There is a well-known section in the mathematics world that is used to ridicule physicists. It is about how physicists use experiments to prove that "odd numbers are prime numbers." .

Start the experiment first, 1 without proof according to the definition, 3 is a prime number, 5 is a prime number, 7 is a prime number, 9 is an error, 11 is a prime number, 13 is a prime number...

Ok, the experiment is done enough, the odd numbers are prime numbers, perfect!

Then, after several years of updating the experimental equipment, I finally verified the number of more than 100 digits, and found that the statistical confidence of the "experimental error" finally exceeded the threshold, and could no longer be explained by the experimental error, so the theory was patched. , redefining the physics of more than one hundred digits.

Sounds like this seems a bit like the evolutionary history of relativity.

But in fact, the essence of theoretical physics is such a thing that lacks mathematical beauty.

The location where the characteristic peak of the 750gev is located is roughly similar to the "9 in the odd number". When it repeats multiple times, it is a "sign" or even a "discovery." But when it suddenly disappears, then it becomes an error.

Unfortunately, even the upgraded Hadron Collider can do just like "retrieve odd numbers below 100 digits."

At the end of the meeting, Professor Frank dissolved the team.

Lu Zhou’s harvest is just two journal articles co-signed with Professor Frank and his doctoral students.

For him, this is definitely bad news.

However, Lu Zhou did not intend to give up.

Even if Professor Frank chose to give up, he would continue the subject.

Mathematics is the language of God. Although Lu Zhou does not believe in God, he believes that mathematics does not deceive people.

Through rigorous calculations, he predicted the appearance of characteristic peaks. Although he did not know why it disappeared, he absolutely did not believe that there was nothing there.

Otherwise, how do you interpret the errors that occur simultaneously on the atlas and ms detectors?

Just quantum fluctuations?

At the same time, the fluctuations observed by the two detectors are too big.

Originally intended to play in New York for two days, but because of this matter, Lu Zhou also lost his mood.

In the afternoon, he drove back to Princeton from New York.

When he returned to the apartment, it was already at night, just met Molina, who had just returned from the night. At this moment, she is wearing a black sportswear, and the golden hair is moistened with sweat, exuding the dignified and elegant charm of peacetime.

The line of sight swept across the face of Lu Zhou and seemed to see something, and Molina snarled in a sly tone.

"I can see that you are not in a good mood."

"Yes."

Molina's eyebrows picked her face, and her smile was a little gloating: "Is it smashed?"

"Okay."

Lu Zhou replied in a perfunctory manner, took out the key and opened the door, and went back to his house.

Molina looked at his back slyly and looked at the closed door. After a long time, she whispered to herself.

"It’s really being smashed..."

......

Excavating the characteristic peak of 750gev requires the Hadron Collider, which requires a detector with higher brightness and requires a lot of things...

He can predict the appearance of characteristic peaks by calculation, but can't prove the existence of a certain particle by simple calculation. All he can do is constantly improve the physical model and wait for ern to verify his theory.

But unfortunately, it seems that most people have lost confidence in the 750 figure.

As Molina said, he was "smashed" and physics left him aside.

Lu Zhou did not think of any better way at this time, only to seek comfort in the arms of mathematics.

At least, the improvement of the group structure method has already reached the final step. Perhaps this temporary depression can be turned into a motivation to help him find the last piece of the puzzle on the dragon sword.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Lu Zhou fell asleep early.

The next day, I got a bed, and he rekindled his spirits. He took the handouts printed from the Internet and went to the mathematics department building.

Among all the buildings of Princeton University, the building of the Department of Mathematics is the tallest building, and it also symbolizes the status of the Department of Mathematics here.

However, Lu Zhou, who came here, did not listen to any esoteric lectures, but was an elementary number theory for undergraduates.

As for the winner of the Cole Number Theory Award, why should he sit here and spend time listening to these basic things? When he was lying in bed last night, he suddenly remembered studying at the Jinling University Library and looking at his leisure time. A book that passed.

That book is the autobiography of Mr. Yang Zhenduo, and there is a whole chapter about the memories of a generation of master Fermi.

In his autobiography, Fermi had advised him not to stay at the Princeton Institute for a long time because it was like a monastery.

Mr. Yang Lao himself, the biggest impression of Fermi, is that he likes to communicate with students. He is not only keen on lectures, but even organizes seminars in person, and even brings out six Nobel Prizes.

And, more than once, he mentioned that his ideal plan is to teach physics to a small Ivy League school in the eastern United States after retirement, to write a book that contains all the difficulties in physics, and these difficulties are often referred to as "well known." Such words cover the past.

From Vera's letter, Lu Zhou suddenly realized that he had neglected some "well-known" things while delving into Goldbach's conjecture.

Herfgot's paper is very instructive, but its own jump is too strong. Although for Lu Zhou, those things that are skipped are "obvious", many details are missing in these "obvious".

Abstraction should be after careful work, but never before it is solved.

Lu Zhou hopes to recapture some of the basic things and pick up things that have been away from them for too long. I can't say that I can bring some inspiration to myself.

Quietly walked into the classroom from the back door, Lu Zhou did not attract anyone's attention, and found a space in the last row of the classroom to sit down.

The lecture professor is the current mathematics department director Charles Fefferman legend at the age of 12 to finish calculus, 20 years old has received Dr. Princeton, 22 years old to teach the University of Chicago is a general super genius.

Charles looked up at the classroom, his eyes stayed on Lu’s face for two seconds, apparently recognizing him, but did not say anything, but as usual, while on the whiteboard, while using his slow-moving Sound lectures.

Princeton's high level is not only the classroom, but also the students. It is the strongest of the imo competition, as well as the genius from all over the United States and the world.

Giving lectures to these geniuses is obviously not as foolish as a general university lecture.

Especially for those professors who often make sloppy.

Speaking of the proof of the prime number theorem, Charles, who is facing the classroom, just wrote the twentieth line of calculations, and some people raised their hands in the classroom.

"Professor, the value of the Φ(s) function should be 2 instead of 3!"

Obviously, some people have already prepared various proofs of the prime number theorem.

Charles turned around and smiled calmly. It seemed to be well-informed. He said slowly: "You are right, but you believe it or not, even if I am wrong, I can still reach the same conclusion."

The student was stunned and there was a whisper in the classroom.

From the voice of the whispering discussion, Lu Zhou could feel the incredibleness of these students.

Not only these students, Lu Zhou himself feels a bit like this.

He is the most demanding of rigorous calculations. Even if the ideas go into a dead end, they will not make mistakes in calculations.

However, Lu Zhou did not say anything, but waited for the professor to finish all the process.

Charles did not speak, turned and went back to the classroom to continue the book.

Fifteen minutes passed, and when he wrote the last line of calculations, everyone in the classroom was stunned.

Especially the student who stood up and pointed out the mistake, his face was full of doubts about life.

That mistake is clearly there, but in the end...

It was really calculated by him!

"The proof method of the prime number theorem, I have studied it myself, there are probably more than ten kinds. It is very important for the rigor of calculation, but when we explore the frontier field, it is more important to be logically self-consistent. It's not just the foundation of mathematics, but the foundation of all science. As for why I can draw the same conclusion, because after I tried many methods, I found that many methods are actually the same....

Said, Charles smiled, gently wiped the 3 behind the Φ (s) equal sign, changed it to 2 and continued, "Of course, this is just my sophistry of mistakes. Our Smith classmates said That's right, the result here is really 2. It's just that 2 or 3, we satisfy the interval we defined by the function ζ(x)."

Obviously, the professor's familiarity with the process has reached the point of understanding.

Lu Zhou even suspected that he deliberately misplaced and found these little rookies to find happiness.

Of course, the point worthy of attention is not here.

"Do you have the same goal?"

Repeatedly chewing this sentence, Lu Zhou fell into meditation.

Gradually, his eyes brightened.

In the vagueness, Lu Zhou suddenly felt it.

The piece of puzzle he was looking for was already in his hands...
