Chapter 169 Discussing the threshold of mathematics with Wang Hao: solving complex squares
Cheng
In the fields of mathematical theory and mathematical applications, Buckmaster's research influence is fermenting.
Mathematics is the basis of all sciences.
The application of NS equation is so extensive that it has touched all aspects of applied science.
Many mathematicians find it difficult to accept the conclusion that the solution set of ns equations may not be smooth.
Even if it may not be smooth, it is unacceptable.
It was like a piece of art with huge cracks.
The non-smoothness of the NS equation is a major challenge to the pursuit of mathematical beauty.
Some people engaged in applied research have been more affected. After learning about Buckmaster's research, they have begun to worry.
The NS equation becomes unreliable and the impact is very large.
For example, the aerodynamic simulation system of the space agency is based on approximate calculation of NS equation.
If the NS equation becomes unreliable, will the simulation of the aerodynamic simulation system truly reflect the operation of rockets and satellites?
It is similar in other fields.
Some people are even worried that the newly manufactured aircraft will suddenly fall from the sky?
Some people worry about the future, while others think about the past.
Some people will think of some accidents in the past, such as some aircraft suddenly crashing for unknown reasons.
The cause of many accidents cannot be found, so is it because of the unreliability of the NS equation that the accidents occur?
When your imagination spreads, it becomes a bit scary.
Of course, most of the concerns are still at the level of thinking, but there are always some people who will stand up and express support for Buckmaster's research.
They cited some real-life examples and explained that these situations are all due to the unreliability of the NS equation.
When several scientists and engineers came forward to support Buckmaster's research with application-level examples, it seemed that the unreliability of the NS equation had become a reality.
Many media outlets followed suit, and some reports even appeared in China. Many scholars came forward and talked about this research.
Although the temporary impact is not big and is just some discussion in academic circles, the directly related institutions have indeed begun to worry.
Some people even said that we need to 'find a calculation method to replace the ns equation'.
at the same time.
Wang Hao is conducting research patiently.
This research is very difficult, and the proof process is also complicated. He has found the direction, but it still takes time to derive the details step by step.
He always stayed in the director's office, and a "Do Not Disturb" sign was always hung on the door.
This study lasted for a week.
Everyone in the Mason Number Laboratory knew that Wang Hao was conducting research. When they passed the director's office, they walked lightly for fear of making any noise that would affect Wang Hao.
In fact, it doesn't have to be this way at all.
The sound insulation effect of the director's office is very good, even the door. The sound of walking and ordinary talking cannot be transmitted at all.
this day.
Wang Hao pushed open the office door, stretched his body, and glanced at the office next to him in the corridor.
Zhang Zhiqiang and Lu Hulin are inside.
Lu Hulin is also a doctoral supervisor in the School of Information and was rated as a Level 4 full professor last year.
Zhang Zhiqiang was saying, "Professor Lu, don't worry, the Mason Number Laboratory was founded by Dean Chen and Dean Luan, and they will give the laboratory absolute support!"
"Of course the staff are supportive. Didn't I work in the computer laboratory before? Our laboratory now has projects worth tens of millions of dollars. I believe Dean Chen will not let people help."
"Just think that you are here to help, look at Professor Qi, and come right over."
"We are short of researchers here, and there are several vacant positions."
Wang Hao walked in.
Zhang Zhiqiang asked immediately when he saw Wang Hao, "How is your research going?"
Wang Hao smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations!" Zhang Zhiqiang and Wang Hao shook hands to express congratulations, and continued, "It must be another big research, right, related to the NS equation?"
"It's the study of NS equations, thank you!"
Wang Hao was also a little excited. After all, it was a major research project. After more than a week of hard work, it was finally almost completed.
He ignored his own research, greeted Lu Hulin, and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Zhang Zhiqiang explained, "Professor Lu came over and asked if he could come to our laboratory."
Wang Hao glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang with doubts, but still looked at Lu Hulin, nodded and said, "Of course, Professor Lu, we welcome you if you can come!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
There is a saying that ‘rabbits don’t eat the grass beside their nests’.
Zhang Zhiqiang's strategy of poaching people seems to be completely opposite. Professor Qi Xiao and Professor Lu Hulin are trying to hollow out the laboratory of old man Chen Qinghua?
When Lu Hulin heard Wang Hao's welcome, he also smiled, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet because Qi Xiao is here. I just asked about it. I'm mainly worried about Dean Chen..."
He was indeed a little worried.
Chen Qinghua is not easy to talk to. Old Chen's face turned dark when Qi Xiao came over. Wouldn't he turn the world upside down if he came over again?
Without two researchers and two doctoral supervisors, the computer laboratory is almost empty.
Even Wang Hao felt that asking Lu Hulin to come over was excessive.
Zhang Zhiqiang didn't seem to realize this. He was still talking, "Don't worry about Dean Chen. When I came here, he took the initiative to ask me to come over and asked me to help Wang Hao set up the laboratory.
Stay in the laboratory as a researcher."
"Dean Chen will definitely support you coming here. Think about it, they are all laboratories of the School of Computer Science. If they develop well, won't they be good for the school?"
This makes sense.
Lu Hulin nodded as he listened. He really wanted to come because the Mason Mathematics Laboratory has a lot of funding, and funding is the biggest attraction.
He said a few words to Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang, then left and went upstairs.
Wang Hao sat down and said a little worriedly, "Isn't it bad if we recruit PhD supervisors from the computer laboratory?"
"It's okay, don't worry. Dean Chen, I understand!" Zhang Zhiqiang patted his chest and said nonchalantly, "He absolutely supports our laboratory."
"……All right."
Wang Hao hesitated and said, "If Dean Chen comes and asks, will you be responsible for explaining it to him?"
"no problem!"
Zhang Zhiqiang was full of assurances, and then asked about Wang Hao's research problems. He knew that Wang Hao was studying NS equations, but the specific content was not clear.
Wang Hao gave a few simple explanations, which also surprised Zhang Zhiqiang, "I remember a very popular research article, did it say that the equation is not smooth?"
"You proved smooth?"
"yes."
"Isn't that a conflict?"
"yes."
Zhang Zhiqiang digested this information carefully and analyzed the logical relationship in his mind.
Is there a study that is wrong after all?
Before he could analyze the results, he heard a shout from the corridor, "Zhang! Zhi! Qiang!"
"You traitor!"
A shout shook the entire floor.
"Uh~~"
Wang Hao quickly ran back to the director's office and hung a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door.
Then, continue to organize the paper.
He doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window and only concentrates on his own research. The explosion outside has nothing to do with him.
…
The farce outside lasted for a long time before it ended.
In the end, Wang Hao came out to help and said a few words, saying that the laboratory was only temporarily short of manpower and that it would be over when the project was over.
The project duration is only one year.
The two doctoral supervisors in the computer laboratory only come to the laboratory to help, and they do not stay forever.
Only then did Chen Qinghua calm down.
Zhang Zhiqiang's feelings were not so good. He was chased and beaten twice by Chen Qinghua. The old man hit him really hard. He probably made Zhang Zhiqiang hate him.
Come to think of it...
Chen Qinghua arranged for Zhang Zhiqiang to work in the Mason Number Laboratory in order to help improve the laboratory.
As a result, after Zhang Zhiqiang came over, he poached two heavyweight researchers from the computer laboratory soon after, both of whom were also doctoral supervisors.
Anyone would be very angry if this happened.
Of course.
Wang Hao felt that Zhang Zhiqiang was a great hero and silently gave Zhang Zhiqiang a hundred likes.
With the addition of two heavyweight doctoral supervisors from the computer lab, who have five or six students under them, half of the lab staff has been filled, and the project can officially start.
This is indeed the fastest way to recruit people.
In the afternoon, Wang Hao continued to sort out the paper. After sorting it out, he thought about it and submitted it to "New Advances in Mathematics". After all, it is an academic journal that we often cooperate with, so the review speed will be much faster.
After uploading the paper to the website, Wang Hao stretched himself for a long time.
The door rang.
"Enter!"
Wang Hao shouted and saw Zhou Qingyuan walking in. He quickly greeted him.
Zhou Qingyuan sat on the sofa and started talking, "It's the same research as last time. I just attended a mathematics seminar and someone mentioned this."
"Deng Shuyuan from Beijiang University of Science and Technology, what the hell!"
Zhou Qingyuan gritted his teeth and cursed, "He actually believed that the research was correct, and said that Buckmaster was very authoritative and could not publish a wrong paper."
"It is even said that the NS equation problem will be refuted."
"Who is he? What achievements can he make? How dare he say such things."
Zhou Qingyuan was also a little worried as he spoke. He would never accept the conclusion that the NS equation was not smooth.
It's just 'possible' and I don't accept it.
Many mathematicians hold the same view as him, especially those who focus on the study of partial differential equations, and they cannot accept it.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, don't be angry. My research has yielded results. Don't worry, at least under normal values, the solution set of NS equations is smooth."
"real?"
"Of course." Wang Hao smiled confidently.
"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Qingyuan was immediately overjoyed. He had more confidence in Wang Hao than Buckmaster.
He smiled happily and said, "I won't read your paper either. I'm just waiting for the results. Or is it "New Advances in Mathematics"?"
"right!"
"When I see that Deng Shuyuan next time, I'll see if he has anything else to say."
…
American.
Editorial Department of "New Advances in Mathematics".
Bruce Pulitzer arrived very early, even an hour before work.
It was rare that he was so diligent. He mainly wanted to come over and take a look at the controversy over Buckmaster's research in the mathematical community.
Some people support it, some people oppose it.
Most mathematicians do not agree with his conclusion, but no one can point out the problem with the paper. They just cannot accept the conclusion.
Of course Bruce Pulitzer doesn't care whether the paper is correct, because it is not published in "New Advances in Mathematics". He is just the editor-in-chief of a top mathematics journal and is very interested in news from the mathematics world.
After browsing related news and looking at specialized forums, he routinely opened the website's mailbox and saw a submitted paper.
The title is: "Smoothness of Solutions to NS Equations under Fixed Range Values".
"What?"
Pulitzer still thought he had read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at it again, but the title had not changed.
Then he looked at the author of the paper.
"Wang Hao?"
"Is it Wang Hao's research?" Pulitzer suddenly became excited.
The proof that the solution set of the NS equation is smooth is definitely the top achievement. Even if it is just a 'fixed range value', it is still very amazing.
If this paper is correct, it will even be enough to get half a Fields.
In addition, the timing of submission is also very interesting.
Now the mathematics community is concerned about Buckmaster's research, and it has even spread to the field of applied mathematics.
In the past week, academic circles have been discussing this issue endlessly.
Now Wang Hao has submitted a paper with a conclusion that is completely opposite to Buckmaster's research?
If this is published, it will definitely become popular!
Of course, the premise is that there are no problems in the proof process.
But, is it possible?
Pulitzer began to worry again, because many top mathematicians could not find the problem in Buckmaster's research, at least no one had pointed out the problem yet.
Maybe it’s because the time is still too short, maybe there’s nothing wrong with the research itself.
Pulitzer hoped it was the former, because he hoped Wang Hao's paper was correct.
"Fundamental Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" published a paper, which has had an impact even all over the world, and the international mathematics community has been discussing it endlessly.
"New Advances in Mathematics" published another paper with the opposite conclusion, and at the same time proved that Buckmaster's research was wrong. Doesn't this just reflect the authority of "New Advances in Mathematics"?
have a look!
This is authority!
"Basic Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" is completely unacceptable. It published a wrong paper and almost fooled the international mathematics community.
With anticipation, Pulitzer downloaded the paper and read it carefully.
…
Buckmaster's research has indeed had a great impact on the mathematical community.
Many media have made research reports, and some media people have even published relevant content to popularize the impact of the failure of the ‘NS equation’.
After Wang Hao completed his research, he took some time to pay attention. If nothing unexpected happens, his paper will be published next month, and it will take about half a month to wait.
There are many related discussions on the Internet.
This kind of mathematical research will not be really popular, and it will be difficult to become the focus of the news. It is even more impossible if it is research by foreign scholars.
However, Wang Hao still saw a lot of reports and discussions, and some people came forward to support Buckmaster's research.
In addition, some application-related organizations have come forward to express concerns about the "invalidity of the NS equation".
Wang Hao remembered that his Weibo had not been updated, so he logged in and casually sent a message--
"Don't worry.
The world of physics will not collapse because of a meaningless mathematical paper.
The solution set of NS equations in general applications still has smoothness."
If ordinary people see this Weibo, they will have no idea what it is about. They don’t know what it is specifically about, and as a result, few people will reply at all.
Some of the replies were always, “What is Professor Wang Hao talking about?”
"I know all the words, why don't I understand the meaning?"
"It seems to be related to the NS equation. I checked it and there is news..."
"Who would pay attention to that kind of news!"
There were also very interesting comments. They came from a scientific media person with an account called "Dr. Tang of Frontier Technology". He posted several comments in succession, "Professor Wang Hao, are you denying Buckmaster's research?"
"Buckmaster's argument should be perfect. Several famous foreign mathematicians have recognized his results."
Later, he even said in an educational tone, "It has been proven that the NS equation is not smooth, at least 'to a certain extent'."
“When discussing mathematics, we still need to use mathematics to speak!”
…
Wang Hao didn't pay attention to the comments on Weibo. After he posted on Weibo, students came looking for him.
It's Chen Mengmeng.
Chen Mengmeng came over with a question, which was a complex problem of solving partial differential equations.
This problem is considered a relatively complex one among the partial differential equations that can be solved.
Chen Mengmeng was a little confused for a while.
For Wang Hao, all partial differential equations that can be solved are just small problems, almost the same as doing ordinary mathematics problems.
He only glanced at it and knew how to solve it, and directly pointed out the key points.
After Chen Mengmeng heard this, he thought about it and understood.
Wang Hao also read the comments leisurely and noticed the comment of 'Dr. Tang from Frontier Technology'. He found it very interesting and replied, "Do you want to discuss math problems with me?"
Originally it was just a reply to a message, but unexpectedly the other party quickly replied with a long message, "Yes, I think there is no problem with Buckmaster's proof. This is what the mathematical community is concerned about, the NS equation..."
Wang Hao didn't have the patience to read it, so he simply took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the question Chen Mengmeng asked, uploaded the picture and sent a message back, "Please solve this equation."
He just doesn't want to discuss the relevant issues.
It is completely meaningless to discuss NS equations with an "unknown netizen".
He just didn't expect that the news would go viral.
Someone from the media specially took a screenshot and sent a message, "Discuss the threshold of mathematics with Professor Wang Hao. Please solve this equation first."
"As shown in the picture..."
A large number of onlookers were immediately attracted.
