Chapter 233 Alternative hypothesis? Making a judgment? Wang Hao: Thank you
mathematical argument!
The next morning, the Chinese Mathematicians Conference officially opened.
The process of the Chinese Mathematicians Conference is based on the International Congress of Mathematicians. The opening ceremony of the conference is the award ceremony.
The most influential Morning Star Mathematics Award will be awarded first. After the awards, the winners and guests will take photos together, and others can also take photos on stage.
After a series of activities for the Morning Star Mathematics Award, the Chen Xing Applied Mathematics Award, the Chen Shengshen Award, the International Cooperation Award, the New World Mathematics Award and the Taikang Middle School Mathematics Award will continue to be announced.
The subsequent awards have less influence, and only the awarding process is involved.
After all the awards were given, Qiu Chengwen came on stage and gave a work report. By the way, everyone is welcome to attend the conference, etc., and the opening ceremony was over.
Afterwards, there will be some time in the morning for invited guests to give work reports or academic reports.
In the afternoon, the Mathematicians Conference officially entered the academic exchange period. The authors of the submitted papers came on stage to give reports, and there were also reports from specially invited scholars.
Wang Hao is one of the specially invited scholars, and his report is scheduled for the next morning.
Regarding the time arrangement of the report, the conference organizing committee discussed with Wang Hao. Firstly, because everyone is in a better mental state in the morning, and secondly because many scholars came to the conference for Wang Hao’s report.
.
If Wang Hao had completed the report early, some people might have left that day.
If the report is scheduled for the second day, some scholars will listen carefully to the report on the first day.
This arrangement is quite reasonable, but the conference organizing committee obviously did not take into account the release time of the new issue of Nature Physics.
The new issue of "Nature Physics" magazine is released on the same day as the opening of the Chinese Mathematicians Conference.
Because you can view papers on the website, it turns out that in the afternoon, many scholars just stared at the papers and did not listen carefully to other people's reports.
This scene made Qiu Chengwen feel very depressed, but he couldn't say anything because even he was looking down at the paper.
Compared with Wang Hao's research results, the ordinary reports or work reports given at the conference are nothing interesting at all.
Fortunately, most people are still very serious, and only the top mathematicians are looking at Wang Hao's paper.
The Conference of Chinese Mathematicians still has a certain value. Many foreign Chinese mathematicians, including some overseas Chinese mathematicians working abroad, will come to attend the Conference of Chinese Mathematicians.
There are also excellent reports.
For example, Xu Chunlei, a visiting scholar at Harvard University, gave an excellent research report on linear geometry.
"This is an award-winning research." Qiu Chengwen commented with admiration, "With this research, Xu Chunlei can get an offer from a famous professor."
In addition, there is also a very exciting piece of research in the field of number theory.
Wang Hao and Qiu Hui'an sat together and listened to the report on number theory.
After the report was completed, Wang Hao said to Qiu Hui'an, "If you don't understand something halfway, just stand up and ask questions. It doesn't matter."
"At your age, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
Qiu Hui'an nodded when he heard this, but it still felt weird when he thought about it carefully. He was also twenty-three years old, and there was only a three-year age difference between him and Wang Hao.
If the status of both parties was not taken into account, they were actually the same age. As a result, Wang Hao reminded him, ‘at your age’?
Qiu Hui'an shook his head silently, looking around and still feeling a little nervous. This was his first time attending an academic conference, and he came with Wang Hao and sat in the second row near the front.
On the other side of him is Professor Huang Jin of Sudong University, a rare theoretical physicist in China.
Next to Huang Jin is Academician Tian Guilin, and next to him is Academician Zhang Yifang.
Needless to say, the front row.
If you pick anyone in the first row, they will all have won at least one of the top international awards. Among them are three Fields winners, two Nobel Prize winners in physics, as well as Wolf, Albert and other award winners.
Even if they have not won the top international awards, they still wear the halo of academicians on their heads.
Looking back, the pressure is also very high.
Although Qiu Hui'an didn't know most of them, there was a young mathematician in his early thirties who dared to question Wang Hao face to face.
"Everyone is a top scholar!" Qiu Hui'an was surrounded by a group of big guys and felt a lot of pressure.
Qiu Hui'an still has a lot of face. He is just a student of Wang Hao, but Wang Hao still introduced him, "My student, a graduate student, is studying the Legendre conjecture, so I will take him to a meeting."
One sentence introduction immediately made others feel that Qiu Hui'an was a genius.
Legendre's conjecture is not a big conjecture, but any unsolved small problem in number theory is impossible for most people to solve.
Many people remember Qiu Hui'an's name.
Qiu Hui'an naturally felt that he had face, but he knew that face was brought by Wang Hao, not earned by his own abilities.
He still felt a lot of pressure.
While listening to the report on the podium, he also took a short video and posted it on WeChat Moments with a few words, "Surrounded by big guys, Alexander/Dog Head!"
At the same time, a workshop on the second floor of the Mason Number Laboratory.
Xu Chao checked his mobile phone and looked at the news in his circle of friends. He couldn't help but complain loudly, "Versailles-Qiu!"
"What?"
Chen Mengmeng and Helen raised their heads together.
Xu Chao explained, "Look at Moments, this Versailles-Qiu."
Chen Mengmeng and Helen opened their mobile phones and looked at Moments together.
Helen closed her phone nonchalantly and said, "What's the point? I'm just sitting in the second row. Jeffrey and I went to the Zhucheng Computer Conference together and sat in the first row."
Chen Mengmeng said sourly, "That's because you have a good grandfather. In this kind of international academic conference, I can never imagine sitting in the second row in my life."
"yes."
Xu Chao also nodded sourly, "Unless one day, I go with Teacher Wang."
Helen was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "I think the experimental data for Ding Zhiqiang to conduct the stress test alone is too single. If he wants to perfect the new IQ testing method, he must have more data."
"When Qiu Hui'an comes back from Lingcheng, let him also take part in the test."
Xu Chao and Chen Mengmeng looked at each other and nodded in approval.
"Genius means there should be more pressure."
"The task of not embarrassing Teacher Wang is left to Qiu Hui'an and Ding Zhiqiang, and what we have to do is to urge them to become better."
"You're right!"
Helen immediately corrected with dissatisfaction, "It's just a simple experiment, don't have misunderstandings. I will never target anyone, whether he is a genius or a fool."
"The reason why I asked Qiu Hui'an to join the experiment is just because of the needs of the experiment. If the experiment needs my data, I will take the initiative to join."
Chen Mengmeng asked weakly, "Is it necessary for the experiment?"
"Of course not."
Xu Chao asked funnyly, "Why?"
Helen said matter-of-factly, "Because, this is my experiment."
"..."
"..."
…
The Chinese Mathematicians Conference seemed to have only started in the morning of the next day. There were even more people coming in the morning than at yesterday's opening ceremony.
Wang Hao's report attracted a lot of attention, and he chose the largest lecture hall to deliver his report.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the lecture hall was already packed with people.
The seats in the front rows are fixed, and the seats in the back can be seated at will. Some people simply squeezed in the back row, and some people simply waited at the door.
The official report starts at nine o'clock.
Most of the scholars had arrived before half past eight, and they had been discussing continuously since they arrived at the venue.
Paul Phil-Jones is also here. He has red eyes, like a warrior about to go to the arena. His position is also very forward, on the left side of the third row. When he came in, he brought his own
I had coffee and decided to cheer up and listen to the report.
Others listened to the report hoping to understand it. Paul Phil-Jones wanted to 'find a problem'. He said seriously to Ledley Parsons, "We must be more serious. We have to find him."
problems, and there must be problems.”
Parsons asked, "Paul, what do you think the problem is?"
"What if!"
Paul Phil-Jones said without hesitation, "Wang Hao's mathematics, calculations, and derivation are definitely all right. His ability to calculate anomalies in a fixed energy range is definitely not a coincidence."
"However, this does not mean that the annihilation theory is correct. I have read the content of his paper. The hypothesis is the key. In the paper, he did not make it very clear. Now is his report."
"There must be something wrong here!"
Parsons still has faith in Paul Phil Jones.
String theory is a research field with a cultish feel. Paul Phil-Jones stands at the top of the pyramid, while Parsons is only in the middle. He admires Paul Phil-Jones' ability very much.
Finally it was almost nine o'clock.
Wang Hao walked into the venue from the side door, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Under everyone's gaze, he walked to the reporting stage, turned around and faced the people in the audience.
Before making the official report, he checked the tasks first--
【Task 3】
[Research project name: Constructing a mathematical system for annihilation theory (difficulty: S+).]
[Inspiration value: 7.]
The inspiration value of new tasks increases very quickly, probably because of long-term accumulation. He has been doing research on annihilation theory for a long time, but he has never shaped the underlying mathematical theory.
With the previous accumulation, instead of starting from scratch, the inspiration value will increase faster.
He invested a teaching coin and started a teaching mode that doubled the inspiration value of the task.
The study of the Yang-Mills equation has reached a new stage, and inspiration may not necessarily be obtained.
For the research task on the mathematical structure of annihilation theory, the inspiration value is in a period of rapid growth, and the report is also related to the task to a certain extent, so the growth rate will definitely be faster.
"Thank you all for coming to listen to my report."
Wang Hao started by saying, "This report is my personal research on the Yang-Mills equation, and it is combined with my thinking on the annihilation theory."
"I am very happy to see that the research can be confirmed by the CERN experiment. Here, I would like to thank the ATLAS experimental team."
"Then, you can start."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he began to explain.
His explanation started with the analysis of the Yang-Mills equation, but he only spent ten minutes explaining the analysis of the Yang-Mills equation.
This is mainly the analysis process of equations, which have been published in papers. You can go to the journal "Nature Physics" to find the full content.
Wang Hao just talked about some difficult points.
There is nothing special to say about the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. As long as you have enough foundation, you will understand it if you study it slowly.
That's not a very difficult question.
After ten minutes of brief explanation, he entered the formal content, which is to give physical meaning to the analytical results of the equations.
When it came to this part, everyone in the lecture hall was obviously much more serious.
All you need to know is the result.
Even if they still don't understand the analysis process of the equation, it doesn't affect them from listening to the next content.
Next, Wang Hao directly introduced the hypothesis that ‘annihilation theory is established’, and then conducted research on the physical properties of the equation analysis process and results.
This part of the content is very complicated, because it involves quantum physics, the analysis of several microscopic forces, and the energy distinction of particle collision experiments.
Everyone in the audience listened very carefully.
Faced with such difficult content, it is not easy for even top mathematicians and physicists to follow and understand it all.
Off stage.
Paul Phil-Jones listened very carefully. He stared at the mathematical content on the whiteboard and kept thinking about the "assumed range" in his mind.
When Wang Hao was halfway through his explanation, Paul Phil-Jones had already discovered the key.
Wang Hao's research has two important assumptions. One is the interaction between space and mass; the other is that extremely small mass units will be annihilated.
These are the two basic rules of annihilation theory.
Paul Phil-Jones found that the first rule cannot be broken. The interaction between space and mass can be understood in terms of 'action and reaction'. Even in microphysics, it is difficult to treat particles simply as waves.
refute.
However, the second one is fine.
"The annihilation of the mass unit can be replaced by the disintegration of the string."
"It's not necessarily that the mass unit was annihilated, it could also be that it collapsed naturally..."
Paul Phil-Jones thought with a smile on his face.
He still believes that his idea is not perfect enough to directly deny the annihilation theory, but explaining it from another angle can at least let others know that the annihilation theory is not the only explanation.
…
Wang Hao's report lasted for one and a half hours.
Although the time is not too long, the content is difficult to understand. Even with the understanding bonus effect of "Feedback on Teaching", not more than a quarter of the lecture hall can be understood, and most of them can be understood.
Concentrate on the front row.
After Wang Hao's report is finished, it will go directly to the question time.
Paul Phil-Jones quickly stood up.
Everyone else also looked over.
Jones said impatiently, "Dr. Wang Hao, I think the assumptions in your report can also be explained by string theory."
"Oh?" Wang Hao listened.
"Your hypothesis states that units of mass will be annihilated by space."
"That's just a hypothesis. It's a small enough unit of mass that will disappear out of thin air."
"In string theory, there is also collapse theory. The combination of strings will collapse..."
"Walaura~~"
Jones talked a lot in succession.
Although I felt that most of the content was very professional, the scholars in the front row still listened patiently.
String theory is a very famous physical theory. For some top scholars, even if they have not studied it specifically, they still understand the basic content.
Paul Phil-Jones not only gave a professional explanation, he spoke continuously for about five minutes. It seemed that he felt that it was not enough, so he just walked on the stage.
The host of the meeting looked at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao nodded towards the other party, and staff immediately brought a new whiteboard.
Paul Phil-Jones picked up the pen and started writing seriously on the new whiteboard. He wrote a lot of complex mathematical content without even thinking.
Everyone in the venue watched carefully.
Many people don't understand it at all.
The scholars in the first few rows were still very serious. They slowly understood and understood what Paul Phil-Jones was doing.
Mathematical construction!
To be precise, it is the mathematical construction of M-theory.
String theory has a development history of several decades. It has expanded from the initial improvement of string theory to superstring theory that explains multi-dimensional space. Later, there was M theory that combined five superstring theories and eleven-dimensional space.
The shaping of M theory is aimed at becoming the "ultimate theory of physics".
Now Paul Phil-Jones has taken out part of M theory and combined it with particle mathematics to create a mathematical framework for "string collapse and squeezing into high-dimensional space-time or low-dimensional space-time".
There were several scholars present, all of whom specialize in string theory research.
They were more surprised than others because they found that what Paul Phil-Jones wrote was not what already existed, but a brand new argument.
"He is breaking through the boundaries of dimensions?" Parsons opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw.
He had always known that Jones was very talented, but he never expected that he could be so talented.
Complete new research on site?
and……
Keep writing?
In fact, Paul Phil-Jones stopped to think in the middle, but he seemed to be in a very excited state. He only thought briefly for ten or twenty seconds, and then continued to improve the content.
For half an hour, the time limit for questions had already been exceeded, but no one disturbed him. Even Wang Hao stood aside, and everyone else watched carefully.
Some of them can't understand it at all, but that doesn't stop them from knowing what Paul Phil Jones is doing.
That was completing a new research, and it was advanced M-theory related research, which was absolutely amazing.
"Even Witten would be very surprised when he sees this scene!"
"Witten is old, but there are successors to string theory..."
"What a genius!"
Whether or not Paul Phil-Jones completes his research, he has already made others aware of his genius, and just looking at the mind-numbing content on the whiteboard is enough to elicit a lot of amazement.
Forty minutes have passed.
Paul Phil-Jones finished writing the last symbol. He slowly stepped back a few meters and stood on the edge of the podium, staring at his 'masterpiece' on the whiteboard.
His face showed extreme excitement.
He walked off the stage and made a 'show' gesture, looked at Wang Hao excitedly, and said with confidence, "This is my answer, the explanation given by string theory!"
Paul Phil-Jones seems to be a warrior who has defeated the enemy and has shown the joy of victory.
Others also understood his feelings.
He used string theory to construct the mathematical content of "strings disintegrate into other dimensional spaces", which can naturally replace the hypothesis of "mass units are annihilated" mentioned by Wang Hao.
If it was just 'replacing the hypothesis', it would certainly not be considered a victory, but he also used mathematics as a language to construct the corresponding mathematical foundation.
To put it simply, Paul Phil-Jones used string theory to replace the role of annihilation theory, and constructed a very perfect mathematical foundation.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, had nothing, he just assumed the definition.
Make a decision!
Parsons and several string theorists couldn't help shouting, "Paul, great job!"
"You are the most genius!"
"String theory is correct, annihilation theory is completely meaningless!"
"..."
Many people are shocked by the genius of Paul Phil Jones.
Many people also looked at Wang Hao.
Although Wang Hao's results have not been denied, his hypothesis has been 'challenged', and the experimental results of particle collisions can no longer be used to prove the correctness of the annihilation theory.
Wang Hao also looked at the content on the whiteboard, but there was no solemn or other expression on his face, but a kind of relaxation and expectation.
[Task three, inspiration value +1.]
[Inspiration value: 20.]
The system prompt is the source of Wang Hao's expectations.
After completing the report, the inspiration value of task three was stuck at '19', just a little short of '20'.
After reading the mathematics content of Paul Phil Jones, his inspiration value finally increased by '1' point. He gave a thumbs up to Paul Phil Jones and couldn't help but admire, "It's really perfect mathematics."
Architecture!”
"As expected of string theory, worthy of M theory!"
"Mr. Jones, you are really a genius in string theory!"
Paul Phil-Jones raised the corners of his mouth proudly.
He thought Wang Hao had given up.
The audience was also excited. For a while, many people couldn't help but talk about Paul Phil Jones, feeling that they had witnessed a rare and gorgeous scene.
Wang Hao, the world's number one mathematician, gave a report.
Paul Phil-Jones questioned the hypothesis on the spot and completed new research on M theory on the spot, which to a certain extent negated Wang Hao's hypothesis on the annihilation theory.
However, Wang Hao has not finished speaking yet.
He waved to the staff to bring up a new whiteboard, then stood in front of the whiteboard and turned to Paul Phil-Jones and said, "Thank you for your mathematical argument!"
