Chapter 64 Mathematics and Physics

"You don't have to worry about that. Beltrami pulled his chair closer slightly, leaning his upper body slightly, "We've consulted with Master Rod Orri, and he has no opinion. ”

Beltrami looked at Jiayi expectantly, only to hear Jiayi say, "Then I don't have any opinion." ”

"Thank you, Master Jiayi. Beltrami exhaled a long breath and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

Jia Yi was a little puzzled by his appearance: "Editor-in-chief Beltrami, Master Rod Orry's paper was recommended by you to the editor-in-chief of Gibos, although it was not used in time, but it shouldn't have had such a big impact on you, right?"

Originally, Rod Oli wanted to get more support by publishing his paper in "Elements" that had not been approved by the council, but after having Jiayi's paper, he was not so urgent, and in the end, his paper passed the hearing first, but he did not re-submit the paper to "Mathematics and Physics", and still published it in "Elements" to express his dissatisfaction.

"But I'm the editor-in-chief of Mathematics and Science, so I have to be responsible for that. Beltramilo said helplessly.

Gibbos looked at him playfully from the side, but did not debunk it, although this time it was "Mathematics and Physics" that lost a big ugly, but it did not reach the point of breaking the muscles and bones, "Mathematics and Physics" is still the most influential publication in the field of mathematics and physics. Through this incident, Beltrami has greatly increased his voice within the magazine. If there is a next time, he can even force the publication of the paper despite the opposition of other reviewers.

Gibbos was able to get New Geometry published in Elements because New Geometry was not a paper in the field of elements, and in order to be published, he also looked for authorities to endorse it, and finally found Jiayi.

A few people chatted a few words about the development of mathematics and physics, and Beltrami sighed: "The new geometry is too breakthrough to people's common sense, even if there is a model you give, there are still many mages who can't understand it, if you have time, can you and Master Rod Orry write a few more papers, or do a few new geometry reports, and explain the new geometry in detail?"

Gibbs also chimed in: "Since calculus, the development of mathematics has become more and more difficult to understand, and geometry was originally more intuitive, but now as soon as the new geometry comes out, even geometry is not so easy to understand. If you can hold a few lectures, it will definitely be able to greatly promote the spread of the new geometry. ”

"I don't have to. Jia Yi rejected Gibbos's invitation, "It's more appropriate for Rod Ori to do this, my institute has a lot of things, and I don't have much energy to do this." And I'm not in the math direction either. ”

The last sentence hit Gibbos and them very hard, they have already achieved such great results, and they also said that they do not focus on the direction of mathematics and physics. But what is congested is that if you think about it carefully, he really didn't have any achievements in the direction of mathematics and physics before, and it really didn't take much thought.

Beltrami had no choice but to say, "That's a pity, I've heard your presentation, it's very wonderful, and I think many mages in Moshacher will miss your presentation." ”

Maybe now, but after hearing about Quantum, they won't miss it anymore.

"The development of mathematics and physics will definitely become more and more difficult, gradually detached from the world that we can directly observe, and develop into the void, and as we explore and understand magic and the world, the microcosm will become more and more unable to be constructed with the original knowledge and out of our imagination," said Kaichi. Today, mathematics is still based on the discovery of magic, just as the mage Isaac invented calculus. However, with the development of mathematics and physics, more discoveries in the microcosm, the development of mathematics and physics will definitely surpass our understanding of the world, and in turn, we may use mathematical tools to re-analyze the world. ”

"Using mathematics to analyze the world?" Beltrami thought in his mind, but he couldn't believe it, although mathematics and physics were very important, they were only a tool in the understanding of the wizarding world, and although they had a high status, they had a vague feeling of being in a secondary position.

Even though Mathematics and Science is one of the four major journals, its influence is undoubtedly the smallest. There is a debate about who is ranked first among the other three publications, and Mathematics and Science is undoubtedly ranked fourth.

"Yes, you know, the microscopic world is becoming more and more difficult to observe, like the nucleus of an atom, and we have nothing to do with it, but to analyze the particles it emits by various means, and then guess the internal structure through calculations. Limited by the means of observation, we may only be able to judge the nature and state of existence of these microscopic particles through pure mathematics. Perhaps, the journal should encourage the study of pure mathematics, rather than just using mathematics as a tool to build only when needed. ”

"Pure mathematical research. Beltrami thought in his heart that this might be a direction that could expand the influence of mathematics and physics, "This is indeed a thing worth trying, and maybe our magazine should do more work in these aspects." ”

If the restrictions can be relaxed, it may be more conducive to the development of mathematics, and at the same time, it will be able to reduce the adverse effects of the new geometry.

Gibbs pondered, and suddenly asked, "Is it like your formula for blackbody radiation, which uses mathematics to solve problems without exploring the practical implications?"

Jiayi's blackbody radiation has not been published for a long time and has a limited scope of influence, but Gibos has been paying attention to Jiayi and knows his blackbody radiation formula very well. This is a paper that is regarded as a patchwork of pure mathematics, and Jia Yi did not explain too much, just let everyone get familiar with it first. Most mages are not happy with this, believing that simple formulas that have no practical meaning are of little value. But Kaichi is an authority in the field of heat and energy, and although everyone is not satisfied with the papers published by him, they cannot be ignored.

He didn't explain much about the formula in this paper, and most mages couldn't understand the meaning for a while, although they didn't like it, they had to pinch their noses and use this formula in related research, because it was really easy to use.

Even a mage can't escape the law of true incense.

Jia nodded: "Yes, that's a good direction. Many times, the eyes will deceive you, because the frequency of the light we can receive is limited, the ears will deceive you, the frequency of the sound we receive is also limited, and even our mental power is unreliable and will be blinded, but mathematics will not, as long as it is proved to be correct, the conclusion is correct, and it is not affected by any external force. Only mathematics is real. Moreover, mathematics is not limited by the means of observation, and even if we cannot see anything, it does not prevent us from understanding the world that we cannot see through mathematics. ”

Beltrami looked at Jia Yi in shock, and a surging feeling was about to come out, although he was the editor-in-chief of "Mathematics and Physics", he never thought that someone would have such a high opinion of mathematics and science, and raise mathematics and physics to such a height.

Nowadays, mathematics and physics are highly valued, but they are not the most important, and Jiayi's words undoubtedly redefine the status of mathematics and physics.

Beltrami was greatly encouraged and said: "Jiayi, what you said is very good, after going back, our "Mathematics and Physics" magazine will definitely strengthen its support for the content of pure mathematical theory. Mathematics should not exist as a mere tool. ”

Seeing Beltrami's excited look, Gibbers shook his head secretly, the sales of "Mathematics and Science" magazine were not high, and if the content of pure mathematical theory was deepened, it was almost foreseeable that the sales would definitely be even more bleak. I couldn't understand it in the first place, but now I can't understand it even more.

But this is unavoidable after all, and as the development of any discipline becomes deeper and deeper, the threshold will become higher and higher.

When Einstein was in school, he didn't pay enough attention to mathematics, and devoted all his energy to physics and love, and when it came time to study general relativity, he had to pay the price and go back to make up for mathematics.
