Reborn mosquito, wreaking havoc on your life!

Chapter 144 The most vicious curse in the world!
Terence Tao used scratches on tree bark to record the days and spent ten years in this dream world.

For ten years, he lived a carefree life, devoted himself to studying mathematics, and solved one difficult problem after another.

He has summarized more than one hundred new mathematical theorems and formulas.

These achievements shine brightly in his mind, and every formula is the crystallization of his wisdom.

However, despite his academic success, he was not happy.

He sat by the stream, looking into the clear water, gazing at his own reflection in the water.

Ten years later, he shows almost no signs of aging except for his long hair and stubble.

His face still retains its youthful look, without any change.

"What do you mean? I am forever young in this dream world?"

Terence Tao talked to himself, his voice echoing by the stream.

An invisible chill spread through his heart, making him feel suffocated.

"I won't age, which means I have unlimited time to study mathematics."

He thought to himself.

But soon, an extremely terrifying guess emerged from deep in my heart:

Does eternal youth mean that he is immortal?

Eternal life is something that everyone in the world yearns for.

But if there really were people in this world who were immortal and indestructible, that would be the most vicious curse in the world!
Eternal life means having unlimited time to do all kinds of things.

It's fun in the beginning, but you'll get tired of it eventually.

In the endless passage of time, all new things will eventually become bland.

Driving a Ferrari for the first time is a novelty.

The ten thousandth time you drive a Ferrari, you’ll feel numb.

If you play League of Legends a thousand times, you might become addicted.

Playing League of Legends 100 million times will only make you sick.

No matter what it is, it takes a few years or even hundreds of years from the initial surprise and novelty to the numbness later.

The mind becomes numb, and the body becomes numb as well.

eternal life?

The lifespan of the sun is 10 billion years. After 10 billion years, the sun's hydrogen fuel will be exhausted, and it will expand into a red giant and die.

Ten billion years is to eternal life what a moment after a hangover is, maybe even less than a second.

When a person is so accustomed to the destruction of the sun that it does not bring any sense of "novelty" to him.

Then life would only be endless pain.

However, Terence Tao did not pay attention to this matter for the time being.

He once again devoted all his attention to mathematical research.

As the years passed, in his second decade, he made breakthroughs in the mathematical modeling of neural networks.

He used mathematical formulas to depict countless layers of recursive relationships, outlining an unprecedented algorithmic architecture.

This structure not only exceeded his expectations, but also had a profound impact on breakthroughs in the field of mathematics.

However, when the year passed, he looked at his reflection in the water again and found that he still looked the same as he did twenty years ago.

Time has not left any trace on him.

This state of immortality surprised him a little, but Tao didn't let himself get too hung up on it.

He continued to climb the mountain of mathematics.

In the third decade of Dream World, Tao turned his attention to cryptography and information theory.

He studied the minimum path and maximum density of information transmission, pushing the core principles of cryptography to a new level.

Tao gradually solved the problem of encoding and decoding quantum state information and established a unique encryption mechanism. This achievement is epoch-making and makes Tao excited.

When he finished this study and looked again at his reflection in the water, his features remained unchanged.

Is he really immortal?

Never grow old?
Tao Zhexuan didn't care about these. He continued to immerse himself in high-dimensional topology and manifold mathematics.

The multi-dimensional structure of topology and the exquisiteness of complex geometry are like steep mountains.

In the third decade, Terence Tao solved several difficult problems that had plagued the topology community for many years and constructed a new theory.

This year, he remains young.

Terence Tao continues to devote all his energy to scientific research.

In the years that followed, the fourth decade, the fifth decade, the sixth decade...

Tao gradually dabbled in non-Euclidean geometry, complex geometry, and Hodge theory, pushing these areas of mathematics to a whole new level.

He constructed common rules between different geometries and revealed mathematical truths hidden at a deeper level.

If these achievements were released in the real world, they would surely cause a stir in the mathematical community.

However, in this dream world that no one shares.

Terence Tao is alone, like an isolated ancient city in the desert, with countless treasures but no one knows about it.

Through day after day of research, Terence Tao tirelessly digs in the wasteland of knowledge.

In the 104th year of dream time, Terence Tao did not make any breakthroughs in mathematics.

He suddenly realized that he was stuck!
His mathematical research had come to an end.

In any case, he was unable to make further breakthroughs in existing mathematical theories.

Tao Terence tried various methods to get rid of the bottleneck, but he was powerless.

The answer is simple.

When a discipline develops to a certain level, breakthroughs not only rely on individual efforts, but sometimes also require the context of the times as a foundation.

Just like in the Stone Age, there would be no computers.

In feudal times, there would be no physics.

All the mathematical research done by Terence Tao in the first hundred years was theoretical research.

In theoretical mathematical research based on the mathematical system formed by the earth in the 21st century, Terence Tao has reached a bottleneck.

If you want to make another breakthrough, you need the background of the times as the soil.

For example, a mathematical problem in nonlinear dynamics may have 10 trillion solutions, where one trillion is equal to 100 billion.

The amount of astronomical mathematical calculations is simply beyond the ability of Terence Tao to calculate alone.

Need supercomputer help.

The supercomputer has a computing speed of 8162 trillion operations per second, which allows it to solve this math problem in seconds.

And he was in this dream world, which was beyond the reach of supercomputers.

Even if Terence Tao spent countless years manually calculating the mathematical problem of nonlinear dynamics, it would not contribute to any breakthrough in the field of mathematics.

Because breakthroughs in mathematics are sometimes driven by breakthroughs in interdisciplinary fields.

For example, breakthroughs in genomics in biology have prompted mathematical research into the properties of complex networks.

Structural analysis problems in engineering have promoted the study of numerical analysis and partial differential equations in mathematics.

Breakthroughs in quantum mechanics in physics have promoted mathematicians' research on linear algebra.

When the development of a discipline stagnates, it is sometimes not because the scientists are incompetent, but rather that they are waiting for breakthroughs in other fields.

"With my talent for mathematics, I have reached a bottleneck in today's world and cannot make any progress."

Terence Tao said in a low voice, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his voice.
