Chapter 59 Proving the Twin Prime Conjecture

Chapter 59: Proving the twin prime conjecture

Shuimu University, library, a quiet and remote corner.

Qin Yuanqing looked thoughtful. After a while, Qin Yuanqing wrote on the scratch paper: In summary, there are infinite pairs of twin prime numbers.

As he wrote this, Qin Yuanqing showed a smile on his face.

In the past two months, after revising and revising, I finally completed the paper "Research on Twin Prime Numbers and Proof of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture".

This time, Qin Yuanqing checked the paper five times in total, picked out several loopholes, and constantly fixed the loopholes. At this moment, Qin Yuanqing has confirmed that his paper is perfect.

Although the paper has 30 pages, twice as many as the previous Zhou Conjecture of Mersenne Prime Numbers, Qin Yuanqing thinks it is worth it.

Qin Yuanqing took out his laptop and made corresponding modifications to what he had modified today, and then converted it to a PDF version. After making corresponding modifications to the English version, Qin Yuanqing uploaded the paper to the submission area of "Chronicles of Mathematics" and left his email address, Contact information.

At the same time, in the United States, the editorial board of "Chronicles of Mathematics"

The first review editor downloads the submitted papers from the submission area. Every day, there are at least two or three papers submitted in the submission area, and if there are more, there are even dozens of papers.

A paper needs to be unanimously approved by three preliminary review editors before it can be submitted to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief invites mathematics experts to serve as reviewers to review the paper. The value of the paper can only be determined by the reviewers. After the manuscript is submitted, it will be published in the journal.

"Oh, God, someone has launched an attack on the twin prime conjecture again, claiming that he has proved the twin prime conjecture." When an editor saw Qin Yuanqing's paper, he slapped his forehead and expressed his speechlessness.

"James, this is another lunatic. You know, the field of mathematics is a world of lunatics. You always encounter people who claim to prove the twin prime conjecture several times a year." Another editor shrugged: "But, as a possessor An editor with a strong sense of responsibility, we have to review it no matter how speechless we are.”

"Jones is right, you are doing pretty well. Yesterday I reviewed a paper, and someone claimed to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis." A female editor smiled and said: "God, the Riemann Hypothesis is the brightest in the field of number theory. My pearl! But the paper made me dumbfounded."

As a top professional editor in mathematics, "Chronicle of Mathematics" always has no shortage of contributions from mathematicians from all over the world. Editors here are graduates of mathematics majors from world-famous universities such as Princeton University, and their professional quality exceeds that of most mathematics professors.

As long as they are willing, they can easily become professors in a prestigious school, and prestigious schools are eager to get them.

"Hey, the author of this paper is Qin. Qin from Huaxia Shuimu University just proved the Mersenne prime Zhou conjecture not long ago. I also went to Huaxia to listen to his lecture." James exclaimed when he saw the author of the paper.

Proving Zhou's conjecture has made Qin Yuanqing quite famous in the international mathematics community. After all, Zhou's conjecture has troubled the mathematics community for nearly two decades. It is a more difficult and well-known conjecture among mathematical problems. Therefore, Many mathematicians have tried to break it.

"Then you have to take a closer look!" Other editors also looked serious. When faced with papers written by well-known mathematicians, they are naturally different from papers written by unknown people.

Of course, this does not mean that papers by well-known mathematicians can pass the review. Every year, many papers by well-known mathematicians are rejected.

All eight editors downloaded Qin Yuanqing's paper, and while reading the paper, they verified it on the draft paper. From time to time, some people exclaimed and cheered.

Five hours later, it was already late at night.

"Perfect! The proof process is so perfect. I can't find any flaws. It's hard to imagine that this is a paper written by a Chinese. Even the grammar and vocabulary are correct." James exclaimed: "The whole paper is very exciting. , the logic is very tight, the proof is very clear, he proved the twin prime conjecture!”

"Yes, Qin's talent is really amazing. It has only been two months since he proved Zhou's conjecture, and he proved the twin prime conjecture again." Jones also marveled: "In Qin, I seem to see Terence Chi -Shen Tao’s figure!”

"I suggest that you submit this paper to the editor-in-chief and let him contact the reviewers as soon as possible. Maybe you can catch up with the latest issue of the journal!" Female editor Avril solemnly suggested.

Several other editors expressed their agreement, signed their names, and sent the paper to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief of "The Chronicle of Mathematics" is also a mathematician. Although he failed to win the Fields Medal, he has won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and is also the world's top mathematician.

Adelaide got up at 6 o'clock, made a cup of coffee, opened his mailbox, and saw Qin Yuanqing's paper, which was unanimously recommended by 8 editors, so he sent the paper to 6 reviewers. .

"Chronicle of Mathematics" has cooperating reviewers, each of whom is a top mathematician in the world, many of whom have won the Fields Medal in Mathematics.

Then Adelaide downloaded the paper. He wanted to see what paper could be jointly recommended by 8 editors.

Adelaide is fifty years old, and these older guys are no longer used to reading papers online on computers. They are still used to typing down papers and reading them page by page.

"Research on Twin Prime Numbers and Proof of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture" When Adelaide saw the title of the paper, he was stunned.

Because he himself spent a lot of time trying to overcome this century-old mathematical problem more than ten years ago, but unfortunately ended in failure.

In the achievement of twin prime numbers, there is no doubt about Adelaide's achievement!

"Qin Yuanqing? Shuimu University? The mathematician who proved Zhou's conjecture not long ago!?" Adelaide suddenly looked serious when he saw the author of the paper again.

Whether it is Mersenne prime numbers or twin prime numbers, they are all in the field of prime numbers. Qin Yuanqing proved Zhou's conjecture, and his attainments in the field of prime numbers are also world-class, at least no worse than Adelaide.

Adelaide read it very quickly because he had studied twin prime numbers. An hour later, Adelaide put down the paper and whispered to himself: "I see, why didn't I think of it before?"

"This Qin is so talented!" Adelaide already understood that this paper indeed proved the twin conjecture.

But according to the rules, we have to wait for the opinions of six reviewers before we can judge.

. . . . . .

At Shuimu University, Qin Yuanqing was listening to a lecture on aerospace. Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but feel excited as he listened to this expert's talk about the origin and development of China's aerospace and manned spaceflight.

At the end of October, the father of missiles passed away, and the whole country mourned. The country used the highest etiquette, and the honor guard of the three armed forces escorted the coffin, and gave the highest honor to this old man who made great contributions to China's aerospace and aviation industry.

Qin Yuanqing had a regret in his heart, that is, he had never met the old man.

"Students, the path of the aerospace industry is bumpy. We have no place to learn from. We can't even cross the river by feeling the stones. We have to overcome everything by ourselves." The expert said with a hint of tone. Sadness, but more of determination.

The West has implemented a strict high-tech embargo policy on China for a long time, hoping to slow down China's development in the high-tech field. At the beginning, China wanted to participate in the International Space Station project, but the United States blocked China. In order to maintain the United States' leadership in the field of aerospace technology and ensure that advanced aerospace technology was not learned by China, the United States banned China from participating in the International Space Station project for a long time. As a last resort, China can only independently carry out its own manned spaceflight and build its own space station.

There is also a satellite navigation system. China also wanted to participate in Europe's Galileo project and learn advanced navigation technology. However, in 2005, China proposed that Europe provide the core technology of atomic clocks. The Europeans immediately turned their backs and let the Chinese know that the Europeans were not willing for China to learn advanced technology at all, so they turned their attention to the Beidou system, which had been dormant for several years, to conduct comprehensive research. It is China’s own navigation system.

Science has no borders, who the hell said science has no borders!

If science knew no borders, would China be blocked by the barriers established by Europe and the United States? How funny!

As Brother Qiang said, the Chinese people are still being stupid today, like they are drinking some kind of ecstasy soup, saying that science has no borders, it’s funny, it’s true. Mr. Qian was imprisoned for three years when he wanted to return to China. You said there were no borders. When the Americans took you there, did they say you didn’t? Once you get in, I'll give you the national border. They've all been sentenced recently. The Chinese people come back with a little bit of technology and start complaining. The Chinese people don’t know what’s going on? Whoever said the first thing like that, the people behind him would start talking nonsense to him without any boundaries. Water cultivates people who have no borders. The Chinese people have cultivated you. If you say there are no borders, it was not Americans who cultivated you. After training, you all went to the United States, so who built China? . . . . . .

Thinking of this, Qin Yuanqing's eyes showed determination. He was reborn, and with the black technology system of a top student, he had to make some contribution and allow China to develop faster.

Just looking at the system, any technology related to aerospace and aviation requires a lot of learning coins, which is simply not affordable now.

Helpless!

It seems that I still have to study hard and practice my internal skills before I can become a great hero.

Now I have to develop silently!

Qin Yuanqing wanted to cry but had no tears. Learning coins are really good things. You will only regret them when you need to use them. Even if you have hundreds of millions of wealth, you can't exchange for one learning coin.

The system taught him hard that knowledge is priceless and money cannot buy knowledge!
