From top stream to scholar

"In other words, one of the world's top mathematicians. One of the most talented mathematicians." Jaffe said with a smile, "Yu won the Fields Medal at the age of 17, and he is the youngest winner of this award. Fei The Woltz Medal is awarded every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians. It is the most important award, and it is also the most affirmative award that mathematicians have contributed to the world in the past four years."

"Yu won the Fields Medal for his bsd conjecture. I think this is the luck of the Fields Medal. Because in another four years, at the 14 International Congress of Mathematicians, Yu is already the top mathematician in the world. No, He is already the world's number one mathematician. In the entire history of mathematics, Yu's name is impossible to bypass." Jia Fei smiled and talked, as if he was bragging with Yu Wanzhou again.

"I am very happy to have been able to work with Yu for so long. Yu is indeed different from everyone else. I think Professor Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University feels the same way."

Jaffe talked about Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University. Maybe many people don’t know Kyoto University or Shinichi Mochizuki.But their name sounds like the name of a neon person, no matter how you think about it, it should be a neon person.However, what did the Princeton University professor mean by suddenly mentioning Mochizuki Shinichi?Everyone doesn't quite understand.

"Yu once visited Kyoto University." When talking about this, Professor Jaffe said with a smile, "Professor Shinichi Mochizuki solved the problem of abc conjecture. I heard that the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel. Speaking of Reita Uno, Mochizuki Shinichi and Yu closed the door and quarreled, and finally Mochizuki Shinichi left in a huff."

Although the academic forum had already started, no one stopped Professor Jaffe.Everyone wants to hear gossip in the academic world. Can they not listen to such gossip?Jia Fei seemed very happy to meet Lin Wei and Yu Wanzhou again, and was very happy to talk about some things that are well known in the academic world, but many people don't know, and introduce them into academic discussions as a topic.

"Later, everyone found out that Yu announced that he had solved the abc conjecture, and criticized Shinichi Mochizuki for not solving the abc conjecture on his personal blog. Finally, after IU's calculations, he also announced that Yu had solved the abc conjecture." Jia Fei shrugged. Shrugged, "Yu is a very serious person."

"It seems that everyone likes to listen to Yu's gossip?" Professor Jaffe said with a smile, "Then let me tell you another interesting thing."

Yu Wanzhou sat next to her and did not stop Professor Jaffe.Although he personally finds it embarrassing, but seeing everyone's interest, don't stop it and spoil everyone's mood.

"You may have heard a lot about Professor Weiteng and Yu." When he said this, Professor Jaffe sketched a smile, "The academic debate between Yu and Weiteng, if anyone here has studied superstring theory You should know everything about it. Yu was not optimistic about Professor Witten's theory from the very beginning, and wanted to try to use Einstein's grand unified theory to make the ultimate physical theory. Of course, it is not yet possible to say whether Yu or Which side wins is Weiteng. Neither Professor Weiteng nor Yu has yet been able to come up with a real ultimate physical theory. However, Yu has already taken a big step in the ultimate physical theory-the unification of electromagnetism and gravitation theory, there is only one unified theory of strong electricity, then we will see the birth of the ultimate physical theory.”

"But we still don't know how long it will take to witness the ultimate physical theory. It may be next year or the next year, or it may take hundreds or thousands of years. No one will know, this is Yu and Wei. One of Professor Teng's most famous events is known as the origin of a century of academic disputes."

"I remember that at that time, Yu was still a graduate student studying at Princeton University. I also went to Huaguo to persuade Yu many times, and also sent him many emails, asking him to go to Princeton University for further studies."

"Finally Yu came to Princeton University, but the most interesting thing about him and Professor Witten was not when Yu was studying for a direct Ph. During string theory, the two threw their medals at each other angrily because they had different ideas. Not only me, but also Lin was there that day. Professor Langlands, Professor Deligne, etc. Youqi, Ryota Uno, Ms. Bonnie, etc."

"I swear, this is the most shocking academic debate I've ever seen in my life, and they're throwing Fields medals in their faces. It's true...that's a Fields medal, and others Medals and so on, they all throw each other at each other. This is the most violent argument I have seen between the two of them. Since then, I remember that Yu has been studying superstring theory and has not had any disputes with Mr. Witten Just this year, Yu made a unified theory of electromagnetism and gravitation. This is beyond my imagination. I think it will be at least ten years or even longer before Yu can make a unified superstring theory. Theory. It seems that we have all underestimated Yu's talent other than mathematics." Jia Fei said with a smile, "When that happened, many people were present to testify. Am I right, Lin?"

Lin Wei had an embarrassing smile on his face, it was true.But it's really funny to say it openly, how should I put it - I think it's better not to talk about this kind of thing.But Professor Jaffe has already said it, so he can only admit it.

But Yu Wanzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with admitting it. This was something he had done, and it was because of Professor Weiteng that he raised his eyebrows first.Yu Wanzhou took all the awards to Princeton after returning home, and then started to exchange medals with Professor Wei Teng.

This is an interesting thing in academia, and it is not a shameful thing.

This kind of quarrel is quite interesting, but I don't know how other people will understand it.

When Jaffe said it, he was laughing, and the others were laughing too.Yu Wanzhou smiled lightly, but did not speak.Jiang Yi listened with relish below, he really didn't expect Xiaozhou to do such a thing.It sounds a little funny, a little childish.But to be honest, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Really?" The host looked at Yu Wanzhou as if he wanted to verify with Yu Wanzhou whether this matter was true.

Yu Wanzhou nodded lightly and said, "There is indeed such a thing."

"Then, Professor Yu Wanzhou, may I ask why you and your professor did this?"

"Maybe it's because the professor and I don't agree with each other." Yu Wanzhou paused when he said this, "Even now, the professor and I still don't agree with anyone."

"I'm afraid the professor and I are also dissatisfied with each other now." When he said this, Yu Wanzhou smiled.

The host also said with a smile, "Then why did Professor Yu choose Professor Wei Teng as his doctoral supervisor?"

"Probably because our ideas are wrong, that's why we chose Professor Weiteng." Yu Wanzhou paused, "This is the fun, isn't it? Otherwise, everyone would not be able to hear me and Professor Weiteng now. fun, isn't it?"

Everyone smiled slightly, and Yu Wanzhou said with a straight look, "Then, can we enter the main body now? As I said, the difference between me and Professor Wei Teng is on superstring theory. About superstring theory I won’t go into details about the basics, I can only say that if you don’t understand this part, you can go home and look up relevant information.”

"What I want to talk about now is the problems of mathematics and controllable nuclear fusion and quantum computers." Yu Wanzhou paused, "I believe everyone must have heard of this matter more or less. But the specific situation, I believe that people who are not engaged in or learning this field of knowledge, do not have a special understanding..."

Yu Wanzhou began to eloquently explain mathematics, theoretical physics, quantum computers, and controllable nuclear fusion.The entire academic forum began to become heavy—it can’t be said to be heavy, probably because many people’s eyes became heavy—it was impossible to open them at all.God knows what all the nouns that Yu Wanzhou uttered are?

And those calculations, they don't understand at all.Most of the people were already asleep, and there was a group of people who tried to listen, but they really couldn't understand anything.What Yu Wanzhou said was too esoteric, she didn't talk about theoretical and basic knowledge at all, she just opened her mouth to calculate formulas, and non-professionals couldn't understand them at all.

"So in summary, I think whether it is a tokamak or a stellarator, it is theoretically possible to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology. But in fact, we all know that the ignition plan has failed." Yu Wanzhou booth Kaishou said, "In addition, controlled nuclear fusion is very expensive, and its cost and output cannot be directly proportional. At this stage, no one can say with confidence that they will be able to make controlled nuclear fusion." .”

"Some people often joke that we humans are still 50 years away from the birth of controlled nuclear fusion. It has been 50 years, but controlled nuclear fusion has been failing. Even the iter organization, as well as Huaguo and the United States There's no way to do truly controlled fusion."

"Then Professor Yu, do you think humans can really create controllable nuclear fusion technology and quantum computers?"

"Why not?" Yu Wanzhou asked rhetorically, "But I think human beings are still far away from these two things, and we still have a long way to go."

"I see." The host said with a smile, "Thank you, Professor Yu, for your explanation. Professor Lin, Professor Jia Fei, do you have anything else to add?"

Not to mention, the place below is really horrible, and most of the people are already asleep.Even Jiang Yi just held on and cheered up to do security work.It was too hypnotic, the people above talked about academic things, but the people below didn't understand at all.

When the host looked down, he found that a large group of people had already slept.
