Netizens in the barrage were immediately shocked.
[Let me go, is it true or false? Princeton University's PhD in Mathematics can't even understand?]
In the eyes of most netizens, Princeton University's PhD in mathematics is already a very awesome person.
Of course this is indeed the case.
However, Wen Chenghua quickly explained, "This is actually a very normal thing. I think at least 90% of the people in this lecture hall dare not say that they fully understood this lecture. At least students like us who are almost entirely making up the numbers will basically not understand."
"Of course, excluding Scholar Xiao. I can't say whether he is a student or not. Well... I can't say whether he is a human being. Ahem, I mean he may really be a god. Don't take it out of context for me!"
"Such a lecture is too cutting-edge. As for the mathematics community, there are basically only a handful of mathematicians who can really study cutting-edge issues. The vast majority of them may still be studying things from a hundred or even hundreds of years ago."
"However, although I did not fully understand the report, I can still evaluate some of the steps. For example, the step where Scholar Xiao first used etale algebraic variety automorphism theory and introduced it into his classification sieve theory. I dare say that if I had a brain like his, I wouldn't have spent five years in college. Well... it's still not rigorous enough. I should have even one-tenth of such a brain."
"In short, it's like showing off skills. For example, when we play, we all use the same hero, but some people are able to bring this hero to the extreme and combine some technical means that others will never come up with. In mathematics, Scholar Xiao is one such person. According to the evaluation of my instructor, his ability and talent are probably ranked first in the entire history of mathematics."
"In addition, one thing I would like to say is that after Scholar Xiao's report, there was a question-and-answer session, and no mathematician raised his hand to ask questions during this session. This is actually a very rare thing."
"Logically speaking, it is such an important conclusion, and I have also read Scholar Xiao's paper. It has more than 60 pages, which is a quite long proof process. As a result, at this report meeting, after he finished speaking, no mathematician expressed any problem."
"This fully illustrates one point. Scholar Xiao's paper is detailed enough and his report is comprehensive enough."
"In the end, such a perfect situation was formed, which has rarely happened in the entire history of mathematics."
"The above is my evaluation of this report meeting."
"Well... if I had to give it a score, it would be a hundred faint!"
"God among gods!"
Finally, Wen Chenghua made a joke.
In the live broadcast room, there were already nearly 10,000 viewers. After hearing Wen Chenghua's comments, they also wrote "One Hundred Fades" and "God of Gods" on the barrage.
Of course, it also made them clear how awesome Xiao Yi's report was.
Guo Xiaoming snapped his fingers at this time, and then said, "Very good, thank you for our doctor's answer. Finally, please predict how much impact Scholar Xiao's proof will have on the mathematical world."
"Do I still need to predict this? Brother." Wen Chenghua shrugged helplessly, and finally said, "Not to mention the mathematical world, the entire Scientific Community, and the entire world, will probably be busy for a few days."
"You have to know, this is Twin Prime Conjecture!"
Just like Wen Chenghua said.
Twin Prime Conjecture's proven influence is immense.
Before the report meeting even ended, the news had already begun to spread to the entire world.
First of all, this incident has basically occupied the top spots on the major social media in China.
Whether it's Weibo, Zhihu, or Tieba.
For example, on Weibo, the hot search term #Twin Prime Theorem# directly dropped to the first place.
And the second place is #Scholar Xiao#.
The third place is #a perfect report meeting#.
The popularity values of the three hot search terms far exceed those of other hot searches below them.
And when you click on it, you will see that the person publishing these news is no longer an ordinary blogger like [Math and Physics Events], but the real official media, CCTV News.
[On January 8, 2021, at 13:43 local time, the first day of the Princeton Mathematics Annual Conference held at Princeton University in the United States has ended.
This report will be a special report for Twin Prime Conjecture. The speaker of the report is University of Science and Technology of China, a first-year student from my country, Xiao Yi. He published a public speech in early December 2020 He published a paper titled "Parity Check Classification Sieve and Twin Prime Conjecture", in which he successfully proved an important problem in mathematics: Twin Prime Conjecture, which attracted a lot of attention in the mathematics community.
It is reported that twin prime numbers refer to pairs of prime numbers with a difference of only 2, such as prime number pairs such as 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 11 and 13, and the purpose of Twin Prime Conjecture is to prove that there are infinite pairs of twin prime numbers.
The history of Twin Prime Conjecture can be traced back to the 18th century. The French mathematician Rambrandt-Pierre Bernoulli first proposed this conjecture in a letter in 1742. Since then, it has been hotly discussed by mathematicians in the mathematics community and tried to solve the answer to this problem. However, because the difficulty of this problem is too great, no progress has been made even after more than two hundred years.
But with the end of this report, this problem that spans more than 200 years of history has finally been proved today, turning from a conjecture into a theorem.
Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician Huang Ting from the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science, said, "Twin Prime Conjecture's status in the mathematics world is similar to that of Goldbach Conjecture, which we are familiar with. They both belong to the top problems in the field of number theory in mathematics, even in the research of this problem. A breakthrough in research is a very important event, just like the important results made by Mr. Chen Jingrun in the last century on Goldbach Conjecture. Even now, the results of Mr. Chen Jingrun are still very advanced in Goldbach Conjecture."
"And Xiao Yi is not just a breakthrough, he directly solved this problem, which is too exaggerated. His proof can also be regarded as a milestone event for the mathematics community."
"In the past, if we wanted to prove Twin Prime Conjecture, we needed to use a mathematical theory called the sieve method. However, there was a very important problem in the sieve method, called the parity problem. This problem prevented us from proving Twin Prime Conjecture. But is there any good solution to this problem in the mathematical community?"
"But Xiao Yi used a very wonderful method to suppress the impact of the parity problem to a very small level, and finally completed this proof."
Academician Huang Ting commented. "In short, Xiao Yi's entire method is innovative beyond the common thinking in the mathematics community. The theory he created and the results it produced are gratifying to the mathematics community, and the way of thinking he embodied in the process should be learned by the mathematics community."
...]
CCTV News issued a long press release, giving a very detailed report on the entire incident. It can be said that even ordinary people who do not understand mathematics at all can roughly understand what incredible results Xiao Yi has made.
As a result, in less than an hour after it was posted, the number of comments, likes, and reposts reached an extremely high level.
[Oh my god, Twin Prime Conjecture, has actually been proven? When I saw this news a month ago, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now you are telling me that it is true?]
[Scholar Xiao: I just asked, who else?!!]
[Twin Prime Conjecture, in addition to Goldbach Conjecture, is another pearl in the crown of number theory. Scholar Xiao's strength is unfathomable. Now I am very looking forward to what problems he can solve in the future!]
[Shangjing University Mathematics Department is studying for a Ph. D. and passing by. There is a saying in mathematics that number theory is a game for geniuses, but I think Scholar Xiao will be able to clear this game in the future.]
[Those people at Folk Science Forum will not be able to sleep, they will be lacking a research field from now on # Laughing]
[If you don't understand, just ask, what is Folk Science Forum?]
[Minke is the abbreviation of civilian scientists. Although there are normal people among them, most of them are not human, because there are more than a dozen methods of proving Goldbach Conjecture or Twin Prime Conjecture among them every year. If you tell them that they are wrong, they will still get angry with you.
Well, to put it simply, they are a group of self-important clowns who feel jealous and excluded by society. Folk Science Forum is where these clowns gather.]
[More than a dozen? One hundred kinds!]
[Why does it sound funny?]
[Scholar Xiao is so handsome! Look at this photo of him bowing at the end of the report meeting. It's so elegant! (Click to view the picture)]
[Elegance, so elegant!]
[I'm going to ask for the original picture! This will be my wallpaper from now on, inspiring me to learn from Scholar Xiao every day!]
[This was taken by @Math and Physics Events at the scene. You can take a look. He took many photos and they are all very handsome!]
This comment immediately attracted many netizens to click on Weibo under Math and Physics Events and found a Weibo he had just posted, which contained many photos and a video. The video was about the end of the report meeting.
It has also attracted thousands of likes, comments and reposts.
[Decided! From now on, Scholar Xiao will be my male god!]
[Although I am a male and my sexual orientation is normal, Scholar Xiao he just proved Twin Prime Conjecture!]
[I want to give birth to a monkey for Scholar Xiao!]
[...]
The entire Chinese Internet has become agitated because of this incident.
Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Yi is a genius from China!
Every Chinese is deeply proud of this.
Naturally, when Chinese people are proud, people abroad also express envy and jealousy.
On YouTube, someone has also uploaded related videos of the report meeting.
The following has already aroused heated discussions among many foreign netizens.
American netizen: [What an amazing genius! I think his talent is not weaker than Terence Tao or Schultz!]
United Kingdom netizen: [I can't believe that I can actually see the twin quality hypothesis being proven. Am I really not dreaming?]
French netizen: [Terence Tao, Zhang Yitang, Xiao Yi, they all have Chinese ancestry. Are all people of Chinese ancestry so good at number theory?]
Japanese netizen: [The empire's peerless genius appears once every thousand years.]
South Korea netizen: [I think he actually looks like us South Korea people.]
Chinese netizen: [Looks like your mother]
In addition to YouTube, discussions on Twitter and other software such as Must Die or Wait are also far more popular than before.
Major media around the world have also released news. In the same Scientific Community range, not only the mathematics community has also expressed great concern.
For example, Scientific Community's two most famous journals, "Science" and "Nature", both published this big news on their official website homepages.
Generally speaking, "Science" and "Nature" have never paid much attention to achievements in the field of mathematics. After all, the number of citations in the field of mathematics is generally very low. The number of citations in other disciplines is often hundreds or even thousands. For mathematics, it is almost equivalent to a legendary paper.
In terms of high emotional intelligence, it means that the math skills are relatively high, there are few people doing research, and there are only a few people who are high-minded, and their "Science" and "Nature" will not be hot-faced and cold-butt.
Low emotional intelligence means that you don't like it.
But now that Twin Prime Conjecture has proved such a major achievement, "Science" and "Nature" are willing to stick to this cold butt.
