At this moment, Carlson had no idea.
While he was still on his way to Harvard University, the news had already spread across the Eastern and Western Hemispheres through the internet.
As one of the world's top institutions, Harvard was naturally no exception.
Discussion of the topic gradually appeared on MathOverflow, a forum for mathematicians, before spreading through Facebook circles at major universities and mathematics discussion communities.
Many people had already gone to sleep, only to be jolted awake by a phone call. They scrambled out of bed and rushed to their computers.
The Grand Unified Theory!
The Holy Grail that had stood for centuries!
This paper was destined to go down in history!
In fact, it was not just Harvard University.
From Princeton in New Jersey to the University of California, Berkeley on the West Coast, and even École Normale Supérieure, the University of Bonn, and Oxford across the Atlantic Ocean...
Professor Lu's forty-page paper, along with its claim concerning the "Grand Unified" theory, was like a fuel rod in a chain reaction.
A terrifying energy comparable to a magnitude-12 earthquake was brewing throughout the mathematical world—and indeed, the entire academic world...
Meanwhile, in Jinling, far to the west of the Pacific Ocean.
As the "instigator" behind this uproar, Lu Zhou, who was reclining in his chair with his "eyes closed in rest," remained completely unaware of the sensation his paper had caused in Mathematics and throughout academia.
Even if he had known, he probably would not have felt much about it.
After all, this was hardly the first or second time something like this had happened to him...
Within a pure white space, a translucent holographic screen floated before Lu Zhou, shimmering with a faint golden light.
