Anti-gravity technology was proposed by Tesla many years ago, and even the Utron engine was proposed for this reason.
As the saying goes, if you are half a step ahead, you are a genius; if you are one step ahead, you are a madman.
Tesla, however, was several generations ahead of his time and was definitely the lunatic among lunatics.
But now, Zhou Jimin wants to follow in the footsteps of this madman and wants to turn the legendary anti-gravity technology into a reality.
Antia and others thought he was crazy, but when they saw the equation, they were speechless for a long time.
I have to admit that Zhou Jimin’s talent in this area is indeed incredible.
However, no matter how contrary to heaven, he is still a mortal, not a god.
Can anti-gravity technology really be realized in our lifetime?
"Alban, do you know how much this will cost? And do you have so much time?"
Suddenly, Brig asked a question.
This gentleman is a Moscow mathematician from the Luji Kingdom. He is very talented in mathematics and physics. Although he is only thirty-three years old, his achievements in mathematics and physics are enough to defeat many people.
At a young age, Bregg was already a professor of mathematics at the Sorbonne University. He also received a doctorate in number theory from the University of Oxford, so he had very strong qualifications.
Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"I don't know if you have heard of Philip? You have, right? That's great, but I guess you haven't heard of Iris Laboratory?"
Antia and several older people were shocked and even moved their bodies back a little.
"You work for Iris Labs?"
Boleg and others, who didn't quite understand what was going on, became confused.
They don't quite understand why Antia and the others reacted so violently when they heard about the people in Iris Laboratory. They were simply frightened.
Zhou Jimin has a lot of say in this regard.
"Of course I won't work for that kind of rubbish laboratory, but I heard Philip and the others talking about this laboratory..."
Then, Zhou Jimin briefly talked about the countless things that this laboratory has done in the past.
Then, the conversation changed and they mentioned the utopian June Fourth town where Philip and the others currently work.
He just briefly described the general situation of the June 4th town and talked about a few basic projects currently underway, but did not go into detail.
However, as for the scenery of the June Fourth town, he directly took out pictures of scenery with four distinct seasons.
There are about dozens of photos, all of them showing Philip and his Alban vest.
When everyone looked at those photos, their hearts suddenly became excited.
For no other reason than this environment, they fell in love with it.
Moreover, Antia had heard about Philip before and knew that the latter had gone to the Iris Laboratory.
However, Antia doesn’t know what happens next.
After all, in this era, information transmission is very slow. If we rely on letters, it will take several months at the earliest. Sometimes, it takes half a year or even several years to receive letters from overseas.
Not to mention, Philip and others lost contact after entering the Iris laboratory.
Unexpectedly, I went to a utopian place.
"Alban, you've been there, what do you think of that place?"
"Freedom does not exist. I can only say that that place is definitely the ultimate pursuit of scholars."
Facing Brig's question, Zhou Jimin paused and then said:
"I've been there for a while, and the academic atmosphere there is the only one I've ever seen in my life. If it weren't for participating in this conference, I wouldn't have left there..."
"Then if I want to join, how do I apply?"
Bregg couldn't help but ask. He was very excited. If he could participate in scientific research projects such as anti-gravity technology, it would not only be a matter of qualifications, but also use what he had learned in his life to implement the legendary technology, just like a mortal.
You can also become a god, and the temptation is not ordinary.
"It's not that simple. This place is not something you can just go to if you want to."
Hearing this, Zhou Jimin shook his head and said:
"The person who manages Philip and the others is called Boss Panda. This person is very powerful. He helped solve all external problems such as water and electricity in that place, but he is also willing to listen to Philip and the others' opinions..."
"No one in that place wants the strong academic atmosphere and peaceful life to be broken..."
"Therefore, they will strictly screen outsiders. First of all, they must be able to endure loneliness..."
There are many screening conditions, but they basically meet the expectations of Antia, Bregg and others.
The so-called ability to endure loneliness means that you can do scientific research with peace of mind and don’t think about it.
For scholars like them, this is the sound of nature.
After all, even as the youngest professor at the Sorbonne, Bregg was always disturbed by various things when he was at school. It was impossible to concentrate on scientific research.
Therefore, Antia and the others do not regard this request as a requirement, but more like a benefit.
The second requirement is to cut off contact with the outside world. This is a detailed explanation of the first requirement. Everyone has no opinion on this.
Anyway, many people who engage in mathematics research are otakus and have little contact with the outside world.
Besides, when you enter that place, with seniors like Philip and people like Zhou Jimin, even if you encounter problems, there will be a lot of powerful people to ask for advice.
Then there are the ability requirements, which most of the people here meet.
There are also requirements in terms of character, and peace-loving.
In short, it seems very simple, but in fact, not many people want to meet the above requirements.
"Maybe you think that in such a wonderful utopia-like place where everyone can join, you are thinking too much. As I just said, most of the people who came to participate in this conference have been kicked out.
It’s…”
Picking up the cup and taking a sip of water, Zhou Jimin continued:
"Besides, I just invited you. Whether Boss Panda will let you join is beyond my control."
"Okay, it's still early to say this now. It's already very late. I have to make a report tomorrow."
After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses, got up and left one after another.
However, this night, some people are destined to be unable to sleep.
Should I say it or not, the scene described by Zhou Jimin just now has been deeply imprinted in the minds of Brig and others.
Not to mention the environment of the small town on June 4th, just the anti-gravity and other technologies mentioned by Zhou Jimin, as well as the mathematical problems, were very attractive.
Especially the older professors such as Antia, they are looking forward to it.
Although mathematics is the foundation of all subjects, there is another way of saying that mathematics is just a tool to explain other subjects.
In other words, it is actually difficult to make good use of mathematics to help the real world.
Especially for theoretical researchers, it is even more difficult for them.
However, Zhou Jimin gave them a chance.
In addition, the many mathematics topics mentioned by Zhou Jimin, as well as the papers he wrote in the past year, have been widely recognized.
If you study it in depth, you might actually be able to succeed.
Once successful, it will be an earth-shattering event.
Not to mention other things, anti-gravity technology alone is enough to cause shock in the scientific community.
Turning around, it was Zhou Jimin’s report. The latest theoretical research on the Hodge conjecture did not prove the Hodge conjecture, but put forward a hypothesis, or a tool, to solve the conjecture.
The Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem in algebraic geometry.
It is a conjecture about the connection between the algebraic topology of non-singular complex algebraic varieties and their geometry expressed by the polynomial equations that define sub-varieties.
Before proposing this tool, Zhou Jimin published two papers respectively in algebra and geometry, both of which were of very high quality and solved several subdivision problems raised by predecessors in the Hodge conjecture.
Before the report meeting even started, there were many senior executives in the front row.
Yinwan Petrovsky, the chairman of this conference, is sitting at the front, chatting with several other friends.
Who knows, at this time, a staff member hurried over and whispered something in Petrovsky's ear, which made her stand up in surprise.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, I just received a call. The other party came by plane this morning..."
"Let's go, I'm going to greet you."
"Old friend, what's wrong?"
Noslav looked at Petrovsky in surprise, not quite understanding why she was so excited?
"William Hodge is here. He just got off the plane and is probably almost here."
Hiss!
Hearing Petrovsky's words, Noslav also took a breath of cold air, then stood up, preparing to go outside to greet William Hodge.
Many people in the venue looked at the actions of Petrovsky and others in surprise.
It wasn't until everyone saw William Hodge at the door that they stood up.
For a time, the entire scene burst into applause.
Why?
Because the person who came was none other than William Hodge, a mathematician from Great Britain, the proposer of the Hodge conjecture.
"Hello Sir William, welcome to the 15th International Congress of Mathematicians..."
Many bosses stood up and greeted William Hodge.
There were many mathematicians from Europe and the United States present, and most of them knew William Hodge.
The people at the venue were basically all mathematics enthusiasts or mathematicians. Many of them had even read William Hodge's works or papers, so of course they knew him.
Although the transmission of information in this era is very slow, the International Congress of Mathematicians has been held several times. William Hodge is so popular, of course novices will be curious and ask.
Therefore, for a while, the scene was very lively.
Zhou Jimin, who was sitting backstage and preparing to go on stage, also heard what was going on in front of him, but he was not very curious.
In today's report meeting, he only proposed auxiliary tools to prove Hodge's conjecture, and would not directly prove it.
Although he has completed the entire proof step, there is no need to release him all at once.
If Bald Eagle finds out, maybe he, Alban's vest, will be in trouble.
He was extremely calm, but Brig, Antia and others outside were all worried about him.
"Teacher, do you think Alban is nervous now?"
In the middle seat, Malcolm looked at the excitement in the front row, then lowered his head and said to the instructor sitting next to him.
Anders glanced at the other party and said with disgust:
"I still say the same thing. It doesn't matter to you whether Alban is nervous or not, but if you don't take good notes and fail to pass the inspection when you go back, you can think about how serious the consequences will be."
"………….."
Malcolm was speechless. As a teacher, he was good at everything. The only bad thing was that he always compared him with Zhou Jimin.
Do other people’s children really smell so good?
After a while, the report meeting officially began. Zhou Jimin came to the podium and looked at the staircase auditorium. There were about a thousand people sitting there. He took a deep breath and began to report.
This is not the first time that he has stood on such a podium to give a speech. When he was doing academic exchanges in Great Britain, he had given several lectures before, but the scale was slightly smaller.
But to him, it's not a big deal.
Just like school.
However, this report meeting is only one hour after all, so the time is quite tight.
Moreover, fifteen minutes of question time were required, so he could only shorten the time and condense all the important parts into forty-five minutes.
"...On this surface, we can use partial differential equations in the form of harmonic calculus to solve..."
"Please look at the formula on the third line on page 37 of the paper..."
"...To sum up, these are all the formulas and theories of the tool I proposed..."
After that, Zhou Jimin put the chalk back on the blackboard, then said with a smile, the next step is question time.
The time he was writing on the blackboard just now was very fast. In just forty-five minutes, there was no room left on the blackboard behind him. They were all equations.
Malcolm in the audience couldn't keep up with Zhou Jimin's rhythm from the fifth minute on.
As for the notes, they’re completely wiped out.
Because he couldn't write as fast as Zhou Jimin wrote on the blackboard, when he heard the latter asking questions, he was immediately blinded.
This made him, a rookie mathematician who thought he was a genius, completely lose his self-confidence.
It is estimated that there are no more than fifty people at the scene who can keep up with the pace of Zhou Jimin's lectures.
But Zhang Peigen really understood it, because he himself had deep research on algebraic geometry, not to mention he was Chen Shengshen's disciple.
The latter is the super boss in the field of algebraic geometry.
In this regard, even William Hodge is inferior.
You should know that Chen Shengshen combined the methods of differential geometry and topology to complete two epoch-making important works: Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem and the representative class theory of hermitian manifolds, which provided indispensable tools for large-scale differential geometry.
.
These concepts and tools have gone far beyond the scope of differential geometry and topology and have become an important part of the entire modern mathematics.
This time, Zhang Peigen came to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians. In addition to gaining insights, he also wanted to have a collision of ideas with other mathematicians, which might inspire him and allow him to outdo his predecessors.
"Hello, Mr. Alban, regarding the second paragraph on page 48 of the paper..."
Zhang Peigen was the first to ask a question again. Zhou Jimin also wanted to know what questions the other party would ask, but this is the result?
"Okay, since you need to explain in detail, let me briefly outline it. This part is actually the equation..."
Malcolm, who was busy copying notes, was stunned when he saw Zhou Jimin directly erasing the words on the blackboard.
He hasn’t finished writing yet, damn!
"Go to him at night and ask for his notes. You must squeeze him dry!"
If Zhou Jimin heard Malcolm's words, he would definitely give him a big mouth.
"I won't write the rest of the formula, so as not to waste everyone's time, next one!"
After hearing what Zhou Jimin said, those who had not understood it at all were even more speechless.
What is a waste of time?
Please explain it carefully, but no one understands it.
However, as the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.
Zhang Peigen is so young. Not only can he keep up with Zhou Jimin's pace, but he can also find out problems. This is not easy.
After all, if you don’t understand it clearly, the questions raised must be very unfounded, and Zhou Jimin wouldn’t be able to spend three minutes explaining them.
Immediately, two more professors raised questions, but they could not stump Zhou Jimin.
"The last six minutes, do you have any questions?"
Of the fifteen minutes of questioning time, he only spent nine minutes among the three people in front of him.
It's not that the question is simple, but that Zhou Jimin thinks very quickly. He has proved the entire Hodge conjecture. How could there be any questions that he can't answer?
Brig looked at the high-spirited Zhou Jimin on the podium and felt relieved.
"It looks like I'm going to book the place he mentioned!"
Although he only knew Zhou Jimin for three or four days during this conference.
But enough is enough!
People who engage in mathematical research are simple and pure people, without so many tricks.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin is a very trustworthy person.
Besides, even if he couldn't go to that place, he would definitely find a way to communicate more with Zhou Jimin.
The more talented a person is, the higher his or her future achievements will be.
There is no harm in communicating more with such people.
Antia and others were also filled with emotion. Sure enough, there are talents emerging from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones.
Seeing young Zhou Jimin, they seemed to remember that they were so energetic and giving guidance in the past!
Now, half of his waist is buried in soil, and he doesn’t know how long he can survive.
Chen Shengshen, sitting in the front row, was all smiles.
In the field of algebraic geometry, there are successors!
However, there is a huge gap between his disciple who entered the house and Zhou Jimin on the podium.
"Why are you dazed? Have you finished writing?"
Anders had already understood what Zhou Jimin said, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Malcolm, who was wandering in the world, and he suddenly became very angry.
Hearing the teacher's words about how iron can never become steel, Malcolm hurriedly sat down and became serious.
But at this time, William Hodge suddenly stood up:
"Young man, you must have proved my conjecture, right? Why don't you publish it?"
Buzz!
Many people at the scene were stunned and it was noisy.
Has the Hodge conjecture been proven?
