So is the genius’ idea so powerful?
Li Jiangao calmed down. He was not going to discuss this academic issue with Qiao Ze.
To solve the Yang-Mills equation, knowledge of group theory must be used. When the two big guys constructed this special system of equations, they used a rigid body motion set in a multidimensional complex space to replace the group U(1) , which is a compact Lie group. As a result, the Yang-Mills equations have two characteristics at the same time: classical and quantum theory.
But to truly solve this problem, it is not enough to have sufficient knowledge of group theory.
The theory created by the two academic giants is a "non-Abelian" normative theory. Unlike the Abelian group, the lack of commutativity makes the corresponding mathematical theory more profound. At least Li Jiangao never thought of challenging this issue.
In other words, if he really discussed this issue with Qiao Ze at this time, he would most likely not be able to tell whether the child's ideas were whimsical or not.
So Li Jiangao decisively changed the topic.
"Okay, maybe you are very powerful and can really solve the world's problems. We can even assume that you have solved this problem perfectly now. Then do you really think you can get a million bonus?"
Sure enough, these words immediately made Qiao Ze frown and asked, "Why not?"
Li Jiangao raised his hand, pointed out a finger, and said: "The first question, assuming you solve this problem perfectly, how do you plan to let the Clay Research Institute know about it? Or how do you let the world know about it?"
Qiao Ze glanced at the paper on the bedside table.
Li Jiangao smiled and said: "Yes, you can only publish papers, and they cannot be published in second-rate journals. They must be top journals to be taken seriously. Because second-rate journals publish papers of this level, the editors of those journals only I’ll think you’re a fool!”
"But now you are just a high school student who has never even gone to college. No one in the academic community knows about you. Why do you want them to pay attention to your paper?
Did you know that without the recommendation of a reliable tutor, or that you are a leader in the industry, the editors of top journals will not even take a look at the title of your paper, but will just glance at your name, academic qualifications and email address and directly write it down? Was your paper deleted and put in the trash? "
Qiao Ze looked at Li Jiangao in confusion and remained silent.
But Li Jiangao did not stop there, but continued: "Okay, now let's just think that you have incredible luck. The journal editor suddenly decided to take a look at the abstract of your paper. Your abstract was written perfectly and attracted Him, then you know what he will do next? He will find those already famous professors to review your paper.
Now here comes the problem. I can tell you that even if you solve this problem perfectly, there will be no more than twenty people in the world who can understand this paper for the first time! Each of these twenty people can be said to be leaders in relevant fields. Can you guarantee that they won't have any evil intentions?
Is there a possibility that they understood your paper, then directly deleted it, modified it, changed the name, or even changed several names and resubmitted it to the journal? What do you do then? Expose those top-level seniors? Do you think seven billion people in the world will believe a high school student, or famous mathematicians who have studied this problem for more than ten years or even decades? "
Qiao Ze raised his head stubbornly, and after a while, he spit out a word: "arXiv."
Li Jiangao smiled. He had to say that this child's English level was indeed very high. At least he could speak this word very well.
"Ha, of course you can publish it on this pre-publication platform, but as I just said, no more than twenty people in the world of this topic can directly understand it!"
"And if you have no fame and no status, who will listen to your explanation?"
"When people win awards, they will say that they submitted it to a journal first, and then your paper appeared on arXiv."
"Maybe we can even make up some nonsense that after submitting the paper, my personal computer was hacked and the draft was lost!"
"Do you believe that the editors of well-known journals will rush to stand up and testify for them? They will even take out the records of the submission time on their computers to prove this?"
"You don't know that it's not unusual for a paper of this level to be reviewed for one or two years, right?"
"Why do you have to prove your innocence then? Let your mother take you everywhere to beg for help?!"
After saying these words, Li Jiangao looked at the time, it was already 11:30 in the morning.
He didn't wait for Qiao Ze to speak, but stood up and took out a laptop from his bag. He sat at the desk provided in the room. After operating it for a while, he waved to Qiao Ze.
"Qiao Ze, I have something to go out later, and your task in the meantime is to carefully read this article introducing Ramanujan's life. I don't know if you have read it before, but I hope you will read it carefully today! I'll ask the teacher Yu just now to help you bring lunch to your room. I'll be back before about two o'clock in the afternoon. After you figure this problem out, we can continue talking."
"Child, this world is not as simple as you imagine, and not everyone will tolerate your willfulness because of your talent. Even in many cases, talent does not necessarily bring glory and wealth, but disaster. I I hope you can appreciate that and understand that.”
After speaking, Li Jiangao stood up and walked out of the room without hesitation, leaving Qiao Ze alone in the room thinking.
In his opinion, it would not work for a child like Qiao Ze to blindly preach. As long as he realizes the rules of the world, he will naturally understand it.
This is genius!
…
Qiao Ze watched Li Jiangao walk out of the room. After the door was closed, he slowly stood up and sat in front of the desk with his laptop.
He knew the name Ramanujan, but Qiao Ze really didn't care about the mathematician's life.
In fact, he hasn't cared about much over the years. Likewise, not many people care about him.
Lu Xiuxiu counts as one, and so does Professor Li today.
So he planned to listen to Li Jiangao and read this article carefully.
It only took Qiao Ze half an hour to read the eloquent article of about 50,000 words. Then he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, took the initiative to open the computer browser, and began to search for Ramanujan's formula. Ten minutes later, he began to search for shady stories in academia on the browser, followed by plagiarism...
Then Qiao Ze continued to close his eyes and think.
Until the door was opened directly after knocking twice.
The teacher Yu just walked in: "Qiao Ze, Professor Li has something to do. He asked me to bring you food. I left it here for you."
After saying that, Yu Chenggong planned to turn around and leave.
What he never expected was that the young man opposite him twitched his lips and smiled at him, and said awkwardly: "Well, um, thank you, thank you, Teacher Yu."
Yu Chenggong curled his lips and responded formally: "You're welcome."
