Chapter 179 What’s going on? Think to yourself! Are you not allowed to go at the beginning of the month? I
Let's go!
Leibniz's understanding of Wang Hao is obviously far behind that of Bruce Pulitzer.
When Pulitzer heard that Wang Hao had submitted a proof of Goldbach's conjecture, he was silent for a moment. His surprise was a subconscious reaction, but he immediately believed it because he knew that Wang Hao never joked in his research.
Even though he had mixed emotions and was surprised when he heard the news, he never thought that Wang Hao was joking.
Leibniz really thought Wang Hao was joking.
Proof of Goldbach's conjecture?
This is definitely a major mathematical achievement of the century.
If it were a simple submission, it would be barely acceptable, but two methods of proof? Isn’t this a joke? How could someone be so genius?
Leibniz still received the submission.
He made a guarantee, and Wang Hao believed his guarantee.
After receiving the submission, he opened it and found that it was indeed a proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
Leibniz was very surprised.
Wang Hao is a very famous mathematician. His greatest achievements in the field of number theory are the proof of Kakutani's conjecture and the related research on mathematical methods of "formulating infinite series and making them poor".
This research was enough for him to win the Fields Medal.
What does it mean that such a top mathematician submitted a proof of Goldbach's conjecture?
This means that Goldbach’s conjecture is likely to be proven!
Leibniz took a deep breath and read the content carefully, but he couldn't help but think of what Wang Hao said just now, that there was another article submitted to "New Advances in Mathematics"?
He had no way of knowing whether the news was true because the relevant paper submissions were confidential.
"If this is the case, no one else can compete with Wang Hao at least in the field of number theory research for the two proofs of Goldbach's conjecture."
"He will become recognized as the top scholar in analytic number theory!"
Leibniz was shocked when he thought about it.
Goldbach's conjecture is not one of the seven major problems of the millennium, but it is recognized as one of the problems in mathematics.
Among the questions raised by Hilbert, question 8 includes the Riemann conjecture, Goldbach conjecture and the twin prime conjecture.
The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium, and it is considered that under normal circumstances, it can only be a conjecture, and it is naturally the most difficult.
Goldbach's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture have not been solved until now. At the same time, they are also considered to be problems only under the "Millennium Mathematics Problem".
Anyone who can solve one of these difficult problems will be considered one of the top mathematicians in the world.
If two methods are used...
I can’t imagine it!
Although the second method does not make much sense, it is enough to prove that the scholars who solve the difficult problems are amazing super mathematical geniuses.
Leibniz stabilized his thoughts and continued reading. Then he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and realized why Wang Hao asked him if he could 'jump in line' to publish.
Cutting in line is not the problem, the key is lack of time!
First review, second review, plus modification of manuscript format, typesetting, printing and publication...
etc.
For the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, is fifteen days really enough?
If it is true as Wang Hao said, and he submitted the paper to "New Advances in Mathematics", and wait for another three months to publish it, Goldbach's conjecture has been proven, and there is no point in publishing it again.
Fifteen days must be enough!
Enough is not enough!
On the other side, Pulitzer was reviewing the manuscript with complicated emotions. He did not feel the urgency of time because the relevant work was already done easily.
His so-called review is to take a glance at the entire manuscript.
Then, the first trial ends.
Pulitzer knew very well that it was difficult to understand all the content at his own level. Even if he could fully understand it, it would not be completed in a short time. Maybe fifteen days would not be enough.
In addition, even if there are errors in the perfect proofs written by a top mathematician like Wang Hao, he cannot find them out.
So the first trial is meaningless at all.
Normal papers have three reviews. The first review is the initial review by the editorial department. The second review is the most important and involves experts in the relevant field for review.
The third review focuses on formatting and typesetting issues.
Some small papers may ask the original author to modify the format or add some content to make the paper more complete and more suitable for publication.
However, it is not necessary for top authors. The editorial department can help make certain modifications. Even if there are some problems with the format, it does not matter.
Relative to the content of the paper, the format does not matter at all.
Therefore, the review can skip the first and third trials. As long as the manuscript passes the second trial, it can be typed and published.
Pulitzer glanced at the paper again, and then calmly picked up the phone.
"Andrew, yes, I'm Bruce, your old friend."
"Do you have time to help review the manuscript? You will definitely be interested in the proof of Goldbach's conjecture."
"Don't worry, the quality is very high. It's a submission from a top genius. Maybe you can guess who it is, but I won't say."
"..."
"Dear Terry, this is the first time I have called you. Do you remember the last invitation? I always hope that a genius like you can become a reviewer for a journal."
"I'm here to ask for help this time. It's really presumptuous, but I have a very professional paper in hand, related to Goldbach's conjecture. You will be interested in it, right?"
"I can't say 100%, but I think it's more than 80% likely."
"..."
"Professor Bhargava? I'm really glad to contact you. I'm calling..."
…
Wang Hao finally went out after completing his submission.
This is in the early morning.
Looking at Wang Hao walking out of the office, Helen asked in surprise, "You haven't been out for five days. Is the research completed?"
"Well, it's done." Wang Hao responded with a smile.
"congratulations!"
Helen nodded thoughtfully, said congratulations, and carried the book into the workroom. Then she suddenly poked her head out and asked, "Teacher Wang, when can I see your paper?"
"Early next month, the first publication should be "New Progress in Mathematics," Wang Hao said.
"Publish first?"
"The publication time of Acta Mathematica Sinica will be later. Do you want to see the paper first? I have it on my computer." Wang Hao asked.
Helen thought about it and said, "No, I just want to study. I can do it anytime."
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can come to me."
The two said a few words.
Wang Hao went out to exercise. He hadn't been out for a few days and felt stiff all over.
He went to the playground to run a few laps, and then went to have breakfast despite the sweat.
Then I went to the complex office.
There was a class that morning, and he still needed to prepare, because last week's class was taught by someone, and he would definitely have to attend class well this week.
Although he only missed one week of classes, he really missed the feeling of going to class.
It's very quiet in the morning.
There were only two people in the office, Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping, and Sun Jian, Yan Jing and Zhang Zhiqiang were not there.
Wang Hao came in and said hello to Zhu Ping, then went to his seat and sat down. Then he subconsciously picked up the coffee cup and prepared to make a cup of coffee.
Luo Dayong suddenly asked, "How is your research going?"
"Goldbach Conjecture?"
"right."
"It's done." Wang Hao said three words calmly, and then walked over to make coffee. He found that the hot water had not been boiled yet, so he simply waited nearby.
Luo Dayong half-opened his mouth and stared blankly at his movements.
Zhu Ping also looked over, and when she was about to say something, Luo Dayong quickly rushed over and covered her mouth.
"what are you doing!"
Zhu Ping shouted in anger with a hint of shyness.
"Stop talking!" Luo Dayong spoke in a low voice, but very seriously, "Otherwise the whole corridor will know about it. This matter is not said casually."
"Oh~~~"
Seeing the seriousness on Luo Dayong's face, Zhu Ping also realized the problem. She gestured with her mouth and said, "Are you really done?"
"yes."
Wang Hao nodded calmly.
"Then why is this so?"
"What kind?"
"I don't think you're excited at all?" Zhu Ping looked up and down with suspicion.
"Am I excited?"
"Where is it?"
"I was very excited when I finished it. I'm much better now. I can't always be excited, and..." Wang Hao said with some doubts, "Shouldn't you have known it for a long time?"
"What?"
"What about this? I remember telling Zhang Zhiqiang that I didn't ask him to keep it a secret? Based on my understanding of him, Zhang Zhiqiang shouldn't keep it a secret, right?" Wang Hao said very seriously.
"Zhang Zhiqiang?"
"It's him again?"
Zhu Ping and Luo Dayong looked at each other, got together with a tacit understanding, and started discussing in a low voice face to face, "It must be Zhang Zhiqiang, this guy has such a strict mouth! Last time he knew in advance that Wang Hao proved Kakutani
I guessed it, but I didn’t say anything until it was published.”
"He knew about it last week." Luo Dayong analyzed, "When he told us, he must have not completed the research and revealed some false information to us."
"This method is to use other aspects of information to confuse the audience and cover up the real information. Let us discuss two top journal papers and subconsciously feel that the research is not completed."
Zhu Ping nodded thoughtfully and said, "This guy has so many bad ideas, he even fooled me."
"Isn't it normal that you were deceived?"
"..."
Zhu Ping stared at Luo Dayong's face and said angrily, "There is such big news today, I will let you go once, but Zhang Zhiqiang must not let it go!"
"However, Zhu Ping, please remember that you cannot talk to people in other offices."
"I still understand the severity!"
The two of them finished their discussion.
Wang Hao was watching from the side and his mouth was twitching. He couldn't hear what the two people were saying, but he felt that their movements were so intimate that their faces were almost touching.
After checking the time again, he decided to go to the classroom early because there was no class in the previous period anyway.
soon.
Yan Jing has arrived, Sun Jian has arrived.
Several people in the office gathered together, and Zhu Ping whispered to them about Wang Hao's proof and Zhang Zhiqiang's problem, and told them that they must not talk to anyone else.
"This is a secret that belongs exclusively to our office!" Zhu Ping explained very seriously.
Yan Jing and Sun Jian are still trustworthy. They also feel that Zhang Zhiqiang has gone too far. He already knew the news and stopped telling it. He even deliberately led the topic?
Zhang Zhiqiang is here.
When he entered the office, he felt that the atmosphere was strange. No one looked over and no one spoke.
Luo Dayong can understand.
Sun Jian can understand.
Zhu Ping didn't say anything, and she wasn't studying?
Does Yan Jing usually say hello when she sees him?
How is this going?
Zhang Zhiqiang curiously asked Luo Dayong, "Do you feel that the atmosphere in our office is a bit strange today?"
Luo Dayong turned his head and said three words, "Think for yourself!"
"——??"
When he was pouring water, he simply asked Zhu Ping, "What's going on?"
Zhu Ping shouted angrily, "Don't you know what you did?"
"..."
Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned for a long time, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly became very panicked, 'Could it be that yesterday, I peeked at Teacher Deng's fart in the corridor next door...Ahem, someone saw this?'
'Or……'
'Zheng Yaojun and I complained about Zhu Ping, and she found out?'
'Or……'
…
Wang Hao went to a class called "Nonlinear Functional Analysis" and was warmly welcomed by the students.
Last week, Zheng Yaojun helped teach, but Zheng Yaojun once again received negative reviews from most students.
Now it is finally replaced by Wang Hao, and the students all feel energetic in class.
After class, some students came over to ask questions and said, "Teacher Wang, you are finally here. Teacher Zheng is not good at all."
"It's really bad. I felt like I didn't understand a lot of things in his class. I had to read the book again after class."
"Listening to his class makes it twice as difficult, and then twice as difficult!"
Wang Hao helped Zheng Yaojun by saying, "Teacher Zheng is not that bad, and he is a very nice person."
"Big mouth!"
"eccentric!"
"Show off his student, Hu Lidan. Now everyone in the mathematics department knows that his student is Hu Lidan."
"..."
Wang Hao suddenly had nothing to say.
The students' reasons were so difficult for him to refute that it was impossible for him to speak for Zheng Yaojun.
This guy really shows off everywhere, his mouth is very annoying, but if there is an outstanding student, he starts talking about it everywhere.
"Maybe Hu Lidan will be very troubled, right?" Wang Hao thought silently, feeling that he should take more care of Hu Lidan if he had the opportunity.
It is really not easy for this girl to study in graduate school with Zheng Yaojun.
It took Wang Hao more than forty minutes to solve the students' questions. Many students asked about the content of the previous class, and he patiently explained it. When he looked at the time, it was already half past twelve.
He simply went to the faculty canteen and ordered beef noodles and side dishes. As soon as he sat down, he saw He Yi walking over busily, "Wang Hao, you are here."
"What's wrong?"
He Yi sat down panting and said, "I thought you were over there in the classroom. I even went to the Mason Mathematics Laboratory, but I couldn't find you, and I didn't answer your phone calls."
Wang Hao looked at his phone with doubts and found that there were indeed a few missed calls. Because he had been doing research and giving classes to students, his phone was always on silent mode and he didn't pay much attention.
He Yidao, "It's a matter with the Science Foundation. Academician Wu Hui said that an expert team will be organized to inspect the laboratory early next month."
"This time is important."
"Academician Wu means that if the results can be confirmed, they will discuss the next research with us, and they will refer to it and discuss it when they go back."
Wang Hao frowned and asked, "At the beginning of next month? Maybe there is no time. Could you ask Academician Wu if it can be advanced or postponed?"
"Ah? This... can't be changed?"
"Why?"
He Yi said matter-of-factly, "They are the foundation's expert team."
Fund allocation and reviewers are all people required by the laboratory. They have a specific time to review and inspect, and it is almost impossible to change the time.
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Just tell them that I may not have time at the beginning of next month, but you will be fine."
"If they still want to come at that time, let them come."
"this……"
He Yi was still a little hesitant. He thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's what I'll say!"
soon.
The Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, the office responsible for superconducting research, received a call from He Yi, saying that it would be early next month and project leader Wang Hao was not available, and he hoped they could come earlier or later.
He Yi still tried his best to express it in a calm tone.
People in the Superconducting Research Office are still very angry because no laboratory has dared to discuss the inspection time with them.
This is like market supervision inspecting enterprises.
After the company finds out, it can discuss with the market supervision department. If you can't come tomorrow, you can come back the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?
Of course not!
When this kind of thing happens, many people subconsciously think that there is something wrong. Wang Hao is the project leader. Why can't he have time at the beginning of next month?
Moreover, even if there is no time, what is he busy with?
What could be more important than a team of experts going to the laboratory?
Several people from the Superconducting Research Office gathered together and talked about this matter. Deng Binghe said directly, "There must be something wrong with this matter! Otherwise, why wouldn't they let me go?"
"We are just going to inspect, look at the projects, and review them. What else are we going to do?"
Fan Qingxue said, "Maybe Professor Wang Hao is really busy? I've been there once, there should be no problem, and their AC gravity experiment has been verified."
"But there may be problems with the new research. Their report was very good, but it was produced so quickly?" Deng Binghe said, "Our funds have just been allocated, and they have already submitted the report faster than Xiang Qiansheng."
The professor’s team is not slow, and you have all read the data. The strength is above six points. Is it possible?”
"If you are not allowed to go now, there must be something wrong!"
Several people in the office nodded. They thought it was strange. If there was no problem, why should we discuss the time?
Do you need to make any preparations?
Deng Binghe said to him, "Academician Wu, if you want me to take a look at this matter, we will go there at the beginning of next month, either the 1st or 2nd. We can first say we will go in the middle of the month, and then we will have a surprise attack!"
"Let's take a closer look to see what's wrong here!"
His words were sonorous and powerful, and what he said did make sense.
Wu Hui thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, that's it."
"Whether there is a problem or not, we did it and left others speechless."
"Yes, that's it!"
"Hurry up and organize, I'll go."
"I'm going too this time!"
"..."
PS: I recommend the football book "Clear and High" by my friend, "Free Man", which is a high-quality football book and worth reading!
This chapter was really difficult to write, I thought about it for almost a day... I'm sorry for the late update, but don't worry, there will be an update tonight.
