"I can't believe it, how did you find out they were wrong?" asked Yan Xinjue as he looked at Lu Zhou. His voice was filled with excitement and surprise.
It was as if Lu Zhou thought he was going to lose, but he didn't expect the score to turn around.
"Sensitive to numbers? I don't know how to describe this feeling. Anyway, I felt like something was wrong, so I tried to calculate it and found the mistake, "said Lu Zhou. He smiled and said," I guess they were in a hurry. If they checked the drawings before filling in the drawings, they wouldn't have made this mistake … Our report is the day after tomorrow? "
Yan Xinjue: "Yeah, the day after tomorrow is the last report. I suggest you relax tonight."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Relax until the night after tomorrow. The people from Syracuse University are waiting to laugh at us. Let's finish the last few steps tonight, and I'll spend some time checking tomorrow. "
Needless to say, Professor Brunos's research team must be gnashing their teeth in hatred right now. It was almost foreseeable that the Americans would not let him off easily at the acceptance report the day after tomorrow.
Lu Zhou's month of work was about to come to an end, and he didn't want to fail at the last meter before the finish line.
Lu Zhou packed his things and was about to leave the venue when he suddenly heard someone call his name.
"Lu Zhou!"
Lu Zhou turned around and saw the person who stopped him. He was stunned for a second and spoke in surprise.
"Luo Wenxuan?"
Luo Wenxuan gave his old friend a warm hug and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. He then smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here. This world is so small."
"What a coincidence … Who is this?"
Lu Zhou looked at the old man next to Luo Wenxuan. He felt like the old man looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him before.
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my supervisor …"
"Edward Witten." Before Luo Wenxuan could introduce him, the old man smiled and extended his right hand.
Edward Witten!
Hearing this name, Lu Zhou was shocked.
He had only heard from Luo Wenxuan that his supervisor was in mathematical physics, but he did not expect his boss to be this big shot!
Just how awesome was this big boss?
In the 1980s, knot theory was very popular, and many new knot invariants were discovered. One of the more famous ones was the Jones-polynomial, also known as the Jones polynomial.
While mathematicians were still trying to figure out this new concept, Witten suddenly jumped out and told everyone that the number of different 3-manifolds multiplied by different gauge groups would determine the number of Jones polynomials that could be constructed …
The problem seemed to have become simple, but this was not the most infuriating thing.
What was most infuriating was that he immediately came up with a set of shear flow topological methods, which directly captured all the treasures on the entire new continent in one fell swoop. This made other people who had just set foot on the new continent want to cry but have no tears.
The same thing happened with string theory.
Since the 1960s, string theory was quite popular in the theoretical physics community. Everyone dreamed of completing Einstein's unfinished work. Therefore, there were a lot of different versions of "superstring theory".
Then, in the 1990s, Witten came out again and brought out the legendary M theory. He proved that many different versions of superstring theory were actually the results of different limits of his "M theory" …
In a sense, this was similar to what Lu Zhou did half a year ago.
Originally, the twin prime number conjecture could have been published by at least 120 papers. However, Lu Zhou pushed the number from 246 to 2, leaving others with no way out.
Unfortunately, even though Witten was a physicist, he won the Fields Prize.
After all, modern theoretical physicists were still struggling to test the standard model. They did not even fully understand the three-dimensional world of particles, so it was not convincing to study one-dimensional strings.
Unless he could live for 300 years, he would not be able to win the Nobel Prize.
"Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you!" said Lu Zhou as he shook Witten's right hand with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you," Witten said with a smile. He then said, "My old friend always tells me about you and that wonderful report. Unfortunately, I wasn't in Princeton at the time, otherwise, I wouldn't have missed it. "
The two chatted for a bit, and the topic soon turned to professional topics.
"You're interested in mathematical physics?"
"I'm actually quite interested," Lu Zhou nodded and said, "The beauty of mathematical physics is fascinating."
Witten took out a business card from his pocket and said, "It seems that we have the same opinion. If you're interested in studying at Princeton, you can consider becoming my doctoral student."
Lu Zhou took the business card from Witten and said politely, "I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Although Lu Zhou wanted to talk more with this big name, Witten seemed to have something else to do, so he left first.
When the boss left, Luo Wenxuan patted Lu Zhou's shoulder and smiled. "Want to go for a drink tonight?"
"I can't drink with you tonight, I still have some data to deal with. How about the night after tomorrow, it's my treat," said Lu Zhou with a smile.
Alcohol would distract him, and he needed a clear mind. He could not afford to drink at this time.
Luo Wenxuan patted Lu Zhou's shoulder encouragingly and said, "Okay then, I'll be waiting for your drink. Good luck!"
After saying goodbye to Luo Wenxuan, Lu Zhou looked back at the venue and saw that Professor Lu and Yan Xinjue were gone.
Lu Zhou guessed that the two probably went back to the hotel, so he did not stay there for long. He turned around and walked toward the stairs.
He walked down to the first floor and was about to leave the No.2 Research Building.
However, Lu Zhou suddenly saw the female doctor standing on the podium. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest as she stood in front of the exit. She exuded a "perverted" vibe.
Actually, for foreigners, unless they had a unique appearance, Lu Zhou was a bit embarrassed.
However, this person's chest was simply too obvious, to the extent that it was impossible to ignore.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and pretended not to recognize her. He quietly walked to the other side of the corridor.
He had to admit that he was scared.
He had already experienced the passion of foreigners in Princeton, and he did not want to experience it again.
As for why he was so sure that he would definitely be hit by the ball, the reason was actually very simple.
After all, if it wasn't for his cool speech, he could not think of any other reason that would make her wait for him here for so long.
However, it seemed like trouble was not that easy to avoid.
Just as he turned around and took two steps, the sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Lu Zhou's heart tightened. He was about to walk faster, but a figure had already appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
So fast!
He subconsciously prepared himself to resist the impact.
The air was quiet for a while.
Lu Zhou looked at Kerella, who was standing in front of him. Seeing that nothing happened, he coughed awkwardly and asked.
"Excuse me, what do you want?"
Kerella crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Lu Zhou. She said with dissatisfaction, "Is it fun to embarrass a woman on stage?"
Lu Zhou looked at her and said, "I'm just pointing out your mistake. What does this have to do with whether you're a woman or a man?"
So this is it?
I thought it would be something else.
Kerella looked at how nonchalant Lu Zhou was. She gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
She took a deep breath and stared at Lu Zhou. She then said, "Your report is the day after tomorrow, right? I'm looking forward to it. "
