"It's so unbelievable that he actually succeeded!"
"My God, temporarily proving such a difficult problem makes me wonder if he already had the answer before!"
"I, Cao, actually let this kid succeed. What a great move!"
In the audience, with warm applause, people present also expressed their opinions.
No matter what, challenging a world-class problem on the spot and proving it really makes them mathematicians and physicists who are at least ten, even twenty, thirty or more years older than Lin Xiao in age. They were amazed by it.
Although what Lin Xiao finally proved was only half of this world-class problem, not all of it, even if it was half, its ultimate difficulty was no less than those of the projects they were working on.
This kind of courage and courage made them sincerely admire Lin Xiao in their hearts.
In the row where the professors from Beijing University were sitting, they looked at the young man who was bowing solemnly on the stage. Their hands made no other movements except for subconscious applause until a long while later.
Dean Zhao Qi was the first to laugh heartily, and at the same time gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up, regardless of whether he saw it or not, and then praised: "Well done!"
Thinking about it, they were worried that Lin Xiao would prove it before, and then let those foreigners take advantage of it. As for whether they could go back and follow the ideas given by Lin Xiao and complete the proof first, although it is not impossible, but After all, there are many foreigners in this group, and there are many big bosses among them, so they can't guarantee this.
But now, it seems that they were worried too early. Lin Xiao's ability deserves all of their trust.
Now, they have both face and dignity.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qi was even more happy, but at this time, he also saw Wang Changsheng over there laughing. Suddenly, half of the happiness in Zhao Qi's heart seemed to be cut away abruptly.
It hurts, it hurts too much.
As for the row in the courtyard where Wang Changsheng was, it was a joy.
Hey, who would have thought that just after letting Lin Xiao join their academy, Lin Xiao would make such a big news?
I originally thought that the most Lin Xiao could do in this report was to explain the combination of gravitons and relativity, and to unify quantum mechanics and relativity first. As a result, Lin Xiao came back with a double critical hit, and by the way, Yang - The existence of the Mills gauge field and the mass gap problem were proved, and even the mass gap problem was proved on the spot.
What was originally a world-class problem seems to have turned into an ordinary physics problem in an ordinary classroom.
This wave is not a loss at all, even if you have a feud with that old guy Zhao Qi later, it won't be a loss.
So the more they thought about it, the happier they became. They could already imagine that when the news came out about Lin Xiao becoming a professor at their School of Physics, their enrollment this year would definitely explode. It just so happened that it was already mid-June, and the college entrance examination results would be released in late June. , when the time comes, they will definitely be able to compete with the School of Mathematics in terms of enrollment.
The more Wang Changsheng thought about it, the happier he became. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Qi was sitting behind him, so he turned around and took a look happily, only to see Zhao Qi staring at him, as if he wanted to eat him. Wang Changsheng was so shocked by this His eyes were startled, but then he turned around with great satisfaction.
Well, seeing Zhao Qi feel uncomfortable makes me even happier than him completing another project. Who made that old guy so arrogant in the first place?
"It's all retribution." Wang Changsheng smiled and shook his head.
On the other side, Maldacena and Witten also had their own expressions on their faces at this time.
Witten clapped his hands and looked at Lin Xiao with admiration and gratitude in his eyes. He admired Lin Xiao for being able to complete the proof under everyone's gaze and thanked Lin Xiao for giving him this surprise.
Obviously, he has found what he wants most from the surprise that Lin Xiao gave him.
Before, he felt that he wanted to completely solve his current problem, maybe in a few months, but in the long term, it might take several years. Now, maybe it's a few weeks, maybe, on his way back.
It can be done on the plane.
Maldacena next to her was holding her head and looking at Lin Xiao's conclusion on the last blackboard with a look of disbelief.
"Greater than 0...it's really greater than 0."
Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Witten next to him, and said very excitedly: "Witten, are you sure Lin hasn't completed the proof yesterday? Why do I feel that he has successfully proved it long ago?"
Witten rolled his eyes, "Why am I lying to you? Or do you think it is necessary for Lin to do such a thing?"
"This...is true." Maldace was stunned, and finally nodded, but then he still cast an unbelievable look at Lin Xiao.
"But no matter what, this is still incredible." He touched his chin and finally said: "He must have had a complete idea, at least he has reached the last step, at least when I saw his proof just now
, he only paused on the last step, and he basically never paused on the previous steps."
Witten said: "Okay, Maldacena, think about it now, if you are standing on the stage now, then you are only the last step away from unifying the strong interaction force and the electroweak interaction force.
Now, will you announce on the spot that you are going to take on such a challenge?"
"Uh..." Maldacena hesitated.
Looking at his look, Witten smiled and continued: "Well, even if we add another condition, you already have a certain idea and direction for this last step. Under these conditions, will you do this?"
"I..." Maldacena showed a helpless expression and said: "Okay Witten, stop talking, stop talking, I admit that I can't do it, I just feel that Lin can do this no matter what.
It’s really incredible.”
"After all, this is proof on the spot. I have never seen such a report in my life."
"Then you saw it today." At this time, several more voices came from the side. They looked up and saw that it was Deligne and the other mathematicians.
"Hey, if you can attend a few more of Lin's mathematics reports, you will become familiar with them." Deligne said with a smile.
Hearing Deligne's words, Maldacena showed a curious expression: "Oh? Why?"
As a physicist, of course he would not participate in those mathematics reports, even those reports by Lin Xiao that caused earthquakes in the mathematics world.
Deligne smiled and said: "Lin has a title in our mathematical community, called the "Lecture Assassin"."
"Assassin of the Reporting Conference? What is that?" Witten also became curious now. They had never heard of this title.
Pompieri smiled and said: "Lin often surprises us in his reports, such as his first report - hey, I still can't forget that his first report seemed to be at the International
At a conference of mathematicians, he told us how he solved the distribution law of Mersenne's prime numbers, and then after he finished speaking, he proposed the Lin's conjecture, well, it has now become Lin's theorem."
"You said, isn't this a surprise?"
And Deligne continued: "There was also the time when Lin's program was proposed some time ago, and the three reports that proved Hodge's conjecture - in short, our Professor Lin is like an assassin.
Just when you think his report is about to end, he will suddenly do something incredible for you."
Witten and Maldace were stunned for a moment. Although they were not in the mathematics circle, they had heard about these things. At this time, listening to Deligne's story, they thought,
This is really the case. Lin Xiao always seems to do some very amazing things in his report meetings.
Just like today's report meeting.
They turned their attention to Lin Xiao again, and finally clapped their hands again. With the applause that had not yet stopped, they gave this "Assassin of the Reporting Conference" their greater admiration.
At the same time, Lin Xiao on the stage looked at the people present with a smile on his face, but he was already very troubled mentally.
In order to solve the last problem just now, his brain was completely overloaded, not to mention fully loaded.
But now that all the problems have been solved, his spirit has returned to relaxation and his concentration is no longer concentrated.
However, there is still one last question-and-answer session left, so I have to persevere.
So he forcibly cheered up and said, "Then it's question time. Everyone can ask questions now."
With his announcement, everyone in the audience also raised their hands. Whether it was about the previous unified quantum mechanics and relativity theory, or the current problem of proving the existence of the Yang-Mills gauge field and the mass gap, everyone had questions.
Many questions to ask.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a headache. If he had known better, he would not have tortured himself like this.
Now, look at the people who raised their hands, there are probably a hundred of them, and even if we ignore the repetitive questions, there are probably no less than twenty.
He shook his head, but he still started to name names and answer questions.
Fortunately, the questions asked were not that tricky and were basically very simple. Lin Xiao, who was 120% familiar with his own proofs, could basically handle these questions easily.
So just like that, all problems ended quickly.
"So, that's it for today's report meeting, thank you all."
After saying that, Lin Xiao pinched his eyebrows and quickly left here.
When they saw him leaving, many people present who wanted to communicate more with him were stunned.
For example, Maldacena wanted to chat more with Lin Xiao, so he immediately wanted to chase Lin Xiao, but at this moment, Witten held him back.
"Let Lin rest. He probably didn't sleep last night."
"Didn't you sleep?"
"Yes, after all I told you, it wasn't long before he started researching and proving the quality gap problem, so he probably hasn't had a break from yesterday morning to now." Witten said: "This is why he was able to succeed.
ah."
"So that's it. I thought he looked a little tired when he gave the report just now." Maldace nodded, and then couldn't help but envy: "It's good to be young."
If it were their bodies, it would obviously be impossible for them to complete such a report meeting after staying up all night, and even prove a world-class problem on the spot.
