Chapter 441 Expand the boundaries of mathematics!
"Yes, Academician Ning, I have estimated that if everything goes well, we will spend almost two weeks on the next work. By then, there will be more people in the world. A mathematical conjecture was successfully proved."
Thinking of such a moment, Ning Chen and the other three were very excited and expected, and they immediately continued their work.
As it turns out, their estimate was somewhat conservative. In just ten days, they successfully completed the remaining workload.
With the completion of all these works, all prime numbers have been proven to conform to the same law, and the entire Goldbach's conjecture has been completely proved.
At this moment, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun could finally celebrate their research results with peace of mind and release the stress and fatigue accumulated over the past few days.
"Professor Tao, we have finally successfully completed all the proofs of Goldbach's conjecture! This research topic was proposed by you, Professor Tao, and the main ideas and work were also led by you, Professor Tao. You should get the main ownership of this result.”
Ning Chen expressed his views on the ownership of this result to Tao Zhexuan. The reason why he said these things to Tao Zhexuan was not Ning Chen. Out of politeness, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope to attribute this achievement to Tao Zhexuan.
To be fair, Tao Zhexuan did play a mainstay role in this research, and this was the first time Tao Zhexuan did his own personal research project after joining Shengzhou University. Ning Chen hopes that Tao Zhexuan can get results worthy of his efforts.
Although Ning Chen also played an important role in it, Ning Chen felt that the work he had done was relatively secondary in comparison. Without Tao Zhexuan’s ideas, Ning Chen would have It is very likely that Chen will not start research on Goldbach’s conjecture at all.
But Tao Zhexuan obviously didn't think so. After hearing Ning Chen's words, Tao Zhexuan quickly retorted.
“Academician Ning, after these days of research, I realize that my attainments in mathematics are far from enough. My original idea of solving Goldbach’s conjecture on my own was indeed too immature. Academician Ning, you should still get the first right to achieve this result..."
Tao Zhexuan knew in his heart that if he simply relied on his original idea to study Goldbach's conjecture, he would not be able to achieve anything at all in the end. No substantial results could be achieved.
Furthermore, the important reason why the entire research can progress is thanks to the brain biocomputer technology of Xingchen Technology. Without this technology, Tao Zhexuan would not even be able to touch the surface of Goldbach's conjecture.
When this research entered the bottleneck stage, it was Ning Chen who also thought of an ingenious solution to the problem. By constructing a prime number model in a four-dimensional space, he found the unified law of prime numbers.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Tao Zhexuan did not dare to exclusively enjoy this important research result, and felt that it was more reasonable for Ning Chen to obtain this result.
When Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan were arguing over the ownership of the results, Song Xiyun said helplessly:
“Hey, others hope that they can get the first ownership of the results. But the two of you are pushing the ownership of the achievement back and forth. If you both don’t want the achievement, I will take it away shamelessly.”
Song Xiyun naturally just responded to this. It was a joke, but she didn't dare to take away this achievement. After all, Song Xiyun knew in her heart that she only played a supporting role in it.
“Song Xiyun, let’s return this achievement to Professor Tao. Although the ideas I proposed are also critical, they still do not change the core ideas for solving the entire problem, and these ideas were all provided by Professor Tao. , Song Xiyun, don’t you think so?”
"Mr. Song, you did play a very important role in the research of the project, but in comparison, Academician Ning played a greater role. When our research came to a standstill, I was almost in a state of In despair, Academician Ning constructed an imaginative four-dimensional prime number space model, which suddenly solved the deadlock we were in. I know that Academician Ning can also do the work I did, but I simply cannot complete the work done by Academician Ning..."
Neither Ning Chen nor Tao Zhexuan paid much attention to Song Xiyun's joke, but let Song Xiyun comment on their views." Commentary", which made Song Xiyun also become embarrassed.
To be fair, what Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan said are reasonable, and no matter which one of them is the first owner of this achievement, it is a reasonable thing.
In desperation, Song Xiyun had no choice but to say:
"If it doesn't work, let you two share the first authorship of this result. If this plan still doesn't work, I will also There is no other way, otherwise it will just be a 'duel' between the two of you."
After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan looked at each other and both smiled.
For this kind of problem, Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan naturally do not need to engage in any "duel", and although Song Xiyun's plan is not so satisfactory to them, it is still a compromise plan.
"Academician Ning, if it doesn't work, just follow what Teacher Song said. I don't have any objections to this."
"Okay, then it's settled. But I have one more request, and that is for Professor Tao to put your name at the top of the list of co-first authors.”
Since Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan are both co-first authors of this paper. , then in theory, no matter whose name is ranked first, it is irrelevant. Of course, the name ranked first will definitely receive more attention from everyone, and will be regarded as a contribution to the research results by everyone. made a greater contribution.
At this point, Tao Zhexuan could no longer postpone anything, so he had no choice but to accept this arrangement in accordance with Ning Chen's request.
…………
In the following time, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun worked together to write a research paper on Goldbach’s conjecture.
The writing process of this paper was very smooth. They only needed to present some core ideas in the entire research process into the paper.
In just three days, they completed the writing of this paper, and quickly completed the proofreading and revision work, officially finalizing the paper. If it were in the past, they would still need to submit the paper, and only after the submission of the paper is approved can they be sure that the paper can be published publicly.
Even though Ning Chen has a very high status in "Academic Sky" and often gets some privileges from the journal, there is still a certain delay in the publication of papers.
However, when the web version of "Academic Starry Sky" was launched, these problems no longer existed.
The three of them had a brief discussion and were willing to publish this paper directly on the web version of "Academic Sky" as soon as possible. This will not only allow people to see this paper for the first time, but also At the same time, it also means that the process of submitting papers to "Academic Starry Sky" is automatically completed.
As for whether this paper can be accepted by "Academic Starry Sky", and if so, when it can be officially published in the journal, Ning Chen and the others are not worried about it.
After publishing this paper on the website of "Academic Sky", Ning Chen and others did not even say hello to the editorial department of "Academic Sky" and went to deal with other work.
As soon as this paper went online, it immediately appeared on the front page of the "Academic Sky" website, and received the highest recommendation scale on the website.
After all, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun are all the highest-level academic researchers on "Academic Starry Sky" and have very high academic ratings.
No matter what paper they publish on the website, it will immediately be recommended by the "Academic Sky" website, let alone the rare scene where the three of them jointly publish a paper.
All of a sudden, the entire "Academic Sky" website was enthusiastically discussing the paper written by Ning Chen and the others, and was plunged into an unprecedented academic atmosphere.
"Oh my God, I can't believe that not long after the Riemann Hypothesis was successfully proved, Goldbach's Hypothesis was also proved so quickly! This is really a flourishing era in the history of mathematics!"
"Tao Zhexuan The professor has produced such important research results just a short time after joining Shengzhou University, which is enough to show how important it is for Tao Zhexuan to join Shengzhou University."
"The three of them should. They are the three people with the strongest research capabilities in the field of mathematics today. The correctness and significance of this research result are beyond doubt. I believe that from now on, there will be fewer and fewer unsolved conjectures in the field of mathematics.”
In this lively discussion atmosphere, there are also many professional mathematics researchers trying to conduct professional analysis of Ning Chen's paper.
Because the complexity of this paper is very high, it is a very complicated matter to thoroughly study this paper.
Fortunately, the establishment of the web version of "Academic Sky" has made it very convenient for academic researchers to communicate with each other. They only need to go to the "Academic Sky" website to conduct real-time research on this paper. Discussion, this convenient discussion also greatly speeds up the process of understanding this paper.
Within a few weeks, many of the world's top mathematicians gave very high ratings to Ning Chen's paper on the website of "Academic Sky" and conducted A very professional analysis.
“This is really a research method that subverts the mathematics world. Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun found a universal expression for prime numbers through a four-dimensional space modeling method, thus completing They solved the entire proof of Goldbach's conjecture."
"Yes, they actually tried to treat prime numbers as a kind of 'matter', which is a mathematical research method that has never appeared before. . Academician Ning Chen’s attainments in physics and materials science must have played a key role in this research.”
“The biocomputer technology is also very important. This technology allows them to do this. Complete a massive amount of calculation work at the fastest speed and in a very short time. In the past, even with the same research ideas, these tasks could not be completed within a limited time. .”
In addition to these analyzes of the content of the paper itself, people have not ignored Ning Chen's important contribution to this paper just because of the order of authors.
Many people know that without Ning Chen, it would be difficult for Tao Zhexuan to complete this research work alone. Tao Zhexuan completed such a blockbuster research not long after joining Shengzhou University The results illustrate the important connection.
This has also attracted more researchers to have the idea of joining Shengzhou University. Even if they do not have as high an upper limit as Tao Zhexuan, the higher academic resources and academic environment will definitely allow them to Academically, I achieved greater breakthroughs than before.
Qiu Chengtong was very excited when he learned about this incident. He quickly contacted Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun to express his congratulations to them.
Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were able to successfully prove the Riemann Hypothesis before, which surprised Qiu Chengtong. This time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were able to complete the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, which surprised Qiu Chengtong even more. Totally unexpected.
After reading this paper, Qiu Chengtong also felt very incredible about some of the research methods in this paper. He never expected that such research methods would appear in mathematics research.
Even if Qiu Chengtong exhausted all his knowledge, he could only barely understand Ning Chen's proof ideas. This made Qiu Chengtong sigh that he had really fallen behind the young people today.
"Academician Ning, I am really proud of your performance. I hope that in the future, you can continue to crack other unsolved conjectures in mathematics and solve all these problems of the new millennium. In this way Come, there will be no more problems in mathematics," Qiu Chengtong said.
"Professor Qiu, thank you for your attention to our research. We also hope that such a goal can be achieved as soon as possible. However, even if we really solve all the unsolved problems in mathematics today, this does not mean that the mathematics community There are no more problems to solve. I believe we will continue to create new conjectures and then work hard to solve them."
After the conjectures in the mathematics world are gradually overcome one by one, Ning Chen does not. You may feel that the development of mathematics has reached its limit, but instead feel that this is the beginning of a new era of mathematics.
As for continuing to expand the research boundaries of mathematics, Ning Chen now has some ideas.
