Chapter 573: Chapter 334: I Don’t Understand Physics! _3

If you narrowed the scope to within 50 years, you wouldn’t be able to find one at all.

This is because modern mathematical theory research has developed to its extreme, and with the aid of computer computing power, it is now extremely difficult to achieve groundbreaking mathematical breakthroughs, and many mathematicians cannot even find the most basic research direction to work in.

Zhao Yi’s math research can be considered at its peak, with two significant achievements: the Goldbach Conjecture and the three-dimensional tremor waveforms. In comparison, the weaker Twin Prime Conjecture proof progress, Collatz Conjecture, etc., can only be regarded as secondary achievements.

Once mathematics research reaches its peak, it becomes very difficult to produce more results.

Math is the most difficult subject to achieve results in.

So many mathematicians simply switch to other subjects. With top-notch math as a foundation, research in other fields is not as difficult. The most common development direction is physics. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Physics and mathematics are not really separate.

For example, theoretical physics is pure math, and it is considered a branch of mathematics.

Many physicists are also mathematicians, and it’s impossible to become a physicist without a solid mathematics foundation.

So most public opinion discussions predict that physics will be Zhao Yi’s main direction of attack in the future.

The online public opinions made Zhao Yi feel dumbfounded. At first, he was interested in reading about the public’s evaluation of the AIDS project, but somehow the discussion shifted to what his main research direction should be?

That’s a bit strange, isn’t it?

Should what someone studies be predetermined?

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but complain a few times before deciding to continue reading his topology book. Unexpectedly, Qian Zhijin came over and asked if he was interested in returning to the Intelligent and Automatic Control Laboratory. He added, "We have research in many different fields. You can refer to or even join any of them."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment before he understood that Qian Zhijin probably saw the public opinion news and thought that he was really planning to focus on other subjects?

But...

Public opinions do make sense!

Even if he chose a subject as his main research direction, it should be physics, as he originally had the main mission of winning a Nobel Prize in Physics. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Computer science?

If those people on the Internet who were discussing things knew that Qian Zhi Jin was persuading him to focus on computer science research, they would probably criticize him to death, right?

Zhao Yi read some of the discussion and they all seemed to be know-it-alls about the academic circle. They listed several subjects, including physics, chemistry, and even biology research.

Computer science was selectively ignored.

The reason is simple.

In high-end academic circles, computer and information sciences are not considered ’science’ but ’technology’, and they can be categorized as ’engineering’.

As a top mathematician, Zhao Yi could occasionally achieve breakthroughs in computer science, but if he focused his research on computer science, he would definitely be seen as wasting his talents.

Qian Zhijin found that Zhao Yi was unmoved and laughed, "Well, if you don’t want to, that’s fine. I know you’re very busy. Actually, the reason I came to see you is that Director Zhang from the Science Academy Physics Department was wondering if you’d like to join the collider team."

"The collider team?"

"Yes, the top-level project of building a collider, it’s a huge investment in scientific research, tens of billions or even more," Qian Zhijin spoke with an expression that suggested his mouth was watering. "So, I wanted to ask you... "

"Not for now,"

Zhao Yi thought about it and shook his head, "If it were about collider experiments and data research, I could help a little. But now, it’s about preliminary investment, research and development, and construction. I can’t be of much help because I don’t know much about physics."

"... "

Qian Zhijin wanted to curse upon hearing this.

Not know much about physics?

How could someone who discovered the Higgs particle, established the particle energy theory, and was considered a ’founder of a school’ say they didn’t know much about physics?

Who would dare say they did?

Qian Zhijin took a deep breath and finally choked out a sentence, "Alright, I’ll just tell him that." His tone was very strong, as if he was saying it out of resentment.

"Okay."

Zhao Yi nodded strangely, not understanding why Qian Zhijin was talking like this. He thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure out where he went wrong...

After all, he really didn’t know much about physics!
