Rule department scholar

There are famous physicists and Fields Medal winners who come to the university to give lectures to students, and they really have a lot of pride in Yanhua University.

Think about it.

A university often has world-renowned scholars to give lectures, the academic atmosphere will be different, and it will be able to attract more outstanding students.

the other side.

Zhao Yi sent Edward and Gao Yihua away, quickly locked the door tightly, and went to the kitchen to eat something casually, lying on the bed without wanting to get up.

tired!

Physically tired and mentally exhausted!

Thinking that Edward was still at Yanhua University and would definitely come over tomorrow, he felt the urge to go far away.

"The world is so big...I want to see it!"

Of course it's not good to do that.

Zhao Yi could only suppress his depression, and took time to rest at home, but in the afternoon, he still had to get up.

Someone else came.

Terence Tao.

Zhao Yi has nothing against Tao Zhexuan. They have finished talking about mathematical issues, including the expansion of digital compression technology. Tao Zhexuan's arrival is mainly to discuss with Zhao Yi, the issue of patent fees.

For example, what account is the patent fee paid to?

This is what Zhao Yi likes to talk about the most. He knows that the patent fee for digital compression technology has already reached more than 50 US dollars, and he feels better.

"But you need to pay taxes, and the tax rate is very heavy."

"Some royalties will be deferred, and..."

Tao Zhexuan talked a lot about patent fee income, because it is foreign income, which involves many issues, and he explained them in detail one by one.

Zhao Yi also understood a lot of content. The most important thing is that he has been able to get more than 15 US dollars, and there will be a lot of follow-up patent fees, which can even be said to be continuous.

A steady stream, most importantly.

According to Tao Zhexuan's explanation, he calculated carefully. Under normal circumstances, next year's patent fee will be distributed to him at about 20 US dollars. How much will be uncertain in the future, but it will definitely not be too much less.

The patent of digital compression technology is only a soft application technology, and the proportion of patent royalties to products is not large. Even if the application covers a large scale, because the proportion of patents is very small, there will be no amazing income.

However, 20 or [-] US dollars a year is actually not too little. In China, it is equivalent to lying down and earning a million annual salary.

After Tao Zhexuan was sent away, Zhao Yi happily turned on the computer and remembered the Goldbach conjecture project he had applied for.

Now that Goldbach's conjecture is completed, the project can naturally be submitted and completed. He directly submits the paper and completes the project.

Only then did he remember that there was still a mathematics project under his name, which was 'theoretical research on information compression technology'. Because the time limit mentioned by Liu Tongen was too long, he felt that it was not good to submit it too soon.

You should take the time to do it, right?

Calculating the time, it has probably been more than a month, and the completion of the project is not counted...

cough cough.

"who cares!"

"The fast completion of the project is also a contribution to the country!"

"It's time to finish it!"

"That's 280 million!" Zhao Yi thought happily.

What a bumper harvest today!

Learning currency, scientific research currency, plus a lot of money, or there is no old guy Edward... perfect!

Chapter 281 Received the Nobel Prize in Physics?

Early morning, hotel.

Edward Witten got up early, sat in front of the computer and sorted out documents and materials, and was busy for more than an hour.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The door was knocked.

Edward walked over and opened the door, frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Lars, why is it so late?"

"Sorry, Professor."

Lars Selberg was a little embarrassed, but he still complained, "I slept too late yesterday."

Edward nodded and said nothing.

Selberg went to bed late not because of playing, but because he was helping him sort out materials, including some string theory research materials, as well as some accompanying knowledge materials, and even course materials offered by Princeton University.

The master and apprentice were so busy that they didn't go to bed until after twelve o'clock, and it was only seven o'clock in the morning. Selberg was not lazy.

The day begins.

Edward was busy washing up.

When Selberg walked into the room, he saw the things on the table and knew that the teacher must have got up very early, so he frowned a little depressed.

When the two went to the restaurant for breakfast together, Seilberg couldn't help asking, "Professor, is it worth paying so much attention to? It's just an academic exchange. If he doesn't even know the basics, how can he help you?" ?”

"you are wrong."

Edward took a sip of milk from his cup, looked at Selberg, and explained after a while, "When you do in-depth research in a certain field and have results, you will know that many things are connected. Yes, but in some fields, even if you spend a lot of time, it may not be as good as other people's hard work for a few days, do you understand?"

"You mean talent?"

"Do not."

Edward shook his head and said, "It's not just talent, it's also related to whether you value it or not. I have obtained Fields, but it does not mean that my mathematical research ability is better than those mathematicians who have not obtained Fields. "

"Whether you win an award or not is often just a matter of luck."

"Because I just regard mathematics as a tool for studying physics, rather than specifically studying mathematics."

"The waveform diagram was shaped by him, and it is a very, perfect and amazing thing. Maybe we can learn more about the waveform diagram with the help of data, but we will never be able to match him in application."

"Even if he doesn't have the slightest understanding of string theory, his understanding of waveform diagrams will be of great help to me."

Edward explained seriously, and he also attached great importance to Selberg.

Selberg is very talented and willing to work hard to do research. He is his most proud student in the past ten years and may become a top physicist in the future.

Selberg seemed to understand, but nodded. In fact, he just felt that Edward was too important, and some work was meaningless, which was a waste of time.

During the exchange with Zhao Yi yesterday, Edward knew that Zhao Yi didn't know anything about string theory, so he and Selberg sorted out a lot of materials and made a lot of preparations, with the purpose of explaining the necessary knowledge to Zhao Yi.

Selberg felt a little sour in his heart.

He is Edward's student!

How...Edward paid so much attention to a guy who didn't understand string theory at all?Knowing that the other party doesn't understand string theory, and spending a lot of time sorting out the information, the purpose is to let the other party understand the necessary knowledge?

Selberg could only smile wryly.

……

It was only eight o'clock when breakfast was over, and Edward called Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi is sleeping.

He stayed at home alone, and if he could get up later, he simply slept a little longer. He didn't expect the phone to ring so early.

"All right!"

"I'm at home!"

"bring it on!"

Zhao Yi answered helplessly. He knew that Edward could not be avoided. Since he could not avoid it, he just greeted him head-on. He got up, washed up, ate a few mouthfuls of milk and bread, and waited for Edward's master and apprentice to come.

This time there is no one else.

Zhao Yi vacated the desk in the study, and chatted with Edward in the study. They talked about very professional string theory content.

Edward took out several pages of documents and began to explain them in a targeted manner.

The atmosphere in the study was a bit like a lecture, Edward continued to explain the materials, Zhao Yi listened very carefully, and occasionally took a pen to take notes.

The same is true for Selberg, but he remembers more than Zhao Yi.

One teacher, two students.

Yesterday, Selberg didn’t pay much attention to it. He just felt that Edward’s speech was very esoteric, and there were a lot of professional mathematical calculations mixed in. He just thought that Zhao Yi could keep up with the thinking because Zhao Yi was a top mathematician.

Now Selberg found a problem.

He can understand most of what Edward said, but there are also some esoteric and unfamiliar knowledge, probably Edward's research content, or the content in some papers.

Whenever there is new content, it is difficult for Seilberg to keep up, so he can only keep taking notes with a pen, and occasionally he can't help but remind Edward to speak slowly.

At this time, Selberg discovered that Zhao Yi was not unable to keep up at all.

Even at the beginning, Zhao Yi often asked some very basic questions, obviously because he did not understand the knowledge of related fields, but later he was able to discuss with Edward in the field of mathematical calculations, and even wrote a series of formulas to describe what Edward said Amendments to the content?

This is the top mathematician?

This is what Mr. Witten said, top-level domain knowledge is interoperable?

Selberg felt so incredible that he was too embarrassed to interrupt, saying that he couldn't understand some things.

They are also students, the gap is really big!

……

The exchange on the second day could not be said to convince Seilberg, but he understood "how high a mathematician can solve Goldbach's conjecture."

Those obscure formulas and proofs were completely understood by the other party after listening to them only once, and some of them could be corrected, which made Edward fall into thinking.

So Edward said, "Even if he doesn't understand string theory, it's important to communicate with him", and Selberg has fully understood.

At least in the field of mathematics, even the teacher seems to have a gap with the other party.

On the third and fourth days that followed, Selberg simply sat on the sidelines and became a silent audience.

One is that the content is so profound that it is completely incomprehensible.

He understood exactly what he was talking about. Edward was talking about the multi-dimensional space he was researching. Multi-dimensional space was derived from string theory. He tried to shape a formula to explain multi-dimensional space, but the things listed were completely incomprehensible. It seems to be abstract.

What exactly it is is up to the imagination.

The second is that Zhao Yi seems to have absorbed enough knowledge that he doesn't need to explain anything. He has been discussing with Edward constantly.

Now is the right mode of communication.

Edward didn't feel anything when he was in it, but Selberg was by the side all the time. The so-called "bystander is clear", what surprised him most was, "This guy actually understood everything the professor said in two or three days? Do you remember everything?"

"Even if you spend ten hours a day, it's only thirty hours at most now?"

"I have followed my teacher for many years, and I have been doing string theory research for a long time..."

Selberg felt that he had been hit. At the beginning, he thought that Zhao Yi was only strong in mathematics, probably due to long-term research and a little bit of luck...

Only now did I realize how naive I was.

If you do an IQ comparison, the opponent's IQ is about as high as Einstein's, and he is just an ordinary person.

What Selberg didn't know was that Zhao Yi didn't spend ten hours a day. Whenever Edward's master and apprentice left, he left string theory behind him, but he was able to understand so much in such a short period of time. Things can't all be attributed to IQ, understanding and memory ability.

It's about math.

Many of the things Edward explained involved mathematical calculations and columns, and it was enough for him to memorize those key things.

In addition, his memory and comprehension skills have indeed improved a lot.

Although it has not reached the level of photoremembering and understanding at a glance, Edward's explanations are also very detailed. As long as you understand and remember, you will make such a big improvement.

Now Zhao Yi is really interested in string theory, and he feels that he is almost convinced by Edward's theory.

Although the content of string theory is far from perfect, there seems to be no problem in explaining physical laws with string theory.

Of course.

A large part of it is still an inference that cannot be proven for the time being, and some of the content even logic exists only in imagination.

For example, columns on paper.

Edward wrote a column on paper, and claimed that it was related to the boundary of the multidimensional space of string theory. He hoped that Zhao Yi could use the waveform diagram to perfect, modify, evolve, or do something else. What he meant was the hope that he could use Waveform diagrams to refine marginal problems in high-dimensional spaces.
