Chapter 489: social influence

When the news that Ye Su proved Riemann's hypothesis spread, almost all the media rushed to report the news.
"The century-old puzzle was finally solved, and Ye Su proved the Riemann hypothesis."
"A feast of mathematics, the world's most difficult mathematical problem was finally solved by Ye Su."
"Ye Su's latest achievement, the detailed proof process of Riemann's hypothesis."
Reports like this continue to appear in the media, and the content is all about Ye Su's solution to Riemann's hypothesis this time.
News about Ye Su is always so popular, so that every media in the world is fully reporting this news.
There are even many media outlets that put this news on the headlines, completely reporting this incident as big news.
Riemann's hypothesis may not be that familiar to ordinary people. After all, this is a very professional mathematical problem.
But even people who don't know much about mathematics know that this is a very difficult mathematical problem, because Riemann's hypothesis is too well-known in the world.
Especially when those media are reporting this news, they will also introduce the Riemann hypothesis, and will also popularize with everyone what the Millennium Award is.
Some media even made a special program, inviting a mathematician to come to the show to explain in detail what is the Millennium Award problem and what the Riemann hypothesis is.
After so much multimedia science, people who did not know Riemann's hypothesis have a certain understanding of this mathematical problem.
With so many intensive media reports, the news quickly spread to the whole world.
When this news spread to the whole world, Riemann's hypothesis became the most concerned topic.
Ye Su solved the problem of Riemann's hypothesis, which has existed for hundreds of years, and this matter has caused a very hot discussion among the public.
For a time, the Riemann hypothesis became a hot term, and many people were talking about related topics.
Even people who don't know what Riemann's hypothesis is at all, now like to put Riemann's hypothesis on their lips and brag about Ye Su with others.
Now in the conversation between friends, if you don't mention two Riemann hypotheses, you will be quite outdated and unable to keep up with the rhythm of the times.
Riemann hypothesized that this professional mathematical problem has become a popular term and has completely entered people's lives.
However, this kind of situation is very rare. The solution of a mathematical problem can have such a high degree of attention. This kind of thing has never happened.
Generally speaking, this kind of very professional mathematics problem is difficult to arouse the interest of ordinary people, because mathematics research is too far away from the world of ordinary people.
It is impossible for ordinary people to understand professional mathematics research papers. Mathematics is a game that can be played by the most talented people in the world.
This is a subject that needs talent the most. It is impossible for people without talent to achieve anything in the field of mathematics. Sweat is meaningless here, and talent is the decisive requirement.
It is because mathematics is too professional, so in general, ordinary people rarely go back to care about the trends in the mathematics world.
Generally speaking, if this happens, everyone at best will not continue to care about this matter after understanding it.
In the past, outstanding mathematicians have solved mathematical problems of the same difficulty. Fermat's Last Theorem is a good example.
Fermat's Last Theorem was the most difficult mathematical problem before. After it was solved, the title of the most difficult was transferred to the Riemann hypothesis.
In 1995, British mathematician Andrew Wiles successfully proved Fermat's Last Theorem.
At that time, it also caused a lot of media reports, which was very similar to Ye Su's situation this time.
But that time after people learned about this and this matter, it didn't cause the situation like this one.
Many people just cared about it for a while, but soon forgot about this matter, and it did not cause much repercussions in society.
This time, it was completely different from the last time. It turned out to be a hot issue in society. After a few days, the heat did not dissipate. Instead, there was a growing trend.
Ye Su successfully proved Riemann's hypothesis this time. From a mathematical point of view, there is nothing different from the last time Fermat's Last Theorem was proved.
It seems that the two things are not so different, but the sensation caused is completely different.
This is because people are very different. Ye Su and Andrew Wiles are two completely different characters.
Andrew Wiles was just an ordinary mathematician, and had no reputation at all before.
It was only after he proved Fermat's last theorem that he gained great popularity in the mathematics circle, but ordinary people rarely know this mathematician.
Ye Su is completely different from this ordinary mathematician. His popularity is no less than that of some international superstars.
News about Ye Su can easily arouse people's attention, let alone such a big event.
His personal fans are all over the world, which also greatly promoted the heat of this matter.
It is precisely because Ye Su's reputation is so great that it caused the situation like this.
Ye Su proved that Riemann hypothesized that this matter is being discussed, and the protagonist of this matter appears quite calm.
Although it seems to prove that the Riemann hypothesis is a very big honor, it is just a normal thing for Ye Su.
Ye Su was staying in his home now, leading a peaceful and ordinary life, as if he didn't know anything about the outside world.
However, his peaceful days will soon end, proving that Riemann's assumption of this matter finally brought him a great follow-up impact.
Just after breakfast that day, Xia Xiaowei directly grabbed Ye Su and reported something to him.
"Husband, the International Union of Mathematicians sent me a message that they are going to award the Fields Medal to you and ask you to go to Bacheng to receive the award next month."
It turned out that the Mathematical Union notified Ye Su’s secretary Xia Xiaowei that he had won the Fields Medal this time.
