Chapter 657 Is This the Gap?

"This man is really confusing black and white!"

Looking at Lu Zhou who was reading the newspaper, Zhao Huan was still a little puzzled and said angrily.

She can see how much time and sweat Lu Zhou has spent researching this problem.

However, this person who "jumped out of nowhere" actually said that Professor Lu stole his research results?

It seemed unreasonable to her!

However, unlike her, Lu Zhou, who was at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, had a calmer expression on his face, and even looked at the text of the report with a bit of interest.

After reading the report from beginning to end, Lu Zhou smiled, folded the newspaper back to its original form, and returned it to her.

"Well, I see."

Looking at Lu Zhou who didn't care, Zhao Huan was slightly stunned, and while subconsciously taking the newspaper, he couldn't help but ask.

"You don't care at all?"

"It's nothing to worry about," Lu Zhou picked up the ballpoint pen again, straightened the draft paper on the table, and said indifferently, "It's impossible for the domestic media to report on this matter, and it won't bother me any more. On the side. As for the foreign media, I don’t need to take care of it at all, and someone will naturally clarify.”

Idea crash is not a rare thing in academia. But to say that I borrowed his ideas, that would be too harsh.

Almost half a century has passed since the paper Jaffe published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics". It's just that he just got through.

As for Senior Brother Luo who really provided him with this idea of ​​proof, his name is hanging on that paper at the moment, and he is very happy.

As for why Professor Brian can't understand this truth...

Maybe he understands, but who wants to understand?

After all, this is an opportunity to go down in history, let alone a little-known scholar, even a professor who has already won a Nobel Prize will inevitably be tempted.

Putting the "Daily Mail" report aside, Lu Zhou ignored Professor Bryan's accusation, but continued to focus on the research on the unified theory of strong electricity.

No matter how close he is to the truth, it will take a long time to solve this problem. This is as if the "symmetry breaking" method was first introduced into the field of theoretical physics in the 1960s, and it still took Weinberg five or six years to complete the unified theory of the weak electricity.

However, sometimes the trouble with this stuff is just that.

Even if you don't take the initiative to find it, it will automatically come to your door.

These days, Lu Zhou's mailbox has always received some strange emails, including interview invitations from the media, and completely irrelevant abuse. Fortunately, Xiao Ai helped to delete the useless parts and "throw them away", and these spam emails did not have much impact on him.

However, it doesn't seem to be an option to spend so much.

After deliberating for a while, Lu Zhou finally asked Assistant Zhao to arrange a time for him to selectively accept interviews from several foreign media.

Just as Lu Zhou expected, almost at the beginning of the interview, the reporter with a recording pen asked a sharp question.

"About Professor Brian's insistence that you plagiarized his research results in interviews with the BBC, the Daily Mail and other media... What do you think of this matter?"

Lu Zhou smiled lightly.

"There's nothing to see."

The reporter asked in surprise, "You...don't have any opinion?"

"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, and said in a relaxed tone, "If that Mr. Brian can prove the existence of the mass gap by setting up a scalar field on the space-time manifold, I can solve the problem of Yang Mir Full credit goes to him for the Millennium Problem of the Sequence Equation."

This sentence was said lightly, as if he didn't care.

However, to the ears of the surrounding reporters, it was as shocking as a thunderstorm.

All kudos for solving the Young Mills Equation Millennium Puzzle!

Although I have never heard that this honor can still be transferred, but if it is true, this honor alone is enough to make Professor Brian one of the most outstanding mathematical physicists of this century...

Perhaps because he felt that his words were not convincing enough, looking at the stunned reporters around him, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, and continued to add a sentence later.

"Of course, including the Clay Institute's million dollars."

"I can even pay him in advance."

...

The interview was first broadcast on CBS.

Finally, it was reprinted to major video websites such as Youtubie.

Originally, the public opinion was on the side of Professor Brian, and the British media were more inclined to support his point of view. However, Lu Zhou's understatement made those voices who reprimanded Lu Zhou less confident.

A person who doesn't care about fame and wealth at all has no motive for doing such a thing.

perhaps……

There is something else hidden about this matter.

Office at the University of Oxford.

Staring at the computer screen with a livid face, Professor Brian watched the interview video from beginning to end, especially when he heard Lu Zhou's "give it to him", his pupils almost burst into flames.

Chi Guoguo's provocation made him unable to swallow his breath no matter what.

"...You said it yourself."

Squeezing out these words between his teeth, Professor Brian closed the laptop with deep resentment, and took out the manuscript paper from the drawer.

"I'll prove it to you..."

"This line of thinking is definitely feasible..."

"You will pay for your arrogance!"

Immersed in the academic world, time always flies by.

Although it had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling of being so single-minded on research, the power of hatred and anger made his mind extra focused and his mind extremely active. Although narrow-mindedness is not a good thing, but when it becomes the driving force for progress, it might not be able to burst out with extraordinary strength.

In this way, a month passed without knowing it.

The originally trimmed beard has covered the dry lips. His unkempt appearance made it almost impossible to connect him with the gentlemanly Professor Brian.

Sitting in a corner of the office, looking in the direction of the professor, a doctoral student whispered.

"Professor he's crazy..."

Before studying physics, he studied psychology.

From his experience, it was clear that this was a sign of madness.

Hearing this sentence, another doctor sitting next to him hastily lowered his voice to remind.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Professor Brian hear you."

The office is so big that it is impossible not to hear it.

However, for Brian Carroll at this moment, even if he heard it, it doesn't matter...

"This is impossible……"

The muddy pupils stared blankly at the crumpled manuscript paper that had been repeatedly altered. Professor Brian repeated to himself, words that had been repeated countless times since the middle of the month.

Only this time, in his voice, there was a trace of silence like ashes.

Gently put down the pen in his hand, he looked up at the ceiling, and said slowly in a voice neither sad nor happy.

"I proved it."

The moment they heard this sentence, the people in the office were shocked.

There was silence for about five minutes.

The first to break the silence was the only assistant who dared to talk to him at this moment.

I saw the young man in his twenties or thirties swallowed, restrained the trembling caused by excitement, and said in an unbelievable tone.

"You... proved it?"

Prove it!

If Professor Lu's promise is valid, he will not only enjoy the prize of 1 million US dollars, but also the honor of the Yang-Mills equation, becoming the greatest mathematical physicist of this century, and thus becoming famous——

"Yes," Brian looked back at the pile of scratch paper with a bit of melancholy on his face, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "It took me a month to prove that the scalar field of the space-time manifold cannot be used to Studying strong interactions...and in a mathematical sense."

Whether it is the defect of the invariant action in the Euclid spacetime of the torus, or the unprovable fact that the lattice step size tends to the zero-time limit...

All of these flaws are just appearances.

The Huaguo scholar surnamed Luo didn't get to the point, or he himself didn't see it very thoroughly.

The fundamental problem in his thesis is that the scalar field of the space-time manifold itself cannot be used to study the strong interaction. It's as if 1+1 can never be equal to 3, no matter how many times he does factorization, it is impossible to overthrow Peano's axiom.

From the very beginning, that person saw through this, so he was sure that it was impossible for him to do it.

And now, he saw it too.

Although he didn't have that talent, he finally proved it through mathematical methods.

Perhaps he could have named it "Bryan's Theorem", or "Non-Scale Theorem"?

For a moment, Brian, who was laughing at himself, had an epiphany flash in his eyes.

And it was at this moment that he finally understood the meaning of Professor Lu's words...

"If that Mr. Brian can prove the existence of the mass gap by setting up a scalar field on the space-time manifold... Is that what you mean?" On the ground turtle's website, I dug up the video that had faded and watched it again.

With a completely different mood, he watched the video to the end, and a bitter taste gradually appeared in the corner of his mouth.

"...Is this the gap?"

Just relying on his mathematical intuition, he could "guess" the conclusion he had accumulated over ten years and spent a month working hard to prove it. Apart from monsters, he couldn't think of a more suitable word to describe it. he.

Always felt……

I feel more and more unwilling.
