Chapter 1118: Chapter 551 Proving the Riemann Conjecture!_2
They had come together.
Ruan Wenye was still conducting theoretical research, but he represented the anti-gravity team, and when the senior leadership visited the university, they simply brought him along. In case there were any academic issues, Ruan Wenye could help "translate" them.
As they approached the door, Qian Hong hurried over to gesture for silence, explaining, "Academician Zhao said not to disturb."
Ruan Wenye looked towards the senior leadership.
The senior leader said, "Alright, we’ll just wait here for a while."
They did not wait for the two men to finish their discussion but were joined by Qiu Chengwen.
Qiu Chengwen had heard that Edward Witten had come and was researching with Zhao Yi, so he rushed over to take a look, only to encounter the senior leadership.
"What is this..." Qiu Chengwen asked, somewhat perplexed.
"Zhao Yi said not to disturb," Ruan Wenye said with a touch of helplessness.
If Zhao Yi had said not to disturb, it certainly meant the research was at a critical moment, or it was a time of inspiration; disturbing them would definitely be inappropriate.
Qiu Chengwen approached the door and looked at Qian Hong, "May I go in for a look?"
After thinking for a moment, Qian Hong said, "But, keep your voice down." Her main consideration was that Qiu Chengwen was a top mathematician and perhaps could directly participate in the discussion or help with the research. freewёbnoνel.com
"Alright."
Qiu Chengwen pushed open the door and walked in, only to find Zhao Yi and Edward Witten engaged in a debate. He listened carefully to several statements, realizing they were discussing a topological issue, and did not pay much attention.
He moved to the couch and noticed a stack of drafts on the coffee table. He glanced through them and was immediately captivated.
Because he could hardly understand them!
Qiu Chengwen was much more formidable than Zhou Li; he had also researched theoretical physics and achieved international recognition for his work on Einstein’s mass-energy equation. He had even discussed related research with Stephen Hawking.
But theoretical physics had so many disciplines, and Qiu Chengwen only had a rudimentary understanding of string theory, never having the patience to study it.
So upon seeing a multitude of formulas and analyses related to string theory, even involving ’custom properties’ of mass points, Qiu Chengwen was somewhat baffled. He pondered over a formula for a long time, then looked up to see Zhao Yi still debating with Edward Witten and with a sigh, left the room.
Qiu Chengwen wasn’t like Zhou Li, lamenting the vast gulf between them; in fact, he thought it was normal not to understand, for he hadn’t studied string theory, and it surely contained some ’research findings,’ making it even less likely to be comprehensible.
Yet, he still understood what the two were specifically researching.
String theory, M Theory, high-dimensional space, and some issues with energy in Boundary Theory.
"They must be constructing the material structure of high-dimensional space, right?"
After looking at several equations and combining what the two were discussing, Qiu Chengwen could pretty much tell.
Having stood by for a long while, noticing that the two were continuously discussing, he simply left the room. The senior leadership and Ruan Wenye immediately surrounded him and asked, "How are things inside?"
"They’re discussing intensely."
Qiu Chengwen pursed his lips forcefully before continuing, "The content is very profound."
"So, some say that at the end of science lies God, and I feel like they are researching God..."
His tone carried a hint of jest, and it was unclear whether he was mocking science or the research into string theory.
Qiu Chengwen went on, "However, the mathematics involved is formidable. With all this math put together, even if they say tomorrow they have designed an aircraft that defies Earth’s gravity with high-dimensional theoretical logic, I wouldn’t be surprised at all."
He was affirming the mathematical value.
Ruan Wenye’s mouth hung open in shock for a moment, then exchanged glances with the senior leadership and Qian Hong, and with a light cough and a chuckle, he said, "I wouldn’t be surprised either."
"Hmm."
"Anything is possible with Academician Zhao!"
The senior leader also chimed in, thinking to himself that Qiu Chengwen, indeed, was close to guessing right after just one tour around the room.
In the end, none of them got to speak with Zhao Yi, because the discussion between Zhao Yi and Edward Witten was too earnest. They were not only discussing but also engaged in a lot of debates.
When they encountered a complex question, they easily held differing views due to different perspectives, yet the mathematical logic remained consistent.
The two researchers worked tirelessly and with complete passion because they had found the direction for solving the problem—
Reverse deduction.
They were making use of the norms for analyzing the Riemann Conjecture and Fermat’s Last Theorem to retro-engineer the mapping including the topological forms of mass points.
Suddenly.
A week had passed.
The room was filled with drafts everywhere; they sat amid piles of them, and the assistants like Qian Hong had no way to help organize because rearranging some documents made it harder to find them, so they let the researchers sort them out themselves.
Out of the blue, a shout came from the room, "It’s complete!"
"Perfect!"
"The logic has formed a closed loop!"
"This might be the most perfect work of my life, simply a masterpiece of God!"
People from outside walked in to see Edward Witten holding a notebook filled with extremely complex formulas, his excitement palpable as he continued to exclaim, "Yes, a masterpiece of God, I am God!"
"No!"
"We are all God!"
"Ha ha~~"
Edward Witten had reason to be excited; they had spent a great deal of time constructing the topological expression of mass points in multi-dimensional space, effectively deciphering the material form of high-dimensional space, which would significantly enhance both string theory and superstring theory.
