Chapter 260: Goldbach's Conjecture
Can any even number greater than 2 be written as the sum of two prime numbers?
This is Goldbach's conjecture.
Ask us questions like this, are you the devil?......
One by one, the experts and scholars looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.
You are a mythical and legendary demon, and the question you ask is not 'what kind of animal is it, walking on four legs in the morning, walking on two legs at noon and walking on three legs at night?', but Goldbach's conjecture, a mathematical problem, you have refreshed my three views.
Have you been studying mathematics for thousands of years, which have disappeared from the sight of mankind since the Middle Ages? Tell me, tell me, which school you studied mathematics in, and which teacher taught you the Goldbach conjecture, and when I went back, I smashed that school, and the teacher made him change to physical education.
Those experts and scholars who have just realized that they have more knowledge are tightly closed their upper and lower lips, counting 123 in their hearts, I am a wooden man.
Although we are relatively knowledgeable, it is a little embarrassing for you to let me solve the Goldbach conjecture, don't look at the words of experts and scholars on our names, but we are folklore experts, theologians, not mathematicians, you ask me to verify which mythological event or which myth and legend in the demon gods, I can tell you the head is the Tao, and from all kinds of local legends to find out the testimony, but you want me to solve the Goldbach conjecture, sorry, experts can't do it.
The quiet presidential palace became even quieter, no one spoke, not even a sound at all, for fear that after making a sound, the lion Sphynx would mistake him for wanting to answer the question.
After a few minutes of playing a game of staring with the people in the presidential palace, the Lion Sphinx got impatient, opened its mouth, and asked:
"Human, which of you will answer my question?"
Seeing that the lion was impatient, the experts and scholars in the presidential palace looked at each other and began to exchange their opinions with their eyes.
"Who will solve Goldbach's conjecture?"
"I won't. ”
"Neither will I. ”
"They're right, I'm just like them. ”
After eye contact, everyone's mouths remained motionless, in fact, they also knew that the exchange of opinions would be the result, Goldbach's conjecture is one of the world's top ten mathematical problems, so many mathematicians around the world can't solve it, how can they, experts and scholars, solve it.
The reason for the exchange of opinions is also to see if there is a case that someone in the presidential palace is a mathematician and happens to have completed the solution to Goldbach's conjecture? Or is there someone in the presidential palace who is really transcendent, who can predict the answer to a problem, or can travel through time to ask a mathematician for the answer to a question in 3020?
But now it seems that I am thinking too much.
"Isn't there anyone who answers such a simple question?" the Sphinx showed a puzzled expression, "Aren't you humans created by the wise man Prometheus, claiming to be the first in the wisdom of all races??The other gnomes, banshees, dwarves, dragons, and nymphs are not as intelligent as you, why can't you answer so many simple questions?"
Nonsense, such a difficult problem, let alone us, even the mathematicians of the world combined can't solve this problem, everyone present is guilty of slander in their hearts, and at the same time they have made up their minds in their hearts that they will never open their mouths, and they will not open their mouths when they die.
"If no one wants to answer my question, then I'll call it by name. The Sphinx glanced at the last president, Cornelius, pointed at him and said, "It's you, please solve the following conjecture: any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers!"
Cornelius glanced at the person standing to his left and kindly reminded, "Gaius, the Sphinx called you to answer the question." ”
Are you sure it's not calling you? Gaius glanced at Mr. President, and saw that His Excellency was staring at him with a terrifying gaze, as if you said 'no' and let your family go to hell for this Christmas.
Gaius turned his head, looked nervously at the Sphinx, and almost cried, "Ah...... Mr. Lion, are you calling me?"
This pot is too big.
"It's not you, but it's okay if you're willing to answer my question, I don't care who the person who answers my question is. The Sphinx smiled horrifiedly.
"I'm going to think about ....... ”
Think about how to solve Goldbach's conjecture...... Fart.
That's Goldbach's conjecture, and since Goldbach's letter to Euler in 1742 has been able to dispel it, not even Goldbach himself, let alone millions of mathematicians.
Although Mr. Chen Jingrun, who came from the East, solved that 'any large even number can be expressed as the sum of the product of one prime number and two prime numbers', he is still one step away from solving Goldbach's conjecture.
Although it is only one step, it is like a moat.
If you ask a theologian to solve a conjecture that countless mathematicians have not been able to solve for hundreds of years, even if all of you present have faith in me, I have no faith in myself.
Gaius turned his head back and winked at His Excellency the President,
"Mr. President, hurry up and figure it out. ”
"You're asking for a blessing. ”
Konelius looked back directly.
Gaius still has the title of an expert on it, which can be regarded as a wealth of knowledge, but he has returned all the mathematics he learned in high school to the teacher, not to mention solving the Goldbach conjecture, he can't even read the Goldbach conjecture.
After looking back, he complained in his heart about the guy named Goldbach, what kind of conjecture do you say you have nothing to do, do you know that your behavior of leaving conjecture is harmful?
How many students have increased their study load because of your conjecture? How many mathematicians have gone bald because of your conjecture? How many people are dying because of your conjecture? If Goldbach's coffin wasn't here, he would have had to dismantle Goldbach's coffin board.
At the same time, he decided that if he could escape this, he must legislate to prohibit these mathematicians from being idle and leaving their conjectures to harm the world.
"I ......"
was rejected by the president, Gaius scolded angrily in his heart, and he wanted to drag the people present to die together.
"Have you figured it out?" asked the Sphinx impatiently, "If you haven't thought about it yet, I'd suggest you put it in my stomach and think about it." ”
Seeing the Sphinx open his mouth to reveal a mouth that looked like a pitch-black hollow inside, Gaius subconsciously said: "I have already figured out how to solve this conjecture, but solving this conjecture requires the cooperation of others, please allow me to find someone to help." ”
