Xueba starts with change

Chapter 506 I Can Wait For You (5000+)

Harold Hoofgot on the stage was still talking passionately.

The slide has also switched to the next one.

He didn't realize the problem Chen Zhou discovered at all.

He was looking forward to the honors that would come to him after the report meeting was over.

Chen Zhou looked at the content written on the A4 draft paper, and then looked at Harold Hoofgot who was enthusiastically talking about the proof process in the stands.

He sighed with regret: "It's a pity, the train of thought should be fine, but I'm too impatient..."

Shen Jing at the side heard Chen Zhou's voice, and quickly turned to look at him, but didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, he didn't understand.

What Harold Hoofgot said now, he has completely listened to the scriptures.

Not to mention the problems that Chen Zhou might have discovered.

Therefore, instead of asking more questions, it is better to be patient and see what Chen Zhou will do next.

Not only Shen Jing, many people sitting beside Chen Zhou also "accidentally" heard Chen Zhou's words.

Like Shen Jing, they silently waited for Chen Zhou's next move.

After all, the phrase "brother guesses the correct way to open it" is really too intriguing.

Although they can no longer understand the content of Harold Hoofgot's report.

And there is a high probability that they will not understand the content of Chen Zhou's subsequent report.

However, the content of the report meeting was not their first goal.

The final result is.

As time passed slowly, Harold Hoofgot on the stage finally cut the slide to the last page.

His lecture on the proof of Goldbach's conjecture is coming to an end.

Under the stage, Faltings and Deligne, who were sitting together, quietly put their heads together at this moment.

Deligne asked in a low voice: "Do you see what's wrong?"

Faltings glanced at Harold Hoofgot on the stage, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "His steps are the same as his report, very smooth, but I always feel that something is wrong ..."

Hearing this, Deligne also said: "I feel the same as you, but I didn't find anything obviously wrong."

Faltings was silent for a while, and then said: "We will wait for the questioning session, let's see if Langlands and the others find out. We will do our best to answer all our doubts."

Deligne nodded.

The heads of the two that were put together also parted.

As if they knew what Faltings and Deligne were thinking, when the two subconsciously looked over, Langlands and Wiles happened to look over too.

Several bigwigs in the mathematics world looked at each other and smiled.

"...Therefore, combined with the formula (18-21) obtained by the distribution deconstruction method, we can get the final result as..."

"That is to say, in general form, any integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of three prime numbers, that is, Goldbach's conjecture is true!"

Harold Hoofgot on the stage quickly finished the content on the last slide.

This is also the result of this impassioned and exciting proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

Harold Hoofgot, who had finished speaking the last sentence, also looked a little rosy due to excitement.

He stared at the people in the audience with burning eyes.

Everyone in the audience also gave warm applause at the right time.

Including Chen Zhou, including Faltings and other mathematicians, including no less than [-] mathematicians present, all gave Harold Hoofgot applause.

Regardless of the result, Harold Hoofgot should be applauded for this proof alone.

Harold Hoofgot enjoyed the applause from the audience.

The originally impetuous heart finally got a little satisfaction.

After enjoying the applause, Harold Hoofgot looked slightly complacent.

From these warm applause, he has already felt the recognition of the mathematics community and the recognition of people in the world.

Therefore, even though the next step is the most important, it is also the most important questioning session.

He also felt that there would be no major problems, and it was impossible for any major flaws to be found.

When the applause disappeared, Harold Hoofgot said into the microphone: "Thank you for coming to this lecture today, and also witnessing the final answer of Brother Guess with me. Next, we will enter this report meeting question section."

After Harold Hoofgot finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the venue.

After the silence, there were questions one after another.

Many colleagues stood up and began to throw questions that they did not understand to Harold Hoofgot.

As if he had expected this for a long time, Harold Hoofgot smiled and said softly: "Everyone, don't worry, I believe we all have enough time to take this important conjecture seriously."

When he said this, Harold Hoofgot glanced at Chen Zhou intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Zhou also keenly caught this signal.

He couldn't help grinning, thinking to himself: "Maybe you think that I have to give me enough time before I can barely find a problem that makes you a little bit embarrassed, but you don't know that the major flaws in your thesis have already been exposed in my paper. In front of..."

After Harold Hoofgot looked away, he began to answer questions from his colleagues one by one.

Chen Zhou was not in a hurry to throw out the problems he found.

Instead, he listened carefully to the questions of his peers and to the answers of Harold Hoofgott.

Chen Zhou also wanted to see if anyone could find that fatal flaw in the paper.

Speaking of which, today's report meeting is no less lively than the report meeting held at SLAC when Chen Zhou discovered the rubber ball earlier.

Even more than that.

But this is also understandable, after all, Goldbach's conjecture has plagued the world for nearly 300 years, exhausting the energy of many human geniuses.

It is one of the three major mathematical problems in modern times in the world.

It is also the only unsolved problem.

Its popularity is far from that of the discovery of gumballs, which can be compared.

At the same time, this lively scene also shows from the side how much people pay attention to this matter.

As the questioning session progressed, the time gradually reached 2 pm.

The report meeting started at 9:4 a.m., and it took Harold Hoofgott nearly [-] hours to report on the content of his thesis.

To be honest, the time spent by Harold Hoofgot is not too long, regardless of the time of the questioning session.

After all, this is a report on Goldbach's conjecture, not an ordinary mathematics lecture.

You know, Wiles's lectures at Cambridge University were a series of reports.

Because Wiles' argument is lengthy and technical.

He didn't come to the end until 20 minutes into the third speech.

In contrast, the time spent by Harold Hoofgot can be said to be very short.

It can also be seen from this how well Harold Hoofgot prepared for this report.

But in any case, after the 4-hour speech, the questioning session of the report always starts around 1 pm.

In other words, this report will completely cover the lunch time.

Originally, the organizer planned to arrange the questioning session directly in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, one is that the time spent by Harold Hoofgot exceeded expectations.

Second, the enthusiasm of the people at the scene, the enthusiasm of colleagues in the mathematics field, completely dispelled the hunger.

Nobody was in the mood for lunch.

Therefore, the Q&A session started directly after the report meeting.

But this time, it's already 2 o'clock, if you don't arrange lunch, then there is really only dinner.

So the organizer took the initiative to stand up and temporarily stopped the questioning session.

Although many people still said that they could have a meal at night, the organizer still insisted on taking an hour's break and continuing at 3 o'clock.

As such, the Q&A session was temporarily postponed.

It was not the first time Chen Zhou encountered this situation, but he was not surprised.

After all, the last report meeting at SLAC was similar to this.

However, that time he was the main character.

This time, he didn't make an appearance yet.

An hour passed quickly.

It's only enough to eat a meal, take a little rest and adjust.

Some people even did not leave the venue at all, and took a short break directly in the venue, waiting for the start of the questioning session at 3 o'clock.

When Chen Zhou returned to the venue again, Harold Hoofgot also happened to come to the venue.

The two looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

Chen Zhou took the initiative to step forward and praised: "Professor Harold Hoofgot, a wonderful lecture."

In all fairness, regardless of that major flaw, the report itself is indeed a wonderful lecture.

What Chen Zhou praised was indeed the report meeting itself.

It's just that Harold Hoofgot got it wrong, he didn't hide his inner joy too much, and said directly: "Dr. Chen Zhou, thank you for your compliment, if you can solve brother If Debach guessed, I wouldn't have had the chance to stand here."

Chen Zhou was noncommittal, just smiled slightly, and said softly: "Any proof of a mathematical conjecture must go through extremely careful inspection and verification before it can be accepted. It doesn't matter whether it's your proof or mine, it's the same."

Harold Hoofgot smiled softly: "I believe my proof can withstand any inspection and verification, even the test."

As he said that, Harold Hoofgot seemed to think of what Chen Zhou said, and added, "I also think that my proof is the correct way to open Goldbach's conjecture."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then, I wish you a smooth end to the afternoon questioning session."

Harold Hoofgot: "I'm sure it will."

After a brief conversation between the two, Chen Zhou went straight back to where he was sitting.

And the scene where he talked with Harold Hoofgot was also witnessed by everyone present.

Although there was no tense posture, many people didn't even hear what the two said.

But this doesn't affect everyone's brains in the slightest.

They felt that there must have been a gunpowder-filled conversation between Chen Zhou and Harold Hoofgot.

And the hottest point of this conversation will most likely be in the question session in the afternoon.

Everyone guessed that in the question session in the afternoon, there would be a wonderful question-and-answer battle between Chen Zhou and Harold Hoofgot.

It also depends on whether Harold Hoofgot can hold Chen Zhou.

Actually, Chen Zhou really didn't think that much.

The reason why he took the initiative to go forward was just to give Harold Hoofgot a small reminder.

Make him understand that there are flaws in his thesis.

It's not that I can't get off stage during the question session in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, the person who proved the weak Goldbach's conjecture was so confident to the point of arrogance.

To be honest, Chen Zhou doesn't like such overconfident people.

It's okay to be confident, but don't turn into arrogance.

Because, no matter at any time, only by maintaining enough calmness and a humble attitude can you realize your own problems.

To change yourself and become stronger.

But arrogance can ruin that.

Harold Hoofgot on the stage obviously didn't realize the purpose of Chen Zhou's coming to find him. All he was thinking at the moment was what questions Chen Zhou might ask and how he should answer them.

At 3:[-] p.m., the Q&A session continued.

After everyone subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhou, the venue resumed the excitement of asking questions in the morning.

My colleagues in mathematics, continue to ask Harold Hoofgot your questions.

However, many people are wondering, what exactly is Chen Zhou waiting for?
Doesn't it mean that his own thesis is the correct way to open Goldbach's conjecture?
That being the case, then quickly point out the mistakes of others ah?
And before the Q&A session started in the afternoon, weren't you two very angry?

What are you waiting for?
Even Faltins, Deligne, Tao Zhexuan, Qiu Chengtong and others are also a little strange.

They also began to wonder if Chen Zhou really found the flaw in Harold Hoofgot's thesis?
Anyway, they didn't find any fatal flaws in the paper.

The problems they find can also be repaired with a high probability.

As time passed, Faltings and Deligne also got up one after another and began to ask the questions they found.

On Harold Hoofgot's side, compared with the quick question and answer at the beginning, it gradually slowed down.

As the questions of these bigwigs came over, the time he thought about gradually became longer.

But fortunately, he was not at a loss for these questions.

Rather, it has a clear solution.

As long as this is the case, it means that he can solve the questions they ask.

It also means that the paper itself has no major fatal flaws.

Chen Zhou has been listening and thinking, and is not in a hurry to ask his questions.

Anyway, the dinner time is 8:7 pm, and the questioning session will continue until [-]:[-] pm.

He had some time, and Harold Hoofgot had some time.

However, it is slightly disappointing that it took so long to ask questions.

No one actually found that major flaw in the paper.

Even Faltings, Deligne and others found many other problems.

However, this most important flaw, which is enough to subvert the entire paper, has never been mentioned.

After Tao Zhexuan asked a question again, Chen Zhou raised his hand and looked at the time.

almost.

When Harold Hoofgot finished answering Terence Tao's questions, it was time for him to ask his own.

There are still nearly 40 minutes before the end of the questioning session.

After Harold Hoofgot answered Terence Tao's questions.

Chen Zhou stood up slowly.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Zhou.

The moment they were looking forward to, after waiting for so long, finally happened.

One of the protagonists of this report is finally about to make a move.

Faltings and Deligne also looked at each other at this time, and both of them saw a faint expectation from each other's eyes.

Tao Zhexuan immediately moved to Zhang Yitang's side and whispered, "He's here, he's finally here!"

Yan University's Dean Sun, Wu Xiping, Zhang Zhongyuan, etc., all waited, looking at Chen Zhou with anticipation in their eyes.

At this time, there were even many people who silently took out their mobile phones and quietly turned off the flash.

Prepare to record this historic moment.

Chen Zhou naturally did not observe the expressions of the people around him, he kept looking at Harold Hoofgot on the stage.

Harold Hoofgot has also been watching Chen Zhou.

Harold Hoofgot, who had been waiting for such a long time, was vaguely excited when he looked at Chen Zhou's eyes.

It's like saying, you're finally here!
As for Chen Zhou's expression, there was no excitement, it was very flat.

He said slowly: "I only have one question, which is about the distribution deconstruction method used in the paper..."

Hearing Chen Zhou's voice, everyone was taken aback.

Including Harold Hoofgot on stage.

Just one question?
There is only one question, and you publicly declare that your proof is "the correct way to open it"?
Just one question, enough to prove the opponent's thesis wrong?

Could it be that Chen Zhou discovered the most fatal flaw in the thesis?
Everyone is thinking about this question in their hearts, what is it like.

Harold Hoofgot frowned slightly after being dazed. He didn't believe that Chen Zhou could collapse his thesis with just one question.

Moreover, the distribution deconstruction method Chen Zhou mentioned, he also has great confidence, and there will be no major flaws.

Even if it is a mathematical tool invented by Chen Zhou.

Ignoring the shocked expressions of the people around him, Chen Zhou continued: "In the logical structure of the distribution deconstruction method, the bottom-level logic is the normal distribution and probability theory, followed by the integrated sieve method and round method ..."

Chen Zhou explained the birth of the distribution deconstruction method in detail, and also described the mathematical ideas in it as clearly as possible in words.

Following Chen Zhou's narration, Harold Hoofgot frowned even tighter.

He didn't understand what Chen Zhou wanted to do, and he didn't realize the problem.

However, some people have gradually understood what Chen Zhou wanted to express.

The flaw in the thesis was gradually exposed clearly.

"...Whether the formula (18-21) obtained by the distribution deconstruction method or the initial formula (9-16) violates the logical structure of the distribution deconstruction method itself, the distribution deconstruction method you use has logic A fatal flaw in the structure!"

Although Chen Zhou's voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.

Although some people were still confused, they already knew the result from the expressions on the faces of those big shots.

Harold Hoofgot on the stage was pale at the moment.

Chen Zhou glanced at Harold Hoofgot, and said softly: "You can try to repair it first, and I can wait for you."

After speaking, Chen Zhou sat down.

quietly waiting...
