Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 231 Reactions from all parties

École Normale Supérieure in Paris

Researcher Harold Hoof was giving a lecture on the weak Goldbach conjecture.

"...The end of the circle method lies in the weak Goldbach conjecture. Our research work has allowed us to see that any odd number greater than 7 can be expressed as the sum of three odd prime numbers. We are confident Go prove the weak Goldbach conjecture!"

"Of course, it is difficult for our work to generalize it to even numbers!" Rod Hoof seemed to be in a good mood, because he had completed the proof of the weak Goldbach conjecture. He would sort out the paper in the evening and submit it to the journal tomorrow. .

By then, with this research result, he will be famous all over the world and become a top mathematician. He is even expected to win the Fields Medal in 2014. Even if he fails to win the Fields Medal, he will definitely win other mathematics awards. Indispensable.

Although those who engage in research are relatively simple, who wouldn't be happy if their research results could be recognized and they could gain fame and fortune.

"Oh, my god!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

The entire auditorium suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked towards the source of the exclamation, with an evil look on their faces.

Rod Hoof also frowned slightly. You must know that it is very impolite to make such an exclamation in the lecture. He said: "This student, your impolite behavior has affected the normal progress of the lecture. , please leave and don’t disturb your classmates!”

The blond boy raised his hand, then stood up, bowed to everyone, and said: "I'm sorry that my behavior disturbed everyone! It's just that the news is too shocking. On Arxiv, Professor Qin from China promoted himself Goldbach’s conjecture was proven! I was shocked!”

Wow~~

The whole auditorium rang with exclamations. They already felt incredible after hearing some of Harold Hoof's research results on the weak Goldbach conjecture today.

As a result, now, Qin, Yuan and Qing have proved Goldbach's conjecture! ?

Those who can come here to listen to Harold Hoof's lectures must either be in the field of mathematics themselves or be interested in mathematics. Otherwise, they will not be able to understand it at all. They naturally know how to prove Goldbach's conjecture and prove it. The difference between the two is the weak Goldbach conjecture.

And they are all Qin Yuanqing. They know that this one is a world-famous mathematician, vaguely considered by many to be the number one person in the field of number theory!

This is not some civil scientist or high school or college student claiming to have proved Goldbach's conjecture.

Immediately, everyone picked up their mobile phones and logged into Arxiv. Then they saw the paper "Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers" pinned to the top. When everyone took a look, the paper turned out to be a hundred and fourteen. Thirteen pages.

Harold Hoof's expression changed on the stage, and he opened the Arxiv website with his notebook. The paper "Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers" was pinned to the top, and he saw it at a glance. , Harold Hoof clicked on it and browsed it.

Phew~

Not long after, Harold Hoof spat out a large mouthful of blood, fainted, and fell directly to the ground, even the chair fell over.

. . . . . .

Great Britain, Wiles received a call from the editor-in-chief of "Chronicles of Mathematics" and learned that Qin Yuanqing had proved Goldbach's conjecture. Curious, Wiles agreed to serve as a reviewer, and then immediately downloaded the paper from his mailbox and printed it. The paper then begins review.

"Qin's paper looks really pleasing to the eye, as beautiful as ever!" Wiles read line by line, and the pen in his hand was writing down line after line of formulas on the draft paper from time to time.

"It's incredible. He actually put aside the existing research results and found a new way. I can see the shadow of the sieve method on it, and I can also see traces of closed-orbit integration that are obviously circle methods..." Wile The more Si looked at it, the more amazed he became. So far, he has not found any problems. The paper is very rigorous.

It took Wiles 7 years to prove Fermat's conjecture and turn it into Fermat's last theorem.

But now, how long did it take for Qin Yuanqing to prove Goldbach's conjecture. Moreover, many mathematicians cannot understand his paper. The proof method is extremely complicated and it is very difficult to demonstrate.

Wiles estimated that it was Qin Yuanqing's unique paper that prevented the "Chronicle of Mathematics" from adhering to the principle of two-way avoidance of suspicion, because it was really useless, and the paper was immediately identifiable as Qin Yuanqing's paper.

Other mathematicians are all traditional mathematicians. Many papers are difficult to understand. Sometimes there are various citations. You need to check the relevant cited papers. However, Qin Yuanqing's paper has very few cited documents. Although the number of pages in the paper is There are quite a few, but the paper is not difficult to read from beginning to end.

It took Wiles three days, without comment, to agree that the paper could be published.

At the same time, Wiles updated his Twitter: "I think Goldbach's conjecture has really been proven!"

And Wiles became the first mathematician to express his affirmation.

. . . . . .

America, in a villa.

Tao Zhexuan is wearing a pair of glasses and is reviewing the manuscript carefully. This time he is also the reviewer of the paper "Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers".

"Chronicle of Mathematics" is not afraid that Tao Zhexuan will show favoritism because he has the same skin color as Qin Yuanqing. At this level, everyone represents authority and has moral literacy. Moreover, Qin Yuanqing's paper is unique and clear, and it is impossible to hide it from the author of the paper. .

In this case, it’s better to be generous!

"It's incredible. It can create a more complete theoretical basis to solve Goldbach's conjecture. It's really ingenious!" Tao Zhexuan has a wide range of interests, spanning multiple fields of mathematics, and they are all top-notch entities, so "Mathematics" "Chronicle" will invite him as one of the reviewers.

"It's unimaginable that China's academic environment can give birth to such a genius! Should I also apply for Chinese citizenship and return to China?" Tao Zhexuan put down the paper and closed his eyes slightly.

He has been in Australia since he was a child and arrived in China for the first time in 2009. He does not speak Chinese and only speaks Cantonese. However, he does not like the academic environment in China because all kinds of academic chaos are simply too annoying.

Moreover, compared with the United States, China's treatment of talents is quite different. Researchers like him live in large villas in the United States. With one person's salary, he can easily live in a large villa and drive a luxury car. Please hire a nanny, but all Chinese scientists are miserable and their living conditions are difficult.

Tao Zhexuan then thought about his wife working as an engineer at NASA and it would not be that easy to go to China. He shook his head and gave up.

But Tao Zhexuan also became curious in his heart. What is the charm of an ancient civilization like China that could give birth to such a genius? Solving the world's mathematical problems is simply easier than drinking water.

After a long time, Tao Zhexuan responded to the "Chronicle of Mathematics" and agreed to publish the paper. As for the review comments, there was no review comment.

Tao Zhexuan updated on Twitter: "Yes, I am convinced that Goldbach's conjecture has been solved! It's really admirable!"

Compared with Wiles, Tao Zhexuan is an Internet expert, and his influence on the Internet is much greater than Wiles. As soon as Tao Zhexuan said this, more and more mathematicians took a stand.

Of course, mathematics research institutions are much more cautious, and no mathematics research institution has expressed its position.

. . . . . . .

After Qin Yuanqing submitted and uploaded the paper, he stopped paying attention to it. It is now the Spring Festival in the world, and the Spring Festival is the biggest in the world.

Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian took a plane and flew directly from Beijing Airport to Ludao. The Spring Festival transportation is not only on the train, not only on the car, but also on the air transport. The airport is much busier than usual, and the plane is also There are no empty seats, all seats are full.

The clothes they bought in the capital had been sent back a few days ago, so the luggage for two people was just one suitcase.

"Hello passengers, I am Liu Ming, the captain of China Eastern Airlines MU8885. Thank you for taking this flight! Thank you to Academician Qin Yuanqing and Ms. Jingtian for choosing this flight. On behalf of China Eastern Airlines and all the cabin crew on board, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks!" As soon as the plane took off, the announcement sounded.

All the passengers on the plane became excited. A girl sitting next to Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian screamed after recognizing Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian, attracting the attention of all passengers on the plane.

Qin Yuanqing and Jingtian looked at each other helplessly and smiled.

Then they signed their names one by one. To be honest, if I had known this, I might as well have bought a first-class ticket.

But I don’t blame the captain, after all, they have good intentions.

After nearly three hours of flight, you could already see the lights of the ground below, and the radio was reminding you that the plane was about to land at Ludao Airport.

Looking down from the plane, the lights of Heron Island are more beautiful than last year!

Although real estate has been prefabricated and housing prices have not increased as horribly as in the previous life, Ludao, as the center of southern Fujian, is still developing very fast, almost every year.

When the plane landed, just after exiting the exit, I saw reporters waiting, taking various photos, and four bodyguards isolated Qin Yuanqing from the crowd to protect Qin Yuanqing's personal safety.

Qin Yuanqing did not expect that the media would not know the news at the Beijing Airport. Instead, he got off the plane and the reporters would get the news.

I also saw that in the winter, every reporter was breathing hard to keep warm, and they were very dedicated. It would not be good to let them go back empty-handed. Qin Yuanqing was interviewed in a small conference room at the airport.

And everyone's focus is on Goldbach's conjecture.

Since Qin Yuanqing submitted his paper, he has not appeared in public, and reporters have not been able to interview Qin Yuanqing, which frustrated them.
