Chapter 429 Doubts From All over the World

It is for this reason that Ning Chen can publish this research result with relative peace of mind, without abbreviating or blurring many key points like publishing some application papers.

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had already well organized the entire proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis, which made their paper writing process very smooth.

After completing the paper submission, Ning Chen immediately informed Professor Qiu Chengtong of the news.

Speaking of which, although Qiu Chengtong did not directly participate in Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, Ning Chen believed that Qiu Chengtong still played a very important role in it.

First of all, Ning Chen’s original intention to prove the Riemann Hypothesis came from the research topic Qiu Chengtong selected for Ning Chen.

Including Ning Chen himself, no mathematician in the world would believe that he could successfully prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

But Qiu Chengtong gave Ning Chen the belief that even though no one in the mathematical world could really solve the Riemann Hypothesis, Qiu Chengtong still firmly believed that Ning Chen had such a unique ability.

In the process of solving the Riemann Hypothesis this time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun did use some of the ideas provided by Qiu Chengtong. Facts have proved that these ideas are indeed very effective.

…………

Shuimu University, Jingzhai Building, Qiu Chengtong's office.

At this time, Qiu Chengtong was sitting at his desk, reading the journal "Academic Starry Sky".

The "Academic Starry Sky" journal that Qiu Chengtong read was not an ordinary version of the journal, but a limited edition of the "Academic Starry Sky" journal that Ning Chen had given to Qiu Chengtong before.

Of course, this collector's edition of the "Academic Sky" journal is not just for collection, because it contains selected papers from the journal, and its academic value is also very high.

"Yes, yes... As expected, as Teacher Ning said, taking some free time to read some academic papers from other industries will indeed have some unexpected effects."

Although Qiu Chengtong still cannot understand all the contents of these papers, it has already made Qiu Chengtong feel that he has gained a lot.

Since the corresponding author and first author of many of these papers were Ning Chen himself, Qiu Chengtong gained a more comprehensive understanding of Ning Chen's incredible talent.

At this moment, Qiu Chengtong's computer suddenly sounded.

Qiu Chengtong is very familiar with this voice. This is exactly the message that Qiu Chengtong receives when his mailbox receives a new email.

Normally, this would not make Qiu Chengtong feel any emotional fluctuations, because Qiu Chengtong receives a lot of emails every day, including those from other teachers and students, which is not a big deal. Strange things.

But at this time, Qiu Chengtong's expression obviously changed, and the reason for this is also very simple. Recently, Qiu Chengtong has set most of his email messages to Do Not Disturb, so as not to be affected by email messages that appear all the time. Go to Qiuchengtong for normal work and rest.

The only person who asked Qiu Chengtong to receive special treatment was Ning Chen.

When Ning Chen came to Shuimu University before, he specifically told Qiu Chengtong that he was going to start proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

Since Ning Chen sent him an email, it was probably because Ning Chen had made some major breakthrough in proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

With such expectations, Qiu Chengtong opened his mailbox and checked the unread email.

Just as Qiu Chengtong had just imagined, the sender of this email was indeed Ning Chen himself, and the content expressed in the email was also related to the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis.

However, what Qiu Chengtong found completely unbelievable was that this was not simply a major progress in proving the Riemann Hypothesis, but news that the Riemann Hypothesis had been completely proven!

"Teacher Ning...has actually successfully proved the Riemann Hypothesis?"

At this moment, Qiu Chengtong's expression on his face had become a little distorted due to excessive shock, completely inconsistent with Qiu Chengtong's normal calm image.

But Qiu Chengtong also knows that Ning Chen is not usually a person who likes to joke. On such an important issue, Ning Chen will not exaggerate in the slightest. This is enough to show that Ning Chen is really like what he said in the email. As he said, he has successfully proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

"Professor Qiu, I can't send you the entire proof process yet. I can only show you part of the proof process first. If everything goes well, the full version of the proof process will be published in "Academic Starry Sky" in the near future. On the main journal, I will also inform Professor Qiu of the past as soon as possible. I am very grateful to Professor Qiu for providing valuable ideas on this topic. This has indeed played a very important role in our research... "

Looking at what Ning Chen expressed in this email, Qiu Chengtong gradually became filled with tears.

There are many reasons why Qiu Chengtong is so excited, including Qiu Chengtong's excitement that Ning Chen has successfully proved the Riemann Hypothesis, including his joy that the directions of his conjectures have been confirmed, and Qiu Chengtong's expectation that humans have achieved mathematical results. Touched by new milestones.

Even though Qiu Chengtong could not see the entire proof process of Ning Chen's Riemann Hypothesis at this time, Qiu Chengtong absolutely believed that Ning Chen's proof process of Riemann Hypothesis was completely correct due to Qiu Chengtong's trust in Ning Chen. of.

In excitement, Qiu Chengtong carefully checked the contents of the attachment attached to the email sent by Ning Chen.

This contains part of Ning Chen's proof process for the Riemann Hypothesis. Although this is only a part of it and is far from complete, each part has its own independent logic.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s not calm enough, or the content is too obscure, or Qiu Chengtong’s mathematics level is not good enough, but Qiu Chengtong is not yet able to fully understand the content.

However, Qiu Chengtong can already see that part of the proof process does have the shadow of his own ideas. This proves that Ning Chen is not just trying to appease himself, but actually draws on part of his own ideas, even if it is just a small part. It was only part of it, which already made Qiu Chengtong very satisfied.

"These proof processes can be looked at later. I have to reply to an email to Teacher Ning first." Qiucheng Tongxin said.

In excitement, Qiu Chengtong quickly clicked the reply button of the email and edited the email reply to Ning Chen.

"Teacher Ning, I have received your email. I am very excited. You have completed the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. This is one of the most exciting and memorable events in the history of mathematics! I am personally very honored, Being able to participate in this matter has contributed a little bit to your proof. At the same time, I also look forward to your paper being officially published as soon as possible, and I can also read your article on the Riemann Hypothesis. The complete proof process..."

After carefully editing the email, Qiu Chengtong carefully clicked the send button of the email, and then continued to study Ning Chen's proof process.

A few days later, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's paper on the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis was officially published in the main magazine of "Academic Sky".

Like the papers submitted before, Ning Chen's paper still received great attention from the editorial department of "Academic Starry Sky". Not only did it adopt the fastest paper review speed through special channels, it also enjoyed the publication of the paper. Priority for jumping in line.

In addition, because Ning Chen's paper is very long, "Academic Starry Sky" also deliberately increased the number of pages in this issue of the journal so that Ning Chen's paper does not require any deletions. , it can be published smoothly.

It has never been seen before that one of the world's top academic journals can specifically give so many green lights to a paper.

But judging from the academic value of this paper, such treatment is completely worth it, and even doing more for it is not an exaggeration.

With the official publication of this paper, it quickly aroused heated discussions among academics and even ordinary people.

Whether they are professionals in mathematics or ordinary people in non-mathematics, as long as they have a little understanding of mathematics, they will know how difficult and meaningful it is to prove the Riemann Hypothesis in the mathematics world. .

It is precisely the research results of such epoch-making blockbuster papers that have led to unprecedented high levels of discussion about Ning Chen's paper, even exceeding previous discussions on room-temperature superconductor results.

"Academician Ning Chen has actually successfully proved the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis! This conjecture has a history of more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, countless mathematicians have tried to prove it. Whether the Riemann Hypothesis is true, but in the end no mathematician has completed this problem, and on this day, Academician Ning Chen finally successfully proved the Riemann Hypothesis for us!”

"It is said that during Academician Ning Chen's proof process, a mathematician named Song Xiyun also provided important help, and there was also the contribution of Professor Qiu Chengtong. This is a great event in our Xiaguo mathematics community. The Fields Medal is far from being able to reflect the value of this research result!”

"Fortunately, the Riemann Hypothesis was finally proven to be true. If the Riemann Hypothesis was not true, the mathematical building of mankind would have completely collapsed. There are too many theories based on the Riemann Hypothesis. People We simply cannot afford the consequences of the Riemann Hypothesis not being established.”

In addition to those who celebrated Ning Chen's paper, there were also some people who questioned Ning Chen's paper.

Because until now, no mathematician has come forward to prove that Ning Chen's proof process is completely correct. The only one that recognizes Ning Chen's research results is the academic journal "Academic Starry Sky".

Although the academic journal "Academic Starry Sky" is the most influential and academically valuable academic journal in the world today, its close relationship with Ning Chen is also very clear to many people.

This not only made some people doubt whether "Academic Starry Sky" was really seriously reviewing Ning Chen's paper, but also whether anyone could really understand Ning Chen's entire proof process for the Riemann Hypothesis.

Amid such discussions, more and more people have publicly expressed doubts about Ning Chen's paper on the Internet, and hope that real experts can come forward to analyze Ning Chen's paper in detail to prove Riemann's A paper in which the conjecture is established.

"I hope Academic Star Sky can disclose the review editor and professional reviewers of Ning Chen's paper. Otherwise, I can only think that this is a paper that has not undergone any review."

"If no one in this world can understand Ning Chen's entire thesis proof process, then this will be a meaningless paper. Ning Chen might as well not publish this paper and just keep it to himself. Enjoy yourself."

"Every time Ning Chen's papers are published in "Academic Starry Sky", this is enough to show that "Academic Starry Sky" has not seriously reviewed Ning Chen's papers. This academic journal has almost become Ning Chen's personal academic journal. Journal highlights.”

Of course, these statements have also been refuted by many netizens, because even if "Academic Star" really treats Ning Chen's paper specially, this is completely reasonable.

If you want to use normal procedures to review Ning Chen's paper, you need at least three reviewers with similar levels to Ning Chen. However, Ning Chen's level has already reached a level that is beyond the reach of others, and it is impossible to easily find a suitable reviewer. reviewer.

If we really wait until any reviewer can fully understand Ning Chen's research results, then many of Ning Chen's papers may not be published smoothly at all.

The achievements that Ning Chen has accumulated over the years have long proved that Ning Chen's academic ability is beyond doubt, and it is very normal to enjoy some special benefits for publishing papers.

This is just like Einstein's special theory of relativity and general relativity. It was not until many years after the result was published that the significance of this result was gradually proven.

…………

On this day, during her break from work, Song Xiyun chatted with Ning Chen about some recent events.

"Ning Chen, you know, there are a lot of doubts on the Internet about our paper proving the Riemann Hypothesis. Because until now, no mathematician has publicly affirmed or denied our proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. ”
