Three days had passed.
During this ti, the proofs of the Goldbach Conjecture in "Mathematics Society Magazine" and "Mathematical Progress" were examined and verified by many top scholars and mathematicians. Many people applauded the simple and direct proof thod in "Mathematics Society Magazine."
While many people had thought of this thod before, they all stumbled in the complex process of formula verification. However, Zhao Yi used the limit analysis thod to complete it successfully.
So of the thought processes and transformation techniques used were so impressive that people had a sense of "I see!" as if they had found a path to light in a foggy mountain.
The generalized proof in "Mathematical Progress" arguably had greater significance.
Analysing and proving the Goldbach Conjecture was like solving a complex problem, but it didn’t have much practical significance in itself. The generalized proof in "Mathematical Progress" discussed the coverage problem of pri pairs forming even numbers – a large enough even number could be covered by many pri combinations, but the exact number of combinations was uncertain.
By carefully studying the proof process, you could even write an approximate function to analyze the most probable value range.
As Old Nash suggested, "This can help people better understand pri numbers."
The most impressive aspect of Zhao Yi’s two proof thods was that the process was not as complicated as one might have imagined.
Even ordinary people who conduct mathematics research could understand a significant part after three days, let alone top mathematicians.
In the field of mathematics research, which is often abstruse and difficult to understand, simple proofs like these have beco extrely rare.
Many new mathematical research outcos scare off scholars who study mathematics because the process is just too complex, always involving so brain-twisting logic problems.
Proving this, also proving that; that involving that and that, so this proving that and that. The logical problems just go on and on.
Additionally, so uncertain and controversial mathematical theories can erge.
Wiles’s proof is a classic example, with many logic problems and obvious uncertainties in his theory, which are used in the proof condition.
This is the cause of the controversy.
The two proof thods proposed by Zhao Yi don’t have these issues. For this reason, it is easy for researchers to understand the content, and the conclusions drawn won’t have any disputes.
Many people have discussed this and believe that mathematical research should be like Zhao Yi’s paper.
Uncertainty should remain uncertainty.
For instance, in his hypothesis of a three-dinsional waveform image, Zhao Yi ntioned that the image is rely a conjecture, based on the Riemann Hypothesis.
Certainty should be certainty.
In confird research outcos, no uncertain theories should be used, and if possible, complexity should be avoided in thods that only a few top mathematicians can understand.
These discussions quickly spread online. Most of them praised Zhao Yi’s research, while others expressed dissatisfaction with other mathematical achievents --
"See? This is what proof should be like! Both thods are very intuitive!"
"My advisor said that he understood the proof process in ’Mathematical Progress’ and confird that the result is undoubtedly correct."
"I’m just a graduate student, but I understood part of the content. I also grasped the overall structure of the proof."
"Studying Zhao Yi’s proof paper is a pleasure. It’s like solving a math problem with a definite answer, rather than digging through a stinking cesspit to find a piece of shit-colored stone, only to discover it’s just frozen shit in the end..."
"The description above is amazing. Thanks a lot – I’m eating right now, and you’ve successfully helped lose weight!"
"So, are there still any objections to Zhao Yi winning the Fields dal? If he doesn’t win it at the next event, there’s no need for the award to exist."
"Pardon my bluntness, but you’ve all missed the point. Zhao Yi used two thods to prove the Goldbach Conjecture...How high is his IQ? I bet even if Einstein were resurrected, he’d be willing to admit defeat!"
"I support a resurrected Einstein – he’d be the King of the Universe!"
"I support Zhao Yi – he’s my idol!"
"I support my girlfriend Jenna, but sadly, our neighbor doesn’t give her a chance. Every ti I walk by, I see her holding a gun..."
...
As ti went on, the day of the lecture approached.
A large group of mathematicians and scholars, including many foreign mathematicians, flooded into Yanhua University.
So heavyweights in the mathematics field were among them.
For example, Professor Hughes from Princeton University.
And Professor Thomson from the University of Florida.
Moreover, Terence Tao, who just won the Fields dal, ca to China for the first ti. His trip was entirely impromptu.
Terence Tao had always planned to visit China, considering not only that his parents were Chinese but also that he wanted to discuss issues about digital compression technology with Zhao Yi.
The patent for digital compression technology had been applied for, and agreents had been reached with several large companies regarding patent usage fees. Still, the questions about technology usage and revenue sharing needed to be discussed directly with Zhao Yi.
When Terence Tao heard about Zhao Yi’s proof of the Goldbach Conjecture, he decided to co to China. His courses at the university had just ended, so he applied for an academic exchange to attend Zhao Yi’s lecture. He planned to et with Zhao Yi to discuss specific issues, visit various places, and take it as a vacation for himself.
