Chapter 513: A Mathematical Problem That Could Impact the World
By the late 19th century, highly developed mathematics could no longer be mastered by a few geniuses, nor could it be advanced independently by one or two countries.
So, mathematicians at that time began to spread the concept of international mathematical cooperation.
The first International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Zurich, Switzerland in 1897. At that time, China was still in the last feudal dynasty era, the rd year of the Guangxu period.
Since the first Congress of Mathematicians, mathematicians from all over the world have met regularly to discuss current and future mathematical problems.
In 1919, the general meeting of the International Research Council held in Brussels passed the proposal to establish the International Mathematical Union. The following year, the International Mathematical Union was officially established.
The original intention of the International Mathematical Union was to promote international cooperation in mathematics.
As time goes by, the International Mathematical Union has also assumed more responsibilities, such as encouraging and supporting other international activities that can promote the development of mathematical science, supporting the publication and distribution of scientific materials in the field of mathematics, providing advice for international mathematical activities or other international organizations engaged in similar activities, and promoting international exchanges between mathematicians and mathematics learners.
But by now, the International Mathematical Union has already quietly changed its nature.
Although its status in the mathematical community has not changed much.
However, a long time ago, he no longer enjoyed the same respect as before.
now.
At the headquarters of the International Mathematical Union, upon receiving the news from the East, the face of this term's President of the International Mathematical Union, Lovadant, suddenly became extremely ugly.
He knew very well what the NS equation represented.
Even clearer is the appeal of this mathematical puzzle to mathematicians.
He never imagined that this matter would ferment to this extent.
He did know that the International Conference on Mathematics Education did not send an invitation letter to Wang Donglai.
In his opinion, it was just a small matter.
Even if the invitation letter is sent, Wang Donglai may not necessarily attend.
Just go with the flow and do a favor, it won't have much of an impact.
Perhaps, by the time this mathematics education conference is over, Wang Donglai may not even know about this.
Before doing this, Lowa had thought about it over and over again in his mind.
No matter how you think about it, there won't be any mistakes.
However, the facts slapped him in the face.
It didn't develop at all as he expected.
When news came out that Tangdu Jiaotong University was preparing to hold an international mathematics exchange conference, and Wang Donglai would prove the NS equation at the conference.
Lowa had no way to ease the relationship.
Now, there are only two choices before Lowa.
One is to continue to persevere and stick to the previous approach.
One is to apologize and admit defeat to Wang Donglai.
There is no third option.
It can be said that when Tangdu Jiaotong University came up with the killer weapon of NS equation, Lowa had no choice.
Now, I don’t know how many scholars are expressing their protest.
Even if he is the current president of the International Mathematical Union, it will be of no avail.
"Mr. Lowa, what you did this time was really too much. I can't believe you would do this."
"When the news first came out, I thought it was an April Fool's joke, but unfortunately, it wasn't!"
"You are discriminating against a top mathematician who proved the ABC conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture, and he is also preparing to make public the process of his proof of the NS equation."
"I just can't imagine what was going through your mind when you made this decision."
"I have no intention of criticizing you. I just think this matter must be properly resolved."
"The academic circle should remain pure, and the fairness and justice of academia should not be affected by things outside of academia."
“This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of other Princeton professors.”
"Mr. Lowa, I hope to hear good news from you!"
Before Lowa could speak, the call was hung up.
"Damn Deligne!"
Lowa held the phone in his hand, anger evident on his face, and cursed indignantly.
The call just now was from Deligne in Princeton.
They didn't give him any face at all and didn't care about his status as the chairman of the alliance.
After all, Deligne has the qualifications.
And there was nothing Lowa could do, and it was even more impossible for him to take action against Deligne just because Deligne said that.
It is not only due to the limitation of his ability, but also because if Lowa really wants to do this, there will be too many people for him to take revenge on.
Since the news spread, many people, like Deligne, have called him.
Not surprisingly, the purpose of these people calling was to criticize him and want him to take the initiative to apologize to Wang Donglai.
Deligne is not the first, and will not be the last!
However, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Soon, Lowa received another call.
Originally, Lowa was not going to answer the call, but when he saw the caller ID, he hesitated for a moment and chose to answer it.
"Mr. Lowa, I need an explanation!"
"Why did the International Mathematical Union make such a decision? What about the minutes of the executive committee? I think it's time to make them public!"
"I don't think there is much to say about Academician Wang's contribution to mathematics, but I am very disappointed with how the International Mathematical Union did it!"
"Now, Academician Wang is going to hold an international mathematics exchange conference and publicly present the process of proving the NS equation at the conference. I think Mr. Lowa should also be very clear about what this means."
"The International Mathematical Union is an organization of all mathematicians and mathematics enthusiasts in the world. It is not a place for a single person to abuse his power for personal gain. We all hope and are happy to see the emergence of mathematical geniuses like Academician Wang."
"Because only when there are more mathematical geniuses can the subject of mathematics be pushed to a higher level, which is a good thing for all those who devote themselves to the field of mathematics."
"So, to stifle a mathematical genius and suppress a mathematical genius is an unforgivable mistake."
"I will bring this up during the general meeting and then have it voted on by all."
"Mr. Lowa, if you still have a way to save the situation, please act as soon as possible. I will decide whether to really do it based on your approach and the results!"
The person who called was Carlos, the director of the Clay Institute.
As the director of the Clay Institute, Carlos not only has a unique status in the academic circle, but also in other fields.
After all, the Clay Institute is not short of money.
For solving seven difficult math problems, a reward of seven million was offered.
This kind of courage is not something that an ordinary research institute can possess. However, Lowa understands it more clearly and knows the true capabilities of the Clay Research Institute.
So, when I saw Carlos calling, I didn't dare not answer the call.
"Mr. Carlos, I think you should know the cause of this incident."
“I can’t make this decision alone.”
"I would never have done this without the White House's instruction. I also know the importance of a mathematical genius and what it means to the field of mathematics."
"After all, I am also a mathematician. When I made this decision, I didn't want to do it."
"But, I have no way to change it."
"I didn't do much. I just didn't send Wang Donglai an invitation letter when I held an unimportant international conference."
"Even if we send him this invitation, he may not come to attend."
"If this matter had not been discovered, it would have been a perfect result."
"As for the White House, we have explained it to them, and it will not affect Wang Donglai's research. After all, he will not attend this international conference."
"As for the current situation, I am also helpless."
After all, Lowa was in this position, so his mind worked quickly and he immediately came up with a plausible explanation.
As an old fox, Carlos naturally knew the loopholes in Lowa's words.
"Mr. Lowa, it's useless for you to explain so much to me!"
"What's important now is that things have already happened. What I need is how to solve this matter, not your explanation."
"At present, Tangdu Jiaotong University has announced that the invitation letter for this academic exchange conference will not be sent to scholars from the Sakura Country."
“I don’t want news that invitations will not be sent to scholars from the International Mathematical Union, or other scandals related to the Mathematical Union.”
Upon hearing the news, Lowa's face suddenly changed and became ugly.
"Mr. Carlos, I don't think this is something that deserves praise either. Tangdu Jiaotong University has also violated..."
Before Lowa could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carlos.
"Mr. Lowa, I think you haven't understood what I mean. I'm not here to listen to your explanation. I just want to see how you deal with this matter."
“I hope the way you handle this won’t disappoint me!”
"Because if I'm disappointed, I think it might have some negative effects on you too!"
After saying that, Carlos hung up the phone.
The continuous phone calls had already filled Lowa's mind with anger.
In this matter, he was clearly just an executor, but he bore the greatest responsibility.
However, no matter how angry or furious he was, Lowa could only keep it in his heart.
However, this does not mean that Lowa is ready to give in.
He wanted to delay a bit to see whether Wang Donglai had really proved the NS equation.
He even considered whether to use the power of the bald eagle to prohibit scholars from going to China to attend this academic exchange conference.
……
the other side.
When Lowa was overwhelmed by this matter.
Wang Donglai and Xu Songyao did not feel relieved either.
Since the news came out, Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai’s phones have been flooded with calls.
Among these calls, there are official ones, those from major universities across the country, and those from well-known scholars at home and abroad.
There were even some unexpected calls.
The purpose of these calls is very simple, that is, the NS equation.
Wang Donglai and Xu Songyao certainly would not say that the NS equation has not been proved yet. In the face of everyone's enthusiastic questioning, they only invited everyone to participate in this academic exchange conference, and they would know the result then.
And this is just the case when the call can be made directly.
More scholars and institutions were unable to even get through by phone, so they chose another way to contact us.
That was to send an email to Tangdu Jiaotong University and Wang Donglai, expressing his desire to participate in this academic exchange conference.
Both Wang Donglai and Xu Songyao welcomed this very much.
The more scholars who can come to participate, the stronger the counterattack against the International Mathematical Union will be.
Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai's straightforward attitude also filled everyone with confidence.
After all, the fact that they were so willing to invite everyone here must mean that they were very confident in the proof of the NS equation and were not afraid of people questioning and verifying it on the spot.
As a result, Tangdu Jiaotong University became the center of discussion.
Countless people are also looking forward to the convening of the Mathematics Exchange Conference.
Another international mathematics education conference held on the same day was tacitly forgotten by everyone.
The scholars who had originally received the invitation letters all chose to refuse, or gave up their places and went to China to attend the mathematics exchange conference.
As time went by, the impact of this storm became increasingly greater.
Especially after the NS equation came out.
The importance of this equation is so great that it is unimaginable and is no longer limited to the field of mathematics.
If the NS equations have a global solution, many technologies related to fluid mechanics will see great breakthroughs, including but not limited to aerospace, rocket engines, weather forecasting, pipeline transportation, medical blood flow modeling, etc.
Everything from airplanes and rockets to computer radiators will benefit from this, as will additional research on the atmosphere and oceans. Weather forecasts will become more accurate.
These are all positive impacts.
As for the negative impact, it directly announced the death of the computational fluid dynamics industry. There is no need to consider RANS, LES, and DNS. Just use the instantaneous solution of the NS equation directly.
Most wind tunnels can also be closed directly, so there is no need for wind tunnel testing.
Of course, hypersonic wind tunnels can still be retained because they involve real gas effects.
The study of turbulence will not die immediately, but its only use is to promote human’s intuitive understanding of flow. Turbulence models will die directly along with CFD.
In fluid mechanics, only a few branches that cannot be completely dominated by the classical NS equations, such as rarefied gas dynamics, microflow, non-Newtonian fluids, multiphase flow, and magnetohydrodynamics, will continue to be active.
It is precisely because of the importance of solving the NS equation that, beyond the public outcry, there is a surge hidden in the dark.
If it is confirmed that Wang Donglai has proved this difficult mathematical problem, it will bring new impetus to the development of multiple industries in China. Combined with China's strong industrial capabilities, it will further expand the practical significance of the NS equation.
Therefore, at this moment, the academic exchange conference that Tangdu Jiaotong University is going to hold has long gone beyond the original scope of academic exchange, but has a high significance related to future development and national strategy. (End of this chapter)
