Chapter 326: Tao Zhexuan at Full Power

Honestly, Xu Chuan was almost amused by these comments.

What if I can understand this paper, it should not be able to solve the millennium problem. If I can't understand this paper, then I'd better not read it.

To some extent, this is true.

Because cutting-edge scientific theories, whether mathematics or physics, are basically far away from the general public.

How far away are they?

Probably some mathematical and physical symbols in these papers, you don't even know what they are called, and you can't read them.

In this case, it can be said that most of the netizens who eat melons really can't understand cutting-edge scientific papers.

As for Professor Jiang Kangcai's theoretical paper, although it was indeed published in an SCI journal, it was not a top journal that accepted his paper.

It was a magazine called Entropy, a physics type.

This is an international and interdisciplinary journal that mainly publishes research on entropy and information, publishing reviews, regular research papers and briefs.

The goal is to encourage scientists to publish as many details of their theories and experiments as possible. There is no limit to the length of the paper.

Since it is encouraging, it means that its review is not difficult. According to the impact factor, he remembers that it seems to be less than 2.5?

SCI is indeed, but it can only be regarded as medium or even below medium.

If the paper is submitted, it will most likely be classified into the second or third zone of the SCI search.

And in the past few years, Entropy journal was also included in the international journal warning list on the grounds that the journal's academic content is not true.

How to say it, this type of journal is okay as a place to collect inspiration or ideas, but as an academic journal of cutting-edge science, forget it.

After reading the news, Xu Chuan threw his phone aside. To him, this was just a joke.

As for responding to the Washington Times, he didn't have so much time to pay attention to this notorious media.

"Professor, are you not going to respond?" Gu Bing, who was paying attention to the situation here, couldn't help asking after seeing him throw his phone aside.

In his opinion, this was a complete slander and insult to his mentor, which was unbearable!

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said, "It's a complete waste of time to deal with such media."

"If I really responded to them, it would be to add heat and traffic to them. Why bother with such people? Just watch for fun. With this time, it's better to do something good for yourself."

Gu Bing opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

Xu Chuan didn't care too much. To be honest, if he hadn't been reborn once, he would probably have directly fought back at his current age.

But now, he was calm.

It was Terence Tao who was involved. Maybe he might "publish" his views and opinions online.

On the other hand, as Xu Chuan expected.

At this moment, Terence Tao was firing on all cylinders online.

After noticing that The Washington Times had involved him, he directly logged into his blog and responded to the matter directly.

[First: I have never supported the theory of Professor Kangcai Jiang of Rice University, and I haven't even read his theory and papers! ]

[Second: I have always expected that the NS equation has a smooth solution! ]

[Third: The Washington Times is an unscrupulous media. In the past, it mainly fabricated rumors and news to discredit others. It has no spirit of news media! ]

[Fourth: Regarding the paper I wrote in 2015 on constructing a counterexample to the NS equation, it does not mean that I support the fact that the NS equation has no smooth solution, but it is only used as evidence to verify the serious flaws in the paper of the mathematics professor in Kazakhstan using the abstract proof idea! ]

[Fifth: I am very optimistic about Professor Xu's paper. He is a real scholar.]

After a long string of words, Tao Zhexuan directly opened fire on his blog.

Those who follow him were instantly stunned by Tao Zhexuan's blog.

After all, in the traditional impression, Tao gives people a very friendly feeling, even a little silly.

Although he has stood at the pinnacle of the mathematics world and won the Fields Medal, if you ask him a math problem online, as long as it is a formal problem, he will basically reply when he sees it.

Even if the problem is just a basic problem raised by a college student, he can solve it easily and it is worthless to him, you may get his reply.

Even if someone occasionally teases him online, Tao has never been so rude to anyone.

But it must be said that this time, he directly attracted everyone's attention, so that no one commented and looked forward to Xu Chuan's reply.

[Good guy, Professor Tao started a group! ]

[Hahaha, I laughed to death, the Washington Times was scolded. ]

[I knew that this notorious media could do anything good? ]

[Happy, Professor Tao directly rejected all the parts about him in the media reports. ]

[NS equations cannot have smooth solutions! Even Professor Xu Chuan may not be correct. The theory of Professor Jiang Kangcai of Rice University has passed the review and was published in a journal, while Professor Xu's is just a paper, and there may be major errors in it! ]

[Hehe, a dead duck is stubborn, right? ]

[Top professors such as Terence Tao, Fefferman, and Gowers have all stated that they have read Professor Xu’s paper and expressed their support. You are the only one, right? 】

[Oh, by the way, the paper submitted by Jiang Kangcai you supported was only submitted to a physics magazine called ‘Entropy’. The current impact factor is only 2.089, and it has been included in the international journal warning list. It is SCI, but it is a typical junk SCI journal. 】

Controversy on the Internet exploded immediately after Tao Zhexuan started the group.

The debate that was evenly divided before has now become one-sided.

As for Xu Chuan's reply, netizens still haven't seen it, but it doesn't matter anymore. Those infamous things done by the "Washington Times" have been exposed.

Some people who don’t know much about it discovered that this journal is such a piece of garbage.

As time goes by, December is coming.

The ancient city of Jinling is bustling with activity again, and flights from all over the world have landed here.

The arrival of many mathematicians and physicists gave the city an academic atmosphere again.

For the Jinling Municipal Government and Nanjing University, the report on the NS equation is undoubtedly the most grand academic exchange in history.

The Municipal Government Office and the teachers from NTU’s Government Affairs Office communicated with each other and formulated a comprehensive and detailed reception process.

From cleaning up garbage advertisements on roadside houses and street lamps, to traffic coordination, to arranging and communicating with hotels near NTU, to safety issues for scholars who come to participate in exchange meetings, etc., NTU released a report on its official website in mid-November. After a while, preparations began.

This kind of world-class academic symposium, which has at least more than 3,000 scholars present and attracts the attention of the physics and mathematics circles, may not be encountered even if it is held internationally for several years.

For a report meeting of this scale, both the Jinling Municipal Government and Nanjing University strive to be perfect. After all, if something goes wrong, it will be embarrassing to the whole world.

At the end of November, downstairs of the New Era Hotel building near NTU.

An old man wearing a windbreaker and dragging a suitcase got out of the taxi.

He happened to bump into another middle-aged scholar wearing a gray-black suit and black-rimmed glasses, who was also dragging a suitcase.

Seeing the person coming, the old man took the initiative to walk up with his suitcase and said hello: "You are here too, Tao."

Hearing the voice, Terence Tao raised his head, saw the old man in front of him and responded with a smile: "Of course, no one in the mathematics community would want to miss such an event."

Deligne sighed: "Indeed, except for the quadrennial International Mathematics Congress, it is rare to have such an opportunity to gather so many old friends. Mathematics continues, but we are all getting older."

Terence Tao smiled and said: "There will always be someone who inherits our knowledge, and it will always flow in civilization."

Hearing this, Deligne seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and said: "Yes, civilization will never be immortal, and there will always be people who will pass it on."

Tao Zhexuan also smiled, dragging his suitcase and the two of them walked side by side towards the hotel.

The next day, the report on the existence of smooth solutions to the NS equation will officially begin.

Before nine o'clock, the auditorium of NTU's old campus was already crowded and dark.

The buzzing sound of discussions filled every square meter in the auditorium, and everyone was looking forward to it and waiting.

Following the invitation, Edward Witten came to the front row of the auditorium and found his seat. On the left was Deligne, and the figure on the right surprised him.

"Why are you here? Isn't there still a lot to do at CERN?" Witten asked in surprise, looking at the figure sitting on the red chair.

Roger Penrose said with a smile: "I studied not only physics, but also mathematics. And that's what happened at CERN. Besides, I'm not the only one who came here. If you don't believe it, look over there."

As he spoke, Roger Penrose gently pointed in the direction, and Edward Witten looked around. All he saw were familiar people.

Frank Wilczek, Alan Guth, Kip Thorne.

Good guys, half of the top theoretical physicists who often work at CERN are here.

"Why are you all here?" Witten asked again after taking a glance. To be honest, he was a little surprised by the people who came here. After all, everyone's research direction was basically not in mathematics and fluid mechanics.

Penrose smiled and said: "I came because I am interested in mathematics. As for them, they probably want to talk about physics or astronomy with your student."

Witten thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Okay, that's what he can do."

Penrose smiled and said: "What about you, if you have such a student, why don't you teach him things related to string theory and quantum field theory? Maybe he can help you solve string theory problems and win a Nobel Prize? "

Witten coughed and said: "If you want to win the Nobel Prize with my string theory, I'm afraid you have to wait until he becomes a bad old man. By then I will be gone, so why bother adding to his burden?"

Penrose joked: "Is it possible that you didn't expect this student to be so good and graduated before you had time to teach him?"

Edward Witten: "."
