Chapter 1417 It's Not Me That's Crazy, It's The Whole World
Goldbach's conjecture versus Riemann's conjecture brought the story to a climax.
"Dong dong dong..."
While Richard Stangel was thinking about the title of the next weekly magazine cover, there was no one knocking on the door of the room.
Soon his assistant, Lawrence, came in.
"Editor-in-Chief, I just received a few messages, please take a look." Lawrence sent the collected information to Richard Stengel.
be sure?
Richard Stengel smiled, he was curious what kind of news he must read.
Picking up the document, he glanced at it lightly, and the next moment, his eyes widened.
Oxford University Topic: Fermat's Grand Theory
Harvard University Project: Hodge Conjecture
Cambridge University Project: Mills Gauge Field Existence and Mass Interval Hypothesis
……
Burst, burst completely.
The entire academic world is boiling up.
All the top universities chose topics almost at the same time, and without exception, they are all century-old problems in the mathematics world.
"Crazy, these people are crazy..." Richard Stengel scratched his hair, his eyes were full of emptiness.
He never thought that a Qin Luo would cause such a violent butterfly effect.
After being stunned for nearly 5 minutes, Richard Stengel finally came back to his senses.
"Lawrence!"
"exist."
"Notify all departments to issue an additional weekly magazine!"
"What about the theme?"
"Academic!" Richard Stengel said with a serious look, with a bright glow in his eyes, "As for the cover, use the Fields Medal."
"Understood..." Lawrence replied, turned and left the room.
On this day, the entire editorial department of Time Magazine was sleepless all night.
Of course, Time isn't the only one with sleepless nights.
There are also members of the International Mathematical Association.
At this moment, they can be said to be full of surprises, excitement and melancholy coexist.
As members of the International Mathematical Committee, their greatest wish is for the prosperity of mathematics.
But when they heard that the major colleges challenged the century-old problem in the mathematics world, they realized that this day had really come, and at this moment, they felt a little melancholy.
As for the melancholy, the reason is very simple, the surprise came too fast, so fast that they felt a little unreal.
"Everyone, let's talk about it. Things have happened. As members of the International Mathematical Association, we must calm down." As the chairman of the International Mathematical Committee, Shigefumi Mori said: "The candidates for the Fields Medal have been determined, but But there are so many good mathematicians, what should they do?"
Previously, the Fields Medal only invited the world's most outstanding scientists.
But now, outstanding scientists have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, which made Mori Shigefumi difficult. Should they be included in the ranks of candidates?
If it is included, it will break the rules of Fields since its establishment.
But if it is not included, it seems to be a little sorry for those mathematicians.
There is no way, Mori Shigefumi can only convene a council.
"The original intention of the Fields Medal in Mathematics is to award it to the best mathematicians in the world. Whoever is better will take it away. We cannot abandon the entire forest just because of the number of candidates."
"I agree with what Professor Evan said. Now is a new era, and Fields' rules can be changed a little..."
