Chapter 125: I'm a Mathematician (Supplement)
"Listening to your tone, it seems that the views of foreigners are more accurate than those of our natives?" Jun Xin looked at Li Qundao with a smile.
"Naturally not, I just want to know what you think about it." Just kidding, Li Qun didn't dare to admit this question, after all, no matter how he was a person in the system, how could he admit such a problem?
"I don't have a problem with this or this view." Junxin didn't ask boring questions, but said, "To be honest, other people's opinions have always had little impact on me, and I have always only believed in the results I have obtained from practice. There is no absolute affirmation and absolute negation in this world. β
"In the Manhattan Project, the leader of the calculation team seems to be Mr. Wu Chien-shiung, a famous Chinese scientist, and among the microorganisms, Chlamydia trachomatis in the eight bacterial groups was discovered by Mr. Tang Feifan. In fact, I want to show that in scientific research, the Chinese people are not weaker than others, and the Chinese nation is not weaker than others. As for your Canadian professor friend, I can only say I'm sorry. In fact, without understanding the Chinese nation, you will never understand the cultural heritage and creativity of this nation. β
"Okay, thank you for your answer." Li Qun said, "To be honest, I really can't treat you as a teenager, in my opinion, you are more like a middle-aged person who has experienced vicissitudes, what makes you so calm to face everything?" β
"Probably something to do with my experience!" Junxin pondered for a long time before he said such a sentence, "For an orphan like me, who has no father or mother, I will always think a little more than others, and there are a lot of things to think about, very miscellaneous, sometimes even too unfounded, sometimes it may be too realistic, but in general, the more I think, the more I understand." This may also be a kind of life experience, at least it has taught me to keep a clear head at all times, so that I can be calm about everything! β
"Are you an orphan?" Li Qun asked in surprise, and before he knew it, he had already given Jun Xin an honorific title.
"Yes, I didn't know who my parents were when I was born, but it was the dean's grandfather who picked me up and raised me. I grew up in an orphanage, and the only clue I know about my identity is a jade pendant engraved with the word "Jun" on it, but the jade pendant was given by me, and the money I received was used to pay for my schooling, so I was able to go to high school and get admitted to university. Fortunately, because I solved the Modell conjecture, the school waived all the tuition fees and gave me the highest scholarship, plus my research work started quickly, I basically didn't spend much of the research fund allocated by the school, and the rest was decided by the school as my reward, so I was the first person to get rich because of my research. At the end, Junxin also made a joke.
"You have taken away the jade pendant of your identity, don't you have any nostalgia for your past?" Li Qun is still entangled in the issue of Junxin's life experience.
"Just know that there is such a jade pendant, and if you do, you will be it." Jun Xin said indifferently, he was originally a traverser, and the only thing he cared about about this body was the director of the orphanage who raised him, and he really didn't care about other things. But if you don't care about it, it doesn't mean that you like to take it out and say it everywhere.
Perhaps he saw that Junxin was unhappy, so Li Qun quickly changed the topic: "When we chatted just now, I could see that you didn't seem to be too concerned about the Nobel Prize, why is this?" β
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Junxin asked suspiciously.
"Well, there is such a thing!" Li Qun nodded affirmatively.
"Well, forget it!" Junxin said indifferently.
"So, why do you have such an idea?"
Junxin replied: "Actually, if you want to talk about the answer, I have always emphasized it, you know, I have always been a student of mathematics, and I can be regarded as a mathematician, not a physicist, nor a chemist, let alone a biologist. For us mathematicians, the Nobel Prize is nothing, even though its influence is the greatest in the world. And in the minds of our mathematicians, the highest prize in mathematics has always been the Fields Medal. β
Of course, this is not very accurate. On the European continent, mathematicians, led by the Institut des Hautes Etudes et al-Hautes Etudes et al-Γtudes Γtudes de France (ESC), valued the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, which had not been established for a long time. American mathematicians, led by the Department of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, in the United States, value the Fields Medal even more. And the mathematicians in the USSR, led by Moscow University, did not pay attention to these at all, they did their research only out of love, and as for whether they won the prize or not, whocares! β
"So, I really don't think so much about the Nobel Prize, because I'm a mathematician!" Junxin ended his speech, but added a sentence in his heart: It's not the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Very good and powerful reason, at least this very powerful reason suppressed Li Qun and Wang Sheng, and after listening to Jun Xin's answer, these two people were all stunned.
After a long time, Li Qun, who was an old bird among reporters, came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I have interviewed many big people, but I have never met someone like you... Belch... Domineering words. You're really making me... Impressed..."
"It's speechless!" Junxin did not hesitate to expose. After a pause, ignoring Li Qun's embarrassed expression, he continued, "There is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, so for mathematicians, it is not attractive for mathematicians to understand the formulas at a glance or even better than the people who use them. Of course, this is also the reason why the Nobel Prize in mathematics was not awarded in the end. β
"Oh, won't it?" Li Qun was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, he didn't know that there was such a thing in the scientific community.
"It's just a statement." "But personally, I believe in the second theory, which is that Nobel stopped his public school education at the age of 16 and never went to university in his life, and his knowledge came from a Russian organic chemist, and it was only with nitroglycerin that he was born with such a versatile and dangerous substance." Throughout Nobel's life, his inventions were almost entirely based on intuition and imagination, and there was no systematic extrapolation from mathematics. The mathematical knowledge used in his research did not exceed addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and he did not even open and multiply, so he naturally did not realize the great role of mathematics in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries and beyond, so he did not set up a mathematics prize. β
"I see!" Li Qun felt very excited, there were still many interesting things in the scientific world that he didn't understand. "It's not too early, we won't bother you, last question, do you have any arrangements lately?"
"There are no recent schedules, but in two days there will be the closing ceremony of the conference, and I will be the keynote speaker at the closing ceremony of the conference when I am entrusted by the conference, if you have time, you can come and see it live."
"Okay, I'll be there to watch your presentation!" Li Qun stood up and stretched out his hand towards Junxin, "Goodbye, Mr. Junxin." β
"Goodbye!"
