Chapter 1117: Chapter 551: Proving the Riemann Conjecture!_1
What is multidimensional space-time?
To ordinary people, talking about multidimensional space might feel very sci-fi, or they might think of traveling through time and space, and so on. If they continue to ponder, they reach the realm of deities, where, by developing their imagination, they can come up with many more things.
However, in the eyes of top mathematicians and theoretical physicists, multidimensional space-time is nothing more than a bunch of data, explanations, equations, and analyses.
Edward Witten could easily discuss multidimensional space-time and even explain it using mathematics because he often researched string theory and M Theory, the core support of which was the existence of multidimensional space-time.
M Theory is a further development of string theory, proposed in the hope of achieving a grand unification of physical laws.
But whether it’s string theory or the closer M Theory, both are developments of string theory, which had the concept of multidimensional space-time from the very beginning, reaching up to "eleven dimensions."
Eleven dimensions are hard to imagine.
Most people can at most conceive of four-dimensional space (not including the timeline, which only exists in theory); eleven dimensions are utterly unimaginable, and top theoretical physicists are no different. They also rely on mathematical methods to express and analyze these dimensions, using comparisons with other lower dimensions to explain the concepts of higher dimensions to those who do not understand.
Zhao Yi was also unable to imagine higher dimensions of space. Equations beyond four dimensions become extremely complex. So, his study of multidimensional space-time with Edward Witten was also based on ’increasing dimensionality by one degree over three dimensions,’ rather than engaging in overly complex dimensional research.
The most fundamental definition of their research is, "Mass points come from four-dimensional space."
This is Edward Witten’s opinion.
Edward Witten believed that mass points came from higher dimensions but did not imagine them coming from five or higher dimensions. The matter in five dimensions is too far beyond imagination, so he started with the four-dimensional basis.
Zhao Yi’s view was ’uncertain’. He was unsure whether mass points came from multidimensional space or if mass points were merely a combination of three-dimensional energy points, the latter being a product of new ways of understanding.
Through this new understanding, considering the relationship between photons and space, one could further expand their imagination. In a broad sense, space absorbs energy, which supports the continuous expansion of the universe.
From particle leaps to space and then to the entire universe, the new way of understanding could be used to explain many things.
No matter which method is used to understand, the mathematical expressions are the same.
This is also why Zhao Yi was researching with Edward Witten.
Though they had differing views on the universe, theoretical physics, and string theory, it did not affect their joint mathematical research. In terms of expressing mass points, whether they come from four dimensions or are a combination of three-dimensional energy, the mathematical expression would not change.
The two patiently structured and analyzed the topological forms of mass points together, hoping to find a perfect expression and reflect the entire topological forms of mass points onto the carrier that conforms to the Riemann Conjecture and Fermat’s Last Theorem.
If a summary were to be made of their research, the title would probably be--
[The Topological Forms of Mass Points Constructed Based on String Theory, and Their Mapping Under the Regulations of the Riemann Conjecture and Fermat’s Last Theorem.]
Clearly.
It was a complex study.
The mathematical work Zhao Yi conducted with Edward Witten was incomprehensible not only to ordinary people but even to professional mathematicians. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
For instance, Zhou Li.
Zhou Li was a pillar of the Yanhua University College of Science, with international influence on the research of linear partial differential equations.
Zhou Li knew Zhao Yi was researching with Edward Witten, so he came to look at their work, but left the room after less than half an hour.
Because he could not understand it.
Although he could comprehend the symbols, equations, and applications individually, he was totally clueless when they were put together.
As Zhou Li walked downstairs in a daze, he ran into Ruan Wenye coming up.
Ruan Wenye accompanied the senior leaders, who, having heard about Zhao Yi’s research on multidimensional space, were interested in taking a look. The leaders came very low-key, without bringing anyone else, dressed like an ordinary university professor.
Zhou Li, still feeling confused, failed to recognize the senior leader and greeted Ruan Wenye with only a casual "Here to see Zhao Yi?"
"Yes."
Ruan Wenye nodded and asked, "Professor Zhou, you just came down? How was it?"
Zhou Li looked up at the white clouds with a look of bewilderment and sighed, "The clouds, they’re too high, I, can’t reach them!"
Having said that, he shook his head and walked away.
"What was that?" Ruan Wenye thought he had misheard. He stared at Zhou Li’s retreating figure, dug into his ear, and muttered softly, "Professor Zhou... Is there something wrong with him? If he can’t touch the clouds, shouldn’t he go climbing a mountain? Or take a hot air balloon ride?"
"Or is it something else he means..." As he walked on, he pondered, "Touching clouds? Clouds? Could it be that Professor Zhou, has grown old, but had his heartstrings tugged by some young lady?"
"Pfft!"
The senior leader following behind couldn’t help but laugh aloud, immediately covering his mouth and turning stern, "Cough cough... It’s not nice to speak that way about others! I think Professor Zhou is a very honest man, it’s not possible, absolutely impossible."
"Yes, haha~~"
Ruan Wenye quickly nodded in agreement, but still couldn’t help letting out a few chuckles.
