Chapter 455: Chapter 276: Huge Sensation! _3
The global academic community was astounded.
All eyes worldwide turned to the content of the proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture in the "Mathematics Society Magazine." A whole team of top mathematicians began to seriously study and verify the accuracy of the proof process.
Simultaneously, many people were still paying attention to the news from "Mathematical Progress".
"Mathematical Progress" is a monthly publication, generally issued on the third or fourth day of the month. However, clearly not wanting to miss the spotlight and hoping to add further to the excitement, "Mathematical Progress" hastened the release of its new issue on the second day of June.
Those who received the "Mathematical Progress" magazine a step ahead were all shocked by its contents.
There was an article with the title "Pairing of Primes to Cover All Even Numbers Except Two".
While the title wasn’t as plainly stated as that in the "Mathematics Society Magazine," the shock it caused was even more significant.
First, the author’s name was still Zhao Yi! freewebnσvel.cøm

It was still Zhao Yi!
Now they were confident that Zhao Yi had provided proofs for Goldbach’s Conjecture in two different ways, which was unimaginably astonishing for mathematicians.
They hadn’t even thought of two ways, let alone one... No, just researching Goldbach’s Conjecture and producing some results was already extremely challenging.
The result... Zhao Yi used two methods?
Many mathematicians felt like elementary students compared to Zhao Yi. They completely lost any sense of parity, particularly those who researched number theory; their feelings were especially evident.
Additionally, there’s the generalized covering method, the proof’s significance.
This has a greater significance than direct proof.
Old Nash’s comment on this was, "In a generalized sense, proving Goldbach’s Conjecture is more challenging than direct proof and has greater significance. This will help us understand prime numbers better."
"He used sieve methods and group theory. In the thesis, the repetition of prime pairings covering even numbers was discussed. He demonstrated that the quantity of prime pairs contained in even numbers will obviously increase as the numbers increase."
This is easy to understand.
For example, the number 10 has two prime pairs, which are 3 and 7 and 5 and 5.
The number 30 has three pairs, which are 7 and 23, 11 and 19, and 13 and 17.
The number 50 has four pairs, which are 3 and 47, 7 and 43, 13 and 37, and 19 and 31.
As the even numbers increase, it seems that the prime pairs also increase.
Previously, this was only speculation.
Computer-calculated even numbers and prime pairs also exhibit an increasing trend, but without definitive proof, it remains uncertain whether this trend is apparent in large, uncomputable even numbers.
Now, in Zhao Yi’s generalized proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture, he has provided relevant proof and discussion, indicating that with the growth of the numbers, the quantity of prime pairs also increases.
Of course.
This increase is the result of a collective discussion and displays an obvious trend. However, if discussed in terms of a specific number, it may not hold.
For example, the prime pairs of the number 12 are only 5 and 7, which are even fewer than the number 10.
But within a range, such as from ten thousand to one hundred thousand and from one billion to one billion and ninety thousand, the same span of ninety thousand numbers, the number of prime pairs does show an increasing trend.
Old Nash believes that this discussion will provide more help in understanding prime numbers.
Of course.
These are the issues that professional mathematicians would care about.
Common people don’t care about what it means; their discussions center around Zhao Yi, discussing the fact that he used two methods.
This has caused a tremendous sensation!
The domestic and international opinions were occupied by ’Goldbach’s Conjecture’, ’Zhao Yi’, and ’two methods’.
There were reports everywhere.
There was amazement everywhere.
Amidst the public discussion, Yanhua University’s work proceeded orderly.
On the same day, they released a message to the academic world--
In a week, Zhao Yi would be presenting a report on the proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture in the large conference room of the Yanhua University’s Graduate Building.
