Chapter 149 Coveting
Whitman was so enraged that he was even tempted to kill someone.
"Ilya Cronin...you big mouth, you only ever do unnecessary and stupid things!"
The whole thing started because of that Cronin!
Su Hao's groundbreaking proof of the four-color theorem has already caused a huge stir in the international academic community and attracted global attention, thanks to the verification endorsement by Cronin.
MIT, a behemoth occupying the top of the intelligence chain, naturally cannot turn a blind eye.
The university's top-secret network of researchers, high-end alumni forums, and even external affiliated advanced research institutes all rushed in like madmen.
I studied his masterpiece paper carefully, word by word, over and over again.
When Whitman finished reading the paper, he felt as if his entire head had been blown off; he was utterly shocked.
That boy named Su Hao did not simply rearrange and apply existing mathematical formulas!
He was like a creator god in a mathematical wasteland, creating a completely new mathematical system that belonged only to him!
Its ultimate, terrifying consequence is:
He completely restored the boundary conditions that were previously considered absolutely unmanageable by the mathematical community, using a completely new functional symmetry that was almost miraculous.
The unwavering mathematical consistency that runs throughout the entire paper, and the high-dimensional density of thought hidden between the lines...
It left the well-informed and discerning senior researchers at MIT completely bewildered and mesmerized!
Eliminating all contradictions, exploring possibilities in nothingness, and ultimately converging to a single solution like all rivers flowing into the sea—
This perfect, breathtaking logical structure is simply a masterpiece that surpasses human limits!
In Whitman's view, even if someone pointed at Su Hao and shouted, "Look, this is Newton reincarnated!", he would only feel that the flattery was not brilliant enough.
Whitman knew better than anyone that this handsome young man sitting there quietly could not be defined by a simple "good student".
His way of thinking about the rules of this world is as if it were suspended in the heavens, a whole level higher than the existing ordinary scholars!
Currently, it's not just MIT, but also Princeton, Stanford, Oxford, and even the University of Tokyo in Asia...
They were all secretly vying for power, sparing no effort to throw money and resources at Su Hao, single-mindedly trying to recruit him into their ranks.
When Whitman heard that the young man had decisively declined lucrative invitations from Japan and Britain, ultimately deciding to attend a conference at MIT...
He was absolutely ecstatic in his office; if someone hadn't been desperately stopping him, he would have definitely started a hula dance right there and then!
But what's going on now?!
Those bastards from physics and computer science actually dared to come to his door, openly coveting the sweet fruit that should belong to the mathematics department, right in front of him, the department head!
Just as Whitman was frantically taking deep breaths, suppressing the risk of a cerebral hemorrhage, Leonard had already naturally stepped forward and struck up a conversation with Su Hao as if they were old friends despite their age difference.
"Su Hao, do you know?"
Leonard's voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a powerful, seductive quality.
"Newton spent his entire life exploring the mysteries of the laws of physics;
In his later years, the great David Hilbert also turned down a great deal of work to become deeply involved in the derivation of relativity and completely immersed himself in the study of physics.
Regarding the point that "great mathematicians ultimately focus their attention on the physical laws of the real world"...
What are your thoughts?
As Leonard asked the question, a hint of anticipation and an unwavering certainty appeared on his wrinkled face.
Because he understands geniuses too well.
Peel back that gentle and refined facade, and these so-called top scholars are, at heart, a group of extremely arrogant and obsessive fanatics.
Throughout their lives, they longed to verify the perfect logic they had constructed in their minds in the real world.
No matter how beautiful mathematics may be, it is nothing more than an illusory castle in the air.
Only physics is a tangible reality!
All eyes instantly focused on Su Hao.
Su Hao turned his head, his clear and calm gaze meeting that of the physics giant.
Without the slightest hesitation, he slowly began to speak:
"Professor, please forgive my bluntness."
I believe that so-called physics is nothing more than... a very small branch of mathematics.
Upon hearing this, the huge venue instantly fell silent—you could hear a pin drop!
The space, which was slightly noisy from the free discussion just a moment ago, seemed to have been silenced by the hand of God!
However, Su Hao did not stop his almost merciful mockery, and continued to deliver the finishing blow in that nonchalant tone:
"If mathematics represents the inviolable infinite order of this universe..."
So isn't physics simply a finite region that happens to be relevant to 'reality' carved out from this infinity?
boom!
Professor Leonard felt as if his heart had been struck by a giant hammer, and the expression on his face froze completely.
Professor Ramanathan, standing to the side, gasped sharply, as if choked by something, and was speechless, his worldview severely shaken like never before.
In the midst of this extremely oppressive atmosphere, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
"Hahahahaha!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Professor Whitman, who had been feeling stifled for a long time, strode forward and patted Su Hao heavily on the back as if he were patting his most prized student, his eyes filled with fervor.
"Well said! Spot on!"
Where do the roots of the disciplines Geography and Geology come from?
It all stems from our great geometry!
In other words, the laws governing the entire world have been based on mathematics from the very beginning!
Mathematics is the master of all things!
Leonard was momentarily taken aback by Whitman's aggressive attack, but he was, after all, a man who had seen his share of storms.
He quickly took a deep breath and nodded slowly with great poise.
"An excellent answer. What you said makes perfect sense, Su Hao. Your faith in mathematics is admirable."
His gaze toward Su Hao, however, completely lost its previous affability and became as sharp as a hawk's.
"However, you must admit that modern mathematics has fallen into an incurable state of excessive differentiation."
Leonard's voice suddenly rose in pitch and became resounding.
Geometry, topology, analysis, number theory, category theory, algebra, combinatorics...
Today, the various branches have even reached the absurd point where they can hardly understand each other's languages!
When researchers in combinatorics and researchers in differential geometry sit together, it's like talking to a brick wall—they simply can't communicate!
"Is there anyone here who dares to stand up and deny this fact?!"
