There is a well-known paragraph in the mathematics world, which is used to ridicule physicists and talk about how physicists use experiments to prove that "odd numbers are all prime numbers."
First start the experiment. 1 is by definition without proof, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime ...
Ok, enough experiments have been done, the odd numbers are all prime numbers, perfect!
Then, after several years of updating the experimental equipment, I was able to verify the number of hundreds or more, and found that the statistical confidence of the "experimental error" finally exceeded the threshold. I can no longer use the experimental error to explain, so I patched this theory , Redefine physics above the hundredth.
It sounds a bit like the evolutionary history of relativity.
But in fact, the essence of theoretical physics is such a thing that lacks the beauty of mathematics.
The location of the characteristic peak of 750gev is probably similar to "9 in odd numbers". When it appears repeatedly, it is a "sign" or even a "discovery". But when it suddenly disappeared, then it became an error.
Unfortunately, even the upgraded hadron collider can only do something similar to "retrieve odd numbers below the hundredth place".
At the end of the meeting, Professor Frank dismissed the group.
The harvest of Lu Zhou was just two journal articles signed jointly with Professor Frank and his doctoral students.
For him, this is absolutely bad news.
However, Lu Zhou did not intend to give up.
Even if Professor Frank chooses to give up, he will continue the subject.
Mathematics is the language of God. Although Lu Zhou does not believe in God, he believes that mathematics will not lie.
Through rigorous calculations, he predicted the appearance of the characteristic peak. Although he did not know why it disappeared, he absolutely did not believe that there was nothing there.
Otherwise, how to explain the error that occurs at the same time as the cms detector?
Is it just quantum fluctuations?
The fluctuations observed by the two detectors at the same time were too large.
Originally, I planned to play in New York for two days, but because of this incident, Lu Zhou was also out of mood.
That afternoon, he drove back from New York to Princeton.
When he returned to the apartment, it was already night and happened to meet Molina who had just returned from a late night run. At this moment, she was wearing a black sportswear. Her golden hair ends were wet with sweat, exuding a distinctly elegant charm that is usually elegant.
Glancing across Lu Zhou's face, it seemed that something could be seen, Molina teased with a sloppy tone.
"You can see that you are not in a good mood."
"Yes."
Molina raised her eyebrows and smiled gloatingly: "Have been thrown?"
"That's right."
Lu Zhou answered perfunctoryly, took out the key to open the door, and went back to his house.
Molina stared blankly at his back and looked at the closed door. After a long time, she murmured to herself.
"It was really dumped ..."
...
Mining the characteristic peaks of 750gev requires hadron colliders, higher brightness detectors, many, many things ...
He can predict the appearance of characteristic peaks through calculations, but cannot prove the existence of a particle through simple calculations. All he can do is constantly improve the physical model and wait for cern to validate his theory.
Unfortunately, it seems that most people have lost confidence in the number 750.
As Molina said, he was "dumped" and physically left him aside.
Lu Zhou didn't think of a better way at this moment, but could only seek comfort in the embrace of mathematics.
At least, the perfection of the group formation method has reached the final step. Perhaps this temporary frustration can be used as a motivation to help him find the last puzzle piece on the Dragon Sword.
After taking a bath in the bathroom, Lu Zhou fell asleep early.
After getting up early the next day, he renewed his energy and took the lectures downloaded and printed from the Internet to the Department of Mathematics.
Of all the buildings at Princeton University, the Mathematics Building is the tallest building, and it also symbolizes the extraordinary status of the Department of Mathematics here.
However, Lu Zhou who came here didn't listen to esoteric lectures, but was just a elementary number theory for undergraduates.
As the winner of the Cole Number Theory Award, why did he sit here and spend time listening to these basic things? When Gein was lying in bed last night, he suddenly remembered that when he was studying in the library of Jinling University, he watched in his spare time A book.
That book is an autobiography of Mr. Yang Zhengui, and it contains a whole chapter about memories of a generation of master Fermi.
He mentioned in his autobiography that Fermi had advised him not to stay too long at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, because it was like a monastery.
Mr. Yang himself, the biggest impression of Fermi is that he likes to communicate with students, not only is he passionate about lectures, even organizes seminars in person, and even brings out six Nobel prizes.
Moreover, he mentioned more than once that his ideal plan was to retire to a small Ivy College in the eastern United States to teach physics and write a book containing all the difficulties in physics, which are often referred to as "well-known" Such words obscure the past.
From Vera's letter, Lu Zhou suddenly realized that when he delved into Goldbach's conjecture, he ignored some "well-known" things.
Helfgot's thesis is very instructive, but it is too jumpy. Although for Lu Zhou, those things that were skipped were "obvious", many details were left out of these "obvious".
Abstraction should come after careful work, but by no means before solving it.
Lu Zhou hopes to re-examine by recollecting some basic things and picking up those things that have been far away for a long time, maybe he can bring some inspiration to himself.
Quietly entering the classroom from the back door, Lu Zhou did not attract anyone's attention, and found an empty seat in the last row of the classroom.
The lecturer is Charles Feverman, the current head of the Department of Mathematics. It is legendary that he completed calculus at the age of 12 and has already obtained Dr. Princeton at the age of 20. At the age of 22, he is a super-genius who is a plug-in professor at the University of Chicago.
Charles glanced up at the classroom, his eyes stayed on Lu Zhou's face for two seconds, apparently recognized him, but did not say anything, but as usual, while writing on the whiteboard, using his slow manner Voice lecture.
It's not just the classrooms where Princeton's level is high. The students are also great gods. Here are gathered the strong imo contestants, as well as geniuses from the United States and around the world.
Lectures for these geniuses are obviously not as confusing as general university lectures.
Especially for professors who are often sloppy.
Speaking of the proof of the prime number theorem, Charles, who was facing away from the classroom, had just written the twentieth line, and someone raised his hand in the classroom.
"Professor, the value of the Φs function should be 2, not 3!"
Obviously, some people have previewed various proofs of the prime number theorem.
Charles turned around and smiled calmly, seemingly confident, said slowly: "You are right, but believe it or not, even if I wrote the wrong step, I can still reach the same conclusion."
The student froze, and whispers rang out in the classroom.
From the whisper of the discussion, Lu Zhou could feel the incredibleness of these students.
Not just these students, Lu Zhou himself felt a little bit like that.
He has the highest demand for rigorous calculations, and even if he sometimes walks into a dead end ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he will not make mistakes in calculations.
But Lu Zhou didn't say anything, but waited for the professor to finish all the processes.
Charles didn't say a word, turned around, and continued writing on his back to the classroom.
Fifteen minutes passed, and when he wrote the last line of calculations, everyone in the classroom froze.
Especially the student who stood up and pointed out the mistakes, his face was full of skeptical expressions.
That mistake was clearly there, but in the end ...
He really figured it out!
"There are probably more than ten methods for proving the prime number theorem. I have been very rigorous in calculations, but when we are exploring the frontiers, it is more important to be logically consistent. It's not just the foundation of mathematics, but the foundation of all science. As for why I can reach the same conclusion, because after trying many methods, I find that many methods are actually the same way ... "
Then, Charles smiled, gently wiped off the 3 behind the Φs equal sign, changed it to 2 and continued, "Of course, this is just my sophistry of error. Our classmate Smith said yes Yes, the calculation result here is indeed 2. However, whether it is 2 or 3, it satisfies the interval defined by the function ζx. "
Obviously, the professor is familiar with the process.
Lu Zhou even suspected that he had deliberately written it wrong and made these little rookies happy.
Of course, the point of concern is not here.
"Are they all going the same way ..."
Chewing this sentence repeatedly, Lu Zhou was lost in thought.
Gradually, his eyes lit up.
Faintly, Lu Zhou felt suddenly.
The puzzle he was looking for is already in his hand ...
