Reborn Technology Scholar

It was not until 5:30 in the afternoon that the closing ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians was officially held. The closing ceremony ended with a group of artists singing and dancing.

At the same time, the conference logo outside the venue was also officially removed, and the scholars went to the restaurant under the guidance of volunteers. Because it was the closing ceremony, the food in the restaurant was much richer than in the previous days, which was the first time.

The dust-cleansing banquet at the opening ceremony of the day can be compared.

Because of Qin Yuanqing's report, the time was postponed, causing scholars to change their ticket times one after another. Therefore, basically all the mathematicians attending the dinner went. Unlike previous mathematician conferences, some mathematicians showed up as soon as the closing ceremony was introduced.

I hurriedly left the venue and rushed to the airport to catch the return flight.

Different from the opening ceremony, at the closing ceremony’s celebration dinner, scholars communicated in low voices while eating, exchanging their gains in the past few days. Every World Congress of Mathematicians is a grand gathering of exchanges between mathematicians and wisdom.

communication, so inspiration often bursts out and people can gain a lot.

This is also the charm of the World Congress of Mathematicians. As long as they have time, mathematicians will try their best to participate.

Qin Yuanqing did not go directly from the capital to the capital that night. Instead, he stayed in the capital for one night and returned to the capital tomorrow morning.

Although after the closing ceremony, mathematicians from all over the world set off on their return journey, because Shanghai is the economic center of China, the combined annual passenger throughput of the two airports reached 130 million, and the annual passenger volume of trains exceeded 55 million.

The number of passengers, tens of thousands of people, is really nothing to the Magic City. It didn't even cause any congestion, and was easily eliminated.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Qin Yuanqing went to the airport under the escort of his bodyguards. He took a special plane and took off from the Magic City Airport and flew directly to the Beijing Airport.

After returning to the capital, Qin Yuanqing accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV at Shuimu Tsinghua Garden. The host of this interview was none other than Xiao Sa, who had gone further and further on the road to Versailles. Ever since he was attacked by aliens and the richest man,

After the soul critical attack, Xiao Sa seemed to be enlightened, suddenly enlightened, and started his own road to Versailles.

For example, Xiao Sa once revealed in a complaint program how conflicted he was after receiving the admission notice from Yanda: Go to Yanda, away from home, away from your friends. Even if you don’t go, Yanda is okay.

Since then, the meme "Yanda is okay, Xiaosa" has been played with enthusiasm by netizens, and has been played for more than ten years.

For example, when the hosts talked about the college entrance examination results that year, Xiaosa said with a hint of pride: "It's really true that I sit with people who usually still need to take exams," which caused a roar of laughter.

Versa is definitely worthy of its name.

But at this time, Versailles could not get up. He sat upright and signaled the photographer next to him to get ready. Then he smiled, looked at Qin Yuanqing and said, "I am honored to get this opportunity to interview you. Before the interview begins,

, I would like to ask you a few questions on behalf of the audience in front of the TV."

Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "Ask me, as long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything!"

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult question." Xiao Sa smiled.

As he spoke, he paused and continued: "At this World Congress of Mathematicians, your report on Hodge's conjecture has more than 100 million people watching the live broadcast in China. According to overseas statistics, about 50 million people watched it.

But judging from the comments of netizens, everyone said that they were confused and even fell asleep while watching. Many people talked about one topic. How many people can understand your report? It is so difficult to understand.

theory, what’s the point of it?!”

Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "Mathematics is very about talent. People without talent, no matter how hard they work, can't actually make any great mathematical results! When the mathematics report reaches a certain level, ordinary people can't understand it.

, it requires a professional mathematician to understand it. If it is more advanced, even mathematicians in different fields will have difficulty understanding it."

"The report on Hodge's conjecture itself involves a lot of brand-new mathematical knowledge. Most mathematicians can't understand it. It is estimated that there are only a handful of mathematicians who can understand that report." Qin Yuan

He smiled lightly.

"As for people not understanding it, that's normal! Only the emergence and development of theories can promote the development of science! People who think that difficult theories are useless can only be said to be too superficial! When Newton proposed the law of universal gravitation,

, I don’t understand much, but this achievement has influenced today. And calculus has long become a widely used mathematical tool." Qin Yuan smiled lightly.

If it were anyone else, they would be more polite, but Qin Yuanqing would not, to be honest!

"But theories always need to be studied by scholars, otherwise this society will not be able to develop forward! For example, in terms of theoretical physics, it has been almost four hundred years since gravity was proposed, but it has taken more than three centuries for humans to do so.

We can only understand a little bit." Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "We don't even understand the origin of gravity yet."

Xiao Sa asked incredulously: "Isn't there a conclusion about the cause of gravity?"

"Of course, gravity is probably the most mysterious field in physics. Although our experience of it may be more intuitive than the other three fundamental forces, on the contrary, we know the least about it. Even if string theory and loop quantum gravity theory are different,

The reason for its birth was explained from two completely opposite ways, but until today, no one can say for sure which one of them is correct." Qin Yuan smiled lightly: "It can even be said that their explanations are all wrong.

Yes, it’s also a high probability thing.”

Qin Yuanqing spread his hands and said: "So, the exploration of knowledge is always lonely. Most people actually don't understand. But just because most people don't understand, you can't stop people from studying. Then there will be no hope for mankind at all.

.”

"The important thing about the proof of Hodge's conjecture is not the result, but the new mathematical tools and new mathematical theories that emerged in the process, which will greatly promote the development of mathematics!" Qin Yuan smiled lightly: "For example, Hodge's conjecture

The proof has promoted the birth or development of seven novel mathematical disciplines, which is huge for the development of science and technology!"

"So... what technological achievements will it bring?" Xiaosa didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from asking a question that everyone was concerned about.

"One of the most obvious ones is to stimulate the birth of anti-gravity technology!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "Why are many countries around the world studying anti-gravity technology, but so far they have not produced any decent results, and only we in China have

A historic breakthrough in this regard!”

"You mean, our China's anti-gravity technology project is because you proved the Hodge conjecture?" Xiao Sa said with some surprise.

"Yes!" Qin Yuanqing said calmly.

With the successful development of anti-gravity devices, China is far ahead of the world in anti-gravity technology. At this time, unless it is core technology, there is no need to be secretive about it anymore.

The reason is very simple. It is estimated that it will take at least ten years for overseas research on these subjects to lead to the emergence of anti-gravity technology. By that time, if nothing unexpected happens, anti-gravity technology will be used in many fields in China. If overseas intelligence wants to obtain the device,

Much simpler, reverse research is much simpler than forward research.

"It's incredible. It seems that I can experience anti-gravity technology in my lifetime!" Xiao Sa exclaimed.

Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "Xiao Sa, you are only 50 years old. If nothing happens, you will experience it."

"Academician Qin, can you tell us that mathematics is still a very far away place for most of us? Could you please explain to us how much the study of mathematics can have an impact on our society and our civilization?"

What visible impacts will it have?" Xiao Sa asked.

Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment.

"To be honest, there is not a very good answer to this question." Qin Yuanqing thought for a while before saying: "Because mathematical research rarely directly produces economic or social benefits, its impact on physics, mathematics, and biology is also limited.

It doesn’t manifest all at once, sometimes it even takes a hundred years.”

"But it does not mean that it has no visible impact. We only need to extend the time scale to see it. For example, with the development of quantum science, we now have quantum computers and quantum communications!" Qin Yuanqing said

: "The development of geometry and calculus has promoted the development of high-precision industry, and the solution of turbulence has promoted the birth of controllable nuclear fusion technology. There are countless examples like this!"

Mathematics determines the development of other natural sciences. This is not just talk, it is the truth. Otherwise, mathematicians would not have such a high academic status.

"This time the winner of the Fields Medal is Chinese mathematician Liu Xuan. Many people say that it is because this World Congress of Mathematicians is held in China, which has the advantage of geographical location. As the host country, it has special care, so it can

What do you think about winning the Fields Medal?" Xiao Sa asked a hot question: "We all know that Liu Xuan studied for his doctorate at your side, and I think you have a strong say!"

"I think those who hold this view obviously do not understand the mathematics community. The mathematics community is least affected by the outside world and will never award an award to a person with insufficient strength because of factors other than mathematics." Qin Yuan

He smiled lightly and said: "Not to mention the Fields Medal. The Fields Medal is the highest award in mathematics and is full of gold. From his birth to the present, every Fields Medal winner is a world-class mathematician!

"

"Liu Xuan's attainments in mathematics are also world-class. To be honest, he deserves the Fields Medal. There is nothing false about it!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Are you kidding me? There are only about four Fields Medal winners every time, and sometimes there are only five, and sometimes there are only two or three. How can mathematicians who are not strong enough win the prize? It will only affect the

The value of the Fields Medal.
