A nineteen-year-old child has already begun to challenge one of the ultimate global problems, and even on this public presentation, directly expounded his argunt, which requires courage.
Because once the content of the presentation is proven to be riddled with errors, mockery from the academic world is likely to follow.
But on the other hand, when Qiao Ze finally posed his question, those in the audience who hadn't understood a bit of the content instantly forgave themselves.
"No wonder I can't understand, it turns out to be about this stuff! Isn't the title of this presentation a bit deceptive?"
Indeed, that was probably the honest sentint of many people at that ti.
If it were to confirm the "mass gap hypothesis," then not understanding would be normal.
People are always good at comforting themselves.
...
On the stage, once Qiao Ze had finished posing his question, he stood silently on the podium for a minute, taking the opportunity to scan the large venue.
Next was the question-and-answer session.
However, when Qiao Ze saw that most of the audience had started whispering to each other, while a few others just sat there staring blankly, he couldn't help but slightly frown.
He rembered what Li Jian Gao once told him, if he really could solve this proposition, probably no more than twenty people in the world would be able to understand his paper in a short ti.
Previously, he felt that Li had been sowhat exaggerating.
But now, seeing the reaction of everyone below the stage, He probably confird that Li might not have exaggerated too much.
After all, he was still far from proving this proposition.
Due to ti constraints, what he talked about in the presentation today was just a rough idea, without delving into too many overly complicated proofs.
Even then, he could feel that not many people might understand his mathematical thoughts, even though this place was recognized as the top academic institution for mathematical theory in Huaxia.
He was sowhat disappointed in his heart.
He began to doubt so of the words Su Mucheng had said to him.
It seed that the people here were not as smart as he had imagined.
If they could not quickly understand and be inspired by the most basic ideas, he found it hard to imagine them giving more aningful suggestions and hints in deeper research.
The young child felt a bit listless for a mont.
Thus, amidst the buzzing of the venue, Qiao Ze turned and silently walked towards the noisy crowd below.
The question-and-answer session was unnecessary.
Qiao Ze felt that questions with no substance would turn a serious presentation into a farce. He was also tired of repeating those mathematical ideas.
Clearly, the efficiency of the presentation was not even comparable to academic discussions conducted via email.
For the audience who had co to their senses, this was sowhat perplexing.
Well...
Why has the person left? Isn't he going to answer questions next?
Zhang Hongcai was slightly startled, then he glanced at Wang beside him, but upon seeing Wang's brief look of astonishnt followed by a return to calm, Zhang just sighed in his heart and stood up, taking the lead in applauding.
When Zhang Hongcai made this gesture, the people nearby finally caught on.
The professors began to stand up and clap their hands.
They led everyone to rise from their seats and comnce clapping, even though many were still in a daze at that mont.
Zhang Hongcai sighed in his heart.
This was probably the best way to handle it, right? As if there was never a question-and-answer session planned for today's presentation.
At least it spared so dignity.
Well, certainly better than the fiasco at Huaqing's presentation yesterday.
...
"Professor Li, why did Qiao Ze walk off again today?" Yu Chenggong, who had stood up with everyone else to clap, couldn't help but ask Li Jian Gao beside him.
Qiao Ze's presentation content was once again sothing he didn't understand, and probably would never understand.
Not understanding also ant not knowing the level of difficulty. Often "ignorance is bliss" is not pejorative but simply describes a fact.
The Internet made Yu Chenggong aware that the mass gap hypothesis was a significant proposition.
But since he was not involved in the study of mathematics or physical theory, he didn't know that not just researching this proposition, but even truly understanding what this proposition was about, was no simple matter, let alone comprehending its difficulty.
Knowing that a proposition is difficult is often just echoing others.
If everyone says it's difficult, then naturally it is deed difficult.
But really making Yu Chenggong understand where the difficulty lies would be a highly challenging task as well.
Li Jian Gao naturally understood, even to the extent where he was intimidated by the proposition.
Like ever since he stepped into the halls of mathematics, he had never thought of making contact with this proposition.
That was a recognition of his own abilities.
So when he heard Yu Chenggong's question, Li Jian Gao fell silent for a mont before giving a very sincere answer, "This is probably hitting the high notes to scarce audience mbers."
"Haha, Director Yu, Li is quite shy. Actually, the answer to your question is very simple, because he is Qiao Ze," Su Mucheng, who had heard their conversation, said proudly.
"Yes, yes, you're right," Yu Chenggong nodded repeatedly.
Although the answer was sowhat idealistic, it was very easy to comprehend.
Because he is Qiao Ze.
...
There are many hypotheses in mathematics, interestingly enough, so are there in physics.
Many hypotheses, if verified to a certain extent, turn into conjectures.
It's hard to say which conjecture is more noble, but conjectures that have withstood countless verifications yet cannot be proved naturally beco the most attention-grabbing propositions in the history of human science. The scientific system of humanity is such a process of continuous summarization.
