Chapter 5: A Good Start
So is the idea of genius so strong?
Li Jiangao was determined, he didn't plan to discuss this academic issue with Qiao Ze.
To solve the Yang-Mills equation, it is necessary to use the knowledge of group theory, and when the two bigwigs constructed this special system of equations, they used a rigid body motion set in a multidimensional complex space instead of the group U(1), that is, the compact Lie group. As a result, the Yang-Mills equation has two properties at the same time: classicality and quantum theorism.
But to really solve this problem, it is not enough to have enough knowledge of group theory.
The theory created by the two academic leaders is the "non-abelian" gauge theory. Unlike the abelian group, where the lack of commutability makes the corresponding mathematical theory more esoteric. At least Li Jiangao never thought of challenging this problem.
In other words, if he really discussed this issue with Qiao Ze at this time, he would most likely not be able to discern whether this child's thinking was whimsical or not.
So Li Jiangao decisively diverted the topic.
"Okay, maybe you're good enough to solve the world's problems. We can even assume that you've solved this problem perfectly, so you really think you're going to get a million in money? ”
Sure enough, this sentence immediately made Qiao Ze frown and asked, "Why not?" ”
Li Jiangao raised his hand, gestured a finger, and said, "First question, assuming that you have solved this problem perfectly, how do you plan to let this Clay Institute know?" Or how do you let the world know? ”
José glanced at the paper on the bedside table.
Li Jiangao smiled and said: "Yes, you can only rely on publishing papers, and you can't publish them in those second-rate journals, you must be a top journal to be taken seriously." Because a second-rate journal publishes papers of this grade, those journal editors will only think you are a fool! ”
"But you're just a high school student who hasn't even gone to college, and no one in the academic world knows about you, so why should you let them value your papers?
Do you know that there is no reliable tutor recommendation, or that you are a leader in the industry, and the editors of those top journals will not even glance at the title of your paper, and just glance at your name, education and email address and delete your paper directly into the trash? ”
Qiao Ze looked at Li Jiangao in confusion and was silent.
But Li Jiangao didn't stop there, but continued to speak: "Okay, now we have the luck of the journal editor who suddenly decided to take a look at your paper abstract, and your abstract was perfectly written, which attracted him, so do you know what he will do next?" He'll find professors who are already well-known to review your paper.
Now the problem is, I can tell you that even if you solve this problem perfectly, there are no more than twenty people in this world who can read this paper in the first place! And each of these 20 people can be said to be leaders in their related fields. Can you guarantee that they won't have any crooked intentions?
Is it possible that they read your paper, and then discredit it, revise it, change it, or even resubmit it to the journal under a different name? And then what do you do? Expose those seniors at the top level? Do you think the seven billion people in the world would trust a high school student, or a well-known mathematician who has been working on this problem for more than a decade or even decades? ”
Qiao Ze stubbornly raised his head, and after a while, a word came out of his mouth: "arXiv." ”
Li Jiangao laughed, I have to say that this child's English level is really high, at least this word is very standard.
"Ha, of course you can post on this pre-publication platform, but as I just said, no more than twenty people in this topic world can directly understand this topic!"
"And you have no fame and no status, who will listen to your explanation?"
"When people win the award, they will say that he voted for the journal first, and then your paper will appear on arXiv."
"Maybe you can even make up a paper and send it in, and then the personal computer is hacked and the draft is lost!"
"Do you believe that the editors of well-known journals will rush to stand up and testify for them? Or even take out a record of the time when the submission was accepted on the computer to prove this? ”
"You don't know that it's not uncommon for a paper to be reviewed for a year or two at this level, right?"
"How can you prove your innocence then? Let your mother take you around begging again?! ”
After saying this, Li Jiangao glanced at the time, it was already half past eleven in the morning.
He didn't wait for Qiao Ze to speak, but stood up, took out a notebook from his bag, sat down at the desk provided in the room, and after some operation, beckoned to Qiao Ze.
"Joze, I'm going to go out later, and your task is to peruse this article about Ramanujan's life. I don't know if you've seen it before, but I want you to take it seriously today! For lunch, I will ask the teacher Yu just now to help you bring it to your room. I'll be back by about two o'clock in the afternoon, and we'll continue to talk after you've figured this out. ”
"Child, the world is not as simple as you think, and not everyone will tolerate your willfulness because of your talent. In many cases, talent does not necessarily bring glory and wealth, but calamity. I hope you can understand and understand this. ”
After speaking, Li Jiangao stood up and walked out of the room without hesitation, leaving Qiao Ze alone in the room to think.
In his opinion, a child like Qiao Ze can't blindly preach, as long as he realizes the rules of this world, he can naturally understand.
That's genius!
……
Qiao Ze watched Li Jiangao walk out of the room, and it wasn't until the door closed that he slowly stood up and sat down at the desk with his laptop.
He knew the name Ramanujan, but Qiao Ze really didn't care about the life of this mathematician.
In fact, he has not cared much about things for so many years. In the same way, there are not many people who care about him.
Lu Xiuxiu is counted as one, and today's Professor Li is also counted as one.
So he planned to listen to Li Jiangao's words and read this article carefully.
It only took Qiao Ze half an hour to read the article of about 50,000 words, then closed his eyes and thought for a moment, took the initiative to open the computer browser, and began to search for the Ramanujan formula. Ten minutes later, he was searching his browser again for academic shady, followed by plagiarism......
Then José continued to close his eyes and begin to think.
Until the door was opened directly after two knocks.
The teacher Yu walked in just now: "Qiao Ze, Professor Li has something to do, let me bring you food, I'll put it here for you." ”
After speaking, Yu Chenggong planned to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the young man on the other side pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at him, and said very jerkyly: "Well, that, thank you, thank you, Teacher Yu." ”
Yu Chenggong pursed his lips and responded very formally: "No thanks." ”
