Reborn Technology Scholar

This sudden good news made Qin Yuanqing come to the Institute for Advanced Study in a relaxed and happy mood. He had not been to the Institute for Advanced Study for some time.

The Institute for Advanced Study is now full of stars. Although Mr. Yang is old, he still occasionally goes to the Institute to communicate with other researchers. Perelman is in the field of mathematics. Although he is not good at communication and hates reporters, he still has academic exchanges.

But there is no problem. Now Perelman can simply communicate with people around him in Chinese. Witten is in charge of string theory. Relying on his and Qin Yuanqing's reputation, he has attracted more than 20 people in the field of string theory during this period.

Researchers have made Shuimu University jump from a third-rate university in string theory to a first-rate university in string theory, and its strength is vaguely comparable to that of Princeton University.

This is the role of a domain leader!

It can elevate a field to one level or even several levels.

Computers themselves are Mizuki's strength, and they are currently the undisputed number one in the world!

"The two-dimensional brane was discovered from the ten-dimensional supergravity theory, and can even be considered as a high-dimensional extension of the black hole solution." Qin Yuanqing had just arrived at the Institute for Advanced Study, and Witten was having a collision of sparks of wisdom with other researchers.

Some students were listening with fascination: "Schwarzschild's black hole solution is a three-dimensional solution, while Einstein's equation is in any dimension and can be solved. The interesting and worthy topics are:

The two-dimensional surfaces distributed in the dimensional space are equal to membranes, not points or strings.”

"In other words, the question we urgently need to answer is, after using a one-dimensional circle to compact the supergravity theory of the ten-dimensional space into a nine-dimensional space, what will happen to the brane in the ten-dimensional space?" Witten raised an interesting question

question.

When the others heard this, they rubbed their hands together excitedly, their faces glowing red. Could it be that they were about to witness the solution of a world problem in physics?

"Superstring theory is applicable to spaces within nine dimensions, and in ten-dimensional spaces, membranes are considered to be the basic units of elementary particles. When the space increases by one dimension, the basic units also increase by one dimension. The only thing that remains unchanged is the quantum

Mechanics, pay tribute to Einstein, Schrödinger, Bohr and Heisenberg!" Witten's eyes flashed with excitement.

When he first left Princeton and came all the way to Shuimu University, Witten was not used to it, but he soon discovered that this place is indeed full of vitality. Like the rising sun, Shuimu is also constantly attracting talents.

Slowly, he calmed down and continued to study string theory, trying to make another breakthrough and lead a new string theory revolution.

Here, there is a group of like-minded people like him!

Like Witten, they believe that string theory, superstring theory, and m-theory are right. They also want to trigger a new string theory and make string theory an important branch of theoretical physics.

"However, it is almost impossible to construct a theory using two-dimensional membranes, which is also an important reason why superstring theory is in trouble." Just when everyone seemed to be feverishly discovering the truth about the world, a faint voice came.

, it’s like spraying a bucket of cold water on this group of fanatical scientists.

Then everyone looked in the direction of the sound with angry eyes. If eyes could kill, their angry eyes would be enough to kill each other thousands of times.

But when they saw that it was Qin Yuanqing who was speaking, everyone had to put away their angry eyes, because Qin Yuanqing was not only the head of Shuimu, he was also a great god, and his status in the field of theoretical physics was still higher than that of Witten.

superior.

Although Qin Yuanqing came to the Institute for Advanced Study only a handful of times, the profound knowledge displayed by Qin Yuanqing in several exchanges convinced these string theory experts and made them realize that this was a person who was comparable to Witten in the field of string theory.

Even more powerful than Witten!

"Tracing back to the source, I think the source of the problem is to completely prove that the Kabila Qiu space with an absolute value of Euler number 6 is the best choice. Because the trajectory formed by a one-dimensional string moving in the space is a two-dimensional surface

, and the topology of the two-dimensional surface is completely determined by Euler's number." Qin Yuan smiled lightly.

Witten said angrily: "Qin, I also know that this is the source of the problem, but to be honest, I am unable to prove it. You are responsible for this matter!"

"Don't worry, Witten, I think in the special year of 2018, when mankind embarks on the fourth industrial revolution, string theory will also usher in a major change! You have been waiting for so many years, do you still care about waiting one more year!"

Qin Yuanqing smiled lightly.

Theories are always ahead of reality, and basic theories of physics usually take a long time to be confirmed.

It took about 100 years for Newton's law of universal gravitation to be verified by Cavendish's precise experiments.

Einstein's e=mc2 was confirmed through Croft and Walton's experiments, 27 years after the formula was published.

In 2012, Cern discovered the Higgs boson, which excited the physics world. The prediction of the Higgs boson appeared half a century ago in 1964.

Superstring theory was born about half a century ago, and until now, precise experiments and observations about it are still difficult to achieve.

In 2005, the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, USA, used a particle accelerator to conduct a heavy ion collision experiment, successfully releasing protons and quarks in the middle finger, and obtaining a quark-gluon plasma, which verified a prediction in superstring theory.

.

The verification of this prediction has revealed the tip of the iceberg of superstring theory, and directly observing the entire "iceberg" is extremely difficult at the current level of human science and technology.

Witten also understood this truth. If he wanted to observe, then maybe he would have to live to be 90 or even 100 years old before he could witness it, and then he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with tears in his eyes.

So in order to win the Nobel Prize in Physics during his lifetime, Witten chose to leave his favorite Princeton University and come to Shuimu. This is because he believes that if someone in this world can solve the source of the string theory problem, then there is no doubt that

It is Qin Yuanqing.

Qin Yuanqing looked at everyone with a smile. These are all basic theory researchers. They all understand one thing. Even if contemporary technology cannot completely verify superstring theory, they can only bite the bullet and go on. Because of the theory of gravity and quantum mechanics.

The contradiction between them can only be solved by superstring theory.

No matter how many years from now humans can design an accurate experiment to prove that superstring theory is a correct proposition, what contemporary scientists have to do is to realize the self-justification of superstring theory at the theoretical level and improve its self-consistency.

Why, although string theory, superstring theory, etc. are popular frontiers in theoretical physics and have made many achievements, there are still a large number of physicists who do not recognize them in the theoretical physics community. This is because string theory and superstring theory have never been

There was a fatal problem from the beginning, but scholars in the fields of string theory and superstring theory have never been able to answer this question.

It's like someone claiming to be a man, but when he takes off his pants, he realizes that he doesn't have a penis!

Wei Teng calmed down, yes, as Qin Yuanqing said, since he has waited for so many years, can't he wait for a year now?

"Qin, this is what you said. If you can't explain why the absolute value of Euler's number is 6, I will challenge you for a duel!" Witten said.

Qin Yuanqing smiled. In fact, Qin Yuanqing already had an idea about the issue of the absolute value of Euler's number being 6, but too many trivial matters hindered his progress and prevented him from studying it calmly.

But he is still very confident that this problem will be solved in 2018.

Then Qin Yuanqing, Witten, and Perelman were together, no longer discussing string theory, but talking about the upcoming World Mathematical Union Congress. This year's World Mathematical Union Congress will be held in Rio, Brazil.

"I really don't understand why it is held in Rio. The security there is extremely poor. Even in the Olympics, there are frequent robberies and even shootouts." Witten kept complaining when he talked about this.

"Who knows, maybe I want to invite all the mathematicians in the world to enjoy a football match together." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

The plane crisis that occurred last year made Qin Yuanqing no longer plan to go abroad. Logically speaking, as the kindest star in the world of mathematics, Qin Yuanqing has the responsibility and obligation to promote the influence of the conference, because this is not someone's interest.

It is for the benefit of all mathematicians in the world.

Therefore, he communicated with the chairman of the conference before and made it clear that he would not participate in this Union of Mathematicians conference.

"To be honest, this conference is getting more and more boring. It might as well be an academic seminar!" Perelman was completely uninterested in this.

"It seems that this conference is very lively. It stands to reason that your outstanding achievements in Riemann Hypothesis are limited and fully worthy of the Fields Medal. It would be interesting if the conference decided to award the award to you and you are not here."

Witten said with a smile.

It stands to reason that since Perelman is over 40 years old, it is impossible for him to win the Fields Medal again. Qin Yuanqing has also won the Fields Medal twice. Basically, it is very difficult to win the Fields Medal again. However,

The quasi-Riemann Hypothesis made by the two last year is of great significance. It directly made the mathematical community think about the Riemann Hypothesis from 0 steps to 99 steps. Only the final capping work is needed to declare the Riemann Hypothesis to be the building of mathematics.

boundary.

But even so, the proof of the quasi-Riemann Hypothesis directly led to more than a thousand conjectures attached to the Riemann Hypothesis, and 600 conjectures were proved. From conjectures to theorems and formulas, the significance is really great.

, cannot be overrated.

Therefore, Witten feels that this mathematician conference is likely to make an exception and award the Fields Medal to Qin Yuanqing and Perelman in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the Riemann Hypothesis.
