Chapter 1114

For the world, November 25th is just an ordinary day.

However, for the mathematical community, from today on, this day seems to be given extraordinary significance.

The canteen of Jinling university is crowded.

In time for the rush hour after class, the swarming students blocked the way to the dining window.

As a member of qiafan army, Duan Siqi, who had just finished the course, took a lot of effort to kill him from the crowd with his plate and went to three roommates to sit down.

Today, bedroom 201 is hard to live together. Even Jimo, who usually has no head and no tail, sits here. He can't help feeling that the sun is beating out in the West.

It's just like Jige's face was so thoughtful that he didn't even let him have a meal. It's estimated that he would have a meal with them at most. When the meal is finished, no one will be seen for the rest of the day.

Holding the rice in the bowl, Yang Shuang and Wu Di, who are sitting next to him, exchange their eyes and look at him and ask.

"Jige, what's up with your project?"

"It's hard, it's too hard," Ji murmured with a sigh. "If Lu Shen is OK, you can help us plan what to do next."

"Is Lu Shen out? He's on a business trip? "

Jimo shook his head.

"It's not. It's just closed."

Now it's Professor Chen Yang who is in charge of them, but he doesn't like to talk very much, and has little communication with them.

As for Perelman, this guy almost interprets the word isolation to the extreme. If he didn't take the initiative to ask him specific questions, he basically said too many words.

Thinking of the proposition he was facing, Jimo was worried.

It's probably the first time he's had a problem he can't think of. It's probably the first time that I've been troubled by a problem for nearly a month, and I don't even know how to proceed.

Duan Siqi didn't speak, just gave him a look of encouragement.

At this time, hanging in the canteen side, is showing CCTV four international news television, the picture suddenly changed. One second in front of the camera is still on the shooting in the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the next second suddenly cuts back to the studio.

From the side of the staff took a press release, the host quickly glanced at the two eyes, the expression clearly emerged a touch of surprise color.

Under the trend of professional quality, he quickly made a judgment, took a deep breath and broadcast the report.

“…… Here's a piece of news

"On November 25, academician Lu Zhou, a well-known Chinese scholar, uploaded a 40 page paper on the academic website arXiv, demonstrating the unity of algebra and geometry, which caused a great sensation in the International Mathematics circle."

"Once the research result is confirmed to be accurate, it will completely change the development of mathematics in the future and bring about a subversive impact on the research of natural science," according to the analysis of people familiar with the matter

"At present, the International Federation of mathematicians has not expressed its views on this matter. Our press conference will keep an eye on it..."

The double cooked pork sandwiched on the chopsticks fell back into the bowl, and Jimo's mouth was wide open, staring at the TV.

The same is true for the guys in Room 201 sitting in front of the dining table. Although their reaction is not as exaggerated as Jimo's, their eyes to the TV are clearly full of surprises.

Unified algebra and geometry!

The unified theory of mathematics!

This kind of thing

Is it really possible?!

Duan Siqi's heart instinct is like this.

However, the name of Lu Zhou appeared in the studio, which made him unable to think of any doubt.

"Grand unified theory..." Looking at the stunned Jimo, Duan Siqi opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva and said, "this is not Did you study that before? "

Zimmer: " Yes. "

In fact, it wasn't studied before.

But I've been studying this.

Even last night, he was frantically rolling his hair for one of the topics.

But I didn't expect

When he was still mad at some detail in this huge blueprint, he saw the built building in the news

Thinking of this, Jimo's heart burst into tears.

Too much!

Don't even tell yourself!

Although the sense of existence is not high, he is also a member of the research group!

Wu Di, who had not spoken, looked at him in silence.

“…… Then you. "

Long sigh, that melancholy eyes like being cheated feelings, looking up at the ceiling of Jimson can not love to say.

“…… It seems that we have nothing to do. "Actually, it's not that the boat didn't tell them.

As soon as the paper was uploaded to arXiv, Lu Zhou sent an email to several major partners to share the joy of victory with them.

Just because the joyful news is so shocking that in less than a day, neither Professor Chen Yang nor Professor Perelman has digested the shock, or even read the paper.

Naturally, no one has informed Jimo that they are "grassroots researchers".

Almost after the news broadcast, the discussion of related topics has exploded on the Internet like a volcano.

Unified algebra and geometry?! (surprised) (surprised)]

[horizontal groove! Isn't Lu Shen studying the Riemann conjecture? Why do some people do scientific research faster than I memorize words? It's unfair. (crying) (crying)]

[I am a researcher of folk mathematics, reporting academician Lu for plagiarizing my research results under my real name. As early as in 2012, I realized the mystery of mathematics from the similarity between 0 and circle in writing. With the help of the wisdom of the ancients, I carried on the past, and completed the unity of algebra and geometry. Please give me a hand and send me up. Don't let the people who cheat the world and steal the fame go wild. (angry) (fist)]

[what does algebra and geometry mean? Will the textbooks for compulsory education be changed again in the next nine years? ]

[in short, he has invented a new mathematical framework, which links Algebra with the abstract meaning of geometry, so that the methods on both sides can communicate with each other. This kind of thing has no influence on ordinary people, but if we solve a quadratic equation of one variable, it is certainly the most effective way to find the root formula. But for us, I'm afraid we have to lose a lot of hair in this period After studying in the English mathematics department, I knelt down for Lu Shen. Please slow down. ]

go! Where's the baldness? My God Lu is so handsome. Are you old? ]

【…… ]

even though most people may not know what the unity of algebra and geometry means, even the basic knowledge of algebra and geometry is almost returned to the teacher, but this does not prevent them from sharing the shock in the heart of the host in the studio from the news of that temporary episode.

Nearly half an hour after the news was broadcast, the search enthusiasm of related hot words has been on the hot search list of major media platforms.

Whether it's studying mathematics or not, this moment has become a great mathematician.

At this moment, we began to discuss what the world would look like after the unification of algebra and geometry, whether it is reliable or not.

In response to people's hot discussion and concern about this matter, Renren daily, together with CCTV, has planned a scientific interview program, and invited Xiang Huanan academician, one of the leading figures in the field of mathematics in China, as a guest.

Looking at the old man with grey hair, the host said respectfully.

"Hello, academician, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in our program."

Smile to academician of South China, lean on the sofa of him, tone easy ground continues to say.

"I'm not busy. I have nothing to do when I'm old. Just ask me if I have any questions."

After two simple greetings, the host quickly brought the topic to the point.

“…… Recently, a great event has taken place in the field of mathematics. Academician Lu uploaded a paper on the unity of algebra and geometry in arXiv. Many of our audiences are particularly concerned about it. How will this paper affect our future and life? Would you please give us an answer? "

Hearing this, he said with a smile to the academician.

"In fact, there are still some deviations in the media reports. What academician Lu did was not to prove the unity of algebra and geometry, but to build a bridge between them."

Host: "bridge?"

"Yes," said the popular language, nodding to the academician, "it's like the cup full of water on our table. It can be used for drinking or watering flowers."

Host: "this example is a little abstract."

Xiang Huanan academician: "so it's unnecessary for ordinary people to understand this thing. The unity of algebra and geometry is a kind of unity in the abstract sense. It's not to say that the two things really become the same thing, but that when necessary, we can turn the problem of algebra into the problem of geometry, or we can use the method of algebra to study the problem of geometry Questions. "

Host: " It turns out that's true. Maybe I didn't have enough understanding ability, or I didn't hear it very clearly. That is to say, it will not have any impact on the life of ordinary people. Is that what it means? "

"That's what it means," he nodded to the academician of South China. "Only when our theorists, or scholars who are engaged in Applied Sciences, solve a technical problem through these methods, or accomplish any invention, can ordinary people feel the changes brought about by scientific progress from the results.""I heard that you and academician Lu know each other in private?"

"More than knowing each other," he said with a smile after patting the academician on his thigh, "they almost become my students! Alas, it's a pity that I didn't insist at the beginning, so that guy was abducted by the old man Lu Jianshen to study physics for a year. Fortunately, he returned to mathematics in time. "

"It's not a wrong way to study physics," the host said with a smile. "Although there is no outstanding work in the fields of mathematics and computational materials, academician Lu's achievements in physics are also very good."

"You don't understand," Xiang Hua said with a smile. "So far, his achievements in physics can basically be attributed to his achievements in mathematics. One of the most prominent is the existence of the solution of young mills equation and the unified theory of strong electricity. The former is known as the Millennium problem, while the latter is just a generalization of the former. "

Although this kind of saying has the meaning of playing rogue, it is also true in fact.

Who wants the 750 GeV characteristic peak signal found at CERN summit to be a black dragon?

Although the whole field of high energy physics has been busy for a whole year, it's a pity that nothing has been busy.

Seeing that the academician has begun to talk about something difficult to understand, the host quickly transferred the topic from the academic field to the life of Lu Zhou.

"As you mentioned just now, academician Lu almost became your student before. Our audience is very curious about the events of academician Lu's student days. Can you tell us something about that time?"

Hearing this sentence, I gradually dyed a trace of memory in the narrowed eyes of the academician.

"That's a long story..."
