Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 517 Faltings’ recommendation

"Mr. Faltings, we haven't seen you for many years. We see that you are in good spirits, so we are relieved!" Prince brought several leaders of the Max Planck Society to visit Faltings.

"Old man, old man~" Faltings waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly: "Now I am a man half buried in the earth. I am waiting for God's call every day. If possible, I hope I can Now go see God and hear God’s voice!”

Faltings, who was born in 1954, is just 70 years old this year, and he will celebrate his 70th birthday in a few months.

In 1983, at the age of 29, Faltings published his proof of Model's conjecture in Germany, which caused a sensation and directly won the Danny Heinemann Prize for Mathematical Physics that year. He used algebraic geometry methods to prove the Model's conjecture in number theory, which earned him the Fields Medal in 1986, when he was 32 years old. In 1996, he won the Deutsche Leibniz Prize, which is the highest award for scientific research in Germany. Each winner can receive a scientific research bonus of 2.5 million euros, which is equivalent to China’s highest technology award. When he received this award, Falting Si is only 42 years old!

It can be imagined that Faltings' status in Germany is quite transcendent. He has won almost all the awards he can win!

"Mr. Faltings, we at the Max Planck Institute are currently conducting the 'Helixite 7-X' experiment, but the confinement of high-temperature plasma has become a problem that troubles us. According to our research, Professor Qin from China proved that the N-S equation paper is Solving the constraints of high-temperature plasma is of great help." Prince knew Faltings' strange temper, so he did not go around it, but said straight to the point: "Professor Qin is now the leader of China's controllable nuclear fusion. Under his leadership, China has made rapid progress in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, which has a lot to do with Professor Qin's attainments in turbulence phenomena!"

"We at the Max Planck Club hope that Faltings can help us solve this problem!" Prince said.

Faltins was silent for a moment.

N-S has just established the relationship between the change rate of the particle momentum of the fluid and the change of pressure acting inside the liquid, as well as the dissipative viscous force and gravity. These viscous forces arise from molecular interactions and tell how viscous a liquid is. It is precisely because of this that the N-S equation describes the dynamic balance of forces acting on any given area of ​​the liquid, which is of great significance in fluid mechanics.

This equation is one of the most useful set of equations and they describe the physical processes underlying a large number of phenomena of academic and economic use. They can be used to model weather, ocean currents, water flow in pipes, the movement of stars in galaxies, airflow around airfoils. They can also be used in the design of aircraft and vehicles, the study of blood circulation, the design of power plants, the analysis of pollution effects, and much more!

"I think I'm sorry. Maybe I could have analyzed it a few years ago, but as you know, as people get older, their thinking becomes slower. To tell you frankly, I have read Qin's paper, but unfortunately now, I haven't been able to fully study it!" Faltings was silent for a long time before saying: "Although it doesn't seem like admitting it, I am really old, with a bad body and slow thinking, so I just want to help you, and I can't help you. Can't do it."

"But I recommend a person to you, Schulz. He is a visiting scholar at Shuimu University in China. If there is any mathematician in Germany who can help you, then maybe it is Schulz!" Although he failed. Helping the Max Planck Association, but as a German, Faltings still did his part and recommended Schulz to Prince.

Schultz, who was born in 1987, is only 37 years old now. There is no doubt that he is in the golden period of his life. Whether it is the accumulation of knowledge or thinking, he is just right.

When Prince and others heard that Faltings recommended Schultz, they couldn't help but feel upset. How could they have forgotten this German mathematical genius!

You must know that Schulz won the Ramanujan Award in 2013 and the Cray Research Award in 2014. In 2016, at the age of 29, Schulz even won the Deutsche Leib Prize for his seemingly complete space theory. Nitz Prize and the European Mathematical Society Prize, becoming the only winner under the age of 30 among the 348 winners of the Leibniz Prize since its inception. This record, even after nearly ten years, still no one can achieve break in.

After Schulz won the Fields Medal, his prestige reached its peak!

If it weren't for this world, there would be a great god in mathematics who would shine so brightly that he would overwhelm the entire mathematics community. He would be so dazzling that other mathematicians would look eclipsed. Then Schulz is definitely the most dazzling mathematical genius, and Europe will definitely not be stingy and will provide Schulz with Grothendieck's successor.

As Faltings said, if there is anyone in Germany who can help the Max Planck Society, even if it is only Schulz.

"As far as I know, Schultz left Shuimu University and returned to Germany three days ago. As you know, China is celebrating their New Year!" Faltings said.

Prince and others bid farewell to Faltings. For them, although they don’t know where Schulz’s home is and where he is, as long as it is in Germany and within the EU, then It won't take them long to find Schultz.

After all, this is their territory!

Sure enough, an hour later, they arrived at Schultz's home.

Unlike Faltings, who lives in a slightly dilapidated old house, Schulz's home is a modern villa with a large area of ​​almost a thousand square meters. It is surrounded by white railings and has a separate Garden, and the gate of the yard is equipped with a camera. The gate does not need to be opened by anyone, but can be controlled intelligently.

The 37-year-old Schultz is no longer the handsome young man he once was, but has become a fat uncle with a gray beard. He wears glasses and smiles, but his eyes flash with wise eyes from time to time.

"N-S equation?" Schultz frowned slightly when he heard Prince and others' intention.

The topic he is currently researching is about the unification of mathematics. He thinks about spending his whole life to complete the great cause of the unification of mathematics. This is the only thing Schulz can think of in this era, being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yuanqing, the god of mathematics. way.

As a result, Prince and others now approached him, hoping that he could help the Max Planck Society solve the difficulties encountered by the 'Spiral Stone 7-X'.

From the perspective of personal interests, Schultz is unwilling, because he is not in this field. If he wants to conduct cross-field research, thoroughly study a paper, and then apply it to practical solutions, it will take at least 5 years. After all, He is a human now, not a god! Not everyone can look at many fields and disciplines like Qin Yuanqing.

If he agrees, then he will lose the most precious few years, and these few years can often determine whether he can finally complete the great cause of the unification of mathematics.

After all, mathematicians, after the age of 40, their thinking will begin to gradually deteriorate, and their bodies will gradually decline!

But as a German, everyone has a special feeling for the Max Planck Society. Just like every Chinese person, they have a unique feeling for the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In particular, Schultz came into contact with Chinese civilization during his several years at Shuimu University, and he himself was also affected. He refused the request of Prince and others, and he really couldn't say it out loud.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Isn't there a saying in China that personal interests are subordinate to national interests and collective interests! I am sacrificing my small self to fulfill the greater self!" Schultz made up his mind.

"Prince, you must be mentally prepared. Even if I agree, it will take at least five years to study Professor Tou Qin's thesis and use it in actual projects! If you can't wait, then I don't think I can join. Use it!" Schultz said, but he vaccinated Prince and others in advance.

"Does it take so long? If other mathematicians help you, can you speed up the time?" Prince frowned slightly, obviously finding it difficult to accept this time.

"This kind of research cannot be solved by relying on more people. If it could be solved by more people, the United States would have solved it long ago, and you wouldn't wait until now, would you?" Schultz said with some displeasure: "You guys You know, top mathematical problems require genius mathematicians, and ordinary mathematicians can’t help at all!”

Prince quickly shut up. Although he is a big figure in theoretical physics and the head of the Max Planck Society, to be honest, his academic status is not necessarily as high as Schulz. The status of a mathematician is inherently transcendent.

And now they are asking for help from others, not others asking for help from them. If they offend Schulz and he refuses directly, then it will be useless for them to regret it.

As Schulz agreed to join the Max Planck Society and help the Max Planck Society solve related mathematical problems, Shuimu University also received an email from Schulz. In the email, Schulz expressed his gratitude to Shuimu University and said that he was a student at Shuimu University. He spent four unforgettable years and was fascinated by the academic atmosphere of Shuimu.

Schultz’s email quickly received a reply from Shuimu University. In the email, Shuimu University praised Schultz as a knowledgeable mathematician whose mathematical attainments are admirable and whose pursuit of academics is admirable. Amazingly, the door of Shuimu University is always open to him, and Schultz is welcome to come to Shuimu University at any time.

With the latest world university rankings coming out, Mizuki University has officially entered the top five, ranking third, pushing Stanford University, a world-famous university, to fourth place. The only one ahead of Mizuki is Massachusetts. Polytechnic and Oxford University.

According to some people, if Oxford University was not the pride of Britain, and the list was made by the British, without looking at the monks and Buddhas, Oxford University would not even be ranked among the top five in the world.

However, as the foundation of Shuimu University continues to grow, and its strength continues to grow, the temperament of a strong person becomes more and more intense, full of tolerance!
