Chapter 163 Edward Witten

"Unbelievable, how did you find out that they made a mistake?" Looking at Lu Zhou, Senior Brother Yan's voice was full of excitement and surprise.

This feeling is like, I thought I was going to lose, but I didn't expect to overtake at the last minute.

"Sensitivity to numbers? I don't know how to describe this feeling. In short, I tried to count the things that didn't feel right, and after counting, I found the mistake," Lu Zhou smiled easily and continued Said, "I guess they were in too much of a hurry. If they had checked before filling in the map, they would not have made such a mistake...Our report will be the day after tomorrow?"

Senior Brother Yan: "Yes, the last show in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I suggest you relax tonight."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said with a smile, "It's better to wait until the night after tomorrow to relax. People at Syracuse University are still waiting to see our joke. Finish the last few steps tonight, and I have to spend some time checking tomorrow. "

Don't even think about it, Professor Bruno's research team must hate themselves so much right now. It was almost predictable that at the acceptance report meeting the day after tomorrow, those Yankees would definitely not let him go easily.

The work of the past month is about to be seen, and Lu Zhou doesn't want to overturn on the last meter from the finish line.

After packing up his things, Lu Zhou was about to leave the venue when he heard someone calling his name.

"Lu Zhou!"

Turning around, seeing the person who stopped him, Lu Zhou froze for a moment and said in surprise.

"Brother Luo?"

I had a warm hug with my old friend and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder. Senior Brother Luo smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here. This world is too small."

"It's a coincidence... Who is this?"

Lu Zhou looked at the old man next to Senior Brother Luo. He always felt that his face was familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had met him.

Brother Luo smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce, this is my mentor—"

"Edward Witten," without waiting for Luo Wenxuan's introduction, the old man smiled and offered his right hand.

Edward Witten!

Hearing the name, Lu Zhou was shocked.

He only heard from Senior Brother Luo that his mentor was in mathematics and physics, but he didn't expect his boss to be this boss!

Just how awesome is this big guy?

In the 1980s, the kink theory was very popular, and many new kink invariants were discovered, the most famous of which was Jones-polynomial, which is the so-called Jones polynomial.

When mathematicians were still busy figuring out this new concept and preparing to develop this new continent, Witten jumped out and told everyone: how many different 3-manifolds are there, and how many different gauge group, how many kink invariants similar to Jones polynomials can be constructed...

The problem seems to have become simpler all of a sudden, but this is not the most irritating thing.

The most irritating thing is that he immediately gave a set of shear flow topological methods, which directly wiped out all the treasures on the entire New World, making other people who have just set foot on the New World want to cry without tears.

The same thing happens with string theory.

Since the 1960s, string theory has been quite popular in the field of theoretical physics. Everyone dreams of completing Einstein's unfinished business, so a lot of different versions of "superstring theory" have emerged.

Then in the 1990s, Witten ran out again, sacrificed the legendary M theory, and proved that many different versions of superstring theory are actually different limit settings of his "M theory". The results under the condition...

In a sense, this person is similar to what Lu Zhou did half a year ago.

Originally, the twin prime number conjecture could produce at least one hundred and twenty papers, but he directly made the number 246 to 2, leaving others nowhere to go.

Unfortunately, although Mr. Witten is a physicist, he won the Fields Medal.

After all, modern theoretical physicists are still struggling to test the Standard Model, and even the particles in the three-dimensional world have not been fully understood. If you go to study the strings that exist in one dimension, it will not be convincing.

Unless he can live to 300 years later, he is doomed to miss the Nobel Prize.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I have admired your name for a long time!" Lu Zhou said with a smile while shaking the right hand extended by the old Mr. Witten.

"Nice to meet you," Witten said with a smile after letting go of his hand, "My old friend always tells me about you and that wonderful lecture. It's a pity that I wasn't in Princeton at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have miss."

The two exchanged a few words, and the topic quickly turned to professional aspects.

"Are you interested in mathematical physics?"

"I'm really interested," Lu Zhou nodded, and said in a chatty tone, "The mathematical beauty of theoretical physics is fascinating."

Old Mr. Witten took out a business card from his pocket: "It seems that we have the same opinion. If you are interested in studying in Princeton, you can consider applying for my doctoral student."

Taking the business card from the old gentleman, Lu Zhou said politely, "I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Although Lu Zhou still wanted to communicate with the boss for a while, Witten seemed to have something to do, so he left first.

Seeing that the boss had left, Senior Brother Luo was no longer so reserved. He patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go for a drink together tonight?"

"Maybe I can't drink with you tonight. I still have some data to process. Change it to the next night. I invite you." Lu Zhou said with a smile.

Alcohol distracts him, and he needs a clear head, so he can't drink at this time.

"That's all right, I'll be waiting for your glass of wine, work hard!" He patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder encouragingly, and Senior Brother Luo also left.

After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Luo, Lu Zhou looked back into the venue and found that Academician Lu and Senior Brother Yan were no longer there.

It is estimated that the two of them probably went back to the hotel first, so Lu Zhou didn't stay here any longer, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Walking down the first floor, he was about to leave the No. 2 research building.

However, at this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly saw that the female doctor who was standing on the podium before was standing in front of the exit directly opposite him with her arms folded in front of her chest, exuding a "female rascal" all over her body. aura.

In fact, for a foreigner, unless he looks very distinctive, he is somewhat busy.

But this one, the features on the chest are so obvious that they can't be ignored at all.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou pretended not to recognize this person, and walked to the other side of the corridor calmly.

He admitted that he was really scared.

He had already tried the enthusiasm of foreigners in Princeton, and he really didn't want to try it again.

As for why he is so sure that he will definitely be dribbled into someone, the reason is actually very simple.

After all, if it wasn't for his handsome speech, he really couldn't think of any other reasons that would make her wait here for him for so long.

However, trouble does not seem to be so easy to avoid.

Just as he turned around and hadn't taken two steps, there was the sound of "thump thump" footsteps behind him.

Lu Zhou's heart tightened, and he was about to quicken his pace, but saw a figure flashing in front of him, blocking his way.

So fast!

Subconsciously, he prepared himself for the impact.

The air was quiet for a while.

Looking at Miss Kairuila standing in front of him, seeing that nothing happened, Lu Zhou coughed slightly in embarrassment and asked.

"……can I help you?"

With her arms wrapped around her chest, Kairila narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Lu Zhou, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Is it fun to embarrass a lady on stage?"

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then looked at her inexplicably: "I just pointed out your mistakes, does it have anything to do with whether you are a woman or a man?"

That's all.

What did he think it was.

Seeing Lu Zhou's appearance that this matter has nothing to do with her, Kairuila gritted her teeth, but she had nothing to do with him.

Taking a deep breath, she stared at Lu Zhou and said in a meaningful tone: "Your report will be the day after tomorrow, right? I'm looking forward to it."

"I will," Lu Zhou smiled and said politely, "Although I don't know what you are expecting, I think I will live up to your expectations."
