Because Perelman only bought food for himself, and it was only enough for the next week, they didn't want to see this great genius' life fall into poverty, so they didn't thicken their skin and stay.
Before Schultz left, he tried to mention that this year's ICU conference would be held in the center of St. Petersburg, but Schultz only responded with a "yeah" and didn't say anything else.
Judging from the expression on Lu Zhou's face, he didn't seem to care about Schulz's proposal or the upcoming International Congress of Mathematicians.
However, before he left, he asked Lu Zhou when his report would be and what he would talk about. When he heard that Lu Zhou was only going to give a simple summary of the work he had done before, he immediately showed a disappointed expression on his face. He didn't say anything else.
After leaving Perelman's house, Schulz looked at the bright sunshine outside and sighed.
"Looks like I came here for nothing."
Lu Zhou looked at him strangely and said, "Why? Aren't you here to visit an old friend? Since you already saw it, why did you come here for nothing? "
"Visiting an old friend is just one of the reasons." Schulz said, "Actually, Professor Faltings asked me to come here."
Lu Zhou: "Faltings?"
Schulz nodded and said, "Yeah, he wants to invite Perelman to the University of Bonn to participate in a great project."
"What great project?"
As if Schultz guessed that Lu Zhou would be interested in this statement, he smiled and squeezed his eyebrows at him.
"If you're interested, you can pay attention to Professor Faltings's 60-minute report. He will explain this project in detail during the report. Basically, we need an expert in topology, differential geometry, and differential topology. Perelman, who proved the Poincaré conjecture, is undoubtedly the best candidate. "
When Lu Zhou said this, he felt like this person was hinting at something.
However, Lu Zhou didn't know anything about this project, so he pretended like he didn't know what Schulz was hinting at.
"Do you think Perelman will consider it?"
Schulz went silent for a while. He shrugged and said, "I don't care if it works or not, we have to try."
…
Crazy idea, great plan …
Lu Zhou felt like he heard a lot of interesting things today.
His intuition told him that this year's International Congress of Mathematicians would be more exciting than any other conference he had attended.
Of course, he had only attended one conference before …
Lu Zhou found a place to eat and returned to the hotel. He said goodbye to Schulz and went back to his room.
Lu Zhou wrote down some of the important things he heard today. He continued to study the proof of the Riemann conjecture for a while. He didn't stop until it was dark outside the window.
"It's already ten o 'clock?"
Lu Zhou looked at the time on the lower right corner of his computer screen. He was about to go to bed when he suddenly remembered something important.
"Xiao Ai."
Xiao Ai: [Yes, Master!]
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "Help me find a person named Albert László Barabási. I think this person is a visiting professor at Harvard University."
Xiao Ai: [Roger that!]
It was easy to search for a person's academic resume.
For Xiao Ai, it took less than three seconds. A series of information, including academic resume, Facebook account, etc., were compiled into a chart and presented on the computer screen.
In terms of efficiency, there was probably no one in the world who was better at being a secretary than her.
Lu Zhou read the entire report and realized that Albert was an interesting guy.
Even though this guy was a physicist, he was famous for his network theory research.
The most interesting thing was, just like what Professor Krugman said, even though this guy had published many articles in Nature and Science, and even created the Barabási-Albert model, what really made him famous was not his academic results, but his writings …
His "Connections" could be said to be the cornerstone of complex network theory, and many people regarded it as the originator of big data theory. His later "Outbreak" was considered to be a masterpiece that surpassed "Black Swan" and further promoted big data theory.
Taleb believed that human behavior was random and unpredictable. However, his theory was that human collective behavior was like a system composed of many particles. Even though individual behavior was uncertain, collective behavior could be predicted!
At least 93% of human behavior could be predicted.
As for why he was with Professor Krugman …
This didn't surprise Lu Zhou.
Krugman was a scholar who liked to use his imagination. What he liked the most was to integrate mathematics, physics, and other natural science theories into economic principles.
Many people only knew that he had won the Nobel Prize for the new international trade theory, or that he had publicly complained about the stupidity of a certain president. However, very few people knew that he had also proposed the "Interstellar Trade Theory" and the "Two Basic Theorems of Interstellar Trade" in his academic papers based on existing physics models. These theories would make people's minds explode even in science fiction works.
Therefore, it wasn't strange for Albert to find him. Lu Zhou didn't think it was strange that Albert was interested in a crazy and abstract academic proposition like "predicting the future".
However, even though Lu Zhou was interested in this, he didn't have the time to deal with this problem.
No matter what happened in the future, there was a 93% probability that it would happen. At least for him right now, there were two things that were 100% certain to happen.
One was the International Congress of Mathematicians that was going to be held in two days. At the end of the Congress, he still had a sixty-minute report to give.
The other thing was the itinerary for the visit to the nuclear fusion power station tomorrow morning.
This was the first project of East Asia Power in Eastern Europe. It was also the first project for the nuclear core to go overseas and enter the global market.
Apparently, this nuclear power plant had a very romantic name, and it was named by the current president himself.
Its name was Helios.
Helios was the prototype of Apollo in Greek mythology, and it was also the incarnation of the sun itself in ancient mythology …
