To be honest, many people at the defense meeting were a little confused at this moment.
Not only Robert Stephen, but he actually didn’t know what was going on. Because Qiao Ze’s conversation with the host was in Chinese, he didn’t wear headphones for simultaneous interpretation, so he didn’t understand.
The host was also confused at this time.
According to the normal process, Qiao Ze should finish answering the questions first.
But it was obvious that Qiao Ze did not answer a word.
Without even thinking about this issue, he asked him to change to someone else...
What's going on?
To be honest, the host was a little anxious at this time. After all, even if Qiao Ze couldn't answer, it would be better to just deal with a few words, right?
It would indeed be impolite to skip it directly.
Not to mention that Robert Stephens was no unknown.
But soon, the host felt that something was wrong.
Standing on the stage, he could see many scholars in the front row turning their heads and gesturing towards Robert Stephen, as if to prompt him to sit down first.
Nearly half of the visiting scholars looked at the big boss with uncomfortable eyes.
The host was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Well, Robert Stephen actually felt that something was not right.
However, he still didn't quite understand what was going on.
Until a professor from Imperial College London who was also waiting to ask questions beside him couldn't sit still. Isn't this stalemate a waste of time?
So the professor simply stood up and said instead of Qiao Ze: "Oh my god, Robert, didn't you put on your headphones and listen carefully? Qiao Ze just spent at least five minutes explaining this issue! This is for transcendent geometry. Learn a correction term added to the boundary conditions of the second theorem.
Therefore, [r(x)=\frac{\alpha}{x^2}] is not inconsistent with the second theorem, but is a modified formula given to make it easier to verify the results in future physical experiments. Used to help laboratories better identify energy level structures! Sit down, don't waste any time! "
"Correction item?" Robert Stephen's old face turned red instantly.
What a damn modifier.
This is a mathematics paper. Who the hell would give explanations beyond the framework in a mathematics paper? What does Qiao Ze want to do?
Robert Stephen finally recalled that when he saw this part, he keenly discovered the contradiction with the previous part, so he took off his headphones directly. So as not to disturb his thoughts from the sound in the earphones.
result……
Wait, no, why are the papers sent to all the scholars attending the ceremony in Chinese?
Are you just waiting for him here?
If this was an English paper, he would definitely have noticed this even if he hadn't listened to the simultaneous explanation in the headphones just now.
Now the result is that he seems to have asked a stupid question, so stupid that the young guy on the stage didn't even bother to answer him?
The most unbearable thing for Robert Stephen was that when he was mumbling to himself, there was a sudden burst of laughter from behind.
Is this making fun of him?
What right does the person sitting in the back have to laugh at him?
Well, it can only be said that Robert Stephen is too sensitive. If he had listened to a sentence circulated by China on the Internet, maybe his mentality would be much better at this time.
As long as you don't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
It's a pity that Robert Stephen really felt embarrassed at this moment.
Fortunately, the host on stage finally reacted.
Although the professor from Imperial College London speaks English, he may not be that proficient in the direction of Qiao Ze’s research, and he may not understand the thesis very clearly, but his English is certainly no problem. of.
Good guy, no wonder Qiao Ze changed the question directly.
It turns out that it’s not that I can’t answer it, but that I was reminded repeatedly when I was just talking about the ppt.
So the host said politely: "Professor Stephen, please sit down first. If you don't understand anything about the content of the paper, you can find an opportunity to discuss it with our paper author after the defense. Next, please asked Professor Davies of Imperial College.”
Robert Stephen took the step handed by the host who reacted in time and sat back quickly.
No way, he's just a mathematician, not Spider-Man or Batman.
Otherwise, he would definitely choose to rush forward and tear the mouths of those who ignored him and laughed at him into pieces.
Truly, Robert Stephens had never craved power more than he did today.
Like a naive child who doesn't understand the world.
The mixture of annoyance, anger, shame, and embarrassment made him feel dazed. Although he put on the interpretation headphones again, he couldn't concentrate and couldn't hear clearly what was being said.
Until the end, the host's voice sounded again: "Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in Qiao Ze's doctoral thesis defense. I declare this defense to be over. Congratulations to Qiao Ze for successfully passing this defense."
Robert Stephen, who was immersed in his own world, heard this sentence clearly, and then realized that the seat vacated after the defense committee had just left was once again filled with people. Everyone stood up and applauded at this time. Probably the young man on the celebration stage finally got rid of his student identity and became one of them.
To be honest, Qiao Ze's successful PhD graduation is not bad news for everyone present.
Also included is Robert Stephen…
The defense meeting is finally over.
He felt like a clown at this moment, but unfortunately, he was not the one in the movie.
That Qiao Ze must be laughing at him crazily in his heart, right?
Robert Stephen's eyes became firm.
There must be something wrong with the paper.
But he needs time. Maybe he will be able to find the omissions in the proof when the official English version of the paper is published.
No one can solve the Yang-Mills quality problem in such a short time! nobody!
…
Well, fortunately, Qiao Ze didn't know that the guy in the audience who asked a stupid question actually had such a rich inner drama.
Of course, it is impossible for him to laugh at someone who has nothing to do with him in his heart, even if this person is also a well-known scholar. The actual situation is that when he said "next question", he no longer paid attention to this guy.
It's completely normal for a few idiots to sneak into the defense meeting.
Judging from Qiao Ze's experience, if there are 4 or 50 students in a class, 80% of them will have a failing IQ. Today, there were nearly two hundred scholars who came to watch his defense. Although they were screened, it was normal for a dozen or so people to not meet the IQ standard.
In high school, he tried to resist, but the result was not ideal, and he was even deprived of the opportunity to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.
If he hadn't met Li Jiangao, he might have been wasted for a long time.
Because no school gave him a credit endorsement, and no one gave him the initial capital because of trust, he did not have so many channels to broaden his horizons, be exposed to many new ideas, and have almost unlimited computing power to inspire. His inspiration or imagination, and the verification of his wild ideas.
So ignoring the stupidity of others is the best option.
The operating rules of human society have always been that if the IQ is too high or too low, it will be difficult to integrate into normal people's lives. This is why Qiao Ze has always been grateful to Li Jiangao from the bottom of his heart. Uncle Li taught him how to use or even subvert the rules and how to make deals with other people. These are extremely valuable life experiences for him.
This is also the reason why Qiao Ze is determined to fulfill Li Jiangao's wish and push him to the position of academician.
If Li Jiangao heard Qiao Ze's inner monologue, he would probably be very frightened.
Really, he felt that he had never taught Qiao Ze anything.
In the past year, all of Qiao Ze's achievements have come from free-range farming.
And he, Li Jiangao, the most admired and even envied Ph.D. supervisor in China, had just finished reading the hundred papers specially prepared for him by Qiao Ze last summer last month.
No one even knows that Qiao Ze’s doctoral thesis comments were written by Qiao Ze himself.
The most he could do was sign his name. He didn't even read Qiao Ze's paper in full, which was not a shame. After all, this was not his research direction. Just like what he once said to Qiao Ze, if one day Qiao Ze really solves the Yang-Mills field quality problem, there will not be more than twenty people in the world who can understand his paper for the first time.
But today it seems that he overestimated this number.
It would be great if there were five people who could follow Qiao Ze's thoughts immediately.
This is mainly because Qiao Ze abandoned almost all previous research and proposed two new sets of mathematical theories, superspiral space algebra and transcendental geometry, to explain this problem.
For other scholars, if they want to understand Qiao Ze's ideas, they must first learn and understand these two new theories, and then they can judge whether Qiao Ze is right or wrong from an academic perspective.
It would have taken a lot of time, two years, five years or even longer.
But the plan given in Qiao Ze's paper allows physicists to bypass these complex mathematical proof processes and indirectly prove the correctness of the theory through experimental data analysis. So this time will be greatly shortened. If it's fast, you might be able to get the results in half a year or a year.

Because physicists do not need to fully master the complex theoretical system, they only need to remember the formula given by Qiao Ze, and then put the experimental results into the formula to directly verify it.
In addition, Qiao Ze directly found the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation through new algebra theory, and it has been verified by supercomputing.
This also allows the theory of superspiral space algebra to be recognized by the vast majority of mathematicians.
Therefore, Li Jiangao also firmly believes that Qiao Ze's paper today must be correct! Even if it hasn’t been verified yet! This confidence is even greater than his doctoral thesis!
Really, when Qiao Ze bowed and saluted him, Li Jiangao's mind was filled with all kinds of emotions and shame.
Speaking of which, he really took advantage of him as a mentor.
"Okay, okay, don't be like this, Qiao Ze. Let's take pictures first. The photographer will be waiting impatiently later, and your mother and Xiao Su are also waiting below." Li Jiangao supported Qiao Ze and forced Resisting the urge to kneel down to Qiao Ze in turn, she pulled him towards the outside of the new conference center.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded.
…
There is not much to say next.
Qiao Ze wore a doctor's suit and took photos according to the process.
First, let’s take a group photo with all the members of today’s defense committee.
To be honest, the professors from foreign schools who were on the defense committee fought for this spot largely because of this group photo.
No matter what foreign scholars think, at least in China, the vast majority of people have recognized that Qiao Ze will definitely become a world-class top scholar in the future.
Regardless of religion, nationality, or other factors.
The main reason is that almost all the influential bigwigs in the Chinese academic circles are optimistic about Qiao Ze, even if it is only superficially.
When I was an undergraduate, I dared to apply to become a member of the Natural Science Foundation’s expert pool, and the Natural Science Foundation Committee held my nose and accepted my application.
Not only did he single-handedly give his mentor an Outstanding Youth hat, but he also pressed the faces of the professors who had applied for Outstanding Youth in the past and rubbed them on the ground. Everyone felt that there would definitely be some noise.
As a result, the existence of the solution to the Yang-Mills equation was directly proved the next day, and the paper was published directly in the "Annals of Mathematics". Mr. Yang personally attended the report meeting and gave a general explanation at the report meeting...
God knows how many people were shocked by this series of operations.
This also disappointed everyone who wanted to watch the excitement.
I thought that Qiao Ze would receive some education from the upper class because of his young and frivolous behavior, but the result was exactly the opposite.
First, the person who caused the trouble should directly apologize publicly, and then the school will take a serious stance.
After Qiao Ze's paper was published in the "Annual Review of Mathematics", serious handling procedures really started. The school suspended the professor's qualifications to recruit graduate students and apply for projects, and ordered him to conduct a deep review.
After the report meeting, the punishment was upgraded again after research, and he was simply dismissed. Well, now, that person will probably not be eligible to apply for the Outstanding Youth Program in the future.
As for after today, once the academic community recognizes Qiao Ze's research results, it will not even be as simple as a Fields or Abel Prize.
Because once it is determined that Qiao Ze’s understanding of the Yang-Mills field mass problem is correct, then superspiral space algebra and transcendental geometry, which are mainly used to solve this problem, must also be correct and extremely valuable mathematical theories.
This status was instantly elevated to that of the founder of a new theory.
how to say?
For example, even if Qiao Ze accidentally becomes famous right away, after his achievements are recognized in a few years, he will almost immediately become a top being like Lao Ai and Lao Niu in the world's academic circles. It will be written directly into the history books.
The mathematics and geometry named after him will inevitably become compulsory courses in higher mathematics in the next ten years. Every year, countless new people follow the ideas he gave to dig deeper into the contents of superspiral space algebra and transcendental geometry.
In half a century at most, the legend of the Qiao Ze School or the Xilin School will begin to spread in the theoretical circles.
A by-product is probably that stories about him will spread widely.
For example, Qiao Ze's persistence and perseverance in academics are incredible. He is conducting research almost all the time, including when he is dreaming! So one day in his dream, Qiao Ze invented a new mathematical form and used the new mathematics to solve a world-class problem, which was worshiped by all scientists around the world.
This shows that genius comes from hard work after all.
Really, this kind of story is bound to spread. Maybe it will be even more bizarre and become an inspirational text in textbooks in the not too distant future, engraved in the minds of many children.
The only pity is that Qiao Ze is not dead yet. So all this has to be postponed.
All in all, everyone was smiling brightly when they took the group photo, but it's not certain that some people were actually expecting Qiao to die soon. It is a pity that Qiao Ze is too young. He is so young that even in the final group photo of all the scholars attending the ceremony today, no one in it is confident that they can really outlive him.
After the official group photo was completed, Lu Xiuxiu, Su Mucheng, and Qiao Ze's roommates, who had been watching the feast, also started taking pictures.
The teacher in charge of photography was not impatient at all.
I took the camera and took nearly a hundred photos in a row.
Really, Qiao Ze feels that the total number of photos he has taken in his life is probably not as many as today.
Especially Lu Xiuxiu.
When Lu Xiuxiu was a child, she always wanted to take more photos of Qiao Ze as souvenirs, but Qiao Ze never cooperated. This time she finally found an opportunity, not to mention there was a dedicated photographer to help her find the angle. So I simply took Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng, and under the leadership of Qiao Ze's roommates, started filming everywhere.
She took photos of almost every place in the school that she thought had beautiful scenery.
It wasn't until she felt that her dear son had almost reached the limit of endurance that she finally reluctantly gave up.
Qiao Ze finally relaxed and could have a quiet meal with his roommates.
…
At the buffet prepared in the school cafeteria, Lot Dugan directly approached Peter Schultz who was holding a sandwich and watching the video replay on the dining table.
"Professor Schultz, can we talk?"
"Of course, Professor Dugan, what's the matter?"
"Just now when I was listening to Qiao Ze's talk about transcendental geometry, I suddenly had a bold idea. If the theorem in it is proved to be correct, this new method can be used to deal with the optimization problem of multivariate functions. You are in this area Expert, so I’d like to discuss it with you.”
"Oh? Tell me what you think." Peter Schulz was obviously also interested.
Lot Dugan took out the manuscript that he had prepared and handed it over, and said excitedly: "Consider an objective function f(x)=∑n, i=1, sin(xi), and then define a constraint Function g(x)=e^x1+cos(x2)=0, and then introduce the Lagrangian multiplier λ to handle the constraints, and you can get a new Lagrangian function.”
Peter Schulz looked at the manuscript handed over by Lot Dugan seriously.
What is written above is actually very simple.
But this is normal.
Even if you really get inspiration from Qiao Ze's reply, you won't be able to think it through in a short time.
But the idea of conceiving Lot Dugan is very clear.
Although there were only a few formulas on the manuscript, it allowed him to quickly understand what this rigorous old man was thinking.
"It's very interesting, so what you need to do next is to ensure the numerical stability, and more importantly, to ensure its convergence. This is indeed a direction worth thinking about. Oh, Professor Dugan, if you can succeed, you can This greatly simplifies the calculation of this type of equations."
"It's what I thought! Do you think this is interesting too?" Lot Dugan said happily.
"Of course, I think..."
"Excuse me, I think the first thing to do is to prove that the theorems you rely on are correct, rather than just conjecture."
A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
Lot Dugan turned his head in displeasure and looked in the direction of the sound. He couldn't help but frown when he saw that it was Robert Stephen.
"Okay, Professor Stephen, thank you for your insight. But do you think there is a possibility that you have stubbornly fallen into a misunderstanding? Of course, I am not saying that Qiao Ze is definitely right, but at least after two hours of In the discussion, I have not found any loopholes yet.
Of course, you are different. Either you didn't listen to the report carefully at all, or your ability to accept it has deteriorated too much with age. Of course, no matter what it is, I don’t think you are qualified to evaluate my ideas. Or maybe working at MSRI makes you so arrogant that you lose your most basic scientific literacy? "
Don't expect Lot Dugan to save face.
In fact, this little old man has always been a maverick in the field of mathematics. The qualifications of the dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics also gave him the capital to not give others face. It's as if he likes to comment unscrupulously on the previous judges of the Fields Medal. Sometimes the words are even extremely harsh.
The confidence comes from the fact that he has trained three Fields Medalists and two Abel Prize winners. I have already won the Abel Prize and the Wolf Prize.
As for Robert Stephen, he really didn’t come for abuse.
He was looking for Edward Witten.
But after searching around the restaurant, I didn't see anything. I happened to see Lot Dugan, and I wanted to ask the dean of Princeton's School of Mathematics where Edward Witten had gone. As a result, as soon as I walked over, I overheard his discussion with Peter Schulz, and I couldn't help but said more.
Lot Dugan's response also made him feel a little better, but facing this old man, he had no better way.
"I don't want to argue with you, Professor Dugan. But one thing I think is that questioning is precisely because I retain a reverence for science."
After saying this while suppressing his temper, Robert Stephen was about to simply ask Edward Witten where he was and then leave immediately. Unexpectedly, Lot Dugan had already turned his head and continued to say to Peter Schulz: "Ignore this stupid guy. What do you think if we follow this idea and design and develop a new algorithm?"
Peter Schulz glanced at Robert Stephen, whose face was a little green, and showed a helpless and regretful smile. Then he looked away and said seriously: "Of course, Professor Dugan. I think it can be used as a topic, but in fact Stephen At least what the professor said is right, we need to have a deeper understanding of transcendental geometry so that we can progress more smoothly."
"Ha, that's why I came to you. I made an appointment with Qiao Ze to discuss some academic things with him tonight. So please help me think about it quickly. If this research direction is feasible, we need What problems should be solved? Alas...I am getting old after all, and my thinking speed has slowed down, and I am not so comprehensive."
