Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 270 The second report meeting

Scholars who were specially invited would naturally have meals arranged by the school, so Qin Yuanqing did not need to worry about it. After finishing the first report meeting, Qin Yuanqing drank a bottle of water and felt better.

Instead of accompanying his friends for dinner, Qin Yuanqing took his wife home, ate at home, played with the children, and then took a nap to have a good rest and stay in good condition. After all, there were so many scholars and important media in front of him. Qin Yuanqing still hopes to be in the best condition to greet the live broadcast. After all, in a sense, he is not just himself, but represents the country and the image of China.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

It's still the auditorium.

Qin Yuanqing had changed into a light blue T-shirt and trousers into a pair of light blue denim shorts. The whole person looked pure and full of vitality.

At the venue, there were many people aged 60, 70, and 80 years old, forming a very sharp contrast. Even though Mr. Yang is 92 years old, he looks older than those 80-year-old physicists and mathematicians. He is much younger. If you didn't mention his age, no one would think that he is already 92 years old.

Qin Yuanqing once again emphasized the academic lecture session. If you have any questions, wait until the question-and-answer session to ask them, and then began to explain the details of the steps.

The scholars in the entire auditorium were all attentive, listening to Qin Yuanqing's explanation of the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation.

Many people know that major institutions have passed supercomputing verification. The shortest supercomputing verification time is 2 days and the longest is 5 days. The verification results are correct, which means that Qin Yuanqing’s Yang Mills equation The general interpretation is correct.

It is hard to imagine that a person's computing power can be much faster than a supercomputer. This is simply incredible.

When Qin Yuanqing finished speaking and the four blackboards on the podium were completely filled with writing, the entire audience stood up excitedly.

Thunderous applause spread from the front row to the back row like a tide, filling the entire report conference in an instant.

"It's really wonderful. If I were asked to solve it, I wouldn't be able to find this solution in one, five or even ten years!" Witten, who was applauding, said with a smile to Deligne next to him.

Deligne also had a smile on his face, and said in a slightly emotional tone: "It's hard to imagine that Qin is proficient in many fields of mathematics, spanning more fields than Tao, and they all seem to be at the top of the world."

Before the Qin Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, Tao Zhexuan was proficient in many fields in mathematics. He was proficient in harmonic analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations and combinatorial theory, and made outstanding achievements in each field.

But now, Qin Yuanqing has surpassed Tao Zhexuan in all major fields of mathematics.

"I heard that Tao's IQ is as high as 230, but I don't know if Qin's IQ is more than 230!" Wiles said with a smile: "It was a very exciting report, I learned something!"

"I have long said that the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation has been proved to be unproblematic, but no one believes it!" Tao Zhexuan said with a shrug.

On the third day after Qin Yuanqing's paper came out, Tao Zhexuan tweeted that there was no error in Qin Yuanqing's proof of the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation. He was the first among all famous mathematicians to come forward and acknowledge the results of the paper.

Others smiled bitterly. We are all old guys. Who can compare with you young people? You can stay up all night watching it, but we can't.

To say this is to say that young people have no moral ethics!

"Maybe he has a chance to solve the Riemann Hypothesis!" Perelman suddenly said.

Others looked at Perelman in surprise, not because Qin Yuanqing had the best chance to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. After all, this is not a secret in the mathematics world. Most mathematicians believe that if there are mathematicians in the world who can solve the Riemann Hypothesis, Man guessed that it was Qin Yuanqing.

It's because Perelman spoke. You must know that Perelman is very taciturn. He basically doesn't express any opinions that have nothing to do with mathematics.

The ups and downs of applause gradually subsided!

Comes like a tide, and fades like a tide.

As the audience sat down again, Qin Yuan smiled lightly and said: "As for the Yang-Mills equation, we have obtained its general solution. As for the interaction between microscopic particles, and the form of their existence or movement , we will also gain a deeper understanding from a mathematical perspective."

"Tomorrow's report meeting, I will explain the mass gap problem of strong interaction from a mathematical perspective. Next, we will enter the question and answer session!" Qin Yuanqing announced that the report will enter the question and answer session.

There are about 20 questions in one hour, and each question lasts about 3 minutes. With the end of the question-and-answer session, it also means that the report on the proof of the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation has come to a successful conclusion.

The scholars gave Qin Yuanqing warm applause. Qin Yuanqing's explanation allowed some scholars to understand how the general solution was calculated without using supercomputing. The logic expressed in Qin Yuanqing's paper also made them understand. .

This is a valuable asset.

From such a report meeting, they gained much more than they normally study in a year.

Scholars are very pure. They are thirsty for knowledge. Whoever can let them learn new knowledge is their teacher.

This lecture ended. No scholar chose to leave, but continued to wait for the academic lecture tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Many scholars saw that it was still early and were discussing together in twos and threes. Some were under the trees, and some were simply on the lawn. They even took out their notebooks to record during the discussion.

Sometimes it is actually a great irony. Experts and scholars lament that the domestic university environment cannot produce big names. There are problems with this and problems with that. But what happens is that as soon as students enter the university, they are instilled in them the seriousness of the employment problem. , so that students always worry about employment. How can they study with peace of mind and concentrate on studying under such circumstances?

The biggest benefit that scholars brought to Shuimu this time was not the international image and influence of Shuimu, but the culture of doing knowledge. Many students saw it with their own eyes and then understood how to do knowledge.

Qin Yuanqing did not accompany his friends, but accepted an interview with Nature Weekly at home.

This kind of publication under the banner of "Nature", even if it is non-academic in nature, is far more professional than those professional headline-makers. At least in terms of reporting on academic figures, major scientific breakthroughs, etc., this type of weekly magazine still has a certain degree of seriousness.

When reporters and photographers from "Nature Weekly" arrived at Qin Yuanqing's home, they were a little surprised to see Qin Yuanqing's home. After all, they knew that Qin Yuanqing was different from other scholars. In their impression, Qin Yuanqing was a super rich man. , shouldn’t the residence of the super rich be a super villa?

Jingtian invited the two people into his home and poured them two cups of tea.

The camera was turned on, the recorder was adjusted, and she sat in a dignified posture. Ms. Elena smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Qin Yuanqing!"

"Hello!"

Elena smiled and said: "We are very surprised. In addition to being a scholar, you are also a super rich man. According to your financial resources, you should be able to live in a large villa. However, your residence surprised us."

"Actually, I identify myself more as a scholar. My pursuit of material things is not strong. In my opinion, a house is enough to live in. I feel very warm living here. My wife, my children, It brings me a lot of happiness!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "I donate a lot of money every year to help people in need. My personal expenses are actually not much, less than 10,000 a month. My wife used to After giving birth to a child and often filming outside, my monthly expenses are less than 3,000!"

The interview started with a few questions about life, including Qin Yuanqing's student career, and then Elena got to the core: "Your report will end in the afternoon, and it has been less than half an hour now, including the Clay Institute , Princeton University, Harvard University, MIT, Oxford University and other major scientific research institutions have announced that the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation in your paper is correct and verified, which means that your second paper has won the world's recognition. Recognition.”

"According to my understanding, your report tomorrow morning will be about one of the most critical issues in Yang Mills's theory - the mass gap issue. Many physicists have said in the past that whoever can solve this problem will have I hope to win the most dazzling Holy Grail in modern physics. What I want to ask is, why do you say this? What is the difficulty of this problem? Are you confident that you can actually solve this problem?" Elena said.

"To understand the mass gap of the strong interaction means exploring the hadronic world under the strong interaction described by the third-order special unitary group gauge field theory. And for this unknown world, we use to detect it The minimum frequency required for a high-energy beam is the minimum mass times the square of the speed of light/Planck's constant." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "Referring to the minimum mass value in the experiment, the order of magnitude of this minimum frequency is 10^24Hz. Such a high mutual The degree of action coupling shows that the world of hadrons is completely different from the world we are familiar with. Understanding the world we are unfamiliar with is a meaningful and challenging matter in itself, and it can bring great benefits to our civilization. Change is no less than discovering a habitable galaxy.”

"In short, we will figure out how massless bricks stack up particles with mass, and how the four fundamental forces we are familiar with can be unified in areas we do not understand." Qin Yuanqing explained: " Yang Mills' theory is the first step towards a grand unified theory, and establishing the relationship between the strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction will become an extremely important piece of the puzzle, or the last piece of the puzzle to unify the three fundamental forces... After all, the electroweak unified theory of Weinberg and others has unified electromagnetic action and weak interaction by adding a Higgs field."

"As for me, I am absolutely sure that I have really solved it, otherwise I would not have compiled a unified theory of strong electricity!" Qin Yuanqing was full of confidence in his research results.
