Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 445 Award Notification
I guess this is really a difficult problem that torments people.
In addition to the nearly three hundred years of history, there is also the problem itself.
Whether it is the mathematicians who studied it in the past, or Chen Zhou now.
They all have a common feeling.
That is, you always feel that you are very close to it, but you can never break through the last layer of window paper.
It's always missing that finishing touch.
This was true for Brown, who first introduced the sieve method, as well as for Mr. Chen from China and Professor Wang, who verified the validity of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
When studying it, I got the feeling that there might be an elementary proof for the Goldbach conjecture, and that the proof was not too complicated.
This is also what many amateur scientists have been hoping to find.
However, the possibility of this situation happening is really too small.
This doesn’t mean that the elementary proof that amateur scientists hope for does not exist.
It's just that as more and more mathematicians try to solve a mathematical problem, more and more energy is consumed.
The likelihood that this mathematical problem has a moderately complex elementary proof diminishes rapidly.
Moreover, for mathematical problems like the Goldbach conjecture, which has been studied and attempted for hundreds of years, this possibility is almost non-existent.
Otherwise, since Euler, all the mathematicians who have spent tremendous energy on the Goldbach conjecture must be fools, right?
Or, do these mathematicians, including the great Euler, become foolish when they study the conjecture?
For example, if you want to use a simple elementary proof, you can solve the conjecture.
That means you have defeated Euler and everyone else who has studied number theory in the past 300 years.
This level of difficulty is probably equivalent to defeating all the armed forces of the United States by one's own.
Obviously, this is impossible.
In Chen Zhou's opinion, the solution to Brother's conjecture still lies in mathematical tools.
Combined with the previous research of mathematicians, every mathematical tool is truly used to the extreme.
The best result is the "1+ 2" obtained by Mr. Chen using the sieve method in the last century.
This also means that the screening method has probably been fully utilized and there can be no further breakthroughs.
I want to prove the final "1+1", which is the Goldbach conjecture itself.
We have to find new ways.
Then, the choice may not be a simple one.
Rubbing his aching head, Chen Zhou was not too discouraged.
At least, his distributed deconstruction method is heading towards the integration of multiple branches of mathematics.
Putting down the pen, Chen Zhou looked at the contents on the draft paper.
"This thing called the Riemann zeta function is really something that makes people love and hate it..."
The reason why Chen Zhou expressed such emotion is that the Riemann zeta function is also related to prime numbers.
When Riemann studied the Zeta function, he revealed its relationship with prime numbers.
The classic Riemann hypothesis in Hilbert's 23 questions, also known as the Riemann conjecture, involves the Riemann Zeta function.
However, this thing is regarded by many as the most important unsolved problem in all of mathematics.
Because it is an unsolved problem, Chen Zhou wants to prove the Goldbach conjecture in disguise based on the premise that the Riemann hypothesis is true.
But I also feel that this is just throwing one problem to another.
It's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
That's why Chen Zhou feels that this thing makes people love and hate it.
In fact, there are quite a few mathematicians who directly use the Riemann hypothesis.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be thousands of propositions waiting to be proved by the Riemann hypothesis and then directly upgraded to theorems.
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhou finally rejected the idea.
Unless he could prove the Riemann hypothesis before proving the Goldbach conjecture.
But Chen Zhou felt that he was dreaming.
So, instead of leaving your destiny to others, it is better to take control of it yourself.
After taking a look at the previous mathematical blueprint, Chen Zhou planned to start from the side.
First, perfect the distribution deconstruction method and try to integrate the content of algebraic geometry into it.
Then he had to solve the difficult guessing game in front of him that had tormented him for so long.
The order here refers to the sequence in the plan.
But when actually doing the research, Chen Zhou had no intention of leaving Ge Guess aside.
After getting up and moving around a bit, Chen Zhou sat down at the desk again and opened the collection of wrong questions.
The latest page of the collection of wrong questions is full of various documents he has read about the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
When Chen Zhou saw this scene, he suddenly felt a headache again.
How to put it, it's like, in the nearly three hundred years of Ge Guess's research, there is not a single method that is absolutely correct.
However, thinking about it the other way around, how is it possible that a method would not be excavated to the deepest point in three hundred years?
Therefore, my guess on the solution goes back to the origin of the problem.
That is, it requires a revolutionary new idea.
This method must overcome the difficulties you see.
Without thinking any more, Chen Zhou began to look through the collection of wrong questions in front of him.
Next to the collection of wrong answers are prepared paper and pens.
Chen Zhou just kept looking at and sorting out the literature recorded in the collection of wrong questions.
This is also a necessary step for Chen Zhou every day, retrospective organization.
Of course, the direction here is too vague.
Because although Chen Zhou is constantly trying and failing, when everything you try is wrong.
That's the same as not trying at all.
Otherwise, Chen Zhou wouldn't think that Ge Cai was such a torturer.
Nor would I think of changing my research plan to put the study of algebraic geometry and the improvement of the distributed deconstruction method at the forefront.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhou put down his pen again and looked at his watch.
"What the hell! It's already one o'clock?!"
Chen Zhou hurriedly got up, packed up his things, and ran out of the dormitory to the cafeteria for his lunch.
On the way, he kept refreshing the messages on his phone. Fortunately, Yang Yiyi didn't send him any messages.
Chinese restaurant, rice with toppings.
This is Chen Zhou’s lunch.
By the way, this was a restaurant that Chen Zhou discovered by accident, and the taste was very similar to the rice bowl at the restaurant outside Maochang High School.
Therefore, this became a restaurant that Chen Zhou often visited.
As if the restaurant owner had anticipated Chen Zhou's arrival, as soon as he looked towards the door, he saw Chen Zhou coming in.
He smiled and asked, "Busy late again?"
Chen Zhou smiled and replied, "I'm busy again and late."
"It's okay, it's still dinner time." The restaurant owner joked, then asked, "How about green pepper and shredded pork rice?"
Chen Zhou nodded: "Same as always, give me some more snow vegetables ."
The restaurant owner replied, "I know!"
Chen Zhou found a seat and sat down, then looked at the message notification on his phone again.
However, there was no message from Yang Yiyi, but I saw an unfamiliar email.
Chen Zhou opened the email on his mobile phone and took a look.
His eyebrows subconsciously raised and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The award notification has finally arrived..."
