Chapter 176: Knowledge is priceless, and knowledge knows no borders

Large classrooms.

Wang Hao stood on the podium and explained his ideas and methods for proving Goldbach's conjecture.

"I started with group theory, which is a good method of analysis, and then I will be involved in the coverage analysis method."

"This idea is to cover Goldbach's conjecture with analysis, as long as it can be proved that the combination of prime numbers in pairs can cover all even numbers, it can naturally be proved that any even number can be decomposed into the sum of two prime numbers......"

"1 plus 1 equals 2, it is not the only one, there are many, even most even numbers, can be divided into more prime number addition combinations."

"The overlay method does not need to prove all combinations, it only needs to cover all even numbers to ......"

Wang Hao began to explain seriously.

Everyone in the audience listened very carefully, even more seriously than just now, because they heard a new idea, an idea that they had not heard before.

In particular, those who have studied number theory, including some mathematics professors, feel that this idea is likely to work.

There are also people who are anxious for Wang Hao, for example, Zhou Qingyuan.

He felt that such a good idea should be done on his own, rather than publicly telling everyone.

However, he couldn't convince Wang Hao, and Wang Hao had already begun to explain, so it was impossible for him to stop him on stage.

He could only listen patiently and try to understand.

Wang Hao not only explained his own ideas, but also explained in great detail, he explained from the overall idea, and then refined to some related operations.

After explaining for almost half an hour, Wang Hao stopped and said, "This is just a proof idea." ”

"This idea, everyone can think about it, I think it can be proved by the Goldbach conjecture."

"Of course, it is still up to your personal judgment whether it can be proved or not, if someone can rely on this method to complete the proof of the conjecture faster than me......"

"I'm not going to ask for his copyright, I'll congratulate him."

The last sentence is a bit joking, but it also makes everyone feel that kind of open and generous temperament.

For this kind of research, most people will hold back and say nothing, unless it is found that it cannot be proved at the end of the study.

There are some mathematicians who will publish some unfinished proofs, because at the end of their research, they will find that they can't complete the research at all, and it would be a pity not to publish the research.

That's why the content is made public.

Now what Wang Hao said is obviously only part of the proof, and he is very sure that he can complete the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and at the same time, the proof idea is still very innovative, and many people can't help but follow it to think deeply.

Wang Hao publicly stated his unfinished research, and it is very likely that he could prove Goldbach's conjecture, and said that others could prove it, and he would congratulate the other party?

What kind of spirit is this?

Science is open, but the credit for research is personal.

Many people are ashamed to think about it.

They can't understand it.

At the same time, there are also many people who have carefully recorded the content, they feel that Wang Hao's idea is very reasonable, and if they think about it, they may really be able to complete the proof.

Suddenly, my heart was pounding.

This is proof of Goldbach's conjecture!

Even if after completing the proof, it is said that it is a proof completed according to the ideas given by Wang Hao, but the honor of the proof must belong to the individual.

Wang Hao walked off the stage with a smile on his face.

He waved his hand to a few people in the front row, nodded and said a few words, and then left the classroom with the excuse of being a little tired.

A group of people talked about it, "Wang Hao really deserves to be Wang Hao, this kind of research can be published!" ”

"It's ...... Great! ”

"I don't really want to describe him as great, but I don't think I can do such a thing."

"If I can do this kind of research, even if it's just the beginning, I won't tell anyone else."

"I can't do it ...... either"

A lot of mathematics PhDs and professors are admitted that they can't do it, and they don't feel ashamed.

At the same time, for Wang Hao, who can do it, he feels that the mountains are uplifted.

Zhou Qingyuan was still entangled in Wang Hao's disclosure of his research content, he sighed and thought for a long time, and said to Wang Huanxin next to him, "Wang Hao, I feel that I can't understand him anymore, maybe, this is a genius, his thoughts are different from ordinary people." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

Wang Huanxin said, "I don't understand it all the time, and I don't have anything to say. ”

"But even if he says it, it has nothing to do with us. We are already old, Lao Zhou, you must also admit that this kind of research, to give you a beginning, to tell you that this is the beginning that can prove Goldbach's conjecture, can you prove it? ”

"That's right."

Zhou Qingyuan shook his head with a wry smile.

To put it bluntly, what Wang Hao said is just an idea, not to mention whether it can really prove Goldbach's conjecture, even if it can be proven, how many people will continue to study and have the ability to really prove it?

Now that even Wang Hao himself has not proved it, how many more genius mathematicians can be found in the world?

It's just that none of them noticed that there are a few words in Wang Hao's rhetoric--

Faster than me.

……

Wang Hao thought that no one could be faster than him.

He returned to the director's office.

When focusing on research, the director's office is a great place to be, because there is no one to disturb you and you can find a meal for a student or colleague.

The facilities here are also complete, and there are rest rooms inside, so you can live in it 24 hours a day.

He went into the office, sat down and made a cup of coffee before opening the system to check.

[Task 2]

[R&D Project Name: Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture (Difficulty: S. )】

[Inspiration: 147.] 】

(Hint: 100 inspiration points can be used to help you get the correlation of R&D-related inspiration and knowledge.) )

Inspired!

Wang Hao was so satisfied with the effect of the open class, especially at the end of explaining his thoughts and ideas, which directly increased the inspiration value by 64 points.

This was completely unexpected.

"Probably because it's very correlated, even directly correlated."

Wang Hao thought, "If you publish your research ideas, others will follow suit, and if you gather everyone's ideas and inspiration, you will naturally be able to get a lot of inspiration." ”

He immediately consumed 100 inspiration.

"Use Inspiration!"

[Task 2, inspiration -100.] 】

Instantaneous.

The knowledge and inspiration for Goldbach's conjecture in the mind immediately formed a direct pathway.

The direction is clear, and the path to proof is clear.

All that's missing now is to write it out and organize it.

Wang Hao still frowned, "It's not easy to write it, it's been a long time to write so much content." ”

"There are some complicated parts involved, and it needs to be carefully considered, and it is estimated that it will take a week."

"It's so difficult!"

It's decided!

Retreat!

If you don't complete the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, you will never get out!

……

Wang Hao gave an open class to explain Goldbach's conjecture, which only those who participated in Xihai University knew, but because he publicly stated his thoughts and ideas, and clearly stated that this idea and idea, Goldbach's conjecture could be proven.

It's hard to say exactly how many people believe it, but the ideas and ideas he said are really fascinating.

Some mathematics doctors, lecturers, and professors began to think carefully when they went back that day.

Of course, more than nine out of ten people are unlikely to make any progress even if they are thinking.

Some people found that they couldn't think of it at all, so they simply posted the content on the Internet, and at the same time praised Wang Hao's proof ideas.

This is to use a gimmick to attract more likes and comments, and by the way, let others know that they know Wang Hao, and they also listened to Wang Hao's entire public class.

And by the way, I can proudly say, "See? At Xihai University, we can not only hear Wang Hao's public lectures, but also share some good ideas in mathematics. ”

"This time I shared the idea of proving Goldbach's conjecture, which I have never heard of at all, and it is his own research."

"Wang Hao is such a person, he doesn't care that others know about his research, maybe it's confidence, maybe he thinks that knowledge belongs to everyone?"

In fact, the person who shared the news didn't know why Wang Hao's ideas and ideas were very powerful, and it was impossible to determine his thoughts and ideas to prove Goldbach's conjecture.

Of course, no one can be sure of the latter.

He just thinks that Wang Hao is very powerful, and wants to use this gimmick to attract some likes and comments on the Internet to achieve some psychological self-satisfaction.

In fact, the release of similar content excludes Wang Hao's factors, and it is impossible for anyone to watch it at all.

If you search on the Internet, you can find a lot of 'ideas to prove Goldbach's conjecture', and you can also find some rough proofs of Goldbach's conjecture, and even some articles are directly proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

These proofs are not read at all.

Professional people disdain to look at it; Unprofessional people can't read it.

However, with Wang Hao's name, it is different, after the news was posted on the Internet, it still briefly attracted some likes and comments, but no one paid attention to it in the follow-up.

One is because I don't know if the news is true or false.

Second, it is impossible for more than ninety percent of people to understand it, and they will not be interested in it at a glance.

In addition, even Wang Hao himself has not completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, how can he be sure that this idea and idea can be proved?

But there are also professional people among them.

In the math circle, there are many people who know the news and find relevant posts, and carefully check the content.

They couldn't help but think about it after following the content, and at the same time determined that it was probably Wang Hao's research idea, because the content was very professional, and the idea provided was a new way of proof.

As long as I think about it, I feel that it is possible to make progress in this direction.

It's a pretty good piece of content.

At the same time, some people also feel the difficulty.

Wang Hao's ideas are not purely analytical number theory, and some well-earned mathematics doctors can barely understand it, but to continue to think deeply, it requires a very rich knowledge reserve.

To be precise, proficiency in analytic number theory, function theory, and mathematical analysis is required.

This is the most basic.

This foundation excludes the vast majority of scholars in the field of mathematics at once.

Mathematical analysis is the most difficult for most scholars who study basic mathematics to master, because most theoretical studies do not require advanced mathematical analysis methods, and mathematical analysis involves many subjects.

Probability theory, functional analysis, complex analysis, real analysis, etc., many subjects are related to mathematical analysis, and it is very difficult to master mathematical analysis.

Those who are professionally engaged in applied mathematics research are proficient in mathematical analysis, but at the same time, it is difficult for them to be proficient in analytic number theory, which in the eyes of many scholars is fundamentally two fields that do not intersect.

Therefore, just the basic requirements, more than ninety out of ten mathematicians are excluded, they just think the idea is very good, but then think about it, and find that the ability is limited and they can't figure it out at all.

Of course, there are also some scholars who meet the requirements, and they begin to think deeply.

For example, Xu Qiliang of the Center for Mathematical Sciences at Mizuki University.

Xu Qiliang, who specializes in analytic number theory research, applied for a project related to prime number research last year, but failed because of the number of approvals, and Youqing's application was rejected.

This year, I applied for the national general mathematics program.

He knew if the news was told to him by other colleagues in the afternoon of the next day, and then he seriously thought about and researched it, and even carried out more in-depth thinking and deduction on the original basis.

If we use numbers as an example, the content of Wang Hao's explanation is 15 percent of the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

Xu Qiliang spent an afternoon advancing to 18 percent.

Then, the study got stuck.

Xu Qiliang felt that he could continue to think deeply, so he simply found Qiu Chengwen with his research and asked, "Mr. Qiu, do you think Wang Hao's idea can complete the proof of Goldbach's conjecture?" ”

Qiu Chengwen shook his head and said, "It's difficult." No one can be sure what method is effective, Wang Hao can announce it is unexpected, I also read it, I feel that there is a chance, it is difficult to say......"

He's old.

In my seventies, it's hard to come up with new ideas.

Even if you do research, you can't do it, so you can only think about it as a whole and can't make accurate judgments.

He continued, "You'd better judge for yourself. This method is very new, but it is not possible to use one method to prove such a large conjecture. ”

"You can continue to think along the lines of thought, and even if you don't prove it, maybe you can get something."

"The most important thing in the proof of Goldbach's conjecture is not the result, but the process, and some scholars have relied on the proof of Goldbach's conjecture to develop new mathematical methods."

"So, some say, hopefully this conjecture will never be proven."

Qiu Chengwen shook his head as he spoke, and said with a smile, "But in my understanding, it's mainly because they haven't proven it." ”

Xu Qiliang also laughed.

"Keep thinking about it."

"Wang Hao was able to publish the method, maybe he encountered difficulties and did not complete the research."

"Now that it has been announced, let's think about it, and it is not plagiarism to have subsequent research results."

"Hmm."

Xu Qiliang nodded reassuringly.

……

Wang Hao's ideas were just a flash in the pan on the Internet, and few people paid attention to them at all, but they spread in top math circles.

This is mainly because only scholars in the top mathematical circles can understand the content and are qualified to follow the train of thought.

Two days later, the news reached the international community.

It was an international conference on number theory.

Although it is only a small conference held by Austria, it will also address the conjecture of number theory.

Scholars who participated came up with the content.

Everyone looks at it and discusses it together, and they all think it's a good idea, but most people just listen to it.

No one can be sure what method can prove Goldbach's conjecture, even if the method is from the famous young mathematician Wang Hao, but what can it be?

He said that if he can prove it, can he prove it?

New Zealand mathematics professor Seymour Sen also attended, and his main area was partial differential equations, as well as analytic number theory, but with no decent results.

After Seymour Sen attended the meeting, he thought carefully and felt that Wang Hao's thinking and method were very novel, and he couldn't help admiring in his heart, "Wang Hao, you are really a genius!" ”

Mathematics is a discipline that belongs to geniuses.

Seymour Sen was not jealous or anything like that, he remembered his Chinese student Tang Kai.

Some time ago, Tang Kai made him 3,000 dollars, and all he did was solve a partial differential equation.

Later, he contacted Tang Kai several times and knew that Tang Kai was an Internet blogger, and his popularity was still very hot.

"Millions of fans, post a Weibo, when it is popular, hundreds, tens of millions of reads, countless comments!"

What kind of number is this?

New Zealand has a population of only five million.

If you can send a message, five million people will read it, which means that everyone in New Zealand has read it, and it is the hottest topic.

Seymour couldn't imagine what kind of concept it was to post a very ordinary piece of content with the number of reads calculated in units of '10,000'.

In his concept, Tang Kai has become a super Internet celebrity.

Awesome!

Awesome!

It's certainly rich too......

So he frequently talked to Tang Kai and exchanged the feelings between teachers and students, hoping to earn the next three thousand dollars, and he could earn more extra money, which would definitely make him feel good.

Of course, it is also indispensable to show your erudition.

That's it for now.

Seymour sent a message to Tang Kai, "I've been working on number theory recently, and I've found a good idea, and if I think about it, I might prove the Goldbach conjecture." ”

Tang Kai is a professional blogger, who has been facing the computer for a long time, and immediately replied when he saw the message, "What do you think?" ”

"Are you interested?"

"Of course." "I'm a science and technology blogger, and I've always been interested in the study of mathematics. ”

"Tang Kai, you are the best student I have ever had, but you should know that knowledge is priceless......"

Tang Kai understands Seymour too well.

After they chatted a few times, Seymour always mentioned 'remuneration' frequently, and he said very simply, "Mr. Seymourson, if you have a good idea, I am willing to fund the purchase." ”

He did do.

The equation solution provided by Seymour last time allowed him to stabilize his 'scholarly character', and because of the topic traffic at that time, he also increased his fans by 500,000 in one go.

With a stable personality and a growing number of fans, the natural income has increased a lot.

Seymour Sen pondered his words for a moment and added, "That's a very good idea. Tang Kai, I believe in your character, but you have to give me a deposit first, and if you think it's good and willing, you can pay a part of the fee, it's up to you what you think. ”

He didn't say exactly how much, because even if it was a hundred dollars, if you could get it, you would earn it.

"Okay, okay!"

Tang Kai felt that he still had to befriend Seymourson, in case there were complex problems to be solved in the future, having a mathematics professor like Seymour Sen would also be equivalent to having a backing.

He turned over two thousand dollars.

After Seymour received the money, his tone changed, "Tang Kai, you have always been my best student. ”

"Knowledge knows no borders, and I am willing to share this idea with you."

"This idea has been well received by many top mathematicians and is considered to have a good chance of proving Goldbach's conjecture......"

After speaking, Seymour added, "You wait, I'll send it to you after sorting it out." ”

He did sort it out.

It's just that some changes have been made to the content of the content, such as symbols and columns, so that people can't see that the content is the same as the previous meeting.

That's enough.

He knew that with Tang Kai's level, even if he put the two together, he couldn't tell the difference at all.
