Chapter 234: The Last Puzzle

There's a famous segment in mathematics that's used to calibrate physicists about how physicists use experiments to prove that "odd numbers are prime numbers."

Start the experiment first, 1 does not need to prove by definition, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime...

Okay, enough experiments. Odd numbers are prime numbers. Perfect!

Then, after several years, the experimental equipment was updated to finally verify the number of more than 100 digits, and found that the statistical confidence of "experimental error” had finally exceeded the threshold, and could no longer be explained by experimental error, so the theory was patched up again, and more than 100 digits of physics were redefined.

Sounds like an evolutionary history of relativity.

But in fact, the essence of theoretical physics is this lack of mathematical aesthetics.

The position of the feature peak of the 750GeV is probably similar to "9 in Odd Numbers," which is a “sign” or even a "discovery” when it is repeated multiple times. But when it suddenly disappears, it becomes an error.

Unfortunately, even the upgraded Hadron Collider can only do something similar to "retrieving odd numbers below a hundred digits”.

At the end of the meeting, Professor Frank dissolved the subject group.

And the harvest of the Ark is just two journal papers co-signed with Professor Frank and his Ph.D. students.

This is absolutely bad news for him.

However, the Ark does not intend to give up on this.

Even if Professor Frank chose to give up, he would continue the subject.

Mathematics is the language of God, and the Ark, while not believing in God, believes that mathematics is not deceptive.

He predicted, through rigorous calculations, the emergence of a peak characteristic, and while he did not know why it disappeared, he was absolutely not convinced that nothing existed there.

Otherwise, how do you explain the simultaneous errors on ATLAS and CMS detectors?

Just quantum ups and downs?

At the same time, the two detectors observed a slightly larger rise and fall.

I was going to play in New York for two days, but I wasn't in the mood for this.

He drove back to Princeton that afternoon from New York.

By the time he returned to his apartment, it was already night, and it happened to meet Molina, who had just returned from the night of the run. At this moment, she is wearing a black sweatshirt and her golden hair is wet with sweat, revealing a distinct and elegant charm of peace.

The gaze swept through the face of the ark, seemed to see something, and Molina whispered in a chirping tone.

“I can see you're not in a good mood. ”

“Yes.”

Molina picked out her eyebrows and smiled with some happiness: “Dumped? ”

“Kind of. ”

The ark answered with one sentence, pulled out the key and opened the door and went back to his house.

Molina stared at his back and closed the door. After a long day, she muttered to herself.

“They really dumped me...”

……

Digging 750GeV features peaks requires a Hadron Collider, a higher brightness detector, and a lot of things...

He could predict the occurrence of a characteristic peak by calculation, but could not prove the existence of a particle by simple calculation. All he could do was constantly refine the physical model and wait for CERN to validate his theory.

Unfortunately, however, it appears that most people have lost confidence in the 750 figure.

As Molina said, he was “dumped” and physically left him aside.

Nor did the Ark think of any better way to find comfort in the arms of mathematics at this time.

At the very least, the final steps have been taken to refine the group structure, and perhaps this temporary depression can be used as an impetus to help him find the last piece of puzzle on the Dragon Slaughter knife.

I took a bath in the bathroom and the ark fell asleep long ago.

The next day he got up in the morning bed, and he regained his spirit and went to the Mathematics Department building with a handout downloaded from the Internet.

Of all the buildings at Princeton University, the building of the Department of Mathematics is the tallest and symbolizes the extraordinary position of the Department of Mathematics here.

However, coming here, the Ark is not listening to profound lectures, it's just an elementary mathematical theory for undergraduates.

As for him, the winner of the Cole Prize in Mathematics, why sit here and listen to these basics, Gain suddenly remembered a book he had read in his spare time while lying in bed last night while studying at the Jinling University Library.

The book is the autobiography of Mr. Yang Zhenzhen, and there is a whole chapter about the memory of a generation of master Fermi.

In his autobiography, he mentioned that Fermi had advised him not to stay too long at Princeton Institute of Higher Studies because it was like a monastery.

Mr. Yang himself, his biggest impression of Fermi, was that he enjoyed interacting with students, not only was passionate about lectures, but even organized seminars himself, even bringing out six Nobel Prizes.

And he mentioned more than once that his ideal plan was to teach physics at a small Ivy College in the eastern United States after retirement, to write a book containing all the difficulties in physics that were often masked by words such as "well known”.

From Vera's letter, the Ark suddenly realized that it had ignored something “well known” while drilling into Gothibach's speculation.

Helfgott's thesis is very enlightening, but its own leapfrogging is too strong. While those things that were skipped were “obvious” for an ark, a lot of detail was omitted from those “obvious”.

Abstraction should be after careful work, but never before it is resolved.

The Ark hopes to pick up those things that have been too far away from it by remembering some of the basics, and look at them from a new perspective, and perhaps bring some inspiration to itself.

Quietly entering the classroom through the back door, the ark did not attract anyone's attention and a seat was found in the last row of the classroom.

The lecturer is Charles Feverman, the current director of mathematics - the legendary 12-year-old finishes calculus, 20-year-old already has Dr. Princeton, and 22-year-old teaches the plug-in general supergenius of the University of Chicago.

Charles looked up at the eye classroom, his gaze rested on the face of the ark for two seconds, apparently recognizing him, but did not say anything, but instead, as usual, lectured with his slow sleigh voice while boarding a book.

Princeton is not only a classroom, but also a grand priest, bringing together the strong players in the IMO competition, as well as geniuses from all over the United States and around the world.

Lectures to these geniuses are obviously not as confusing as regular university lectures.

Especially for professors who often commit so-so crimes.

Speaking of proof of prime theorem, Charles, with his back to the classroom, just wrote down the 20th line of formula, and someone raised their hand in the classroom.

“Professor, the Φ (S) function should have a value of 2, not 3! ”

Obviously, various proofs of prime theorem have been previewed.

Charles turned around and smiled calmly, as if he had a bamboo in his chest, and said slowly and slyly: “You're right, but believe it or not, even if I wrote this wrong step, I can still draw the same conclusion. ”

The student was stunned and a burst of whispering sounded in the classroom.

From that whispering voice, the ark felt these students incredible.

Not just these students, but the Ark itself feels a little bit like this.

His computational rigour is the highest, and even if he sometimes walks into a dead end, he will never make a mistake in computation.

But the ark did not say anything, but waited for the professor to finish the process.

Charles also did not speak, turning around and continuing to plate books with his back to the classroom.

Fifteen minutes later, when he wrote the final line of formula, everyone in the classroom stood still.

Especially the student who stood up and pointed out the wrong face was full of suspicious expressions of life.

That mistake was clearly there, but eventually...

He gave it to me!

“There are about ten or more methods of proof of prime theorem that I have studied myself. It's very important for computational rigour, but when we explore the frontier, more importantly, logical harmony, which is not just the foundation of mathematics, but the foundation of all science. As to why I can draw the same conclusion, because after trying many methods, I have found that many methods are in fact homogeneous…”

Charles laughed and gently erased the 3 behind the Φ (S) equals and changed it to 2 to continue, “Of course, this is just my scepticism about the mistake. Our Smith classmate is right, and the calculation here is really 2. However, both 2 and 3 satisfy the intervals we define by function zeta (x). ”

Obviously, the professor's familiarity with the process has reached the point of mind.

The Ark even suspected that he had deliberately misspelled it, taking pleasure in these little rookies.

Of course, the point of concern is not here.

“A special journey home...”

Chewing the phrase repeatedly, the ark was caught in contemplation.

Gradually, his eyes lit up.

The ark suddenly felt it in the vagueness.

The puzzle he was looking for was already in his hand...
