New York University, Supercomputing Center in the United States.

Professor Sigifredo Reeves from the School of Physics and Professor Oli Kallen from the School of Mathematics were drinking coffee with Professor Sreenivasan while waiting for the experimental results.

Professor Reeves and Professor Cullen are both academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and they also have the identities of dean of the School of Physics and dean of the School of Mathematics respectively.

This time, Professor Sreenivasan deployed a large amount of manpower, material resources, and supercomputing resources to conduct experimental verification of a certain paper. Such a big move immediately alarmed the two elders. After careful inquiry, they became very interested. They heard that today

There will be results, and the two of them will come together.

Generally speaking, reviewers will not verify the experimental results, but will only review the theoretical basis, experimental plan and experimental data of the paper forward and backward to judge whether the idea is correct and whether the logic is self-consistent.

Whether there are obvious loopholes depends on the academic level and academic experience of the reviewers themselves.

The reason for not verifying the experimental plan and experimental conclusions is also very simple. Firstly, the reviewers may not have the experimental conditions and experimental equipment mentioned in the paper. Secondly, it will involve the consumption of resources such as time, manpower and material resources, and the editor of the journal.

The Ministry will not reimburse the experimental expenses, so naturally not many people are willing to pay for additional experimental verification.

However, Professor Sreenivasan has a lot of scientific research funds that he can use freely. This verification work is not to repeat the experiment, but to analyze the observation data that already exists in the real world to see if it is consistent with the conclusion of the paper.

, Professor Sreenivasan regarded it as an interesting experiment.

At this time, the staff in the supercomputing office started the data analysis software, added the functional analysis algorithms and mathematical models of mathematics professors, and imported the huge observation data, and the supercomputing began to operate.

The supercomputing resource Professor Sreenivasan applied for this time is New York University's latest supercomputer "Greene", which has the ability to perform four square calculations per second. Compared with the original supercomputer built by New York University ten years ago,

, with a peak speed exceeding 1 trillion times faster than a supercomputer, which can widely support cross-disciplinary research ranging from biomolecular genetics to the political impact of social media behavior to artificial intelligence.

The observation data obtained from the National Meteorological Administration is close to t. Without the help of supercomputing, using an ordinary cloud computing group composed of servers, it would take at least about a week to complete such analysis and calculation work. And "Green" only

It takes about half an hour.

This is the power of new supercomputers.

It is not surprising that the world's major powers are constantly developing supercomputing and regard supercomputing as one of the indicators of a country's hard power in science and technology.

】

Professor Sreenivasan and the other three elders naturally did not need to operate it themselves, and they did not know how to operate it. They looked at the researchers in the office inside the glass window who were busy, and looked at the countless cabinets and objects flashing in the distance.

Dean Reeves of the institute said: "This physics paper jointly written by the two young Fields Medal winners is really of such value."

It is true that Professor Sreenivasan is an academician of both academies and has the right to apply for supercomputing resources. However, the electricity and operation and maintenance costs of the supercomputer "Green" are staggering. This data verification alone will cost 120,000 yuan.

US dollars. The salary of the remaining doctoral students involved in the verification is negligible, but the two mathematics professors sent to assist must be paid. In addition to the five days of time and energy spent by the research team, the entire verification process is estimated to cost more than 10,000 US dollars.

Spending tens of thousands of dollars just to review a manuscript, even if the subject is a Fields Medal winner's paper, seems a bit extravagant.

Professor Sreenivasan nodded without hesitation: "Yes! If the conclusions of this paper can be verified by real-life data, it will open a new chapter in the study of turbulent kinetic energy! To put it simply, the current mainstream coarse-grained kinetic energy in the world

Resolution climate model simulations have always been inaccurate because the kinetic energy form, dissipation, and mutual driving factors contained in large-scale, mesoscale, and small-scale circulations have not been clearly understood. This paper solves this mystery!"

"Using the conclusions in this paper, we can at least improve the accuracy of coarse-resolution climate model simulations by %! The accuracy of predictions of large-scale marine climate disasters, such as tsunamis, will also be greatly improved. This paper

The conclusion can also be applied to the El Niño phenomenon to deepen our understanding and research of the El Niño phenomenon."

He looked at the surprised Dean Reeves and Dean Cullen, and said solemnly: "Moreover, this is a derivation result based on the n-s equation and using pure mathematical operations. It is of great significance to both the mathematics and physics circles.

It is of great significance and will also bring new ideas to countless mathematicians and physicists who study the application of n-s equations."

"Although this paper is only five pages long, its positive impact on human science and technology is immeasurable!"

"Of course, everything I say must be based on the fact that this paper is correct and the conclusions are fully verified by real-life data!"

Dean Reeves from the School of Physics and Dean Karen from the School of Mathematics looked at each other. They were old friends with Professor Sreenivasan. This was the first time they saw Professor Sreenivasan talking about an article.

The paper has such a high rating.

Dean Cullen flipped through the printed paper manuscript in his hand. To be honest, the mathematical operations on the first two pages were too complicated. He did not dare to say that he fully understood it. However, from the perspective of mathematical logic, he did not understand it.

Find any obvious problems.

Thinking about it, the two Philippine Prize bosses joined forces to attack. If obvious problems can still be found, it must not be a problem with the paper, but a problem with Karen's old age.

Thinking of the great significance of this paper, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you think this verification can be successful?"

As soon as the words came out, he burst into laughter and patted his forehead: "Look, I made a mistake. If I thought the probability of success was low, I wouldn't use so many resources for verification."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor Sreenivasan nodded: "I think the success rate is above 80%. Let's wait and see."

Through the glass window, you can see that the large screen in the operation office is constantly refreshing with dense data, which is dazzling, but the analysis progress bar at the top clearly shows that the verification conclusion is about to be reached.

The three academic elders from the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Mathematics subconsciously stopped talking and stared at the big screen intently.

Not only them, but also more than a dozen researchers, two mathematics professors, and the staff of the supercomputing center who participated in this verification work all held their breath, waiting for the results that would appear soon.

In the almost solid air, the operating power of the "Green" supercomputer obviously began to decrease rapidly, and the analysis progress bar on the large screen also reached the end.

The next second, all the process calculation data on the big screen were refreshed, leaving only one line of English in the center.

"mtch:.%"

suitability.%!

The error is only .%!

This is a very amazing match. Considering that the original monitoring data of the National Meteorological Administration has a certain error from reality, the error rate of less than % is completely negligible!

"The verification was successful." Professor Sreenivasan took a deep breath and looked around at everyone: "The conclusion of the paper is established. Cheers, guys!"

The audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers!

Although it is not their research result, it is also the result of their participation in verification!

The cheers and applause from the audience are dedicated not only to the Supercomputing Center, but also to the partners who participated in this verification work, and to this article titled "Research on Large-Scale Circulation Forms and Kinetic Energy Change Characteristics Using the N-S Equation"

The paper is dedicated to the authors of the paper, the two youngest Fields Medal winners from Xia State!

"It's an amazing ..% matching degree. I'm afraid it will scare a lot of people if I say it. This is a conclusion derived purely from a mathematical point of view." Dean Cullen of the School of Mathematics sighed.

"Yes, the role of mathematics in physics is fully demonstrated in this paper. It seems that in the future, those whose mathematics level is not high enough will be embarrassed to call themselves physicists." Dean Reeves of the Institute of Physics was also full of enthusiasm.

Feeling.

Professor Sreenivasan picked up the pen and wrote a paragraph in the blank space above the title of the paper:

"After careful verification of real-life data, the conclusion of this paper is completely established. This is also a paper of great historical significance. The two young Fields Medal winners have demonstrated their unfathomable mathematical skills.

It also demonstrates their keen intuition about physics. Research on turbulence, especially turbulence in climatology and oceanography, will enter a new starting point from the date of publication of this paper!"

After writing, he then ordered his assistant: "Send this comment and our supercomputer verification results back to rl."

…

Professor Sreenivasan’s review results were quickly sent to the editorial office of Physical Review Letters (rl). Editor-in-chief Pius Poulsen finally had some thoughts after seeing the comments of Professor Tao and Professor Sreenivasan.

Can't sit still anymore.

I have been the editor-in-chief for more than ten years and have seen countless comments from reviewers. However, this is the first time that a paper has received such high praise from experts in mathematics and physics.

After being stunned for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the editor-in-chief's office.

"...The above are the review opinions of the two reviewers. I suggest that this paper be published next Friday and be highlighted as an 'Editor's Recommendation' and a 'Highlight Paper'."

The editor-in-chief pondered for a while and said: "I agree with the emphasis on promotion, but the publication time should be changed to this Friday. It will be printed before get off work today. There is still five hours of typesetting time, so there is still time."

He laughed heartily at the editor-in-chief Pius Poulsen on the other end of the phone:

"I heard that it is the Spring Festival in Xia Kingdom now, so consider this a Spring Festival gift from our rl to two new physics experts. By the way, when replying to their emails, don't forget to include our invitation for manuscripts and ask them to submit their manuscripts next time.

, be sure to give priority to us rl.”

…

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who are far away in Xia Kingdom, don't know that the paper will be published on RL three days later. They have just attended the junior high school class reunion and are having an annual gathering with their classmates from Yingyuan Private High School.

The gathering place is a KTV with a buffet, which is very suitable for the consumption level of college students.

Homeroom teacher Wei Wenping and math teacher Lao Zheng also came, and the atmosphere was lively.

However, except for some very familiar good friends, the rest of the old classmates showed a little more respect and deliberate flattery when they saw Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. It was a kind of subconscious awe for the top elites.

It made Qin Ke and both of them feel a little bit different.

As we grow up, relationships between people will inevitably become more snobbish, and friendships will inevitably deteriorate.

Just as a classmate asked about the recruitment requirements of Qingning Technology, he thought of seeking a position there.

What makes Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun happy is that Ge Zhixing, Li Xiong, Wu Zhu, Wang Lixin, Xiang Qi, Wang Liangchao, Li Lin and other high school friends still maintain their original attitudes, especially the few boys who are engaged in sports.

He and Qin Ke put their arms around each other, laughed and cursed, and even asked when they would drink their wedding wine.

This is a deep friendship between teammates and roommates formed by playing basketball every day for two years in high school. It is also the most pure and iron-clad relationship between buddies. They will not be easily shaken by whether the other party is rich or poor, nor are they willing to let money and interests taint this relationship.

Not even mentioning the fact that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the major shareholders of Qing Ning Technology and are worth more than one billion, which is quietly circulated among classmates.

For example, Li Xiong asked: "Brother Ke, you and your sister-in-law have become famous now. You are just one step away from being successful in life by getting married and having a baby. When will you complete these last two steps?"

Qin Ke laughed and cursed: "Lao Li, do you have any legal knowledge? I am only 1 year old, and I have to be at least one year old if I want to get married."

Ge Zhixing winked mischievously: "Calculate the time in advance, it's not a bad idea to get the certificate and have the baby in one go."

"Gungungun, you don't have decent ideas. Qingyun and I haven't graduated yet. We should at least consider our children after graduation."

Xiang Qi asked curiously: "Speaking of Brother Ke, your current status is very interesting. You are a professor of mathematics and you are studying for a PhD in the Department of Physics. How do your classmates call you Professor Qin, Brother Ke?"
