I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 786 He and she have made great contributions to human beings' understanding of the material origin of the world!
When Faltings called, Qin Ke was watching a movie with Ning Qingyun at home, he motioned Ning Qingjun to continue watching, and he went to the balcony and replied: "Yes, we mainly use lime tsunami Calculated by the storm current cycle algorithm, new medicine in old bottles, it is not a great achievement, just thinking about whether to invest in "New Advances in Mathematics"..."

Faltings interrupted in a tone of hatred: "This is the 'Yang-Mills equation'! The seven major mathematical problems of the millennium! Even if you use your original lime tsunami storm flow cycle algorithm to solve it , is still a major achievement that can shake the entire international mathematics community! Please continue to send it to our "Annual of Mathematics"!"

"But this year we have sent more papers to the "Annual Journal of Mathematics"..."

"Not many, not many, just a few papers are nothing! Your paper on the general solution of NS equations was finally published in the "Acta Mathematica Sinica". It was snatched away, and then Mr. Oliver's voice came from over there:

"Academician Qin Ke, I'm Oliver. I heard that you have solved the general solution problem of the 'Yang-Mills equation'? I suggest that it is better to publish it in our "Acta Mathematics". Although the general solution problem is only a mathematical problem, the 'Yang-Mills equation' The Mills equation itself, like the NS equation, has a pivotal role and influence on the physics world. Your paper published in the "Acta Mathematica" will undoubtedly increase your chips in the competition for the Nobel Prize in Physics."

In the last sentence, old Mr. Oliver lowered his voice very low.

As the editor-in-chief of "Acta Mathematica" and an academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Mr. Oliver's words are actually not in compliance. After all, he is also eligible to participate in the voting for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Such a reminder has Suspected of "selfishness".

But he really cares about and recognizes the academic achievements of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. In addition, he is in a place like Xia Guo where "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away", and he uses Faltings' mobile phone, so he is a bit "breaking the rules." "Say such a hint.

Although his last sentence was very soft, Faltings, Professor Tao and Professor Linden-Strauss next to him heard it.

The three looked at each other, Faltings spread his hands helplessly, and said to Oliver: "You won."

He said to the other end of the phone: "Academician Qin, your paper should be submitted to the Journal of Mathematics."

Obviously, in the face of the academic future of "Mathematics Annals" and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, Mr. Faltings chose the latter.

Qin Ke didn't expect this. He only thought of it after hearing what Oliver and Faltings said. Although he thought that it would not be difficult to win the Nobel Prize in Physics with the results of solving the mystery of the NS equation, but the two Qin Ke was very touched that the old man thought of him and Ning Qingyun so much.

"Thank you Mr. Oliver and Mr. Faltings. We will submit our paper to the Journal of Mathematics."

Faltings added another sentence: "You are welcome, if you have any papers on pure mathematics this year, such as the Hodge conjecture that you have said before, you can give priority to our "Annual Journal of Mathematics", I will will be very satisfying."

Professor Tao said with a smile: "Academician Qin, I don't care where you submit your paper. I just want to see the paper as soon as possible. Although I haven't studied the 'Yang-Mills Equation' in depth, I appreciate your youth. I have a good understanding of the tsunami storm flow cycle algorithm, and I am curious how you solve the 'asymptotically free' problem!"

"No problem, after we finish the submission, we will upload it to arXiv as soon as possible, and wait for us for a few minutes."

……

A few minutes later, a paper titled "Finding the General Solution of the "Yang-Mills Equation" Using the Quadratic-optimized Lime Tsunami Storm Flow Algorithm" was quietly uploaded to arXiv, and then posted on the arXiv webmaster's full page. During the website announcement and pinning, it was quickly converted into a radio signal, and spread to every corner of the world at the speed of light, stirring up countless waves again!
Among the popularity of the Seven Millennium Problems, "Yang-Mills' existence and quality gap" should be ranked relatively low, because it sounds "hard to remember" and difficult to understand, even worse than " Riemann's conjecture" is much more difficult to understand. At least the description of "Riemann's conjecture" is "a conjecture about the zero point distribution of Riemann's ζ function ζ(s). Most people can understand it even if they don't understand it. Oh, this is a conjecture related to the distribution of prime numbers.

But "Yang-Mills' existence and quality gap" involves too many theories, parity non-conservation, Yang-Mills theory, Yang-Mills equation, what the hell are these?What is the existence and quality gap?
I believe that the vast majority of ordinary people cannot understand, understand or be interested in it.

Even if you are in the academic circle, as long as you don't mix in the mathematics circle or the physics circle, you will probably only hear the name of this conjecture and don't know what it means.

But for the world of mathematics, especially the world of physics, the significance of the "Yang-Mills equation" is by no means lower than that of the "NS equation"!
The ultimate goal of physics is consistent with the ultimate goal of mathematics, that is - "Great Unification"!
Physicists have been studying the laws behind various natural phenomena since the birth of "physics", and have summed up a bunch of laws about mechanics, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity, etc. Today, such The number of laws and theorems has long been so numerous that people who study physics will be a little dizzy, and the professional subdivisions are becoming more and more detailed. Mechanics alone has more than a hundred subdivisions.As for the cutting-edge quantum mechanics, its subdivision directions are even more numerous.

Many people can't help but think when they have a headache, how good it would be if they could use a set of the most basic theories to describe all known laws, theorems, and laws?

This is the original intention and ultimate dream of physicists chasing grand unification.

Math is similar.

Throughout the history of the development of the disciplines of physics and mathematics, it is also a history of "the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be combined" (a certain Three Kingdoms: ??? (black question mark face)).

In the history of physics, the recognized masters are almost all masters who left their names on the "Great Unification", such as the rumored "one cow, two loves and three wheat".

Newton introduced mathematics into the realm of natural science with his "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", and conquered all the forces in the sky and under the earth at one stroke; Maxwell unified electricity, magnetism, and light in one fell swoop with his equations; The theories of the two great gods attribute the forces behind all known natural phenomena to gravity and electromagnetism.

And when Einstein was born, he combined the electromagnetic force with the special theory of relativity, and digested the gravitational force with the general theory of relativity, and took a brilliant step in the principle of the unification of physics.The only pity is that Einstein also failed to fully unify the special theory of relativity with the general theory of relativity, so as to realize the seamless integration of gravity and electromagnetic force, and explain all physical phenomena with a set of theories.

Later, with the advancement of science and technology, physicists suddenly discovered that in addition to gravity and electromagnetic force, there are actually strong force (strong interaction force) and weak force (weak interaction force). , strong, weak" situation of the four countries stand together!
This is very troublesome. Obviously, everyone thought that as long as Einstein's unfinished great cause can be completed, the unification of physics can be achieved. Who knows that the two obstacles of "strong force" and "weak force" have been killed?
Physicists had to start working on the study of the strong and weak forces, but there were no major achievements until 1954, when Mr. Yang Lao and Mills jointly published the great paper "Isospin Conservation and Isospin Gauge Invariance" and "Isospin Conservation and a Generalized Gauge Invariance", announced the birth of Yang-Mills theory.

This is a very basic but very effective physical theory. It is the basis of modern particle physics and provides a unified framework for the interaction of strong interaction, weak interaction and electromagnetic force. Its biggest feature is the continuation He carried forward Einstein's "research method" and guided the development direction of frontier science.

We must know that the vast majority of physical theories are formed by doing various experiments, measuring various data, analyzing the laws in the data, and forming theories. Then, through mathematical formulas called "theorems and laws", the theory and data are mathematically completed. associated.That is, experiments lead to conjectures, conjectures form theories, and theories form symmetries.

——Maybe someone asked again what is symmetry?This involves a very key mathematical theory "group theory". In simple terms, symmetry is expressed by mathematical group theory. "The situation that the symmetric group is continuous and discrete is called continuous symmetry and Discrete symmetry", German mathematician Will will apply this set of mathematical methods to physics, saying that "gauge symmetry is crucial to physics".

We don't have to fully understand "symmetry", just know that symmetry is the core principle of the theory.

Most theories in classical mechanics, such as the theories of Newton and Maxwell, are derived from such traditional research methods.

But Einstein created a new model, which is to derive a theory from symmetry research, and then verify it through experiments—here, symmetry research has become the core of determining the theory.In this new research model, theoretical physicists make predictions and experimental physicists test them.This is how the general theory of relativity came about. It equated the gravitational field to the curvature of space-time for the first time. It was not until September 2022 that the core principles of the general theory of relativity were tested most accurately. This has passed since 9 when Einstein proposed the theory of general relativity. for 1915 years.

Far away, let’s return to the Yang-Mills theory. The Yang-Mills theory will carry forward Einstein’s new model. It uses group theory, a powerful tool to break symmetry, and theories such as gauge fields and spin characteristics. A set of basic methodology is proposed, according to which we can directly predict undiscovered particles from the theory of strong force and weak force.

Although the Yang-Mills theory was not the reason for Mr. Yang to win the Nobel Prize (the reason for the award was the non-conservation of parity), it made a bunch of physicists who conducted research around it win the Nobel Prize.

According to the Yang-Mills theory, Murray Gell-Mann proposed that protons and neutrons are composed of three quarks, and created quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which uniformly describes the structure of hadrons and the strong force between them. Interaction, that is, a complete and unified description of "strong force", won the Nobel Prize.

Weinberg, Glashow and Salam shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for unifying the theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions between elementary particles based on the Yang-Mills theory.

Having said that, we can return to our protagonist - "Yang-Mills equation", which is a group of extremely meaningful nonlinear partial differential equations that have not been considered in mathematics, which appear in Yang-Mills theory. is the Euler-Lagrange equation determined by the Yang-Mills action.The four basic forces currently known in the physical world, except gravity, the remaining electromagnetic force, strong force, and weak force can all be described by the Yang-Mills equation.

In other words, the mystery of the "Yang-Mills equation" is related to 75% of the grand unification of physics.In this sense, it is not surprising that Yang-Mills equations, together with Maxwell's equations and NS equations, are called "the most important equations in physics".

So when the news spread that "Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, the great mathematicians and physicists of the Xia Kingdom, once again teamed up to solve the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation three months after solving the general solution of the NS equation", One can imagine the sensation caused by the mathematics and even physics circles.

When most ordinary people are still thinking "what is this?", many people in the field of mathematics and physics can't even eat or sleep, so they rush to arVix Go read this great book that is destined to go down in history-although it is still a long way from fully solving the problem of "Yang-Mills existence and quality gap".

The major international academic media almost hit the headlines that attract attention at the fastest speed:
"Xia Kingdom's greatest contemporary young mathematicians jointly cracked the "Yang-Mills Equation" again! "

"Just less than three months after the answer to the NS equation, the general solution of the "Yang-Mills equation" came out! "

"The whirlwind of mathematical miracles from Xia Kingdom is still sweeping the international physics community, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have become the most popular scientists this year! "

"Cheer, salute!He and she have made great contributions to human beings' understanding of the material origin of the world! "

"The unification of physics has taken another solid step forward!" The general solution of the "Yang-Mills equation" has been found! "

"Xiaguo, a magical country, gave birth to incredible great mathematicians and physicists! "

It can be said that the physics and mathematics circles in the whole world have been turned upside down, but when the school leaders of Qingmu University contacted Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in surprise and shock to confirm the matter, they found that their mobile phones They were all in flight mode, and only Xiaoguang, the mobile message assistant, replied, "Master Qin Kezhu and Master Ning Qingyun are starting their honeymoon, please don't disturb them two!"

The school leaders of Qingmu University collectively couldn't laugh or cry.

In fact, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's so-called "honeymoon" was at home, leading a "corrupt" life.The two didn't go out to play, but they were tired of being together every day, doing things they loved to do, such as reading books, watching movies, watching Ultraman Tiga, such as reading some pregnancy and parenting books, looking forward to the new life will be intimate born in love.

The two have been together for several years, but Qin Ke found himself becoming more and more infatuated with Ning Qingyun. In his eyes, everything about Ning Qingyun is the most beautiful, even every strand of hair is, The two have been getting tired of being together for the past few days. Ning Qingjun suppressed her shyness and cooperated with Qin Ke in various intimate actions, which made Qin Ke discover new and beautiful things every time.

After a week like this, the two reluctantly left Xingguang Mingyuan's new home and embarked on a flight to Alada, a city on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert. Adaptation, and consumption of freshwater resources.
