research Institute have a common attribute, which is the emphasis on confidentiality. Shuimu University also has the most highly educated people. The two research institutes are based on the college level, but there are less than 90 undergraduates a year who can study there. Students from these two colleges are truly interested in this field. Otherwise, at the end of the first semester, the graduate school will actively persuade students to change majors.

The Automotive Research Institute is on the right track, and Qin Yuanqing does not need to deal with things. Minor matters and minor matters are handled by several vice presidents and directors. Only those that they cannot solve or exceed their authority will be handled by Qin Yuanqing.

Sitting on the office chair, Qin Yuanqing held his chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.

The two research institutes are currently developing smoothly. What is needed next is sedimentation. These half a year are not suitable for major wars, which means that he does not need to invest much energy in these six months, and this time is available, so it cannot be wasted.

Theoretical physics?

Or is it mathematical research?

Qin Yuanqing was weighing the matter. In terms of physics, he had reached level 14 and was a world-class physicist. Naturally, he could also carry out theoretical physics research. There were people in the world who were better than him in physics, but there was absolutely no one who was one level above him, because compared to He is beyond one level, which means he belongs to the level of the Grandmaster of Physics.

As for mathematics, the only ones that can challenge him are the seven major mathematical problems, which are the Millennium Problem!

The Clay Mathematics Institute is one of the world's top mathematical institutes. They can solve NP-complete problems, Hodge conjecture, Poincaré conjecture, Riemann hypothesis, Yang Mills theory, Navier-Stokoe equation, BSD The guesses are listed as seven "Millennium Prize Problems". You can imagine the difficulty of these seven mathematical problems.

After thinking for a moment, he still couldn't decide which direction to go. Qin Yuanqing luckily picked up a coin. If it came up heads, he would choose theoretical physics. If it turned out tails, he would choose mathematical research, specifically to overcome these problems that troubled mathematicians around the world.

As a result, the coin landed tails!

Sure enough, God wants me to solve math problems! This is fate!

Destiny cannot be violated!

Qin Yuanqing took out a scrap of paper and wrote down the names of six conjectures: NP-complete problem, Hodge conjecture, Riemann conjecture, Yang Mills theory, Navier-Stokoe equation, and BSD conjecture. As for the Poincaré conjecture It has been solved by the Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman, so only six of the seven major problems are left.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yuanqing drew a circle around Yang Mills' theory, and then wrote Goldbach's conjecture next to it.

The Yang-Mills theory was proposed by physicists Yang Zhenning and Mills in 1954. Through the concepts of spontaneous symmetry breaking and asymptotic freedom introduced by scholars from 1960 to 1970, it developed into today's standard model. In this theory The resulting Yang-Mills equations are a set of highly significant nonlinear partial differential equations that had not been considered mathematically. It can be said that Yang-Mills theory is the basis of modern gauge field theory and one of the most important physical breakthroughs in the second half of the 20th century.

The Yang-Mills equation is intended to describe the behavior of elementary particles using non-Abelian Lie groups. If we can find a general solution to this equation, it not only means that we will have hope to understand the mass gap from the perspective of mathematical theory, but it also means that we will take a big step towards a grand unified theory!

After all, it originated from the analysis of electromagnetic interaction, and used it to establish a unified theory of weak interaction and electromagnetic interaction. Once its proof is completed, it will first be the unification of the two forces, and it also represents mathematics and physics. a unified pace.

In the laboratory, this theory has been verified, but it has not been proved mathematically, forming a final conclusion.

Once Yang Mills' theory is proven, it will be a major breakthrough in mathematics and physics. Yang Zhenning will win the Nobel Prize in Physics as the proposer, and the prover will also win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

There is no doubt about this!

After all, before being proven, these are all imaginary force fields, all hypothetical, not true.

For physics and mathematics, as long as it is not truly proven, it needs to be a question mark!

Therefore, once Yang Mills' theory is proven, it will be a milestone achievement in the history of mathematics and physics.

Many scientists even believe that if Yang Mills' theory was proposed and solved by one person, his achievements would be as great as Einstein's, or even more than that of Einstein's.

Einstein is known as the greatest physicist of the 20th century because he single-handedly established the theory of relativity.

Other physical theories, such as quantum mechanics, especially the later quantum field theory, were established by many people, sometimes after several generations and many years of continuous efforts.

On the other hand, although Goldbach's conjecture has not entered the world's seven major mathematical problems, it does not mean that it is not difficult enough. It is also one of the three major mathematical problems in modern times, ranking second in difficulty.

Even if the work of predecessors has advanced the results to "2", there is only one last step left. This is the final step, but it is not that easy to put the last piece of bricks and tiles to cap this building. Arrived. It has been almost 50 years since Chen Jingrun proved "1+2" ​​in 1966, but everyone is still able to take this step and completely build this building!

Qin Yuanqing did not rush to try to solve the problem of Yang Mills theory, but first solved the Goldbach conjecture. After all, compared with the Yang Mills theory, which is both a physical problem and a mathematical problem, Goldbach's conjecture is pure. Mathematics problems will appear easier.

This conjecture is the most famous among all mathematical conjectures in China, because Chen Jingrun proved "1+2", which is the most outstanding result of all research on this conjecture so far. Many people know that this conjecture comes from Goldbach's letter to Euler in 1742. Goldbach proposed the following conjecture: Any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.

Although it was proposed by Goldbach, Goldbach himself could not prove it, so he wrote to ask Euler to help prove it. After all, Euler was a great mathematician, and his achievements in mathematics were admirable. His alias was "Analytical" Incarnation', he entered the University of Basel at the age of 13, graduated from the university at the age of 15, and received a master's degree at the age of 16. He wrote an average of more than 800 pages of papers every year during his life, and also wrote a lot of mechanics, analysis, and geometry. Textbooks such as "Introduction to Analysis of Infinite Smalls", "Principles of Differential Calculus", "Principles of Integral Calculus", etc. have become classic works in mathematics. Euler was the most likely person to prove Goldbach's conjecture at that time. If even Euler couldn't prove it, then no one could prove it at that time!

The result was that Euler could not prove Goldbach's conjecture even to his death!

From the time it was proposed to the present, Goldbach's conjecture has troubled the mathematical community for nearly three hundred years!

After setting his own research topic, Qin Yuanqing began to prepare. His goal was to first focus on Goldbach's conjecture, solve Goldbach's conjecture, and then solve Yang Mills' theory.

Sure enough, people bully the weak and fear the strong, and they always pick on the weak!

So during this period, Qin Yuanqing's life became very regular. He went to work on time at 9 o'clock, got off work on time at 12 noon, went to work on time at 3 o'clock, and got off work on time at 6 o'clock. At school, I devote myself to research. When I go home, I try to be a good husband, try not to deal with work matters, and accompany my wife to go to the park, go shopping, watch movies, and listen to music.

On November 17, a major event occurred that shocked the whole of China. Yu Xie, the keynote speaker of "Hundred Schools Forum", was attending an event at Yanda University. As soon as he came on stage, the audience choked with "Go down" and "You are not qualified to represent." We” were blasted backstage by the students.

You must know that since he appeared on the "Hundred Schools of Forum" in 2006, Yu Xuan has become famous and loved by the audience. It can be said that the most popular "Hundred Schools of Forum" are Yi Zhongtian who talks about the Three Kingdoms and Yu Xing who talks about the Analects.

The result is that such a "Master of Chinese Studies", a scholar with many supporters, was kicked off the stage by students in public.

This has simply become a major event that caused a sensation across the country. Countless media reported on it, and various analyzes continued to come out. Everyone suddenly became a god, and their analysis was very clear. Why did they know that Yu Xie would not end well from the beginning, and why did he act like a big name. . . . . . Anyway, there are a lot of bad comments, but this is a vicious woman who deserves to go to hell.

But on this day, Qin Yuanqing rubbed his eyes a little, smiled, and looked at the last piece of paper on the table.

During this period of time, attention shifted to Goldbach's conjecture. As a result, Goldbach's conjecture was not conquered, but Polignac's conjecture was easily solved.

The Polignac conjecture is actually a generalized form of the twin prime conjecture: for all natural numbers K, there are infinite pairs of prime numbers (p, p+2k). When K=1, Polignac's conjecture is equivalent to the twin prime conjecture.

As long as the Polignac conjecture is proved, the twin prime conjecture is naturally self-evident.
