Chapter 275: Fanaticism in Mathematics
When the phased paper on the NS equation was uploaded to Arxiv, the news quickly spread in the mathematics and physics circles.
The number of visits to the Arxiv preprint website began to surge sharply, and the influx of traffic in a short period of time directly forced the server to shut down.
In the few days after the paper was uploaded, almost all major professional mathematics and physics forums were discussing this matter.
[I heard that the NS equation was proved! 】
[Impossible, the NS equation cannot be solved. 】
[But the ones who publicly proved the thesis were Nobel Prize winners + Fields Medal winners! 】
【What the hell? Sichuan God? He proved the NS equation again? 】
[Why are you saying it again! ! 】
[Did anyone understand the paper? Over two hundred pages of proof, darling. 】
[Look at Maomao, the arixv server has been shut down, and the paper cannot be downloaded. Has anyone downloaded the paper? Requesting a paper, the email address is as follows: ******]
[+1 for the same request! 】
On the forum, related discussions are very popular.
But not many people discuss whether the paper is correct. Those who discuss this matter are almost all elementary school scumbags.
After all, the real bosses are basically still gnawing away at papers.
There are more than two hundred papers, mixed with a lot of citations and calculations. Even for experts in the field of partial differential equations, it is not easy to finish them in a short time.
California, University of California, Los Angeles, Terence Tao wore glasses and took the manuscript paper from his assistant.
For him who is proficient in almost all fields of mathematics, although NS equations are not in his research field, he is still quite familiar with it. After all, partial differential equations are one of the fields he is most familiar with.
In 2015, a Kazakhstani mathematician Mukhta claimed that he had solved the Navier-Stokes equation.
It caused quite a stir in the mathematical community at that time.
After all, this mathematician himself is quite famous. He was born in the pre-Hong Kong Su era, and he also solved many mathematical problems. He was also a quite famous mathematician in the 20th century.
Such a mathematician Xuancheng solved the NS equation by himself, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
But unfortunately, the mathematician wrote his paper in Russian, which could be said to be difficult for many people to understand at the time.
But it doesn't matter, he happens to be the one who can understand Russian.
After accepting the review invitation from the "Annals of Mathematics", Tao Zhexuan thought this was something that would inspire people. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, he learned from Mukhtar's paper. As many as six fatal flaws were found, declaring the failure of the proof.
This time, the proof of the NS equation once again appeared in his hands, and it was completed by the mathematician he was most optimistic about and admired among the younger generation.
No doubt this aroused his great interest.
Pushing up his glasses, Terence Tao was immersed in the paper in his hand.
It was not an easy task for him to fully understand the two-hundred-page paper. He canceled the next day's classes and activities, and spent nearly two days to thoroughly read the paper.
"It's really wonderful! As expected of Professor Xu!"
"Starting from a physical perspective, using eddy current experiments to find clues, and perfectly combining applied physics and theoretical mathematics to apply it to the NS equation, this is a brand new idea!"
"I thought he would give up his mathematical research after returning to China. Unexpectedly, not only did he not do it, he actually did better than before!"
In the office, Tao Zhexuan sighed, put down the paper in his hand, turned on the computer, and logged in to his Twitter.
As a mathematician who is keen on surfing the Internet, he will be involved in almost every major event in the mathematical world.
This also led to many netizens commenting on him when encountering math problems on the Internet.
The same is true for the phased results of the NS equation this time. After the matter became fermented, many mathematicians and netizens paid attention to him.
Of course, he himself enjoyed this feeling.
Now, it's time to give a response.
[I have read Professor Xu’s paper, and I have to say that it is a very exciting and inspiring paper. 】
[In this staged proof of the NS equation, he used a brand-new method to study data. He used eddy current collisions in applied physics to provide theoretical data and get what he wanted from it. 】
[It must be said that in the history of mathematics research, this is a quite rare situation. It also brings us a brand new method, especially when facing difficult problems such as NS equations, which are intertwined with mathematics and physics, perhaps we can find the answer by starting on a different track. 】
[Of course, I don’t recommend that everyone do this. Because this requires extremely deep mathematical skills and physical abilities. Looking at the entire mathematics and physics circles, there are only a handful of people with this ability. 】【Back to the paper, from the current point of view, I have not found any major flaws or problems in the paper. However, I will continue to study and exchange opinions with other mathematicians. A paper of more than 200 pages cannot be fully understood in just a few days. 】
[Of course, it would be better if Professor Xu could hold a report meeting. After all, such a big result is fully qualified. 】
[Finally, if I want to give an answer, from a personal perspective, I prefer that he has completed the phased achievement proof of the NS equation. 】
Many people follow Tao Zhexuan's Twitter. As soon as this tweet was posted, it was retweeted by countless people.
At the same time, another top mathematician, Professor Fefferman, who had previously collaborated with Xu Chuan on the NS equation, also publicly expressed his opinion that he was very optimistic about this paper.
As the opinions of two top experts were made public, the online mathematics forum once again fell into madness.
[God, is it possible that after Hodge’s conjecture, he has to solve another millennium problem? This is too crazy. 】
[Both Professor Tao and Professor Fefferman expressed their optimism about this paper, so there is a high probability that it will be successful. 】
[This is the NS equation! A super difficult problem that spans three entire centuries. 】
[It’s just a staged result, not the final solution. I still say the same thing, the NS equation is impossible to solve, and there is no solution to the singularity! Moreover, mathematicians often claimed to have solved the NS equation in the past, but what happened in the end? All ended in failure. 】
【Sichuan God is different! He is the first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner in history. It is impossible for such a top expert to publish his results if he is not sure. Moreover, Terence Teru and Fefferman are both in the field of partial differential equations. The top experts all agreed, which basically proves that this is a success! 】
[Haha, before the final result comes out, I don’t know whether it is correct or not. Do you believe in the mutual praise in business? Too young kid! 】
[No, I believe Professor Xu has completed the proof, let’s make a bet! 】
Jinling, Nanjing University, the campus is extremely lively.
The NS equation stage proof paper that Xu Chuan threw on Arxiv was passed back across the ocean. Not only students from the Department of Mathematics and Physics are discussing it, but many students from the Department of Engineering, Department of Astronomy and even the Department of Art are discussing it. Discussing.
After all, Xu Chuan is a professor at Nanjing University. As students of Nanjing University, how can they not be moved by witnessing such a miracle with their own eyes?
On the other side, in the office of the school leader, one meeting after another was being held continuously.
In the past few days, NTU has received requests from numerous mathematicians and mathematical institutions.
There is only one request, and that is to invite and hope that Professor Xu Chuanxu can hold a mathematics report meeting to give a detailed report on the staged proof results of the NS equation.
Of course, these requests are sent to Xu Chuan's email and contact information for more.
But the mathematical community knows very well that sending messages to this wayward boss is not of much use, and it was the same when he completed the proofs of various conjectures before.
If not willfully, who would put such an important proof paper on arxiv? If he wasn't willful, how could he refuse the one million meters of gold from the Clay Research Institute?
This is a full million meters of gold, which can be piled into boxes.
What's more, awarding awards for seven millennium problems is itself the highest honor.
Of course, this honor is now dubbed the ‘curse of money’ by many mathematicians in the mathematics community
Starting from Perelman and then to Xu Chuan, these two great scholars who proved the seven millennium problems have lost interest in money.
Nanjing Nature is very excited about these requests from the outside world. After all, this is the NS equation, one of the seven millennium problems.
Of course, Nanda did not insist on agreeing to these people's requests.
Regardless of the identity of his alma mater, now even Nanda as a whole has to be cautious when facing Xu Chuan.
The world's unique Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize top scholar, placed in any country, is directly accessible to heaven. This kind of person can change the ecology of a discipline with just one sentence.
But the attraction of holding a report meeting at NTU is undoubtedly quite great for school leaders.
Such a press conference is undoubtedly the best in the world that NTU has longed for.
Even though it is currently only a phased achievement that has not been completely completed and has not yet been verified and recognized by the mathematical community, it is still enough to attract the attention of mathematicians around the world.
Even physicists or engineering scholars will definitely be interested in this.
Because the NS equation studies not other things, but fluids!
If the analytical solution of the NS equation is known, then all fluid problems, such as aircraft turbulence, rocket silicon base, ship navigation resistance, automobile abundance, pipeline optimization, etc., can be solved in various engineering designs, as well as weather, environmental prediction, river and sea coastal disasters. Prevention and treatment will be greatly simplified.
Just like Einstein's theory of relativity paved the way for the theory of GPS.
Although it takes a long time to transform from theory to application, there is no doubt that it will continue to influence the next decades or even centuries!
PS: There will be another chapter tonight, please vote for me!
