Chapter 96: Crazy?

Alvin sighed deeply, "I'll report it to the higher-ups and let the experts make the final decision. This is beyond our ability to judge!"

He cannot just be the one to worry about the headache. Pioneers like them can only be regarded as the newcomers in the mathematics community. They have to do trivial work like booking venues, arranging venues, contacting presenters to track down manuscripts, checking format... As for reviewing, that is the job of the top guys in the mathematics committee!

He could foresee that those big guys would be as shocked and troubled as he was.

Originally, they just wanted Wu Tong to organize the results of the twin prime conjecture and send it to them as a report, which would have been a very good report. Who could have imagined that the genius's brain circuit was obviously different from theirs, and he actually threw such a heavy bombshell to them - a super heavyweight new result?

Whether this result is really proven or the genius is proud of his mistakes, the big guys above him will have to work overtime to verify it. There are less than 20 days before the opening of the conference, and this 70-80 page paper is going to give those big guys a headache!

As for the result, if it passes, it will shock the world and witness the rise and birth of a miracle; if it is falsified, this genius will face the ridicule of the whole world and miss the opportunity and honor of attending the World Congress of Mathematicians.

He actually hoped that it would pass. On the one hand, it would be a honor for him to have followed up on it personally. On the other hand, he would have to contact a new reporter again, which would undoubtedly be a disaster!

Professor John Bowles, the chief of the organizing committee for this International Congress of Mathematicians, had just finished his breakfast and was feeling that he was getting older and now got much less sleep than when he was young.

I looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the sun shining brightly.

When he woke up in the morning, he could already see that the weather was sunny, a beautiful sight rarely seen even in the fog. This made him feel very happy.

When the email message rang, he had already thought about what to eat for lunch, from the weather. Borneo is really not a country of gourmet food. If the hotel quality was not very good, he probably would not be confident about his food.

"A message so early in the morning? Those guys down there are just not stable!" John Bowles muttered, and opened the email to see what urgent matter it was that disturbed his rest time so early!

Isn't the work of the organizing committee basically over? Otherwise, he can't enjoy such leisure time, can't he let the old man take a break?

The work of the organizing committee is really not a job for humans, he will definitely not take over next time!

In the previous session, he was already driven to death by the willful Perelman. The prover of the Millennium Problem, the Poincare Conjecture, was ultimately not allowed to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians and receive the Fields Medal. This made the previous International Congress of Mathematicians somewhat overshadowed, and the glory of the Fields Medal also dimmed.

However, when he opened the email and saw the title and abstract clearly, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

It's another restless International Congress of Mathematicians. Next time he takes on such a damn job, I'll turn him into a mosquito in the foggy city and keep him drenched in the rain.

Should we always disrespect the elderly like this? He now announced that he hated variables the most.

He knew that the speaker had made a mistake and had been replaced by the recently famous Oriental genius. Although he could not deny that he was impressed by the Oriental genius's age, her achievements were outstanding. Whether it was Zhou's conjecture or the twin prime conjecture, they were both extremely outstanding achievements in the international mathematics community this year, and she was still so young!

Both times he received praise and admiration from Andrew Wiles, the Englishman who won the FIFA World Championships. That is why he decided to appoint this young genius as the reporter for the remedial event.

"A new group proof method and proof of Polignac's conjecture? Using the infinite extension principle of topology into the sieve method, using the infinity of group theory... creating an infinite group proof method, and ultimately proving Polignac's conjecture? My Jesus, don't scare your loyal lamb, is this world crazy?" Bowles patted his chest, made the sign of the cross and prayed. He was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest!

We are all math geeks, so who doesn't know the Polignac conjecture? Now that oriental girl said that she proved the Polignac conjecture with a new method? Wait... didn't she just prove the twin prime conjecture half a month ago? Two conjectures in one month?

Is he crazy, is he seeing things wrong because of his old eyesight, or is this world crazy?

How can such a major achievement be made public and reported at a mathematician's congress without rigorous and thorough verification? In less than 20 days, the International Congress of Mathematicians will open!

What kind of nightmare is this? Let him wake up immediately.

Damn it, he can't be the only one suffering. Those who play with number theory, Andrew, Albert, Tao Terence, Qiu... and those bad guys who are lazy and squeeze the work out of him, an old man, Deligne, Feldman... and Witten, don't even think of sitting idle, they have to do the calculations and verifications for him!

It was decided happily. We should work together and not let him bear all the responsibilities alone. There is a Chinese saying that says, "When there is good fortune, we share it together, and when there is disaster, we share the burden." It is really well said!

No matter what, if it is really proven, the progress of mathematics will always make people happy. Don’t they hold the International Congress of Mathematicians to discuss and exchange new progress?

So, Bowles knocked on them one by one, and when Wu Tong was busy with her free time, she didn't know what kind of bustle and shock her butterfly wings had caused in the top circles of the entire mathematics community.

In Princeton, at Andrew Wiles' residence, he was still listening to gorgeous music, quietly enjoying the beauty of the night.

People in the world don't understand the beauty of the night. When the phone rang, he frowned and answered it: "My dear John, you know, it's late at night in Country M, my best time."

So, you'd better have something urgent.

"The oriental genius you praised!"

"Oh, you mean Wu? Yes, she's a very interesting kid. Her twin prime conjecture is very interesting. If it weren't for the late hour, I would be happy to recommend her to give a one-hour report!"

"Haha... maybe I don't need your recommendation. I checked my mailbox now. I sent you a paper. Your little friend claims that she has proved the Polignac conjecture again! Review it, Andrew. I'll notify others!" Bowers hung up the phone and moved on to the next one. No matter the time difference, he is working here and he is the center of attention.

"Polignac's conjecture?" Andrew was so shocked that he almost crushed the red wine glass in his hand. "This kid can really surprise people with miraculous things!"

If it is really proven, the one-hour report does not need his recommendation, and the organizing committee will be able to pave the way for such a major achievement!
