Chapter 172: They have to experience failure to know that arguments are meaningless!
The meeting room was filled with silence.
Shao Yuming felt very embarrassed, he hoped that others would react, but everyone looked at Wang Hao and didn't say a word for a long time.
Zhang Hongxin was also embarrassed.
He even froze his expression, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, and he continued to remain motionless, as if he didn't know how to react for a while.
Everyone else was a little embarrassed too.
They thought about it carefully, just now Wang Hao did talk about proving the smoothness of the exact solution set of the NS equation under the value of conventional application, but no one believed it at all, or they thought that what Wang Hao said was a proof on the blog.
Then they did two hours of continuous computational work.
Now that I have listened to Shao Yuming's words, I know that Wang Hao has indeed made a proof, in other words, they have all done useless work, and the calculation of two hours is meaningless at all.
This is because he didn't listen carefully to Wang Hao's words and didn't believe what he said.
"But that's okay!"
A lot of people don't seem to need to be embarrassed when they think about it.
At that time, when the meeting was going on, they did not speak at all, and since they did not speak, they hid their distrust in their hearts, and no one else would know.
So why be embarrassed?
Now the embarrassed ones should be the people who refuted Wang Hao, that is, Shao Yuming and Zhang Hongxin, and they didn't say anything or do anything.
Ah Q Spiritual Victory Law, in effect!
The others immediately surrounded Wang Hao, and someone took the lead in speaking, "Congratulations, Professor Wang, you have completed another big mathematical research!"
When the first person spoke, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder you said you had proof just now, so we shouldn't waste time here doing calculations!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Professor Wang, congratulations, I have just won the Natural Science Award and published my results in a top journal."
"What a young man, a real mathematical genius!"
Someone else remembered Wang Hao's paper, "Let's study Professor Wang's paper together!"
"Anyway, it's not easy for everyone to get together."
"Makes sense!"
Some people have turned on the computer to find the latest issue of "New Advances in Mathematics", but they can only see the title on the Internet - "Smoothness of NS Equation Solution with Fixed Range Value".
It is impossible to get the physical version now, and you can't check the content of the paper at all.
Still, that's okay!
Wang Hao is here!
Someone stood up and continued, "Wang Hao, Academician Shao is right, anyway, everyone has already gotten together, it's not easy, let's study your paper."
Wang Hao is naturally indispensable.
Anyway, the papers have already been published, and everyone can study them if they want to, so he logged on to the website and downloaded his paper, and sent it to everyone else.
At this time, the only embarrassed ones were Zhang Hongxin and Shao Yuming.
Zhang Hongxin was the most embarrassed, he presided over the seminar on applied mathematics, the purpose is to study the NS equation, use the range of application field to take the value, to do calculations, with a large number of mathematical foundation operations, to provide confidence in related application fields.
As a result, the theory has been proven, and the seminar naturally loses its meaning.
In addition, he felt even more embarrassed when he thought that Wang Hao was sure that he had proved the smoothness of the ns equation under the conventional value.
Wang Hao said very clearly, it was indeed he who misunderstood.
That's right, misunderstanding!
Zhang Hongxin still walked over cheekily, "Professor Wang is really sorry, it was indeed a misunderstanding just now, I thought you were talking about the one on the Internet, but I didn't expect you to prove it."
"Your genius has really exceeded my expectations......
This sentence brought back face.
Wang Hao was refuted a few words just now, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he heard Zhang Hongxin already say so
, there really can't be anything more.
Zhang Hongxin also spoke out to everyone, and they all understood it this way.
When things were said and done, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Wu Hui also felt quite embarrassed, and now he finally understood why Wang Hao had been talking about the meeting since the morning.
It turns out that people have proven it!
"That's not right!"
Wu Hui suddenly realized a problem, he reacted violently, and shouted in surprise, "Wang Hao! You proved the smoothness of the NS equation?"
This voice made everyone else look over.
It's too late, it's too soon.
In fact, since Shao Yuming walked in the door and said the news, it has only been about two minutes until now, and many people have not reversed, and the embarrassment has just passed.
Now they all reacted, and their faces suddenly showed shocked looks.
What is the smoothness of the solution of the NS equation?
Isn't that one of the seven math puzzles of the millennium?
Wang Hao explained, "It's just a part, the proof is a limited range of values, not all the values, and I haven't found a proof method for the problem of infinite values."
"Even the range value is amazing, it's the NS equation!"
"yes, this should be the biggest breakthrough in recent decades, right? It must be Fields-level research!"
"I just realized that this is one of the millennial math problems!"
"Absolutely the best results in the world!"
After the shock ended, they hurriedly studied Wang Hao's paper together.
Just now, some people thought that they came to the seminar and were very involved in computing for two hours, but the underlying logic has been proven, and everything has become useless.
Now they all feel like they've come to the right place!
Even if it is only the first time to see it, the papers that are destined to be valued by the international mathematical community are already completely worth the trip.
……
This is indeed a mathematical achievement with great influence.
After the publication of Wang Hao's paper, it immediately became the most concerned research in the current issue of New Advances in Mathematics.
Martin Hale, a famous Austrian mathematician and one of the giants in the field of partial differential equations, commented on the paper, "This proof has made substantial and great progress in the study of the smoothness of the NS equation."
"At the same time, the research has laid the foundation for the application of the NS equation, which is a great achievement!"
Great, the word is not used casually.
Generally, it will only be used to evaluate the world's top research that can promote the development of human science and technology.
This shows the influence of Wang Hao's research.
From the perspective of mathematical theory, Wang Hao has completed the smoothness proof of part of the NS equation solution.
This part is only about "one-third", and it may not even be far from it, because there is a huge difference between finite and infinite values.
For example, there is almost no difference between proving the value of 1~100 and proving the value of 1~10000.
This is because the range covered by finite values is too small and too small compared to proving negative infinity to positive infinity.
The two are not the same concept at all.
However, from the perspective of applied mathematics, Wang Hao's research contribution is very large, and his results make all related applications no longer have to worry about the possible failure of the NS equation.
This is to make the study of mathematical theory really play a supporting role in applied mathematics.
Bruce Pulitzer believes that Wang Hao's research is the result of "half Fields", and his evaluation criteria are based on the contribution of mathematical theory.
However, this half of Fields' work is much more significant to applied mathematics than most Fields-level results.
However, the Fields Medal attaches more importance to the role of mathematical theory research rather than the promotion of application fields.
Anyway, Wang Hao's research
The impact is very large.
The international mathematical community has paid close attention to his papers, as well as scholars in the field of NS equation applications.
For the time being, the media in China that have not received the news, or have noticed and reported on it, have not received much attention.
Domestic reports still revolve around Wang Hao's winning the first prize in natural science.
At the age of 26, Wang Hao won the first prize in natural sciences, becoming the youngest winner of the natural science award.
At the same time, he is also the youngest scholar in this science and technology award conference, and the only scholar younger than 30 years old.
Some media reported on Wang Hao's research, and some gave him a detailed introduction, which made many people know more about Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao won the first prize in natural science", rushing to the sixth place in the morning Internet popularity.
But that's not the hottest.
There is an entry with the third highest ranking popularity, which is also directly related to Wang Hao, and the keyword of popularity is a little strange, which is "mathematical analysis lottery".
"Mathematical Analysis Lottery"?
Many people saw this content, and after clicking on it, it was a related interview report.
"If you could mathematically analyze the lottery results, buy the corresponding numbers, and win the jackpot, would you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
The comments below are naturally "very fulfilling".
"I really want to be able to do this, so that I don't have to go to work anymore and analyze the lottery every day to become rich."
"The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming! Professor Wang Hao, YYDS, tell me the next winning number!"
"Kneel down and beg for the winning numbers!"
Many people even commented on Wang Hao's Weibo, hoping that he could help analyze the winning numbers of the next draw of a certain lottery.
In the same interview, Wang Hao said another paragraph that also caused heated discussions.
"When we buy lottery tickets, we assume it's all about luck, and there is no human intervention?"
Someone immediately analyzed, "Is this an inside story in the connotation lottery lottery?"
"It must be in the connotation!"
"It turns out that this is the reason why I can't win 5 million, the society is too dark!"
「……」
A lot of content on the Internet will always be artificially amplified and misinterpreted.
In fact, Wang Hao was only subconsciously thinking mathematically, and he needed to eliminate all possibilities of interference.
The human factor, naturally, is one of the possibilities.
The logic is 100% correct only if all distractions are eliminated.
However, after being analyzed like this, it seems that he has an inside story in the connotation lottery lottery, which has also caused a boiling of public opinion, and many people have started conspiracy theories.
Lottery draws, whether there is a problem or not, no one can say.
However, after Wang Hao's sentence was deeply analyzed, it is obvious that the person in charge of the relevant institution may have a headache for this.
……
The popularity of public opinion tends to decline rapidly over time.
It is difficult for a mathematician to last long, even if he wins the first prize in natural science, in fact, most people do not care, because genius is far away from their lives.
What no one expected was that the heat was still there in the afternoon, but the topic turned to Wang Hao's latest research results.
After all the good multimedia began to report, the heat naturally followed.
Some bloggers have also begun to explain the significance of Wang's latest work, and in addition, it is also the NS equation problem, which is one of the most difficult problems of millennial mathematics.
This topic continued to be hot in the morning.
A lot of people were involved in the discussion.
Most people don't understand what the NS equation is, but that doesn't stop them from discussing it, "I don't understand what it is, but it feels amazing."
"Professor Wang Hao's research is very good."
"Professor Wang Hao is really a god, he is only 26 years old, and with so many achievements, he has begun to challenge top mathematical problems, and he has achieved certain results."
"In the future, I would like to call Professor Wang Hao a "god"!"
"The king god?"
"God-King!"
Wang Hao didn't expect that he would have an extra title for some reason, and it sounded like he couldn't bear it at all.
When he was dining in the cafeteria of Capital University at noon, he was surrounded by many students, but fortunately, the students were still very qualified, and they did not come around to disturb him, and most of them discussed in small voices from afar.
After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, it was different, many reporters were already waiting there, and they would definitely take advantage of the heat to cover a wave.
After Wang Hao briefly answered two questions, he found that the questions were asked one after another, and he ran into the hotel after finding a vacancy.
The next day, the heat dropped somewhat, but there were still reporters squatting in front of the hotel.
Wang Hao hurriedly flashed.
He bought a temporary ticket and flew back to Xihai City directly.
It doesn't feel so good to be a math star, the main thing is that Wang Hao doesn't make money with his personal image, he is not a real star, but a pure scholar.
Scholars, you don't need heat.
It's nice to be in the news if you're only interviewed occasionally, but it's a bit annoying to have too many interviews.
This time, Wang Hao went back by himself, because Zhu Peng still had to stay in the capital for a few days.
After getting off the plane from Xihai Airport, Wang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, and after walking out of the airport, he saw the person who came to pick up the plane, which was specially sent by the school.
Wang Hao has obtained the first class in natural science, and his popularity in public opinion is uninterrupted, the school naturally attaches great importance to it, and they even sent two security guards to help.
However, Wang Hao bought a ticket temporarily, and the trip was very sudden, and there were still reporters waiting for interviews, but there were only two people.
Wang Hao did not accept the interview, not that he played a big name, but because the other party was an entertainment reporter, if he was an academic reporter or a regular TV reporter, he would definitely be interviewed.
The school has already prepared an interview.
Wang Hao went back to rest for a while, and then accepted a formal interview the next day and won the first prize in natural science, which naturally attracted much attention.
Putting aside the issue of public opinion, there are also many reporters who want to interview Wang Hao.
The weight of the first prize in natural sciences is completely different from that of the Chern Prize in mathematics.
On average, the Chern Prize in Mathematics has one winner a year, while the First Prize in Natural Sciences has only three winners in mathematics for decades.
The meaning of the two awards is also different.
The Chern Prize in Mathematics is only an award of the Mathematical Society, while the Natural Science Prize is a national award, representing a great contribution to national scientific research, and the nature of affirmation is much greater than the award itself.
Seohai University also attaches great importance to it.
A special meeting was held within the school, and it has been decided to make a special promotion for Wang Hao, from a fourth-level professor to a second-level professor.
This is no longer something that the school can decide unilaterally, but it has to be reported to the province and even to the national department.
Wang Hao won the first prize of natural science, and he was specially promoted to a second-level professor, so naturally there is no problem.
In fact, this award is enough for a first-class professor, but Wang Hao's age is too young, and his teaching years are completely insufficient.
It is very difficult to move up to the full professor level, and there are many rules for each level of promotion.
The number of years of teaching is also one of them.
To put it bluntly, a professor is a kind of teaching position, and naturally there are requirements for teaching years, and it is already quite remarkable to be specially promoted to a second-level professor.
Full professor, with each level, the difficulty is very high, even higher than all the levels below associate professor combined.
Many PhDs who have graduated from universities can become associate professors when they enter a university, but they want to teach from the fourth level
Promoted to a third-level professor, you may not be able to achieve it in a lifetime.
Not to mention, the vast majority of professors who are above the second-level professors can't be touched at all.
First-level professors are the highest level, and the lowest ones are also qualified to be rated academicians, and many of them have already been rated as academicians before they will be promoted to first-class professors.
After Wang Hao returned to Xihai University, except for being interviewed by some reporters, his life was still very leisurely.
It's the end of the semester again, and several courses are over.
He was relaxed for a few days.
Then I went to the physics lab, because the new equipment and materials in the lab were in place, and I was ready to start experiments.
Wang Hao still attaches great importance to the project of the physics laboratory.
When he left Capital University, Wu Hui also talked to him about the problem of communicating gravity research, and the other two large laboratories have already started the first round of experiments, and even entered the second round of experiments, while the physics laboratory has not officially started experiments.
This time gap is about half a month.
"Normally, a comparative study like this would take a dozen experiments to produce results." Wu Hui said with certainty, "No more than twenty times. A dozen experiments can provide a lot of data."
"In terms of the efficiency of the superconductivity laboratory, it is estimated that it can be completed in three months at the earliest, and no more than half a year at the latest."
These are Wu Hui's exact words.
Wang Hao also had a sense of urgency, knowing that the physics laboratory was ready, and immediately came over to participate in the experimental research.
Physics Laboratory, Director's Office.
He Yi was busy sorting out the materials and informing everyone to prepare for the meeting, when he asked Wang Hao, "Do you want to start today?" However, the expert team from the Science Foundation is coming, why don't we entertain you?"
Wang Hao said indifferently, "What are you entertaining? They're just going through the motions, and our research is what matters."
A team of experts from the Science Foundation came to investigate.
In fact, they did not send an expert group, just a few people to the physics laboratory to have a look, record, and go through the motions.
The project has been decided and will definitely be approved.
However, the rule is that before a big project can be reviewed, the Science Foundation must send a team of experts.
Wang Hao was not in the mood to entertain the people of the Foundation, so he hurriedly asked everyone in the laboratory to come over and organize everyone to hold a discussion meeting to demonstrate how to conduct the experiment first.
As for the Science Foundation, the review speed of the grant is too slow, and it says that the grant will be made after the year, who knows if the research will be completed by then?
Wang Hao didn't care at all.
When the expert team of the Science Foundation arrived at Xihai University, they were very embarrassed to find that there was no one to entertain them at all.
It was Zhu Jianhua who came to greet him, and there was not even a person in the physics laboratory.
"We're just going through the motions, but that's too much." Someone in the expert group couldn't help but complain.
There was no one in the physics lab to entertain them, but they had to go anyway.
Fan Qingxue is the head of the expert group, and he is also the only superconductivity expert among the visitors.
In fact, because it was just sending people to go through the motions, the Science Foundation did not send "experts" at all, but only sent a few ordinary staff members, some of whom were not even physics majors.
Fan Qingxue was specially designated by Wu Hui, he wanted Fan Qingxue to help the physics laboratory, give special guidance for the experiment, and even stay to help, in order not to let the physics laboratory "lose too badly".
The other two institutions that did not receive funding from the Foundation completed their research quickly and efficiently, while the Physics Laboratory did not produce any results to speak of, and the Foundation gave the Physics Laboratory a grant, which is not very good to say.
Even if it's a predetermined project, you must at least look at it.
Fan Qingxue complained a little about the fact that no one came to entertain him in the physics laboratory.
When I arrived at the physics lab and saw that the lab was busy, the complaint in my heart was slightly soothed, "They guess it's too."
Busy, forgot."
That's what he thought.
When I got to the physics lab, there were still people to entertain me.
Zhang Feng was in charge of entertaining the expert group, taking them on a tour of the physics laboratory, and then introducing the preparation of the experiment.
Because of the experimental experience, the laboratory preparation is relatively sufficient.
Fan Qingxue also had a bottom in his heart, and he asked, "Are you ready to start the experiment?" Looks like we're going to have an experiment today?"
He was referring to the fact that the lab was busy.
"I don't know." Zhang Feng shook his head, "It still depends on Professor Wang Hao."
As they spoke, they heard someone shouting, "Zhang Feng, it's almost time for a meeting!"
"It's coming!"
Zhang Feng replied, looked at the experts with some apologies, and then trotted to the conference room.
The members of the expert group also simply went to the conference room.
When he entered the conference room, Fan Qingxue finally saw Wang Hao, he just wondered why he didn't see the person in charge, it turned out that they were all in the conference room, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Are you avoiding us?"
Because the meeting had not officially begun, Fan Qingxue and Wang Hao said hello, and then walked over and whispered, "Academician Wu asked me to help."
"Thank you!"
Wang Hao thought that the expert group was just here to go through the motions, but he didn't expect that there was a "own person" inside, and he suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic, "We are too busy today, we have to prepare to start the demonstration, and we also have to prepare for the experiment, so I didn't bother to entertain you, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, Professor Wang, let's listen to the meeting too, don't get in the way?"
"That's so welcome!"
Wang Hao warmly beckoned several people from the expert group to sit next to him.
Taking advantage of the fact that the meeting had not yet started, Fan Qingxue chatted with Wang Hao again, "You have a meeting, do you want to assign experimental work?"
"We're working on theories together." Wang Hao said.
"Huh?"
Fan Qingxue was a little stunned when he heard this, and he subconsciously said, "What theory do you need to study? Just do the experiments and compare the data."
"No."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "The theoretical meeting must be held, and we need to demonstrate how to carry out the experiment with the greatest efficiency, and strive to draw conclusions with the least number of experiments."
「……」
Fan Qingxue felt that the research method Wang Hao said had been out of his own knowledge, and couldn't help but think, "Is it because Professor Wang Hao is doing mathematical research?"
"That's right!"
"He doesn't know how to study physics, he doesn't know how to study superconductivity. No wonder Academician Wu asked me to come!"
Fan Qingxue felt that he fully understood, and he immediately said, "Professor Wang, Academician Wu asked me to help, I will make a suggestion, you will assign the experimental work, and then directly conduct the experiment, do the experiment continuously, do the data comparison, and naturally get the results."
Wang Hao shook his head, "Professor Fan, I said, we have to study the theory first."
He thought for a moment and explained, "Let's put it this way, Professor Fan. How likely do you think we would be able to do it in a normal way, faster and more efficiently than in the superconducting lab?"
"This ......"
Fan Qingxue wanted to say "the possibility is zero", but he said it more implicitly, "It's a little possible."
"No way!"
Wang Hao said with certainty, "There is a big gap between us and the superconducting laboratory in terms of personnel, experience level, R&D funds, equipment, etc. So, if we want to surpass them, we can't use conventional methods."
Fan Qingxue felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but nod.
Wang Hao continued, "That's why we have to do theoretical arguments, and we have to find the most efficient experimental methods."
"Uh~~"
Fan Qingxue was a little stunned when he heard this, and he found that he couldn't refute it at all.
However, the theory is demonstrated
?
What other theoretical arguments are there for comparative experiments? Isn't that just a waste of time!
However, Fan Qingxue found that he had no way to refute it, after all, what Wang Hao said was very reasonable, so he simply sat aside.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think in my heart, "No wonder Academician Wu asked me to come, it's so unprofessional!"
"What else do you do to ...... theoretical arguments?"
"And he doesn't listen to persuasion, he doesn't listen to persuasion at all!"
"It seems that they still have to go through a failure before they realize that what theoretical arguments are meaningless!"
(Ask for a commuter pass)
