Chapter 323: Fanning the Storm in the Mathematical and Physical World
The arrival of Feverman and others, coupled with the proof of the NS equation and new mathematical tools, allowed Xu Chuan to hold an exchange meeting in the living room of the villa.
Six Fields Medal-level bigwigs, a small-scale but top-notch mathematical exchange meeting, almost all scholars standing at the pinnacle of the human mind, open their minds and speak freely brought about the collision of sparks of wisdom, to the benefit of all.
Not only Xu Chuan, but everyone present has gained a lot.
For people like them, who have almost stood at the pinnacle of human science, there are few opportunities for such progress.
If it weren't for the fact that a few elderly people couldn't hold their energy after a long journey, Xu Chuan would have been ready to have another one after dinner together.
Several top Filipino award bigwigs left to rest, and Xu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
But instead of resting, he turned around and went to the study, where he began to sort out some of the inspirations and theories he had just exchanged in his mind.
After all, such an opportunity, even for him, is difficult to come across again.
Not everyone is willing to communicate freely, people are selfish, which is normal, so it seems that this opportunity is rare.
For him, seizing such an opportunity may allow him to move forward on the road of mathematics.
On the other hand, with the speeches of Tao Zhexuan and several other top bulls, the discussion on the NS equation on the Internet was completely detonated.
Not only in mathematics, but also in the NS equation, the existence of smooth solutions is also related to the development of fluid mechanics in the physical world.
Therefore, the sound of the discussion is like a colorful butterfly in the Amazon rainforest, gently stirring its wings in the mathematical community, forming a giant storm in the physics community that has swept the entire fluid mechanics and even dynamics, kinematics, rheology and other disciplines.
Major scientific research forums and websites are talking about this matter.
[Speaking of the proof of the NS equation, does that have a result?] 】
[That Professor Xu is estimated to be supernatural again, Tao Zhexuan and Feverman, the top bulls, all expressed optimism about Professor Xu's proof paper. 】
[Hiss~, outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous! 】
[Chuan Shen's old man is really fast in scientific research, and before I finished my graduation thesis, he solved a seven-year millennial problem. 】
[18 years to prove the Hodge conjecture, 19 years to prove the NS equation, one a year, guess which one he will shoot next year?] 】
[You really treat him as a god, it's not so outrageous when God comes, okay, a millennial problem a year, tsk. 】
[I want to go to Nanda to take a look at the Sichuan God, I heard that this big guy often takes classes at Nanda, and I want to ask for an autograph! ] I don't know if there's a chance. 】
[Take me one upstairs, I want to go too.] 】
The discussion on the Internet was quite intense, and at the same time, NTU also announced the time of the NS equation report on the official website.
On December 1st, Professor Xu Chuan will give an academic report on "Proofs of the Existence and Smoothness of Three-Dimensional Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equation Solutions" in the auditorium of the old campus of NTU.
The announcement of NTU has made scholars who pay attention to the NS equation enthusiastic again.
A large number of mathematicians and physicists interested in the NS equation have begun to apply on the official website of NTU.
The huge amount of traffic poured in, and even the teachers of the School of Computer Science increased the backup server resources in advance, and the program was almost paralyzed by the direct impact when it stabilized.
However, for these scholars who apply to participate, not everyone can get an invitation letter.
First of all, those world-renowned top scholars, NTU will definitely give priority to their seats, and this part alone can reach thousands of people.
After all, the NS equation is a huge field, not only in the fields of partial differential equations and topology in mathematics, but also in physics and industry, all of which involve all aspects.
After these people are lined up, the rest can be the turn of these scholars who have taken the initiative to apply.
Even so, the auditorium of NTU can be filled with more than 3,000 people and less than 4,000 people, which is destined to be unable to witness this grand event with their own eyes.
On the other hand, the traffic of the NS equation naturally attracted the attention of many media reporters.
In the Washington Times office building in the United States, the editorial team that tracks breakthroughs in science and technology scans through the latest news.
"Unbelievable, the NS equation has been solved?" In his office, tech editor Andrew Whitt exclaimed as he scrolled through the news on the web.
"This is the biggest hot spot lately, and you're only now reacting to it?" A colleague next to him laughed and teased.
Andrew Whitt shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, I have never paid much attention to the news of that country, after all, in that kind of backward place, what scientific research results can come out?" What is the use of a group of sick men in East Asia, no matter how much they develop the economy? Technology has always lagged behind like a monkey. ”
Hearing this, the other editors in the office all laughed.
To be honest, in a country where there is freedom of speech but extreme attention to political correctness, this kind of insulting language is rarely seen in public.
After all, once someone is caught, the consequences are quite serious, and you may leave your job or go directly to the bureau for a few years.
But in the Washington Times, it doesn't matter. Because everyone is their own person and has the same position.
The Washington Times sounds a lot like the official media of the United States, but it is not.
It is just a newspaper founded by a certain financial capital in a certain South Korean country that likes disgusting people, and the purpose of its existence is specifically to disgust people.
This media is the earliest propaganda standard-bearer of the "threat to neighboring countries", and has always promoted the threat of their neighbors to the world, concocted all kinds of fake news, and has never stopped slandering and disgusting their neighbors anyway.
As for now, after more than 20 years of evolution, this newspaper has become a propaganda machine for countries such as the United States, the Cherry Blossom Country, and South Korea, as well as the right-wing forces.
However, it is precisely because of the far-right political stance that its sales are unusually low, less than one-tenth of that of the Washington Post, another media outlet in New York.
In fact, the Washington Times has been in a state of loss since its inception, without bringing any commercial gains, and has to rely on the blood transfusion support of the financiers behind it.
However, for the financier behind it, he doesn't care about this loss, as long as he can disgust neighboring countries, what is it to lose some money.
And for the current most popular NS equation in the field of science, there is no reason why they should not get involved.
Although there is not much to discredit Professor Xu, it would be good for them to export one or two more articles on the threat of neighboring countries.
It's just that Andrew Whitt, who is writing an article, always feels that such a manuscript lacks some meaning.
Raising his head, Andrew Whitt thought for a moment, looked at his colleague next to him and asked, "I remember that last year, the two of us seemed to have interviewed another professor together, and it seemed that it was also because of the NS equation?" Do you have any impressions? ”
Hearing this, the colleague who was questioned thought for a moment and replied: "It seems to have a little memory, I remember that it seems to be a physics professor at Rice University?" It seems that people from that country immigrated here. ”
"What, what do you think?"
Andrew Whitt's eyes rolled, and his eyes twitched with a malicious smile: "If I'm not mistaken, this Professor Jiang seems to think that there is no answer to the NS equation." Maybe we can do something about this? ”
Hearing this, the colleague opposite asked with interest, "What do you want to do?" ”
Andrew Whitt smiled: "Of course, I will interview this dear Professor Jiang again." ”
The colleague on the other side thought about it for a while, and roughly knew Andrew's thoughts, and asked curiously, "Will he agree?" He's also from Huaguo, right? Despite the fact that they have already immigrated. ”
Andrew shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, you don't know the people of that country, for these people who have immigrated, although not all, there are many people who may have proved that their choice is not wrong, but they will only look down on the people of their original country more than us, and even more willing to step on it." ”
After a pause, he added: "And I know that Professor Jiang's economic conditions don't seem to be very good, and not many people in the academic community accept his theory, maybe he can reject me, but he definitely won't reject Mi Jin!" ”
"Perhaps, I can make a big news!"
On the other side, in Houston, Texas, on the campus of Rice University, Jiang Kangcai, who had just finished a physics class, walked on the path in a somewhat irritable mood.
When he accepted an invitation from Rice University to immigrate here a few years ago, there was no doubt that he came with the idea of making a big difference.
But after arriving here, he found that Rice University's imagination of foreign rejection or rejection of China was more serious than he imagined, and he originally thought that the university in the United States could treat every professor equally, but it turned out to be just a fantasy.
If that's all there is to it.
Recently, his theory of survival has encountered major setbacks and doubts about the proof that there is no smooth solution to the three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations.
Although this proof has not been accepted by the mathematical and physical communities for several years, no one has been able to prove that his work is wrong.
The most important thing is that this theoretical work gave him the opportunity to immigrate to the United States.
If the smooth solution of the NS equation exists, there is no doubt that his theoretical work is wrong, and inviting him to be a professor for this theoretical work will probably fire him without hesitation.
Putting aside this theory, if he wants to find a full professor position in a university in the United States with his academic level, I am afraid that he can only go to those pheasant universities.
was having a headache, Jiang Kang suddenly found that there was a white man standing in front of his house.
"Hello, Professor Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Andrew Whitt stepped forward and said, "Introduce yourself, I'm a reporter for The Washington Times, you can call me Andrew." ”
"I have some questions about the NS equation, I want to talk to you about it, do an interview with you, when do you think it's convenient?" Andrew Whitt asked with a hypocritical smile.
If it weren't for the big news he had planned, he wouldn't have bothered to come here looking for a yellow-skinned monkey.
Jiang Kangcai looked Andrew Whitt up and down, frowned, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have time." ”
Although he was quite happy to be interviewed by media reporters, it helped to expand his reputation and promote his NS equation theory.
But the Washington Times's foul-smelling name, which he had not only heard of, but also been by them, twisted his theories in an interview last year that almost made him a joke.
This media is unusually aimed at the Chinese, and I am afraid that I came to him today to see his jokes.
After saying that, he was about to bypass the other party, but was quickly stopped.
"Professor Jiang, I think I can help you! We learned that in 14 years, you proved the NS equation and published 'proof that there is no smooth solution to the 3D unsteady Navier-Stokes equation', maybe you need our help to bring your results to the world! ”
"And, of course, that million meters of gold from the Clay Institute of Mathematics! I believe that with your theory, it is completely possible! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Kang stopped and stared at the other party with a frown.
To be honest, he actually has some dissatisfaction with the world of mathematics and physics.
Because the mathematical and physical circles did not pay attention to his paper "proof that there is no smooth solution to the three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equation".
Although it is true that some journals have included his papers, the journals that have included him are not the top ones, and he has also submitted papers to top journals such as "Annals of Mathematics", "New Advances in Mathematics" and "Nature", but all of them have been rejected.
In his opinion, the mathematics and physics circles should prove that his paper is correct if they did not find the loopholes in his paper, so this is the qi of those journals that regard his Chinese identity.
Seeing this, Andrew Whitt felt hopeful and quickly added: "If you wish, Professor Jiang, we at The Washington Times would be happy to promote your theories and papers for you." ”
"Of course, you need to make sure that your theory is correct, or at least that it doesn't get a loophole in the math community."
Hearing this, Jiang Kangcai was indeed a little moved, but the notorious media of the Washington Times was so notorious that he was a little worried that his remarks would be changed indiscriminately.
After thinking about it, he spoke: "I can guarantee that my theory is fine, but what should you do?" ”
Andrew Whitt said quickly: "It is enough for you to give an interview, say in the interview that there is no problem with your paper, and make a comment on Professor Xu's paper." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Kang quickly said, "I'm sorry, I refuse." And I can't help it, and he can't point out the mistakes in Professor Xu's paper. ”
After saying that, he bypassed the other party and left.
He wasn't mentally retarded, and when Andrew offered to comment on Professor Xu's paper, he probably knew what the other party was trying to do.
Although he thinks that his theory is also fine, it does not mean that he can offend a Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize-level bull.
What's more, he didn't even understand the other party's thesis.
"100,000 meters of gold!"
"200,000 meters of gold! You don't need to point out what's wrong with the paper, just a review! Andrew Whitt shouted after him.
Jiang Kangcai stopped, looked at the other party, and said, "Two million meters of gold!" ”
Anyway, I can't get along at Rice University, so it's better to leave this time.
As for academic disputes or anything, he didn't care, anyway, he couldn't return to China, and it was impossible for that Professor Xu to come to the United States to trouble him.
Andrew Whitt: "Two million is too high!" Up to half a million! And if you add money, I need you to cooperate with us! ”
Jiang Kangcai took a deep breath and said, "Deal!" ”
