Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke, who were standing next to them, saw Qin Ke talking on the phone and both became quiet. Especially Ning Qingyun, they were stunned when they heard Qin Ke calling him "Mr. Yang".

Qin Xiaoke asked in a low voice: "Who is this 'Mr. Yang'? Sister-in-law."

"He is the first Xia-born physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 35 for his theory of 'parity non-conservation'. He has now restored his Xia nationality." Ning Qingyun explained in a low voice.

Qin Xiaoke was speechless after hearing this, and suddenly he had a sense of reality that "my brother is really a great man." After all, looking at the whole country, it is estimated that Mr. Yang, a highly respected and national treasure-level veteran, can fight in person.

The number of young people who contacted me on the phone was probably less than ten.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in the back seat of the car. It was very quiet except for the slight sound of the air conditioner. Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke could hear the old man's voice coming from the other end of the phone:

"Xiao Qin, I recently listened to my secretary read the paper you and Xiao Ning wrote on the general solution to the N-S equation. Although mathematics is not my specialty and I can't understand it all, I can still hear that it is logically rigorous and full of imagination and enthusiasm.

Creative, very good.”

Mr. Yang speaks a little slowly, but his enunciation is clear. The most shocking thing is that at the age of 100, he actually listened to the extremely complex and profound paper on the general solution of N-S equations written by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun!

"I just want to make this call to ask if you are interested in continuing to study the 'Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gap' (also known as the 'Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gap') problem that Robert and I have

?I heard that at the Einstein Science Prize conference at the beginning of the year, you tried to solve the Yang-Mills equation using original mathematical methods. The general solution of the Yang-Mills equation is also a long-cherished wish of mine. If you can

Before I was buried, I saw the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation, and I had no regrets in my life. It's a pity that no mathematician could do it after I waited for so many years..."

Using mathematical methods to prove the existence of solutions to the Yang-Mills equations or even find the general solution is very difficult, no less difficult than the N-S equation. It is not surprising that no one can find the general solution.

"Now that I think about it, only You and Xiaoning, who have solved the general solution of the N-S equation, can possibly solve the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation... If possible, I will entrust the answer to this question to you two.

...Ahem..."

The old gentleman said so many words in one breath and suddenly started to cough. When he heard the secretary patting his back softly, Qin Ke couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

At the beginning, Mr. Yang and Professor Mills only derived the hypothesis of "Yang-Mills existence and mass gap" from physical theory and experiments, but could not prove it mathematically. After several decades, Mr. Yang

The final answer to this hypothesis has always been on my mind.

This is a true scientific researcher’s dedication to the truth!

Qin Ke said seriously and solemnly: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, Qingjun and I are already studying the Yang-Mills equation, and we have a certain clue on how to find the general solution. We will try to solve it within this year."

Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gaps’ Problem.”

"Within this year? Okay!" Mr. Yang calmed down his cough, and his voice became obviously excited: "I'm waiting for your good news!"

"We have written the paper and will notify you as soon as possible."

After ending the call with Mr. Yang, Qin Ke still sighed in his heart and said to Ning Qingyun: "We have to work hard."

Ning Qingyun was also very moved when she heard this. She nodded and said softly: "I was thinking just now, whether I would still be like the old gentleman, thinking about academic things for decades and not letting go? Later I found out that I probably can't be so persistent.

.”

Qin Ke smiled and said: "This is a hypothesis and conjecture put forward by Mr. Yang himself. He is still upset because he has not found the answer. We did not come up with any hypothesis or conjecture."

Qin Xiaoke blinked: "Brother, didn't you come up with a 'Qin's conjecture' before?"

Qin Ke was a little surprised: "Do you remember this?"

"Of course, I have checked the results of you and my sister-in-law carefully on the Internet, otherwise I would not be able to brag to my classmates." Qin Xiaoke said proudly.

"It is just a conjecture connecting the Riemann Hypothesis and prime numbers. It lost its meaning the moment the Riemann Hypothesis was cracked."

"Oh..." Qin Xiaoke responded without realizing it.

Ning Qingyun was still thinking about the matter entrusted by Mr. Yang. She was a little worried and said: "Qin Xiaoke, it's good that you promised to find the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation. We have the 'Ling Ning Tsunami Storm Flow Circulation Algorithm'

, we have some idea about solving this system of nonlinear partial differential equations, but is it too difficult to solve the 'Yang-Mills existence and mass gap' problem within one year?"

The two have recently begun to use the "Lime Tsunami Storm Flow Circulation Algorithm" to study the Yang-Mills equation, but the problem of "Yang-Mills existence and mass gap" is not equivalent to finding the general solution to the Yang-Mills equation.

.

"The existence and mass gap of Yang-Mills", as one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world, originated from the Yang-Mills theory in physics. The formal statement of this problem is: prove that for any compact, simple gauge group,

The Yang-Mills equations in four-dimensional Euclidean space have a solution that predicts the existence of a mass gap.

If the equivalent is put into mathematical language, it is - "Find the general solution of the quantum Yang-Mills equation in which the compact, simple non-Abelian Lie group G is the gauge group at Re^4, and prove that the mass gap is greater than 0

.”

It is divided into two parts. The first step is to prove and obtain the general solution of the Yang-Mills equations, and the second step is to prove that this general solution has a special property called the "mass gap hypothesis".

Finding a general solution to the Yang-Mills equations can greatly promote human research on the Standard Model of particle physics, but the "mass gap hypothesis" in the second step is more important.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The "mass gap hypothesis" was generated during the study of deriving quantum chromodynamics.

Compared with quantum electrodynamics, many hypotheses of quantum chromodynamics have been confirmed through experiments, but they cannot be proved by mathematical theory. The "mass gap hypothesis" is one of them.

Physicists have confirmed through physical theoretical experiments and computer simulations that for vacuum excitation, there must be a "mass gap" for strong interaction, that is, there is a non-zero minimum energy level (that is, there is no massless particle wave)

.Unfortunately, it is still impossible to explain or prove this hypothesis using mathematical language.

Physics is established by mathematics but cannot be explained. This sounds a bit confusing. In fact, it is easier to understand with an inappropriate metaphor. It is like a sculptor carving a statue that everyone thinks is very beautiful, but if it is why it is beautiful,

Why carving like this makes everyone feel beautiful, but the sculptor can't explain it, and the esthetician can't explain it either.

If the problem of "mass gap hypothesis" is solved, it will not only be a major breakthrough in theoretical physics and greatly promote the unification of physics, but also a major breakthrough in mathematics. It is very likely that a new kind of mathematics will be born.

For example, developing quantum field theory into a mathematical theory!

But if you want to solve the problem of "mass gap hypothesis", you must be extremely proficient in the cutting-edge QFT (quantum field theory), QED (quantum electrodynamics) and QCD (quantum chromodynamics), and create a new mathematical processing method.

It's possible.

Ning Qingyun now has a certain idea of ​​proving and obtaining the general solution to the Yang-Mills equations in the first step. He is still 60-70% sure of finding the general solution within this year, but he is still unsure about the second part, "Mass Gap Hypothesis"

"But she has no confidence in the proof. She has not studied very deeply in QFT, QED, and QCD.

Qin Ke smiled: "It's okay. Let's solve the general solution problem of the Yang-Mills equations before September, and we will work together on the subsequent 'mass gap hypothesis'."

Qin Ke's physics has now reached a true master level. In terms of quantum field theory, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum chromodynamics, he is by no means inferior to most senior physics professors who specialize in this field. In addition, his mathematics is unrivaled in the world.

level, he is quite confident in solving the "Quality Gap Hypothesis", especially mathematical intuition tells him that as long as he needs to find a general solution, the "Quality Gap Hypothesis" will also have solutions and clues.

"Yes. I will work hard." Ning Qingyun clenched her fists hard.

Both Qin Xiaoke and Fang Yongtang who were driving were confused. Qin Xiaoke simply checked the life story of Mr. Yang on the Internet, and soon said in shock: "Mr. Yang is over a hundred years old, and he is still doing this."

Scientific research? Brother, you won’t be like him and really devote your whole life to science, right?”

"Mr. Yang has retired for many years, but he has never given up his pursuit of physics. As for me..." Qin Ke thought for a while: "I estimate that I will completely retire on the scientific research front when I am eighty years old. I will definitely retire when I am a hundred years old.

Just lie on the wicker chair and enjoy your old age, teasing your children and grandchildren."

But then he thought about it, it was really hard to say. He and Ning Qingyun had been practicing the Eastern Secret Scriptures. If they practice the Eastern Essence Training Method in the future, they will definitely stay young and live longer and healthier than others, not to mention having S-level knowledge in their hands.

"Cracking the Code of Human Aging", maybe you will still be as active and healthy as a middle-aged person when you are a hundred years old.

And by that time, most of the problems currently faced by mankind should have answers in his eyes, right?

…

With this episode, during Qin Xiaoke's college entrance examination, most of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's free time was devoted to the general solution of the Yang-Mills equations. However, as a millennium mathematical problem, this nonlinear partial differential

The difficulty of the equation is frighteningly high. Even with the "Lime Tsunami Storm Flow Circulation Algorithm" in hand, there is still little progress. It is like a huge reef that remains unmoved no matter how powerful the tsunami storm is.

But water droplets can penetrate rocks. As long as you persevere, identify key points, and optimize the "Lime Tsunami Storm Flow Circulation Algorithm" based on the Yang-Mills equations, you will be able to overcome it sooner or later.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun face mathematical problems, the most important thing they lack is patience.

In the blink of an eye, the most important exam Qin Xiaoke had ever experienced in his life came to an end amidst the chirping of cicadas in summer.

Qin Xiaoke and his good friend Xiao Wen are both students in the science class. The subjects of the college entrance examination 3 1 2 are Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, biology, and geography. Anyway, after the exam, the little girl said that she was in excellent condition and performed very bravely.

, there were almost no problems that could not be solved, especially this year's mathematics test paper was relatively simple. Qin Xiaoke even patted his chest and said that he was sure to get more than 140 points.

Qin Ke was completely relieved. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the little girl's final college entrance examination results. After all, Qin Xiaoke had been admitted to Central America. He just hoped that his sister could have an unforgettable life experience and that the hard work would be rewarded.

Return, just deepen the understanding of "no pain, no gain".

Qin Xiaoke, who was freed from the college entrance examination, was like a bird escaping from its cage. In addition to practicing painting for three hours a day, he let himself go. He followed Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun all day long to prepare for the wedding and return the favor.

Xiaogui Dadi made plans, but the little girl's aesthetics was still very online, so all the wedding matters were decided on June 12th.

Before flying to Sweden, Qin Ke simply took Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke on a three-day and three-night beach trip to celebrate Qin Xiaoke's high school graduation.

After the trip ended and Qin Xiaoke was returned to his parents, Qin Keze and Ning Qingyun boarded an international flight together on June 16. Under the full protection of Wei Feng, Wei Jing and others, they flew to Stockholm.

Go to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to receive the Rolf Schock Mathematics Award, and donate a handwritten version of the N-S equation research paper.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two were warmly welcomed at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The president, Mr. Goran Hansen, took the manuscript with great care and repeatedly expressed that he would use the best possible method.

The preservation technology is used to preserve this great academic treasure in the history of human mathematics and physics.

As for the awarding ceremony of the Rolf Schock Mathematics Prize, it is slightly simpler than the Crafford Prize, but it is also awarded by the King of Sweden himself.

The King of Sweden smiled and said in English: "I am very grateful to the two academicians for their contributions to human civilization. I hope to see you here again at the end of the year."

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony is at the end of the year. Even the King of Sweden said this. Although he would not participate in the selection, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun both guessed that they were guaranteed to win the prize, at least 90% of the time.

The above assurance.

After receiving the medal, certificate and cash prize of 600,000 Swedish kronor from the Rolf Schock Mathematics Award, Qin and Ke only took a short rest for one day before flying to Italy to receive the Balzaan International Foundation Award.

reward.

This is also an international award. Although it is not particularly famous, the prize money of up to 1 million Swiss francs is quite high. It is also famous for its high prize money.

There is another surprise in Italy, that is, the Royal Italian Academy of Sciences has already arranged for staff to wait at the Balzaan International Foundation. After meeting Qin Ke and the others, they expressed that the Royal Italian Academy of Sciences is willing to award these two great

The scientist’s status as a foreign academician was revealed, and the dean was quickly notified.

So that day, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had another identity - foreign academicians of the Royal Italian Academy of Sciences.

Because of this episode, the two had to change their travel plans in Rome and went to the Sapienza University of Rome to give a public lecture.

Both of them were also enthusiastically sought after and welcomed by students at Sapienza University of Rome.

It was not until June 25 that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were able to fly to Paris to participate in the academic exchange conference and selection conference for this year’s Scientific Breakthrough Award.
