Chapter 432: Just Hit Me With Money

After returning from Brazil, the Ark began to study the phenomenon of plasma turbulence.

Although not closed, his life is fairly regular, basically between the bedroom, Princeton Institute of Higher Studies and PPPL Laboratory at 3: 00.

In terms of difficulty, studying the phenomenon of plasma turbulence is not much easier than studying the nature of NS equations.

Moreover, the difficulty of both is even greater than agreeing to the above difficulties.

The latter is equivalent to using abstract mathematical tools to prove the existence and smoothness of the solution. The former, on the other hand, is equivalent to finding a “special solution” to a particular type of problem for the specific case of the three-dimensional NS equation.

Until now, the mathematical community has obtained only about a hundred special solutions to NS equations for different problems, most of which either erase time items or are limited to two-dimensional conditions.

As for CFD, or applied mathematics, most of the results are imaginary models that incorporate empirical formulas and empirical parameters, and the reference is not very meaningful for an ark.

And that means that the ship has to do this daunting work from scratch, without even the literature to draw upon.

Of course, he's not completely devoid of anything to rely on.

For example, the L-shape he created when studying the NS equation was a very useful theoretical tool for him.

Not only that, but after returning from the conference, his mathematical grade had been upgraded from LV6 to LV7, with only 3 levels left until the LV10 was full, and his talents in mathematics and his intuition of numbers were no longer the same as they had been a few weeks earlier.

Even without 10 percent certainty, the ship has over 90 percent certainty that it can solve the problem.

At best, it just takes a little time...

Just back in the third week of Princeton, August drew to a close, and the ship finally received a letter from the Clay Institute.

[Dear Professor Ark, I am James Carlson, Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

[Based on the comments of the anonymous twelve reviewers, and referring to the International Mathematical Union, we believe you have completed proof of the existence and smoothness of the NS equation solution.

[The solution to this problem will have a great impetus for the development and application of mathematical theory, and we sincerely thank you for your contribution to the development of science in mathematics and the world at large.

[In the opinion of your collaborator, Professor Charles Louis Feverman, we are confident that your work will make a decisive contribution on this issue. Therefore, after a vote by the Board of Trustees of the Clay Institute, we have decided to award you a $1 million bonus in advance…]

It's early because every "Millennium Mathematics Difficulty” is solved and not immediately awarded.

It is stipulated that any solution must be published in a world-renowned mathematical journal for at least two years and endorsed by the mathematical community before it is possible for the Scientific Advisory Board of the Clay Institute of Mathematics to review and decide whether to award the million-dollar prize.

However, such provisions are not absolute.

Perelman's thesis, for example, was never published in the "World Prestige" mathematics journal, and Carlson, then director of the Clay Institute, visited the hermit in St. Petersburg for less than two years...

Of course, even though Carlson didn't see Perelman in the end.

Given that the Ark's report would be held in the form of a thematic report at the International Congress of Mathematicians and that all controversial parts had been answered, it did not seem necessary to continue to wait for what had already been agreed by academia.

The Clay Institute then made such a decision.

In addition, the terms of the award were attached to the e-mail from the Clay Institute.

As the century proposition announced at the Millennium Conference, Carlson's view was that it would be desirable to hold this awards ceremony with greater seriousness.

The award was awarded at the French Academy in Paris, where the Clay Institute announced the challenges of millennium mathematics. A special award ceremony will be held between the Clay Institute and the European Mathematical Institute to award him this million dollar prize.

No one knows what kind of ritual it is.

Because Perelman, who proved Pongale's conjecture, was so unique that the award ceremony, even if planned more than a decade ago, had never been held.

For Carlson's invitation, if it had been a month ago, Ark Heung would have bought a ticket to fly over and won the prize, after all, for a million dollars.

But now, his study of the phenomenon of plasma turbulence is at a critical juncture and he is neither willing nor interested in travelling far away.

After a moment of reflection, the Ark politely replied to an email indicating that it was not taking the time to fly to Paris during the critical period it was studying. At the same time, however, he indicated in his letter that he did not refuse a one-million dollar bonus and attached his card account at the end of the message.

If you say so, just hit me directly with the money on the card.

As for medals or certificates, if you must send them to me, you can also send them by mail...

When I saw this email, Carlson almost didn't have a bite of blood on the screen.

This is even more annoying than Perelman, who gave him a closed-door spoon.

Forget the freak who shuts the door and doesn't see people. What kind of operation is it to let him hit the money directly?!

How can a prover of a millennium dilemma be a stranger than one?!

In response to an email, Carlson's words firmly told the Ark that it was impossible.

As for the reason, it's simple!

Millennial problems had been killed two times, and the awards ceremony planned by the Clay Institute for more than a decade had not been held once. If you wanted to receive the award, you would have to come to Paris in person anyway.

Of course, in his reply, Professor Carlson also said slowly that he understood how important research coherence was to one scholar.

If the ark is unable to spare time, they are willing to discuss a suitable award date with him and choose to hold the award ceremony.

Seeing Professor Carlson's reply, the Ark had a terrible headache for these guys' formalism.

The Clay Institute is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, not too far away, and he doesn't even have to fly if he wants to, and his Ford Explorer can get there.

However, they were reluctant to present their awards at their doorstep and had to run across the Atlantic to the French Academy in Paris for the awards ceremony.

And that sounds like a waste of at least a week.

This is unacceptable for an ark that is engaged in an interesting study.

Thinking about it, the Ark continued to edit a reply.

[… I can't give you an exact time, but maybe I can take the time to get the award after my research on plasma turbulence has been fruitful.

When the mail was edited, the ark clicked Send, then shut down the mailbox and continued thinking about experimental data on the computer for half a year.

Far after Professor Carlson of the Clay Institute in Massachusetts saw the e-mail, he did not say a word, but looked at his secretary, Daft, silently.

Daft sighed and patted Professor Carlson on the shoulder, silently comforting him: "… this is probably the most euphemistic refusal. ”

Although he is not a fluid mechanic or even an academic, the uniqueness of the Clay Institute exposes him to research advances in many frontier areas.

Turbulence is a famous chaotic system and a problem that has left many physicists and mathematicians unprepared.

Not to mention the object of the study is plasma…

In his view, the e-mail was almost equivalent to a rejection.

With his eyes off his nose, Carlson's arm rested on the table and his eyebrows pinched with a headache.

“I don't understand… why? Why is it so hard to send money? ”

He really felt tired.

He had that feeling when he had previously served as Director, and now retired from the second line as Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, and his feelings remained the same.

He doesn't want anything now, his only wish is to stand in the hall of the French Academy before retiring, awarding million-dollar prizes and medals of honor to the solvers of the millennium problem.

But how can it be so difficult to achieve this wish?

I've solved both of them...
