Chapter 222 Blame me
Edward Witten's father was a physicist who studied relativity.
The son inherited his father's business, and Edward Weiteng had physical intuition beyond imagination, so that even he could not explain the profound physics theories he proposed clearly.
So Edward Witten explained his superstring theory through mathematical language, and thus won the Fields Medal.
The basis for the International Mathematics Alliance to present the award is that Mr. Edward Witten has made a unified mathematical processing of superstring theory, achieved outstanding achievements and outstanding contributions.
Edward Weiteng claimed that he didn't understand mathematics. He should mean that he didn't understand all mathematics, only knowing a little bit.
In this little bit of mathematics that Edward Witten knows, his level is better than most full-time mathematicians in the world, such as low-dimensional topology.
Low-dimensional topology studies four-dimensional and lower-dimensional manifolds because of the intervention of algebraic topology, low-dimensional topology and algebraic geometry are closely related.
In this algebraic geometry class, Professor Weiteng explained his understanding of low-dimensional topology and diverged in combination with string theory.
The students in the class were confused and understood less. No one could interrupt Weiteng’s lectures. They couldn’t even understand them and didn’t know where to intervene.
Weiteng has become accustomed to being understood by the world. Not to mention these students, even his peers don’t really understand him.
In recent years, Weiteng has not taken any graduate or doctoral students, because his previous students have disappointed him.
With the ability to peek into the mysteries of the universe and the truth of the microscopic world, Weiteng cannot find a successor.
"The microscopic can be like this." Weiteng had a chewing gum in his hand. He peeled off the wrapping paper and stretched the chewing gum and then stretched it.
"It can be like this." Weiteng compressed the chewing gum and then compressed it, and finally kneaded it into a small ball.
Weiteng used a chewing gum to demonstrate the changes in the microscopic world and explained simultaneously: "When we enter the four-dimensional space, the observed three-dimensional space is completely different from the three-dimensional space we observe in the three-dimensional space. If a three-dimensional monomorph is a tetrahedron, then a four-dimensional monomorph is a generalized tetrahedron with five..."
"But no one has ever entered a four-dimensional space or a higher-dimensional space." Finally, a student interrupted Professor Weiteng's lecture. This student was Shen Qi.
Wei Teng walked to Shen Qi and said, "So you are the only one who understands what I'm talking about?"
There was also chewing gum in Shen Qi's pocket. He peeled a piece of chewing gum wrapper, stretched the chewing gum, compressed it, and kneaded it into small balls, imitating Wei Teng's tone and said: "The microscopic can be like this, or it can be like this, but the truth is actually..."
Shen Qi stuffed the chewing gum into his mouth and chewed it: "That's it."
"Would I call you Einstein or Schrödinger?" Professor Weiteng smiled.
"Shen Qi, my name is Shen Qi."
"Shen Qi, he successfully demonstrated the topology of the 21st century!" Weiteng suddenly became excited, his tone changed.
Turning back to normal, Weiteng said: "Before this, I was talking about topology from the 20th century. The theories from the 20th century were outdated, but no one questioned me except Shen Qi."
The other students looked at each other and did not understand the true meaning of topology in the 21st century from the two chewing gums in the 21st century.
After class, Weiteng asked Shen Qi to stay in the classroom and asked with interest: "Have you learned string theory?"
"No, Professor Weiteng, I actually don't understand physics." Shen Qi shook his head.
String theory believes that all subatomic particles are not small dots, but strings similar to rubber bands.
The meaning of string theory is to describe the entire universe with a unified model. Of course, this theory is difficult to be verified by specific experiments, and at least it cannot be verified at this stage.
"Although I have a bachelor's degree in physics, it's nothing in Princeton." Shen Qi said ashamedly, "I tried to explain Professor Weiteng's problem with mathematical methods. An algebraic subcluster with a positive integer in a projective algebraic manifold whose subdimensionality is a positive integer changes in the vector space generated by its basic classes."
"The explanation is good. I explained it like this back then and unexpectedly won the Fields Medal. Do you know, Shen Qi, I have never positioned myself as a mathematician, but it turns out that there are only a very small number of mathematicians in the world who are wise men." Wei Teng was a little regretful. He positioned himself as a physicist but unexpectedly won the Fields Medal. However, the Nobel Prize in Physics has always been out of reach with Wei Teng.
"Haha." Shen Qi laughed dryly. Weiteng means that other physicists in the world have limited levels. The Nobel Prize judges in Physics hired by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cannot understand Weiteng's physics theory, or it cannot be verified if it is understood. Some even say that string theory is pseudoscience.
Only those mathematicians who are engaged in pure theoretical research can understand Weiteng's real skills.
Weiteng was quite popular more than ten or twenty years ago. In recent years, he has grown a lot, and has become a little depressed in the academic community.
"You are a talented student." Weiteng ended his brief exchange with Shen Qi, and Shen Qi left a deep impression on him.
After parting with Weiteng, Shen Qi suddenly realized an amazing idea: "orbifold!"
orbifold is considered a manifold with singularities in the field of mathematics.
orbifold involves many branches, including topology, algebraic geometry, and string theory that Vitten is good at.
In topology, orbifold singularity is often regarded as an orbifold structure on a topological manifold, and similar to a differential manifold can be regarded as a topological manifold with a smooth structure.
The proof of Riemann's conjecture will be slowed down for now, but there is no clue anyway.
Shen Qi immediately went to the Flint Library, looked up some information, and decided to do a relatively unpopular research on the topic.
For xin Manifolds, currently only a few scholars in the world have proved that two xin Manifolds are equivalent if and only if their basic group isomorphic.
Research results on how to use orbifold basic groups to portray the embryo of the epidermis are almost impossible to find.
"If you do an unpopular topic, you might even win an award." Shen Qi's desire for winning awards is getting stronger and stronger, and he has been often stimulated recently.
Not long ago, Shen Qi was stimulated by Mary's husband. Her husband won 11 math awards in just a few years, like a devil.
Just now, Shen Qi was stimulated by Weiteng. Weiteng was a researcher in physics and reluctantly won the Fields Medal.
I hope to prove that Riemann's conjecture won the Fields Medal, maybe I will wait until what year to go.
There are many competitors in popular topics and fierce competition.
As long as an unpopular topic can produce results, there is a great hope of winning the award.
However, the biggest obstacle to studying unpopular topics is that there are too few useful references and there are not many powerful citations.
"So, I can only make up for it." Shen Qi wrote a written report and was about to ask Professor Muller to apply for project approval.
