Chapter 624 Strong Response
Just when Lu Zhou started retreating to write a thesis, the Internet has exploded.
I don't know which reporter or a scholar who came to the meeting posted the video of the entire report meeting on the Internet.
When I saw Lu Zhou write down the formula on the blackboard and say "I figured it out" in an affirmative tone, the barrage in the entire video boiled.
[666! Have all the general solutions of the Yang-Mills equation been found? 】
[God Lu is awesome! 】
[I was so scared that I dropped all my melon seeds. 】
[Amazing, just this video has more than one million hits... Is the average scientist at Station X? 】
[What is the Yang-Mills equation? I'm here to see God Lu! 】
[Let me popularize science for everyone. The Yang-Mills equation is one of the most outstanding achievements in theoretical physics in the 20th century. It aims to use non-Abelian Lie groups to describe the behavior between elementary particles. If the general solution of this equation can be obtained, it not only means that we will hope to understand the mass gap from the perspective of mathematical theory, but also means that we will take a big step forward towards the grand unified theory! 】
[What is the great unification? Can I eat it? 】
It wasn't just the barrage and comment section of this video that sparked heated discussions, but also various media and self-media followed closely.
For example, "Americans will be silent when they read it, and Japanese will cry when they read it", "The theory of unifying the world was born in a short time, and the mathematics professor who is only in his twenties shocked the world again! ", "Former U.S. Intelligence Agency Chief: The most regretful thing in my life is that I didn't keep him." It is hung in various articles in various poses.
For a long time, the Yang-Mills equation has been regarded as a milestone in the field of theoretical physics, and also as a strong stroke left by the Chinese in the history of theoretical physics. Now this unsolvable equation has finally been found a general solution.
Of course, there are also critics.
For example, a well-known big V whose main occupation is hair scarf, after watching this video, immediately forwarded the video and shook his wit.
"I don't care about his own academic achievements and the significance of the Yang-Mills equation. It is a disrespectful behavior to throw the other audience in the lecture hall, just like a talk show throwing away its own audience. same as us."
"As a Huaguo scholar, you represent not only yourself, but also the image of Huaguo as a big country. In addition to making achievements in academics, you should be strict with yourself and do a good job of personal morality."
"What's more, it is an extremely irresponsible behavior to write a conclusion that has not been rigorously demonstrated on the blackboard."
As soon as the repost came out, the comment area immediately scolded and greeted each other's mother.
[I beg the blogger to post your private life for us to see, and by the way, see how you behave. 】
【Hehe, last time Sir Attiya molested the entire mathematics world with five pages of paper. You said he was a warrior who was unwilling to grow old. Why did he start to criticize again here? Co-author because Professor Lu is not your foreigner? 】
[Spicy chicken! What is wrong with what my XXX said? What's wrong with asking you to be polite? x-on:¥%¥#%! 】
Looking at the comment area full of curses, the blogger happily hung an advertisement on the top, and then decisively slipped away.
In addition to domestic, foreign media also paid considerable attention to this matter.
For example, the "Daily Mail", which loves to do things, contacted a middle-aged professor who taught at the University of St. Andrews and claimed to be an industry insider after the report meeting.
In a news interview, when asked how he viewed the incident, the middle-aged professor spoke eloquently.
"I suspect that the general explanation was just scribbled by him."
The reporter was surprised: "Why?"
Middle-aged professor: "Anyone who knows a thing or two about mathematics knows that behind every rigorous paper, there are countless crumbled drafts. Especially for propositions that require a lot of calculation, such as partial differential equations. How could it be possible to solve it without drafting? Just relying on him to stand there and use his inspiration?"
Reporter: "Why did Professor Lu write scribbles?"
The person in the industry shrugged, "I don't know, maybe it's inflated? Want to learn about horses? I have a wonderful algorithm that can prove that the general solution is this, but unfortunately there are not enough spaces here for me to write it down."
...
night.
Intercontinental Hotel.
Scholars in formal attire walked through the spacious banquet hall, and the tables covered with gold inlaid white cloth were filled with champagne and delicious food with both Chinese and Western characteristics. In order to make up for the regret left by the visiting scholars this morning, and to save a little bit of evaluation in their hearts, Jinda can only use this way of eating and drinking well.
But in fact, only a small part of the people here feel offended by Lu Zhou's "not playing cards according to the routine". Compared with "Lu Zhou ended the report meeting without asking questions", What I care more about is the general explanation written on the blackboard before he left.
"It's already eight o'clock." Looking at his watch, Fefferman glanced towards the entrance of the banquet hall. "It seems that our protagonist is absent from today's banquet."
Originally, he expected to ask Professor Lu about the general solution at the banquet, but now it seems that he has no chance.
With a bottle of champagne in hand, Wiles in a tuxedo came over and asked, "How's it going at Princeton?"
Still wearing the black hat with the brim covering his forehead, Deligne, who was standing by the long table, shook his head and said, "The amount of calculation is a bit heavy. Researcher Cheers told me that it would take two to three days to complete it quickly." , and it’s just dawn over there, and the engineer responsible for arranging supercomputing tasks has just woken up.”
The John Norman Supercomputing Center not only serves the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, but also provides computing support for the PPPL laboratory next door. Compared with advanced research institutes engaged in basic scientific research, the latter, which undertakes more projects from NASA or the Ministry of Science and Technology, is obviously relatively more valued.
However, after all, this matter was personally explained by him, and it would not be delayed for a long time.
What's more, I believe that the engineers of the John Norman Supercomputing Center will be more or less interested in such a world-class mathematical proposition.
Fefferman sighed and said: "It would be great if he could provide a derivation process, even if it is just an idea."
Wiles asked with a smile: "It is said that he has started to retreat again now? I have always heard about Professor Lu's unique way of thinking."
Fefferman said: "It seems to be true. He had the habit of shutting himself in the room and thinking about problems in Princeton? In short, before he figured it out, even if you came to visit him at this moment, you probably wouldn't be able to knock him open." door."
"I'm not sure whether I should go back first, or wait for his results here," Edward Witten glanced at his phone and continued, "About five days later, there will be a meeting at CERN about the new collision experiment. "
Wiles said with a smile: "CERN has endless meetings every day, but how many times can there be such opportunities to witness history?"
After thinking for a while, Witten shrugged.
"What you said also makes sense."
"Then wait another three days."
