As soon as these two papers in different fields were published, they once again stirred up the entire academic community just like when they were first posted on arxiv, and this time their influence was greater than before. After all, the author of "Electronic Topological Bonding Theory"
The importance is there. This issue of Nature magazine has this paper by Lin Xiao as the cover.
In addition, these two papers were actually published at the same time, which surprised people even more.
Doesn't this mean that Lin Xiao can complete two important-level theories in a short period of time?
In particular, Lin's theorem is also used in "Electronic Topological Bonding Theory", which shows Lin Xiao's comprehensive application ability across multiple disciplines.
As a result, people gradually shifted from talking about the importance of these two papers to discussing Lin Xiao's talent.
Such a question appeared on the international version of Zhihu reddit.
【What is Lin Xiao’s IQ?】
This question has aroused discussions among people all over the world, just like people are very keen to discuss Einstein's IQ, and now Lin Xiao, a super genius who is still alive and has first-class talent, can also be included in
among the objects being discussed.
The first is a netizen from the United States: "I don't know what Lin Xiao's IQ is, but I heard that Tao Zhexuan's IQ is 220-230, so I think Lin Xiao's IQ should be higher than this, right?"
This reply attracted many comments.
"Lin Xiao's IQ must be over 300. If it's not, I'll eat two burgers a day. If it's more, I'll eat one burger a day."
"Hey man, just say you want a burger, no one will laugh at you"
"Oh! With an IQ of over 300, is he still a human being? Isn't Einstein's IQ only around 180?"
"I think after Lin Xiao dies, it is necessary for us to dissect his brain and see what his brain looks like."
"It's a real punishment, it's so cruel"
"I heard that people with high IQs generally live longer. People like Lin Xiao may live to be eighty or ninety years old, so you probably won't have the chance to see it."
…
There were many comments, and what was even more coincidental was that it also attracted a reply from Terence Tao himself.
"Actually, I don't think I have a higher IQ than Einstein. At least something like the general theory of relativity is impossible for me to come up with on my own. But Lin Xiao has come up with a theory like multidimensional field theory that can be compared with the theory of relativity.
And he is still at his age, so I think even if there is not an IQ of 300 of 270 or 280, there must be some.』
Immediately, Tao Zhexuan's reply shocked people even more. Even this big boss came out to speak out. So isn't it certain that Lin Xiao has a super high IQ?
An IQ close to 300, what kind of concept is this?
So, once again, many netizens rushed to discuss it.
For example, a Russian netizen said: "Sukabu, is this the kind of IQ a human being can have?"
Another German netizen said: "With such a high IQ, now I even have some doubts that Lin Xiao can really build an X-ray lithography machine, especially since they are so close to success!"
A British netizen said: "Britain has Newton, Germany has Einstein, China has Lin Xiao, France has?"
British netizen 2: "Brother, you can't say that. Everyone has merit, even the French. There are still many powerful scientists in France, such as the Emperor of Mathematics, Grothendieck."
British netizen 1: "But Grothendieck was born in Germany"
French netizen: "We in France are the center of mathematics in the world! Lin Xiao once came to study with us. Who do you think the UK is?"
Chinese netizen 1: "Yes, our Lin Shen is so awesome"
Chinese netizen 2: "You may not know what it is to have two papers published in "Annals of Mathematics" and "Nature" in the same month. We can only use two words to describe it, weird! Back then, Einstein
It took fourteen years to become world-famous from obscurity, but it only took Lin Xiao two years, so that’s not a problem!』
…
All in all, this question on reddit attracted thousands of responses from netizens.
Of course, these are all international discussions, and domestic discussions are even more heated. On all major platforms, whether they are fans of Lin Xiao or not, they are discussing this matter that has also attracted great attention abroad.
And it was at this time that a video suddenly came out.
The video is very short, less than twenty seconds, and the protagonist in the video is Lin Xiao.
In the video, Lin Xiao was seen holding a pen in his hand, and then he spread out a piece of paper that looked very large and drew construction drawings on it.
I can't see what I'm painting at the moment, but these are not the main point. The main point is Lin Xiao's incredible painting method.
No need for a ruler, no set square, no need for a compass. Just draw it and it will be a straight line or a circle that cannot be any more round?
What is this operation?
Even the well-informed netizens were stunned by this scene.
But that's not all. The video then showed Lin Xiao drawing parallel lines and concentric circles, which made netizens even more kneel down.
If drawing straight lines and circles can be understood, then the operation of directly drawing parallel lines and concentric circles without the aid of tools is completely outrageous.
For the former, if you major in art, it is not impossible to do it. Even for many outsiders, as long as you practice more, it is not impossible to draw straight lines. As for drawing circles, it is a little more difficult.
But for some people who have been practicing painting for several years, it is actually not a problem.
But drawing parallel lines and concentric circles at random is obviously more difficult.
If you are not a painting expert, you will not be able to do it at all.
Ever since, Lin Xiao’s two papers originally only attracted people studying science and engineering to participate in the discussion, but now almost everyone participated in the discussion. After all, in the past, videos of teachers casually drawing a circle could attract people.
There were a lot of comments, but now it was Lin Xiao, which attracted even more people.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao accidentally became a hot search topic again.
"Why is Lin Shen so good at everything? He's just good at everything else, but now he's even so good at drawing? If I had this skill, would I still have passed the drawing class last semester?"
"What a coincidence, I also failed the engineering drawing test last semester. It was too difficult."
"Brothers, I said last time that Lin Xiao was systematic. There was an accident last time. This time I am serious. Look, if he can draw like this, Lin Xiao really has a system."
"Brother, are you still there? There won't be another accident, right?"
"@林小, Lin Shen, you still said you don’t have any skills!"
"I am a netizen from the north of mainland China. What is Lin Shen drawing? Why does it look a bit like a machine?"
"Damn it, there are half a million!"
"Fuck! 1450!"
"Hello, this netizen from the north of mainland China, please stand here and don't move. I will bring some National Security Bureau personnel over. They will definitely be able to help Nigeria."
…
Among a lot of weird comments, a comment from an art blogger finally appeared: "Finally Lin Shen has done something that I can evaluate. I have been painting for ten years, and Lin Shen still has a straight line."
I won’t go into detail about drawing circles. I can do this too, but I can only barely do the technique of drawing parallel lines and concentric circles. This requires extremely precise eyesight, as well as the placement of the pen.
It is basically impossible to achieve this without more than ten years of immersion, but Lin Shen just seems to write it casually. I have only seen this level from my teacher, who is
CAFA professor Zhang Xingcai. With Lin Shen’s ability, I guess if he learns to paint, he might be another genius.』
"Huh? This painting blogger? I remember you are the one who painted R18 on the P site?"
"This blogger, how much does a set of customized books cost (dog head)"
"This blogger, you don't want your teacher to know that you have an account on Station P, right? So you gave me a customized copy!"
"This Japanese netizen please calm down, the Internet is not a lawless place (dog head)"
So an hour later, the art blogger’s comments disappeared.
Of course, this art blogger’s Weibo was still hacked, and no one knows what the final situation will be.
The heated discussion on the Internet will naturally affect Lin Xiao.
Although Lin Xiao has basically been sitting in his room studying the Hodge conjecture for so many days, he can't help but get greetings from a lot of people every time it is a hot search.
Seeing that he was inexplicably on another hot search, Lin Xiao sighed, why is this hot search so popular?
He really doesn’t want to have sex at all!
However, I couldn’t hold back the enthusiasm of netizens, so I had to do this.
However, if that's it, it's obviously not over yet. When Lin Xiao goes to school next, these students won't let him go.
So later, before a number theory class.
When Lin Xiao walked into the classroom, the students immediately started to make a fuss in the packed classroom.
"Professor Lin, draw one! Professor Lin, draw one!"
"Lin Shen, show us how to draw parallel lines and concentric circles!"
"Professor Lin..."
Looking at this group of students, Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "What's so interesting about this? You study number theory and don't draw pictures, so why do you care?"
"We just want to get to know each other better!"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and finally said: "Okay, then I will show you. Of course, I have conditions."
All the students in the audience waved their hands: "It's okay, we are not afraid of the cost."
Seeing their confident looks, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'll talk about the conditions later. Now I'll show you a show first."
Then, he picked up the chalk and started drawing on the blackboard.
Although he used chalk this time, it was the same to him, so he immediately wrapped his arm around it, and the circle appeared in front of them. Then he drew inside it again, and suddenly it was inscribed.
A side triangle appeared, and then he drew an inscribed circle inside this equilateral triangle.
The students who watched him operate were shocked again.
Compared with what I saw on the video before, it was far less shocking than what I saw in person.
Now, these students from the School of Mathematics at Peking University, considered by others to be top academics, were once again confused.
Could it be that if you are good at mathematics, you still need to be able to draw circles and straight lines like Lin Xiao?
Until the end, Lin Xiao finished the drawing, then clapped his hands, looked at the picture on the blackboard, and showed a satisfied expression.
Now, this picture is not just a figure composed of ordinary straight lines and circles, but includes images composed of circles, triangles, ellipses and other plane geometric figures. Coupled with Lin Xiao's drawing skills that are like a humanoid drawing machine, this picture
The sub-image is like what a printer printed on a blackboard.
Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced at the students present. These students either had their mouths wide open or were recording videos with their mobile phones.
He smiled, then turned around and started writing again. This time, he was writing letters on some points in the picture.
Seeing this scene, these students who were in shock suddenly woke up and wrote letters on these points?
Doesn't this mean... Lin Xiao just gave them a question by the way?
The fact is that this is the case. After Lin Xiao marked the letters on it, he turned around and said: "I heard that you have recently learned basic algebraic geometry. I will combine your basic algebraic geometry and number theory to give you a question.
"
"Well, let's assume that the radius of the large circle is 5, the radius of the small circle is 3, the length of arc AB is 6, BD=4, BE=6... Finally, try to prove Fermat's Little Theorem."
"This is the condition for you to let me draw a picture. How about it? Is it very simple?"
