"I can’t think of it in a short ti."
Chen Ming shook his head and laughed, "Goldbach Conjecture is a difficult problem. There may be more than one way to prove it. You should follow your own thoughts and not be misled by my research."
Chen Ming’s words made Zhao Yi feel suddenly enlightened.
Yes!
Goldbach Conjecture is a world-class problem.
It is extrely challenging to solve problems of this caliber, and even if one does, the process can be very complex.
What’s important is that Goldbach Conjecture is a mathematical problem. Unlike in biology, where studying, for example, Rheumatoid Arthritis, the disease chanism remains constant.
If Goldbach Conjecture holds, it is certain that there is more than one way to prove it, even an infinite number of ways.
The simpler the problem, the more singular the solution process; conversely, the more complex the problem and the higher the difficulty, the more diverse the solution thods would be.
Group theory may prove it.
The sieve thod can work as well.
Other thods naturally could establish the proof.
The ineffectiveness of "Correlation Law" is reasonable since there is no fixed proof thought process to judge the relationship.
"So, there may be several ways to prove Goldbach Conjecture?"
Zhao Yi thought about it and shook his head silently. It’s already quite remarkable to prove the Goldbach Conjecture using just one thod, let alone several.
What he has to do now is to find a fixed path to seek the proof of Goldbach Conjecture, so he can rely on "Correlation Law" for clues.
"Headache."
Zhao Yi pressed his forehead hard while Chen Ming, who was next to him, looked sleepy and kept nodding his head as if he found it interesting.
The people in the front row were pretty much the sa.
In contrast, there were two middle-aged n in the back row, constantly discussing physics topics.
When Zhao Yi turned his head to look over, the older-looking one in the back row waved at him and said, "Zhao Yi, do you have any research on physics?"
Zhao Yi hesitated a bit and still asked, "You... are...?" He didn’t pay much attention to rembering nas, even though he had been introduced to a few people at Shuimu University and before boarding the plane.
He could only say that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn’t rember his exact na.
The man in the back row didn’t seem to mind as he extended his hand on his own, "Ruan Wenye."
Zhao Yi suddenly understood, "Academician Ruan!"
Ruan Wenye is an Academician of the National Atomic Energy Research Institute and is a significant figure in the ’tour group.’
If a particle collider were to be built dostically, the National Atomic Energy Research Institute would definitely be a technical participant. Those from the Atomic Energy Research Institute are the main people in the ’tour group’.
The two shook hands.
Ruan Wenye looked at Zhao Yi with a slight smile, showing a proactive amicability. He was very interested in Zhao Yi.
Mathematics and physics are closely related.
All physicists are good at math, and for this reason, Ruan Wenye knew that Zhao Yi, at his caliber in mathematics, is a precious talent for the country.
Now they were going to see the test experint on the Large Hadron Collider, and most of the team mbers were scholars researching physics. But so mathematicians had to be recruited, as a lot of data in physics needed mathematical support. The complexity of many calculations made them uncertain about their mathematical capacity.
What Ruan Wenye cared more about was Zhao Yi’s age.
Zhao Yi is a world-class mathematician, and he had just entered the professional field of study.
If he were to study physics, he would certainly make achievents as well.
So, Ruan Wenye kindly invited Zhao Yi to join their conversation. They were discussing what kind of particles have mass in quantum physics and what kind of particles ’might have mass.’ Sohow, the topic turned to string theory in theoretical physics.
Zhao Yi was soon drawn into the conversation.
Ruan Wenye asked, "What do you think of string theory?"
Listening to various terms such as quantum and dark matter, Zhao Yi could only play the role of a student on the side, he had never specifically studied these materials. To understand the content, he would certainly need to cram quantum physics.
For now, he wasn’t interested.
After hearing Ruan Wenye’s question, Zhao Yi thought for a mont and said, "I don’t know much about it, so I don’t believe."
The middle-aged man next to him asked, puzzled, "Don’t believe because you don’t understand?"
That’s not the attitude of a researcher.
"I don’t believe because there is no conclusive evidence to show that string theory is correct, and furthermore, it cannot be proven in a short period." Zhao Yi explained seriously.
This is one of the reasons why he is not interested in theoretical physics.
Many studies in theoretical physics can be said to exceed scientific developnt by hundreds of years. So theories, like string theory, exist only in the imagination of theoretical physicists. They co up with various ideas based on flawless formulas while exploring the components of the world. However, it isn’t enough ti to demonstrate these theories within a few decades.
The two people in the back row looked at each other, not expecting this answer at all.
Ruan Wenye asked, intrigued, "Do you believe in Higgs bosons, then?"
"Yes, I do."
Zhao Yi didn’t know what the Higgs boson was, but he had definitely heard of it and seed to have sothing to do with quarks. "Why shouldn’t I believe? The Higgs boson is different from string theory and exists."
