Chapter 20 Alma mater reaction
Shocked! The author of children's rhymes did such a sensational thing"
Are the authors of children's rhymes all big guys? 》
Goldbach's conjecture was proved by the author of the children's rhyme! 》
"The Nobel Prize in Mathematics was locked in advance, and the winner was ......"
"This time, it's my own nationality!" 》
After a day of fermentation, especially with the news coming from the other side of the ocean, it was directly fried.
Even if the prize in mathematics is too far away from ordinary people, after all, it is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, and it is also the first Chinese of Chinese nationality.
Naturally, it is able to dominate the list for a period of time.
Even the hard-mouthed Fang Boat could only jump out and post an explanation at this time
"What I'm against is that Master Yi doesn't behave well, and it is obvious to all that he has affected the image of the Chinese people in this way, and this will not disappear because of any academic achievements! Having the Aura Protector now naturally makes people lose sight of the negative effects of this.
"Since they all misunderstood me, then I won't reply to this question anymore."
It is equivalent to unilaterally declaring victory and then playing dead.
But as a result, Fang Chuan's explanation had just come out, and a huge anti-'academic discrimination' movement was suddenly set off on the side of the beautiful country.
Science, Nature, and Cell, the three major journals, have all announced that they will cease publication for a single issue.
Journals such as The Lancet, Journal of Clinician Cancer, and Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States also announced the closure of one issue to support the event.
One after another, scientific researchers came out to tell their stories, and various scholars of Asian, African, and Hispanic came out to speak out, as if they had been afraid to speak out in secret before, but now they dare to come out.
At this time, some 'insiders' anonymously revealed a lot of inside information to the BBC and other media.
For example, two-thirds of authors and reviewers are white, while Blacks, Latinos, and Indigenous Americans combined make up less than 10 percent, and Pacific Islanders and Asians together make up about a quarter.
Scholars still value referrals if they want to publish their work in top journals.
Obviously, white people have an advantage in this area, and other ethnic groups may have a harder time breaking into the academic world, and their work may be harder to be noticed, which will lead to a lack of diversity in the academic community.
Because of the threshold and barriers of the academic world itself, it was difficult for some political correctness to break through in the past, but this time after Wang Yi poked a hole from the inside, it suddenly opened up a new battlefield.
All kinds of 'right', which had long since conquered all walks of life, began to launch a fierce attack on the high ground of the academic circle.
It's not just racial discrimination anymore, but also the fact that the percentage of female academics is not high!
This must be due to stereotypes about women!
If there is no Wang Yina's post, it can still be argued that academic achievements are academic achievements, but there is indeed a person here who was rejected because of discrimination, and this defense can be directly dismantled.
Is it true that in the past, a large number of female scholars rejected their manuscripts because they were discriminated against?
Frustrated because of rejection, so you give up your scientific research career?
For a time, this offensive instantly detonated the entire Western media, and Wall Street also shook violently.
And Wang Yi's special article was frantically forwarded and commented, as if it was a beacon that pierced the darkness.
This continuous burst of news directly swollen Fang Chuan's face, but fortunately, he had already sent a 'no longer responding', and directly pretended to be dead and closed the comment, just as the world was peaceful and nothing happened.
Even Wang Yi himself was quite surprised, although he originally used the topic of political correctness to lead it, but there must be a driving force behind the scenes that has set off such a big wave.
But it doesn't matter, everyone is win-win, and if the interests are the same, that is, friendly forces......
……
Academy of Sciences, Faculty of Mathematical Sciences.
The Academy of Sciences itself is a relatively 'low-key' school, but even if it is 'low-key', it cannot hide the horror of its own heritage.
As far as the School of Mathematics alone is concerned, there is an ultra-luxurious lineup of academicians and 24 professors, and the number of associate professors is less than half of the professors.
When they learned that the person who proved the Goldbach conjecture was actually a student who had graduated from the Academy of Sciences, the entire Faculty of Mathematical Sciences was stunned.
What's going on? Why don't we know!
No one in the alumni group said it? Originally, this kind of proof is usually a normal operation when the news comes out of the alumni group first, why is it so caught off guard?
At first, they were still sighing that there was a fierce person in the domestic mathematics community, but they didn't know who it was.
As a result, now the fierce man is actually taught by us?
"Check, which one is it!"
Academician Li rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the crown angrily, giving the order to die.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was directly demolished.
"Oh, I found out, it's not from our college, it's an undergraduate graduate from the School of Computer Science and Technology next door......"
For a while, the scene couldn't help but be silent.
In this internal meeting of the School of Mathematical Sciences, in the luxurious lineup with more professors than associate professors, you guys, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to describe the mood at this time.
Among them, there are some professors of applied mathematics, and their research directions are indeed related to computers, which is also one of the relatively popular directions of mathematics at present.
But Goldbach's conjecture, a pure number conjecture, was proved by an undergraduate student at the School of Computer Science next door?
Where is our face headed?
"I'll take him to read my ......"
An old professor in his fifties was directly interrupted by Academician Li as soon as he spoke
"Close, close!"
After the interruption, he sighed
"With this ability, if he really wants to, he won't read it directly? Now after the proof comes out, let alone studying, places like Princeton may send him an invitation to professors. ”
Although Princeton University is also private, it has an extremely strong academic atmosphere, which is a bit of a polar opposite to the University of Pennsylvania.
The most profitable business schools, medical schools, and law schools have always been unorganized, and the tsundere ones are not.
To prove Goldbach's conjecture, it is extremely normal for Princeton to hire directly as a professor, and you still want to accept others as students? I want to have peaches!
In fact, they have also checked the proof process, the imagination is unreasonable, the angle is tricky, the whole process is interlocking, and some mathematical tools in the proof process alone are extremely useful.
"So, we'll ask you too?"
"Take a special passageway?"
"This kind of award, make a report quickly, special affairs!"
“……”
The Academy of Sciences is a typical top to rely on, and it also has the right to independently review professional titles!
Although the review has an extremely cumbersome process and requires an application in person, there is still a high probability that the special report will be approved.
After all, it is a worldwide problem, and there is a domestic blank!
However, in terms of speed and efficiency, it is certainly not as good as those private ones, but this path and direction is feasible.
"Let's find a way to contact him for advice first, I always think it's not useful if we discuss it here."
Academician Li took off his glasses and wiped them.
The little guy who doesn't care about the degree may do things with a strong purpose, and it may not be as they want......
————
The two shifts are complete......
PS: In reality, there are three universities under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "University of Science and Technology of China", "University of National Academy of Sciences" and "University of Science and Technology", of which "University of National Sciences" only began to accept undergraduates in 12 years, but the parallel world does not reflect reality, and there is no matching ~
Finally, please catch up on Tuesday!
