Chapter 656: Is This the Gap?
"This man is really reversing black and white!"
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was reading the newspaper, Zhao Huan was still a little puzzled in his heart, and said angrily.
How much time Lu Zhou spent studying this problem and how much sweat she put in, she saw it all.
However, this person who "didn't know where to jump out" actually said that Professor Lu had stolen his research results?
In her opinion, it is simply unreasonable!
However, unlike her, Lu Zhou, who was at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, had a calmer expression on his face, looking at the text of the report, and even with a little interest.
After reading the report from beginning to end, Lu Zhou smiled, folded the newspaper back to its original state, and returned it to her casually.
"yes, 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.
"Don't you care at all?"
"There's nothing to worry about," Lu Zhou straightened the scratch paper on the table and said unconcernedly, "It's impossible for the domestic media to report this, and no matter how annoying it is, it can't bother my ears." As for the foreign media, I don't need to worry about it at all, and naturally someone will clarify it. ”
Idea crashes are not an uncommon occurrence in academia. But to say that he borrowed his ideas is too damning.
Nearly half a century has passed since Jaffe's paper published in the Annals of Mathematics, and neither he nor Professor Bryan have been the first to attempt this line of proof in the past half century, but he has just done so.
As for Senior Brother Luo, who really provided him with this proof idea, his name is hanging on that paper at this moment, and he is not happy.
As for why Professor Brian couldn't figure this out......
Maybe he understands, but who wants to understand?
After all, this is an opportunity to go down in history, not to mention that he is a little-known scholar, even a professor who has already won the Nobel Prize will inevitably be tempted.
Putting aside the Daily Mail report, Lu Zhou ignored Professor Brian's accusations and continued to focus on the study of the unified theory of strong electricity.
No matter how close he is to the truth, it will take a lot of time to solve this problem. It's as if the "symmetry-breaking" method was first introduced into theoretical physics in the sixties, and it took Weinberg five or six years to complete the unified theory of weak electricity.
However, sometimes trouble this stuff is just that.
Even if you don't actively look for it, it will come to you automatically.
These days, Lu Zhou always receives some strange emails in his mailbox, including interview invitations from the media and completely unrelated abuse. However, fortunately, Xiao Ai helped to delete the useless parts and "throw them away", and these spam emails did not affect him much.
However, it doesn't seem like a way to do it.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhou finally asked Assistant Zhao to arrange a time for him to selectively accept interviews with several foreign media.
As Lu Zhou expected, almost as soon as the interview began, the reporter with a voice recorder in hand threw a sharp question over.
"About Professor Brian, in an interview with the BBC, the Daily Mail, etc., insisting that you plagiarized his research...... What do you think about this? ”
Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
"There's nothing to see."
The reporter was surprised: "You...... Don't have a little opinion? ”
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, and said in a relaxed tone, "If that Mr. Brian can prove the existence of mass gaps by setting up a scalar field on a space-time manifold, I can give him all the credit for solving the millennial puzzle of the Young Mills equation." ”
This sentence is said lightly, as if it does not care.
However, listening to the ears of the reporters around him, it was as shocking as a thunderbolt.
Full honor for solving the Mills millennial puzzle of the Young Mills equation!
Although it is not heard of that such an honor is transferable, if it is true, it alone is enough to make Professor Bryan one of the most distinguished mathematical physicists of the 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.
"Including, of course, millions of dollars from the Clay Institute."
"I can even pay him upfront."
……
The interview was first broadcast on Colombian Radio and Television.
In the end, it was reprinted on major video sites such as oil turtles.
Originally, public opinion was on Professor Brian's side, and the British media were more inclined to support his views, but Lu Zhou's few understatement words suddenly made those voices who reprimanded Lu Zhou less confident.
A person who doesn't care about fame and fortune at all has no motivation to do such a thing at all.
Maybe......
There is something else to be said about this.
In the office of the University of Oxford.
Staring at the computer screen with a grim face, Professor Bryan saw the interview video from beginning to end, especially when he heard Lu Zhou's sentence "give it to him", his pupils almost erupted with fire.
This Chi Guoguo's provocation made him unable to swallow this breath no matter what.
“…… You said it yourself. ”
Squeezing the words out between his teeth, Professor Bryan closed his laptop in deep hatred and took the manuscript paper out of the drawer.
"I'll prove it to you......"
"This line of thinking definitely works......"
"You will pay for your arrogance!"
Immersed in the world of academics, time always flies.
Although this feeling of being single-mindedly devoted to research has not been experienced for a long time, the power of hatred and anger makes his spirit extraordinarily focused, and also makes his mind extremely active. Although narrow-mindedness is not a good thing, when it becomes the driving force for progress, it may not fail to burst out with extraordinary power.
And just like that, a month passed before I knew it.
The delicately trimmed beard had covered the dry lips. His unkempt appearance made it almost impossible to associate him with Professor Brian, who always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor.
Sitting in a corner of the office, glancing in the professor's direction, a doctoral student whispered.
"Professor, he's crazy......"
Before studying physics, he studied psychology.
Based on his experience, it is clear that this is a sign of madness.
Hearing this, another doctor sitting next to him hurriedly lowered his voice to remind.
"Shhhh
The office is so big that it's impossible not to hear it.
However, for Brian Caro at this moment, even if he hears it, it doesn't matter......
"It can't ......"
His cloudy pupils stared at the crumpled piece of paper that had been altered over and over again, and Professor Brian muttered to himself the words that he had repeated countless times since the middle of the month.
Only this time, there was a hint of silence in his voice.
The pen in his hand was gently lowered, he looked up at the ceiling, and said slowly in a voice without sadness or joy.
"I've got it."
The moment they heard this, the people in the office were shocked.
The silence lasted for about five minutes.
The first to break the silence was the only assistant who dared to talk to him at this time.
I saw that the young man, who was about twenty or thirty years old, swallowed and spit, restrained the trembling caused by the excitement, and said in an unbelievable tone.
"You...... Certificated? ”
The proof is out!
If Professor Lu's promise is valid, he will not only receive an exclusive prize of $1 million, but will also have the honor of Young Mills' equations, becoming the greatest mathematical physicist of this century, and thus becoming famous.
"Yes," Brian said in a self-deprecating tone, looking back at the pile of scratch paper with a look of melancholy on his face, "It took me a month to prove that scalar fields of space-time manifolds cannot be used to study strong interactions...... And in a mathematical sense. ”
Whether it is the defect of the invariant action in the space-time of the torus Euclid, or the unprovability of the lattice step when it approaches the zero limit......
All of these flaws are just appearances.
The Chinese scholar surnamed Luo didn't get to the point, or he didn't actually read it very thoroughly.
The fundamental problem with his paper is that the scalar field of the spatiotemporal manifold itself cannot be used to study strong interactions. It's as if 1+1 can never equal 3, and no matter how many times he does factoring, he can't overturn Piano's axioms.
From the very beginning, the man saw through this, so he was convinced that he could not do it at all.
And now, he sees it too.
Although he didn't have that talent, he proved it in the end through mathematical methods.
Perhaps, he could name it "Brian's theorem", or "non-standard theorem"?
Suddenly, Brian, who was in a self-deprecating state, had a hint of epiphany in his eyes.
And it was at this moment that he finally understood the meaning of Professor Lu's words......
"If that Mr. Bryan could prove the existence of mass gaps by setting up a scalar field on a space-time manifold...... So that's what you mean? With this sentence repeated in his mouth, he logged on to the website of the turtle and re-read the video that had faded in popularity.
With a completely different mood, after watching the video at the end, the corners of his mouth gradually appeared with a trace of bitterness.
“…… Is this the gap? ”
With just his mathematical intuition, he could "guess" the conclusion that he had relied on more than ten years of accumulation and spent a month of all his efforts to prove, and he really couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe him than a monster.
I always feel ......
I became more and more unwilling in my heart.
