Three hours ago.
[Location: Princeton Institute of Mathematics.]
[People: Director of the Institute, famous mathematician Robert, and all the members of the Annual Mathematics review team.]
"Hey buddy, do you know what kind of shocking news the Annual Mathematics journal is going to release today?”
"Who knows? These mathematicians are weird. Who knows what big news they've created!”
"You guys are really outdated. According to my cousin…Yes, my cousin is a student of Professor Charles. She told me that the math prodigy Lester flew to the Institute of Mathematics overnight the day before yesterday to participate in the review of a literary theory.”
On the eve of the press conference, a group of reporters gathered together to brag and share the news they had.
" So, the news that Professor Robert is going to publish is related to that thesis?"”
" According to my cousin," Justin, a reporter from News Weekly," this paper might come from China, across the ocean!”
In an instant, all the reporters present were stunned and then burst into laughter.
"Please, stop joking! Annual Mathematics is the most authoritative mathematics journal in the world. Other than a few Chinese people, when have you ever seen a Chinese person publish a paper on it!”
"Justin, your joke is not funny at all! Everyone knew that China was a mathematics desert. In recent years, the only famous one was Mr. Zhao, who published a Topological Experimental Thesis 30 years ago. However, that was only published in ordinary mathematics magazines. It was not qualified to be published in the Annual Mathematics! Furthermore, the Annual Mathematics journal was so serious that they specially held a press conference for this!”
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. We can just ask Professor Robert when he comes out later.”
"Look, Professor Robert is here!”
The reporters immediately took action and rushed to the entrance of the press conference.
"Dear reporter friends, I understand everyone's urgency, but let me sit down and explain.”
Robert led the review team members and smiled at the reporters.
After everyone was seated, Robard sorted out his thoughts and said concisely,""There are three main things to talk about at today's press conference: First, only one thesis would be published in the next issue of Annual Mathematics. This was a sign of respect for the great mathematics world!”
The moment Robert finished speaking, the reporters present were in an uproar.
Ever since 90 years ago, Annual Mathematics published two to four theses each year. There had never been a single thesis published.
What kind of great thesis was it for the Annual Mathematics to make such a big decision?
All of a sudden, all the reporters became excited, keenly aware that this news was not simple.
"Second, the review team unanimously voted to invite Chinese mathematician Lin Yi to visit the Princeton Institute of Mathematics and give a seminar for his thesis!”
I knew it! I knew that my cousin didn't lie to me!
Among the reporters, Justin from the American News Weekly was so excited that he was trembling.
This was first-hand news. Fortunately, he had sent it back to the club in advance.
Looking at the reporters who were in a mess, Robert frowned slightly and knocked on the table.
"Silence!"
When all the reporters stopped talking, he continued,"Thirdly, the review team unanimously concluded that the proof process of the Poincaré conjecture by the Chinese mathematician Lin Yi was flawless! The press conference ends here!"
After saying that, Robert left the press conference with the review team.
They had left, but the reporters were all dumbfounded.
The Poincaré conjecture…was solved?
Was this an April Fool's joke?
Back in the millennium, the Global Mathematics Committee had selected seven difficult mathematical problems from various categories and called them the Seven Major Mathematical Problems.
Anyone who could solve any of the problems would be awarded a five million dollar prize.
Although the gold award was generous, it was not worth mentioning compared to the honor of solving the seven difficult problems.
It was almost certain that whoever could solve any of the questions would immediately win the Fields Gold Medal that year and stand proudly at the top of the world of mathematics!
However, despite the efforts of so many mathematicians around the world, they were still unable to solve any of the seven difficult problems.
"No, Justin, I'm a little dizzy! A hundred-year-old problem had been solved by a Chinese mathematician?”
"Hehe, you can continue to faint. I have to hurry up and interview Professor Robert!”
Justin grinned and left the press conference before anyone could react.
But…
Professor Robert didn't accept interviews at all. He was a respected mathematician, so the reporters didn't have the guts to play dirty tricks.
Fortunately, a few hours later, one of the members of the review team, the math prodigy Lester, took the initiative to look for the reporter.
"Hello, Professor Lester. I'm Justin from News Weekly. What do you think of the Poincaré conjecture paper by Chinese mathematician Lin Yi?”
Lester graduated with a Ph.D. in mathematics at the age of 20 and was a true child prodigy.
After that, he devoted himself to research for seven years and finally solved the Sphericalt-design conjecture. He won the Fields Gold Medal that year and was also the youngest winner of this award.
Lester took a deep breath, looked at the camera, and said slowly,""Actually, a month ago, I failed to study the Poincaré conjecture and decided that it was an unsolvable problem. I even thought that I didn't understand mathematics at all! But when I heard from Professor Robert that someone had solved the Poincaré conjecture, I desperately wanted to see that thesis.”
Lester smiled.
"I would like to thank Professor Robert for allowing me to join the review team.”
"After joining the review team, I finally saw the thesis that made me fascinated. It had to be said that it was so perfect, so fascinating!”
"Professor Lester, do you agree with the Chinese mathematician's thesis?" Justin asked.”
"No, it's not approval! It was worship! It was a perfect equation, a masterpiece of God!”
Pausing for a moment, Lester took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.
"If I can, I'm willing to be Professor Lin's lackey!”
