Zhao Yi and Edward Witten solely rely on mathematical justifications for their research. Unless mathematical proof indicates a mistake, they can continue their research indefinitely.
The two also have distinct roles in the research.
At the mont, Zhao Yi proposes an idea, and Edward Witten tries to refute it using theoretical mathematics. After long discussions, he has not been able to provide any direct evidence to refute it.
The level of Edward Witten’s mathematical understanding is comndable, suggesting that Zhao Yi’s idea cannot be easily disproven by mathematical models or theories. It would be worthwhile to record the idea and all related content.
This is a pattern.
Their research follows this pattern. Along the way, many other ideas have co up, but these were quickly refuted by mathematical structures, models, and established theories. Only those ideas deed worthy of further research remain.
Once they engage in this type of research, ti seems to be of little importance.
Three days later,
they had recorded several ideas.
Zhao Yi examined each idea recorded carefully. After considering the ’special properties of the power of 2’, he decided to turn these ideas into actual research, which would require the creation of sothing
"A function!"
He said earnestly, "Previously, I thought about dividing pri numbers into two types. One type can form ’the power of 2’ within its near vicinity, and the other type cannot. We could call the forr ’pri numbers with a 2N direction’. I hope to create a way to express this, including ’pri numbers with a 2N direction’."
"Impossible!"
Edward Witten reflexively refuted, "You cannot create it."
"Like a three-dinsional shaking waveform?" Zhao Yi raised an example, slightly perplexed.
"Even that is impossible," Edward Witten responded. "The three-dinsional shaking waveform is a special case, perhaps just a coincidence, or sothing else. I don’t know how you managed it, but similar work..."
After pondering for a while, he said, "Only God could pull that off."
This was said based on ’experience’.
As one of the world’s top mathematicians, Edward Witten is capable of judging the difficulty of mathematics. He believes that Zhao Yi’s idea is completely unfeasible. Pri numbers are unpredictable. Despite the hundreds of years in history, no matter how many brilliant top mathematicians have appeared, only the Riemann Function and the three-dinsional shaking waveform have been created. All unique solutions they’ve discovered are pri numbers.
Now Zhao Yi wants to create a function that contains a portion of ’specially oriented’ pri numbers. It’s as impossible as catching a star from the sky.
Zhao Yi wasn’t basing his decisions on ’logical thinking’. Instead, he felt that creating such a function was no more difficult than creating a three-dinsional shaking waveform. This is because the three-dinsional shaking waveform is irregular, whereas the concept of ’pri numbers with a 2N direction’ is a pattern. He earnestly explained, "I don’t want to create a function that contains all these pris. Instead, I want to create an expression, which could be a function or several functions. Alternatively, it could be expressed using certain nuric topology or algebraic sets. In short, I want to create a thod of expression to describe the set of ’pri numbers with a 2N direction’."
Edward Witten just shrugged, his expression clearly showing he didn’t hold out much hope.
"Alright."
Zhao Yi simply gave up, thinking Edward Witten couldn’t help, "I’ll try it myself."
"That’s fine."
Edward Witten said, "I also need a couple days to summarize the problem. If you run into any problems, feel free to ask . However, I must insist..."
He left it unsaid what he was insisting, but the aning was clear enough.
Edward Witten left the room, deciding to return to his own room to summarize. He also needed to rest for a couple of days, as the past few days had been ntally demanding.
That day, Zhao Yi ’locked himself in’ the room.
It wasn’t because he was upset with Edward Witten, but because he genuinely wanted to create a form of expression.
A few people asked Edward Witten about the situation because Zhao Yi had decided to ’lock himself in’ his room, practically barricading himself in. They were sowhat worried about him.
After mulling over it, Edward Witten finally said, "I think his thought process is at a dead-end. He is attempting an impossible task. From my experience, it’s truly impossible..."
He gave a simple explanation.
Zhou Li, Hu Zhibin, and the others were surprised after hearing this. Not to ntion doing such a task, they didn’t even know where to begin. But they had so faith in Zhao Yi.
Hu Zhibin said, "If it’s Zhao Yi, perhaps he can do it? After all, he created the waveform chart."
"I think there is so hope too."
Edward Witten shook his head violently upon hearing this, "Of course, Zhao Yi is a genius—that can’t be denied. But his experience is still limited. Perhaps his previous research has been successful, which might have built up his confidence. But this ti, it is very difficult— so difficult that I dare say it’s impossible. He hopes to create a form of expression, but pri numbers are erratic, and the ’2N orientation’ division thod is even more chaotic. If you ask to judge it..."
"He’s trying to do god’s work!"
Edward Witten’s unequivocal statent, deflated the hopes of Zhou Li, Hu Zhibin, and the others. They felt confident in Zhao Yi but Edward Witten was a globally recognized top-level mathematician. He clinched the Fields dal in his youth through his mathematical research on ’string theory’. Ranked among the world mathematicians, he would easily make it into the top few.
