Chapter 54: Unclear Perception
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and inside the City Hall, although there was air conditioning and refrigeration, the air-conditioning could not suppress the warm applause of the crowd.
Huang Mingzhe stood on the podium of the Great Hall, clicked the mouse with his fingers, and lines of formulas appeared on the projection screen behind him.
"Due to time constraints, I will briefly talk about the ideas that prove Hodge's conjecture, and if you have any doubts, please ...... ask."
Immediately, the formulas and derivation processes were outlined in an orderly manner by Huang Mingzhe.
Thousands of mathematicians at home and abroad were very quiet, especially Gerd Faltins and Andrew Wiles, all of whom listened quietly, without any sense of finding fault.
However, as time passes, many people begin to lose their patience.
A professor at Stanford University raised his hand.
"Please ask questions." Huang Mingzhe raised it with one hand.
Taking the microphone from the staff, the professor stood up and asked, "Mr. Huang, can you explain the circular fuzzy asymptotic formula on page 66 of your paper, especially the derivation of irregular shapes?" ”
"No problem, there is actually nothing ......complicated about the circular fuzzy progressive formula," Huang Mingzhe explained in a few words.
But the professor looked confused, not so complicated? Are you talking about human words?
"Professor Wade, if you still don't understand, you can read the paper published in 2006 by Dr. Anthony Loveski of Moscow University on the topic of mathematical models of infinite fuzziness."
"Uh......" Professor Wade was a Muggle, and if he continued to ask, he could only appear to be short-sighted, and he could only sit down and search for the paper in his notebook.
Next, many people raised their hands to ask questions, but Huang Mingzhe's answer was impeccable.
No matter how tricky the angle or how small the question, he can answer it smoothly without reading the paper, and convince all the questioners.
"Is this guy still human? 526 pages of papers, he won't memorize them all, will he?" Zhang Wei whispered to Liu Ruochuan on the side.
"......" Liu Ruochuan was also dumbfounded.
The rest of the people present were no better, and it was normal to be able to remember their own papers, after all, they wrote their own papers, but even the citations of the papers and some other books could be remembered, which would be excessive.
After answering the questions of the seven people, the others no longer wanted to ask, or did not dare to ask.
Especially Huang Mingzhe's eyes, as if to say that you should understand this knowledge point, don't you understand? You're not going to be a water pump, are you?
If they don't know how to go back to reading on their own, they are like elementary school students who make mistakes in their homework and are criticized by their teachers.
In the second half hour of the one-hour report, Huang Mingzhe himself sang a one-man show on it, except for Andrew Wiles, Gerd Faltings, Yau Chengtong, Pierre Deligne and other bigwigs can understand.
The others were all confused, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
In addition to shivering, maybe you can only shout 666 in the audience, as a dumbfounded tool man.
Especially those middle-aged professors, they can't directly say that they don't understand, after all, there are not only peers next to them, but also their own students, so they can only pretend to be like this.
In fact, in their hearts, at this moment, they are like 10,000 alpacas galloping, and they understand all the formulas and symbols, but after they are combined, they are completely blinded.
For example, Schultz, he thinks he is a genius, but now he doubts his level, isn't he and Huang Mingzhe studying the same dimension of mathematics?
"Thank you very much for your listening and questions, and this concludes this report." After Huang Mingzhe finished speaking, he bowed to the audience and thanked him.
Bang Bang Bang ...... Although the vast majority of people did not understand, this did not prevent them from applauding like thunder.
The media at the venue also took videos or photos, preparing to go back and write news.
As one of the studios of Thinking.com, the Journal of Truth live-streamed Huang Mingzhe's report.
In the dream live broadcast of Siwei.com, there were many domestic mathematicians who were not present to watch this live webcast, and of course more people who ate melons were watching.
"Come in with a confused face, leave with a confused face." ——The empty nesters of the post-90s
"Who gave you the courage to come in?" - My son Wang Teng
"@九零后空巢老人, don't say you're confused, I'm a doctor of mathematics who is also full of mud, and it is estimated that among those people present, there will be no more than twenty people who can understand." - Asymmetry
"The strong who learns is terrifying." - Comics
"I regret taking revenge on the Department of Mathematics, I should have applied to CUHK if I had known." - The little prince of the Olympiad
"@奥数小王子, the Department of Mathematics at Fudan is also good, and Fudan is also a member university of the Creeper Alliance, so you can apply to CUHK for exchange." - Pinch your fingers
"The Creeper Alliance is shrimp?" - Unclear
"@不明觉厉, you can search for it at the Science House, and you'll know about it." - Pinch your fingers
"My idol is still so handsome!" - Brain-dead powder
"Shengmei has been selling posters and videos from the past of the great god recently, and I feel that Shengmei has lost a lot." - The Martian
The people who eat melons on the Internet are constantly discussing this topic, although there is no recent dominance of the Wandering Starry Sky and Cretaceous Past anime, but the highest number of viewers of this live broadcast is also quite a lot, with the highest peak reaching 5.77 million views.
It can be seen that Huang Mingzhe's influence is increasing day by day.
In the evening, the national news also cut some clips of this mathematics conference, after all, Huang Mingzhe's victory in the Fields Medal is already a sure thing, and it is natural to vigorously publicize it.
Even though there are some tricks in these awards themselves, Huang Mingzhe's achievements have forced them to make a choice.
If the 14-year Fields Medal is not awarded to Huang Mingzhe, it is estimated that the entire mathematical community will doubt the authority and fairness of the Fields Medal.
Anyway, the Norwegian Academy of Sciences has decided to award this year's Abel Prize to Huang Mingzhe.
It is no longer these awards that have made Huang Mingzhe, but these awards need to maintain their authority and fairness, and they have to issue them if they don't give them, it's as simple as that.
The other side.
On July 25, John Klide, director of the Clay Institute, and a group of media reporters found Huang Mingzhe, who was on an academic exchange.
After John Kellide shook hands with Huang Mingzhe: "Mr. Huang, congratulations on solving the Hodge conjecture and adding another glorious page to human mathematics, on behalf of the Clay Institute for Mathematics, I award you a lifetime honorary fellow, as well as a million prize for overcoming the Hodge conjecture. ”
This was followed by a certificate of honor and a $1,000,000 check from Citibank.
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, since people came to send money, Huang Mingzhe naturally smiled: "Thank you very much for the recognition of the Clay Institute and mathematicians around the world." ”
The reporter hurriedly pressed the shutter, and then answered some questions from the reporter, and then National News gave Huang Mingzhe an exclusive interview.
As the leader of the official media, he still has to give some face, and after doing a fifteen-minute interview, Huang Mingzhe got out and left.
On 26 July, the CUHK Mathematics Conference officially ended, and a group of mathematicians returned home with both harvest and frustration.
Huang Mingzhe personally sent Yau Chengtong, Pierre Deligne, Andrew Wiles, Gerd Faltins and others to Baiyun Airport.
Watching the plane leave the ground, he made a phone call to Zhu Xiping and returned directly to Shanmei.
