Chapter 216 Xu-Weyl-Berry Theorem and High-Dimensional Space(2/2)
Professor Brian Schmidt sighed and said, "Thank you."
After the mathematical tool of extended application of xu-weyl-berry theorem appeared, he was inspired to think of this aspect.
But it is a pity that he has not fully mastered this tool, and has not been able to go further on it, nor can he explore whether this tool can be used to calculate high-dimensional spaces, so he has put his hope to today.
pity.....
...
The one-hour report ended, and the scholars in the venue gradually dispersed, but the commotion outside had just begun.
The news was transmitted very quickly. In a short time, today's report had already spread throughout the entire mathematics, astronomy and astrophysics circles, and it even had a vague meaning of breaking the circle.
[Today’s report meeting was really exciting!]
[What does Professor Brian Schmidt’s last question mean? I don’t understand it. Calculation of high-dimensional space?]
[The xu-weyl-berry theorem may be used to calculate whether four-dimensional space really exists. 】
[The kind of four-dimensional space in science fiction movies?]
[Well, if you can calculate the high-dimensional space composed of length, width, height and time, you may be able to enter it, and you may be able to travel to the past and future. 】
【Oh My God!】
[Is it impossible? Can mathematics calculate this? 】
[It is certain that mathematics can do it. All theories can be expressed in mathematics, but it should not be possible now.]
[Hiss~, this is too scary. If you can travel to the past or the future, wouldn’t this be a time machine? 】
...
Various discussions continued at the academic forum, not to mention that Xu Chuan, who was still at the International Congress of Mathematicians, was once surrounded by various scholars and reporters who knew the news.
Mathematical tools for calculating high-dimensional space, mathematics for opening four-dimensional space, and time machines, all of these things concern everyone's hearts.
"Can your method really not be used to calculate information in high-latitude space?" In the hotel, Chen Zhengping looked at Xu Chuan and asked, and he also had some expectations.
Xu Chuan shook his head and frowned: "Any calculation is based on obtaining data. We can't even obtain data now, how can we calculate?"
"The xu-weyl-berry theorem can calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies because various astronomical equipment actually observes various parameters of those celestial bodies. The mathematical method is just a further recalculation and optimization of those parameters.
.”
"As for high dimensions, we know too little. Those theoretical methods are always just theories, and there is no reliable real data. Except that we can feel the flow of time, we cannot obtain any other information."
"That's not how math works."
Xu Chuan shook his head and replied. At first, he was also shocked by Professor Brian Schmidt's question.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was something impossible to do.
At least not possible for the time being.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We don't understand this thing. If there is any hope, it will either be with you or I don't know how many years in the future."
Chen Zhengping shook his head and continued: "How long do you plan to stay in Princeton? When do you plan to return to China?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Come on, I will go back after this International Congress of Mathematicians."
He has never revealed his thoughts and time of returning to China to others, but it doesn't matter now.
After this International Mathematics Conference, he no longer plans to return to Princeton. He plans to fly directly from Brazil to Europe and then transfer back to China.
This is safer.
As for the materials and things in Princeton, you can just have them mailed back or brought back. If they are intercepted, then don't do it.
Chen Zhengping was a little surprised and asked: "So fast?"
He originally thought that Xu Chuan would stay at Princeton for another year or two. After all, he was working with Fefferman to study the ns equation and had made preliminary results. There was great hope that he could solve the problem of the ns equation in the future.
question.
Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "No more delay, the higher-ups have already asked people from the organization bu to look for me."
Chen Zhengping suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then do you want to come with us?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Let's talk about it then. Things on my side haven't been arranged yet."
Chapter completed!
