Chapter 328 A Second Slap in the Face that Came Right to My Door!

While Edward Witten and Roger Penrose were stabbing each other, the report meeting also came to an end.

When the last PPT picture was shown to everyone, the atmosphere of the entire auditorium was pushed to the peak.

Even those who could not understand the paper and the proof process understood what happened at this moment.

[. When the viscosity coefficient ν tends to zero, the solution of the initial boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equation tends to the corresponding ideal fluid state inside the fluid motion area. That is, there is an initial boundary value solution of the Euler equation! ]

[Based on all the above inferences, we can easily know that in the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, the solution exists! And it is smooth! ]

On the podium, Xu Chuan finished the last report with a steady voice.

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Just like the beginning of the report meeting.

This is the answer to the NS equation, and it is also the knowledge of civilization and scientific progress!

In the moment when the voice fell.

Thunderous applause suddenly rang out, and in this wide and crowded auditorium, it lasted like a tide.

Thunderous applause echoed in his ears, and Xu Chuan looked at the thousands of audiences below with a smile.

To be honest, he enjoyed such moments.

Not only because of the honor, but also because it was his breakthrough.

The satisfaction brought by the former was only temporary, while the latter could permeate his heart for a long time.

It took nearly half a minute for the surging applause to gradually stop.

Xu Chuan bowed slightly to express his gratitude and respect to the audience below, and then stood up and said again: "The report on the NS equation has been completed, and the next step will be the question session."

"If you have any questions about my paper or report, you can raise them now."

As before, after completing the report on the proof of the NS equation, he opened the question session.

For a report meeting, the report and explanation of the relevant papers are important, but the question session is the key.

For a reporter, no matter how good his report is, no matter how detailed his paper is, no matter how many listeners he convinces at the report, there will still be questions of one kind or another.

Especially for the century-old problem of the millennium.

The question-and-answer session started, and arms were raised one after another in the auditorium.

Xu Chuan began to call people from the front to the back to answer questions.

This is also the unspoken rule of academic reports.

After all, if such top reports are basically arranged in advance, the top experts in related fields will be arranged at the front.

For a century-old problem, the reporter is not actually required to be able to meet everyone's questions.

Because not everyone can understand the relevant problems and papers, for the mathematical community, as long as these top experts can unanimously agree on the correctness of the paper, it is enough.

Of course, this does not mean that a false paper can appear in front of everyone.

For the mathematical community, everyone can point out the wrong part of this paper, as long as it is reasonable, the publisher of the paper must explain it.

Otherwise, this paper will be spurned by the mathematical community.

Following the front row, Xu Chuan began to ask questions.

To his surprise, the first person to ask a question was his mentor Edward Witten.

He asked a question related to the tool of ‘differential construction method’, mainly in the aspect of topological construction and connection of partial differential equations.

Then, Qiu Chengtong, Tao Terence, Alessio Figali and other experts and experts in the field of partial differential equations raised their hands to express their doubts.

Of course, Xu Chuan also answered these questions one by one.

Compared with the interim results of the NS equation last time, more people asked questions this time, so that Xu Chuan and Nanjing University had to temporarily interrupt the question-and-answer session according to the last process, first inviting scholars who came to attend the report meeting to have a meal, and then continue in the afternoon.

For Xu Chuan, the two-hour break at noon can also help him recover some energy to deal with the questions in the afternoon.

At 2 o'clock, the afternoon question-and-answer session continued.

Xu Chuan calmly responded to the questions from mathematicians, physicists and even some fluid mechanics application engineers.

He can basically give satisfactory answers to most of the questions.

A small number of them were either too imaginative or about the NS equation or the application of fluid mechanics.

He could not give an accurate answer to the former, but only some of his own thoughts and ideas.

The latter kept his usual habit and said that he was just a theoretical mathematician and did not know anything about the application.

And for the latter questioners, this is indeed a pity.

After all, Professor Xu in front of him is the one who has gone the furthest on this road. If he had given direction, even if it was just one sentence, the development of fluid mechanics would have been rapidly improved.

But unfortunately, he has always declined to answer questions about application at the report meeting.

And for Xu Chuan, he did not need to answer these questions.

Even if he knew.

On the one hand, not answering questions about application would not affect the correctness of the report meeting and the paper.

On the other hand, although science has no borders, scientists do have borders.

The afternoon passed quickly with questions and answers.

When it was around 4:30, Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face.

If nothing goes as expected, this report will come to a perfect end.

But at this moment, someone else in the auditorium raised their hands.

Xu Chuan didn't care, he nodded and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to ask questions.

Immediately, the staff who had already prepared handed the microphone to the other party.

The person who stood up was a white man about thirty years old, who didn't look much like a scholar.

The man took the microphone and said, "Hello, Professor Xu, I am a media reporter from the Washington Times. Do you know about Professor Jiang Kangcai's paper from Rice University?"

"If I remember correctly, Professor Jiang's paper has proved that the smooth solution of the NS equation does not exist, and has passed peer review and been published in the paper journal. Does this mean that your report today is completely wrong? of?"

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, there was also a rustling commotion in the auditorium.

Most scholars' eyes were full of disdain after hearing this question, while a small number of people showed interest in their eyes.

They wanted to hear how Professor Xu would answer this question.

On the other side, in the background, NTU leaders and teachers from the administrative office stood up quickly after hearing the question.

A media reporter from the "Washington Times" actually sneaked in?

They naturally knew about the news report written by this notorious media. They thought that the matter was over after they did not receive a reply from Xu Chuan and were scolded by Professor Tao Zhexuan.

But I didn't expect that the media would actually arrange for people to come to the scene to cause trouble today.

After all, this media has no reporters stationed in the country, so no one will think about it.

In the auditorium, just when the staff wanted to step forward and take the reporter away.

Xu Chuan waved his hand and said, "Keep him for now."

Hearing this, the staff who had already walked over paused.

Andrew Whitt, a media reporter from the Washington Times, proudly raised his head and looked at the podium.

For the Washington Times, if it can seize the opportunity to disgust the neighboring countries behind its sponsors, it will definitely gain the support and appreciation of the sponsors.

I originally thought that after they brought up the relevant news in the newspapers, Professor Xu would eagerly jump out to prove himself, and then they could continue to entangle according to their routine.

Unexpectedly, Professor Xu ignored them, but Professor Tao Zhexuan, another professor who was implicated by them, publicly angrily criticized them on his blog, making them a joke.

Unexpectedly provoking Terence Tao, which resulted in the Washington Times being scolded, and he was naturally scolded by the editor-in-chief. This incident made Andrew Whitt very resentful, so he came up with another crooked trick.

Since Professor Xu didn't respond to their media, they took the initiative to find him. Wasn't he going to hold a report on the proof of the NS equation? Then go to the report meeting and raise this issue.

In full view of scholars from all over the world, there is no way he can escape from this problem anymore, right?

No matter how he answers, the Washington Times will basically make money and its traffic will take off.

As for reputation, do they care about reputation?

On the podium, Xu Chuan looked at the Washington Times reporter and sneered, then said:

"Honestly, I don't know who arranged for you to come here. But the person who can make this suggestion must have no brains."

"On the Internet, it's not enough for you to be slapped in the face once by Professor Terence Teru. You also have to come to me and be slapped a second time."

"In this case, I will help you!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire auditorium broke into an uproar, and many people laughed out loud.

After all, most of the scholars who came to attend the report today have read Terence Tao’s blog article angrily criticizing the Washington Times.

And Andrew Whitt's face instantly turned pale as he stood there.

For it was he himself who had made the suggestion and come here himself.

He didn't expect that Professor Xu would change his usual style and slap him as sharply as Terence Tao.

According to the expected calculation, shouldn't he be the one who asked the question and the other party would explain it academically on the podium?

After all, you are facing thousands of international scholars. No matter what, shouldn’t you maintain the proper demeanor of a scholar?

Why did things turn out like this?

Xu Chuan ignored the reporter. He waved to the staff standing aside and said, "Please help me lift a blackboard."

Hearing this, the staff who had been waiting quickly lifted up the blackboard.

Xu Chuan picked up a piece of chalk and started writing on it.

【.2u(x,y,z)=Fx(x,y,z,t)μ(μ/y)+(μ/y)=0】

After writing down some formulas, Xu Chuan turned to look at the reporter and said again: "I think you should be familiar with the formulas I listed on the blackboard."

"Of course, you may not be able to understand it. But that doesn't matter, as long as the other people present can understand it."

"These formulas are the core formulas of Professor Jiang Kangcai of Rice University who you collaborated with. They used energy gradient theory and Poisson equation analysis methods to analyze transitional flow and turbulent flow respectively."

"There is actually nothing wrong with the formula, but there is a problem with Professor Jiang Kangcai's use."

"He is a professor of applied physics in fluid mechanics and may not be very familiar with mathematics."

"The biggest problem in his theory is that physical concepts and mathematics are equivalent, but there is no mathematical smoothness in physics.

"And in his paper, according to the derivation of the paper, the speed U is zero, which can be defined as a singularity. But the speed U is zero, which cannot be defined as a singularity in mathematics, and it has nothing to do with smoothness in the mathematical sense."

"So there is no need to prove whether his paper is correct or not. From the most basic mathematics, it can be judged that the core of his paper is wrong."

After a pause, Xu Chuan continued: "In addition, even from the perspective of physics, there are major flaws in his paper."

"Because when conducting experiments on fluids, it is very common for supersonic fluids to have discontinuities, because various shock waves are velocity discontinuities, and according to Professor Jiang Kangcai, they can all be regarded as singularities."

"But in physics, the real discontinuity is not defined in this way. ”

“So whether from a mathematical or physical perspective, Professor Jiang Kangcai’s paper for proving the NS equation has major flaws.”

“In addition, if I remember correctly, Professor Jiang, whom you interviewed, had submitted this paper to top journals such as the Annals of Mathematics, but it was rejected without exception and the flaws were pointed out.”

“However, he is shameless. Not only did he not revise his paper, he also made a scene at the International Mathematical Union and the Clay Mathematics Institute, demanding that the mathematical community accept his erroneous paper.”

“In my opinion, this is a complete lack of academic ethics.”

“Finally, there is one more point. Putting aside academic matters, don’t you know what kind of people you are at The Washington Times?”

“In the past ten years, you have fabricated a large number of unscrupulous news stories and have taken pleasure in discrediting others. You have completely lost the media spirit of not flattering, not hiding evil, respecting facts, emphasizing truth, being responsible for reality, and being responsible for history!”

“Are you satisfied with my answer? "

After the words fell, warm applause rang out in the auditorium.

Except for Andrew Whitt who was still standing there, all the scholars who came to attend the report meeting were applauding.

At this moment, Andrew Whitt felt like a clown, being laughed at by everyone.

But for Xu Chuan, this matter is not over yet.

After a brief pause, he continued: "In addition, here, I will announce something."

"Due to the "Washington Times"'s vicious and mindless smearing of others and slandering me and other countries, I will temporarily cancel the secondary authorization of the "artificial SEI film" patent of "Chuanhai Materials Research Institute" under my name to South Korea. "

"If South Korea and "Washington Times" cannot give me a satisfactory and fair apology, I will permanently cancel the authorization of the artificial SEI film patent. "

"Including if I have any research results in the future, I will refuse to cooperate with South Korea! "

"Today's NS equation report meeting ends here. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule. "

"Thank you. "

After saying that, Xu Chuan left the stage, leaving the venue in chaos.
