"Look, what a brilliant little sun! Its light illuminates the world, even more brilliantly than when I proved Fermat's Last Theorem!" Andrew whispered joyfully to Deligne, sharing his joyful feelings. His first presentation that year had ended in failure.
Of course, this did not affect his confidence and persistence in continuing his pursuit, and he still successfully proved Fermat's Last Theorem.
Deligne glanced at some people. "No one can compare to you!" After all, this person set many records in the lecture! Is it fun to tease them? Not everyone is as bad as him.
"Hehe... Life has to have some fun. I'm having fun holding lectures, but Perelman didn't even hold one. Isn't that even more willful?"
"The youngest winner of the Philippine Medal has been born! Wu Jiang will be unprecedented at this age!" As Wu Tong's story came to an end, this was the thought that flashed through the minds of all the participants.
Currently, the youngest Fields Medal winner in the world is Jean-Pierre Searle, who won the Fields Medal in 1953 at the age of less than 28. He set the record as the youngest winner of the award, and no one has broken it so far.
Wu Tong is not yet eighteen years old, and she will be twenty-one when the next Fields Medal is awarded. This is to make way for those who need it more. Even if it is delayed for one year, Wu Tong will only be twenty-five years old and will still be the youngest Fields Medal winner.
However, who can make Wu Tong give way? Who can deny that with the speed at which Wu Tong creates results, she will not be able to produce even more shocking results before the next International Congress of Mathematicians?
Under these circumstances, not awarding Wu Tong the Fields Medal would be a serious blow to the medal's prestige, not a loss for Wu Tong. The Fields Medal has never been awarded to those nearing their age, but rather to young people who have made significant contributions to mathematics.
It's very likely that Wu Tong will lower the minimum age requirement for the Fields Medal by seven years, creating an insurmountable gap! At 21, while others may not even have graduated from college, she already holds the Fields Medal.
In other words, she is just about to become an adult, and at the age when others are preparing to go to college, she has already set her sights on booking the Fields Medal. How shocking!
"By introducing the theorem, we can see that any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers. I am sure that I have given a perfect answer!" In the one and a half hour report, Wu Tong spent half of the time to express the method she created. Once the method came out, the result was just a natural thing.
Once this new method was unveiled, the leading scholars at the forefront understood that proving the Goldbach conjecture was merely a process. Proving the conjecture might have been astounding, but for those who truly understood it, the emergence of this new method was the true essence.
New methods mean new progress in mathematics. People who truly love mathematics are always happy about it.
There was no particular time limit, and Wu Tong's report was detailed, clear, and there was nothing to fault with. The experts in the front row all had no objections, and those in the back row with a stronger foundation also understood a lot.
If you really don't understand, there's nothing you can do. Even if Wu Tong breaks it down and explains it again, without a certain foundation, you still won't understand.
Among them, only one percent can really play it and understand it.
There are only so many top scientists in the world. Mathematics has always been a game for geniuses, and the top circle is even more niche. They come to join in the fun for the Goldbach conjecture. They don’t care if they don’t understand it, because they have already expected it.
It's not that the speaker was bad, but that they didn't have the basics. Didn't the experts in the front row have any complaints? They just wanted to witness the proof of the Goldbach conjecture in person, so that they could talk about it in their resumes and feel proud of it.
As Wu Tong finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time. Led by the top experts in the front row, the entire audience stood up to thank Wu Tong for his new contribution to mathematics, for giving the "Ge Guess" a perfect ending and for lifting another huge mountain for the mathematical community.
Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu clapped their hands vigorously, their excitement and excitement almost went to their heads. The girl who performed so well on the stage was their daughter, their Tongtong, their Tongtong, the best. Look, the whole audience was paying tribute to him.
Their Tongtong is a mathematician, a great mathematician!
Wu Jingzhong felt like he could only smile foolishly at this moment, and Jin Yu herself wasn't much better. However, he still had a shred of rationality, and he poked his lover, who was grinning so hard that her mouth reached her ears. "Be reserved, be reserved, stand up for Tongtong and don't let people laugh at you!"
Wu Tong stood on the stage, bowing to the audience. A faint smile played on her face. This academic conference had reached the end of the ninety-nine steps, and only one step was left before it was truly accepted by the entire audience.
When the applause gradually died down, Wu Tong raised her hand and lightly pressed the button. The people present took their seats. She then asked the final question: "Does anyone have any questions?"
However, for a long time, no one in the audience raised their hands. None of the big guys in the front row moved, and naturally, no one in the back had the nerve to expose their ignorance.
The most important outcome of the entire conference lies with the big guys in the front row. The small fry are only there to witness history and truly learn.
"Does everyone have any questions about my presentation?" Wu Tong waited a moment, a little surprised, before speaking again. Generally speaking, at an academic conference like this, especially one focused on the Goldbach conjecture, there would be plenty of people finding faults and raising questions. Although she was confident that she had prepared thoroughly, she didn't expect anyone to find fault.
"Wu, you should have confidence in your own rigor and thoroughness." A tall, elderly man stood up in the front row. "Hello, Wu Tong. I'm Langlands R. Rather than looking for a perfect answer to an impossible problem, I'd like to ask you for your sieve circle method, where it can be integrated with the Langlands Program...especially the Hibbert modular form!"
"Mr. Langlands, it's nice to meet you. ... When two prime numbers are divided, is the remainder a perfect square? The quadratic reciprocity law reveals the fascinating relationship between prime numbers p and q. Is the remainder of p divided by q a perfect square...? And "Is the remainder of q divided by p a perfect square? Gauss once proved..."
In response to Langlands' question, Wu Tong pondered for a moment and then gave a complete explanation, cleverly building a bridge between her infinite sieve method and the Langlands program, which is regarded as the grand unification of mathematics, and relating number theory, algebraic geometry and reduced group representation theory. Their relationship is deep and close.
As Wu Tong answered, the light in Langlands' eyes became brighter and brighter. Those who could understand what he said in the front row couldn't help but follow his lead and were amazed.
