Reborn Technology Scholar

Chapter 234: Witness History

Qin Yuanqing explained the key steps in great detail, trying his best to make everyone understand as much as possible.

The scholars in the audience, whether they were invited scholars, uninvited scholars, or domestic scholars, all listened very carefully.

Especially Harold Hoof, as the scholar who proved the weak Goldbach conjecture, he has been studying Goldbach's conjecture for many years. Even though he proved the weak Goldbach conjecture, he thought that he was

There is probably no hope of proving Goldbach's conjecture in my lifetime.

That day when he heard the news during the lecture, he vomited blood and fainted. After being hospitalized for a few days, Harold Hoof began to study Qin Yuanqing's paper on proving Goldbach's conjecture as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. The paper gave him a sudden enlightenment.

Feeling, and then in a rage, he tore up all his papers that proved the weak Goldbach's conjecture, because after Qin Yuanqing proved Goldbach's conjecture, his papers were worthless.

But for some parts of the paper, Harold Hoof didn't understand very well, but after listening to Qin Yuanqing's explanation, he immediately understood it, and he already understood that Qin Yuanqing had no problem solving Goldbach's conjecture.

No one can complain!

Flawless!

"What a genius idea. Qin's talent is really admirable. What's enviable is that he is still so young!" Wiles looked at Qin Yuanqing who was calmly explaining on the podium, with approval in his eyes, and then his eyes couldn't help but

A look of decline flashed through: "It's a pity that I'm old, and my thinking can no longer support my research!"

When Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, he was also very popular, and he was applauded wherever he went. However, as he grew older, his thinking began to slowly retreat. He was annoyed, unwilling to accept it, and wanted to resist, but in the end

He understood that people are so insignificant in the face of time.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not the atomic bomb or the hydrogen bomb, but time! Time is the most terrifying and most powerful!

Nothing can escape the sanction of time!

Therefore, in 2011, Wiles gave up the position of chairman of the mathematics department of Princeton University to a talented mathematician, Charles Feiffman, and he returned to his alma mater, Oxford University, to teach, where he finally shined.

Sometimes, Wiles couldn't help but think of the most important mathematics lecture at the end of the 20th century held by the Newton Institute. More than two hundred world-famous mathematicians listened to this lecture, although only a quarter of them were at that time.

People can fully understand the Greek letters and calculations on the blackboard. But in that mathematics lecture, Wiles was the absolute protagonist. The feeling was so wonderful that when he went to bed at night, he didn't want to wake up.

Want to immerse yourself in it.

"It's really puzzling that such a genius was born in China where science is poor!" Wiles sighed in his heart. In the past, he was actually prejudiced against the Chinese people. Although China has a large population, none of them are so popular.

The mathematicians he likes and China's academic environment are always reported in newspapers and become their jokes.

Even when they recruit graduate students, they are not willing to recruit Chinese people. They feel that the Chinese people have a bad nature. This bad nature makes China backward and poor in modern times, although it has a brilliant ancient culture.

But the emergence of Qin Yuanqing made Wiles look at him with surprise, and he is even more amazed now. He even wished that he could go back 20 years, and he could talk about mathematics with Qin Yuanqing, travel around the world of mathematics, and browse the beauty of the mathematical universe.

.

As a proof of the existence of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles knows better than others that although Goldbach's conjecture is more like an intelligence test than the widely used Fermat's Last Theorem, this intelligence test can

Being put into the eighth question of the twenty-three questions by Hilbert shows its status in number theory and even the entire field of mathematics.

Solving it may not change the world like the Millennium Problem, nor can it change mathematics like Fermat's Last Theorem, but the tools created in solving this problem are invaluable to the entire mathematical community.

In Wiles' mind, everyone present was witnessing history.

But only a few people can follow Qin Yuanqing's words and pen to swim freely in mathematics. And like him, if it weren't for reading the paper, he actually couldn't keep up with Qin Yuanqing's thinking.

There is no way, he is old! He is too old to be reconciled, but he has to accept it!

"Wiles, it's a pity that Qin didn't come from Princeton. This will be a great loss to Princeton!" Sitting next to Wiles was Charles Feiffman, now the chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University.

Charles Feiffman is a mathematical genius. His famous achievements include extending the low-dimensional results of multi-variable analysis to general dimensions. His research is wide-ranging, including partial differential equations, Fourier analysis, mathematical physics, and fluid dynamics.

, neural network-like, mathematical finance, spectral analysis, etc.

Charles Feiffman won the Fields Medal in 1978. He was only 29 years old when he won the award, which was very young.

Now Charles Feifeman is actually not young anymore, he is already 64 years old, but his body is much healthier than Wiles.

"Perhaps Lady Luck will not always favor Princeton. She will continue to flog Princeton so that Princeton will not stop and keep moving forward!" Wiles said with a smile.

Princeton is the holy land of mathematics. How many mathematicians are proud to attend Princeton University and proud to teach at Princeton.

Even Wiles went to Princeton to teach.

But Qin Yuanqing is an exception. Wiles invited Qin Yuanqing when he was the chairman of the mathematics department, but was rejected in the end. Qin Yuanqing is different from other mathematicians. Although other mathematicians have made amazing achievements in the field of mathematics, they have not

Qin Yuanqing is good at making money, but he is a young rich man, and can be said to be the richest man among mathematicians.

Charles Feiffman sighed, not being able to bring Qin Yuanqing to Princeton was the biggest regret in his life.

Such a brilliant genius should go to Princeton and bring his wisdom to the world!

On the podium, Qin Yuanqing came to the end after an hour of narration: "The proof of Goldbach's conjecture is over here. I think I have proved this proposition! This building of Goldbach's conjecture,

It is indeed capped!”

As soon as Qin Yuanqing finished speaking, applause broke out in the auditorium, very warm applause.

I don’t know how many years have passed since there has not been such a large scale and such warm applause.

Everyone feels honored to witness history for themselves! Everyone is very happy and happy that they decided to come!

Here, they witnessed history!

And this scene was captured by the reporter's camera. The reporters were all stunned by today's report meeting. This kind of report meeting made them feel what human wisdom is and the human desire for knowledge.

Intelligent respect is far incomparable to a movie press conference or a celebrity press conference. Even if the reporters didn't understand any of it, they felt the trembling of their souls, the shock and trembling of their hearts.

Entering the question-and-answer session, everyone asked questions enthusiastically. Qin Yuanqing named the questioner in order, and someone nearby would pass the microphone to the other person. After the other person asked the question, Qin Yuanqing would answer it.

With such questions and answers, there are actually about twenty questions in one hour. Soon the hour is over, announcing the end of this report meeting.

In the auditorium, whether they were scholars from China or anywhere, they all burst into warm applause. It was so beautiful. Whether it was the narration session or the question and answer session, Qin Yuanqing performed impeccably, without any questions.

It's hard to beat him.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Goldbach's conjecture has indeed been solved, by this brilliant young man!

Qin Yuanqing closed his eyes slightly and opened his hands. He seemed to feel a power coming from somewhere. He seemed to see Newton, Gauss, Euler and other great mathematicians greeting him.

He felt that at this moment, he saw the world differently!

"Don't worry, I will never stand still, I will definitely take the last step, and I will not let you down!" Qin Yuanqing said silently.

The scene in which Qin Yuanqing closed his eyes slightly, opened his arms, and enjoyed the warm applause of the crowd was filmed by reporters and became a classic.

When Qin Yuanqing opened his eyes, the warm applause in the auditorium stopped, and then everyone was suddenly shocked to see Professor Deligne helping an old man get up from his seat. The old man was holding a box in his hand.

The scholars who saw it were all shocked, because they all recognized this old man - Alexander Grothendieck!

Grothendieck, the founder of modern algebraic geometry, is known as the greatest mathematician of the 20th century!

"Oh my god! Why is he... why is he here too!?" Some people couldn't help but feel excited.

"Let me think about it...how many years has it been since he appeared in public? It seems that he has never appeared again since he retired!" Many mathematicians can't help but want to worship him!

"Teacher, what's wrong? Why are you so excited!? Who is that old man?" Next to a professor, a white man saw his teacher's excited look and felt strange. What's going on? He has never seen his teacher before.

Ever been so excited.

Even when he saw Wiles, even when he saw Faltings, he had never been so out of his mind! After all, his teacher is also the head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sydney, Australia, and is also very famous in the world of mathematics!

What kind of big scene have I never seen!
