Chapter 564: Chapter 331: Positive, Negative Chords and Positive Curved Surfaces, Negative Curved Surfaces_2

"Crit hit?"

"Why?"

Zhao Yi felt bewildered. He actually wanted to say ’if you didn’t pick and choose, finding a boyfriend would be easy,’ but then she just suddenly ran off?

This...

"Could it be that I’ve gotten even more handsome recently? There’s really no helping it!" He touched his cheek with his hand, feeling helpless about his ever-increasing charm.

...

Due to hosting Edward Witten, Zhao Yi simply took a leave of absence from class.

Of course.

Whether he took leave or not didn’t matter actually, as the teachers of various courses were more than happy if Zhao Yi didn’t attend. At first, when Zhao Yi was in class, some teachers felt it was great because there was a top mathematician in their course, which allowed them to brag about it. But after too many instances, they couldn’t take it anymore, feeling as if someone was supervising them in each class, making it feel strange.

Zhao Yi asked Li Renzhe to help him with the leave of absence. Since Li Renzhe was a student of biological sciences, going through normal procedures would definitely suffice.

His interaction with Edward was very formal.

The last time the two discussed the mathematical problems of string theory was at Zhao Yi’s home. This time, it became more formal as they met at the School of Sciences so that others could participate in the discussion, making it feel like an official academic exchange.

Several professors and teachers of the School of Sciences were listening, with only two people sitting closest - Camilla and Qian Hong.

Camilla was Edward’s student brought along, so it was normal for her to be close.

Qian Hong was the ’assigned’ representative.

Camilla’s enthusiasm towards Zhao Yi was seen by others. Not only Qian Hong felt uncomfortable, but others were also very vigilant.

Professor Zhou Li said in his office with others, "That foreign woman seems to have a crush on Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi must not get involved with her."

Everyone agreed.

People don’t feel at ease seeing women marrying foreign men, and similarly, Zhao Yi was a national treasure-caliber scientist. A relationship with a foreign woman would also be very uncomfortable.

As a result, Qian Hong was assigned to do the ’supervising’ work. She sat beside Zhao Yi, acting like his assistant or student, and kept an eye on Camilla, as if guarding against any special moves from her.

Camilla didn’t seem to care, always smiling at Qian Hong, but who knows what she thought inside.

Zhao Yi didn’t pay special attention to the happenings around him. He saw Qian Hong’s gaze but only found it amusing. He didn’t feel anything for Camilla.

Mainly because there was no Study Coin!

Could a woman who couldn’t provide Study Coins possess any other values worth paying special attention to?

Beautiful?

Being beautiful can’t accumulate Study Coins!

Zhao Yi remained composed, facing Camilla’s lethal gaze with ease. He just had a normal conversation with Edward.

Edward and Zhao Yi discussed their latest ideas, specifically the possibility of creating a mathematical framework between strings and the smallest particles. In simpler terms, how strings combine with each other to produce energy since only energy can create mass.

Of course.

Mass wasn’t within the scope of their consideration.

In the current field of Quantum Physics, the smallest particles are represented by energy. Having energy allows for mass conversion through formulas, so researching methods of energy generation via combination is sufficient.

It’s a very difficult subject.

Strings are just theoretical physics, or things that exist only in mathematical formulas. Attempting to combine something from a mathematical formula into energy using mathematics feels like trying to play God.

The two talked about how to construct it and the general direction of their thinking.

Their discussion was open and not afraid of others listening in because the topics were very profound. Ordinary mathematics professors would struggle to theorize, and only top mathematicians who have also studied string theory could join the discussion.

Moreover, they only discussed ideas since they only had a few days to exchange information and wouldn’t have time for detailed processes.

It was like walking through an extremely complicated maze, trying to find a method to locate the maze’s exit. Their discussion was about how to find that method.

Edward understood that.

Zhao Yi’s understanding had an additional point, "The maze may not have an exit."

On the second day, Edward brought up the key point, which was his latest idea - symmetry.

"Perhaps, strings also adhere to symmetry, just like piano notes. There are positive strings and negative strings in their properties."

"Like matter and antimatter, which when combined produce enormous energy, the key to creating energy might lie in the combination of positive and negative strings."

Edward’s words sparked thoughts from everyone present.

Zhao Yi frowned, deep in thought for a long while. However, he didn’t think about the positive and negative strings, but instead thought of Fermat’s Last Theorem. He had always been puzzled by the reason why Wiles used Gushan Shimura Conjecture’s approach to prove the semi-stable elliptic curve method in solving Fermat’s Last Theorem.

The approach was very novel.

Claiming that Wiles had always studied Gushan Shimura Conjecture was also an unjustifiable explanation.

People’s thinking is different, but because they receive similar education, they tend to have similar approaches when dealing with a specific subject. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

This is also why many scientists fall into the same pitfalls when researching a subject, due to their similarity in thought processes.
