Super Dimension Technology Era

Princeton University.

Edward Witten put down the Journal of Physics in his hand and looked not far away at the famous Flint Library.

"Edouard, guess what I heard?" Pierre Deligne, wearing a thick woolen suit, said as he walked.

"What? Is your teacher out of touch?" Edward Witten rarely joked. (Pierre Deligne’s teacher was the famous Pope of Mathematics, Alexander Grothendieck)

"How is it possible?" Pierre Deligne said helplessly. His teacher had lived in seclusion in the wild mountains of the Gallic Republic for decades, and had announced his withdrawal from the world of mathematics decades ago.

"What's that?"

"Huang Mingzhe is attacking the Hodge conjecture."

"Huang Mingzhe? Hodge's conjecture?" Edward Witten whispered these two terms softly.

"I heard what Qiu said."

"It was expected." Edward Witten was not surprised.

"Oh? You already knew that?"

"The emergence of Huang's chaotic topology allows us to get closer to the reality of Hodge's conjecture, but this is not an easy task." Edward Witten replied flatly.

"By the way, I heard that Faltings recommended Huang Mingzhe to the Norwegian Academy of Natural Sciences and Letters." Pierre Deligne said suddenly.

"Oh?" Edward Witten raised his eyebrows: "Where is Qiu?"

"Of course he agreed."

"What about you, Pierre?"

"..." Pierre Deligne was silent for a while: "He is too young. I don't know whether it is good or bad to win the Abel Prize so early. After all, the Fields Medal is cursed."

The so-called Curse of the Fields Medal is the phenomenon that many Fields Medal winners have experienced a decrease in their achievements after winning the award.

In fact, this phenomenon is related to the age limit of the Fields Medal. The Fields Medal can only be obtained by mathematicians under the age of 40. This has led to which Fields Medal winners have to think about future issues.

This seems very absurd. In fact, this is the difference between the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize. Generally, Nobel Prize winners are in their fifties or sixties, and they can almost retire; while Fields Medal winners are just When you are in your twenties or thirties, you must consider your future arrangements.

Edward Witten swept a few snowflakes on his clothes and said calmly: "His contribution to topology, even if the Fields Medal is awarded to him, there will be no problem. Age should not be a criterion for judging academic level. .”

"Then I'll write to Norway."

"Add me a share!"

"OK."

…

The Norwegian Academy of Natural Sciences and Letters is the final review body for the Abel Prize. As an international award, they take into account many factors.

"What do you think? Edward Witten, Viscount Pierre Deligne, Qiu Chengtong, and Gerd Faltings all recommended Huang Mingzhe as this year's Abel Prize winner. Please share your opinions."

"He's too young."

"But Huang's chaotic topology is indeed a major advancement in the field of mathematics after the millennium."

"It's better to wait a few more years! At least wait until the 2014 Seoul International Mathematics Conference has passed before considering it."

Five academicians of the Norwegian Academy of Natural Sciences and Letters discussed it for most of the day, but still did not make a decision.

Although Huang Mingzhe has many recommenders, the final decision on the Abel Prize is made by the Norwegian Academy of Natural Sciences and Letters in Norway, unlike the Fields Medal, which is decided by the International Federation of Mathematics.

But they still have time to take their time, after all, the Abel Prize is only announced in September every year.

…

January 10, 2012.

The weather in Lingnan has just gotten a little colder, and the down jacket that is rarely taken out throughout the year has finally come in handy.

Huang Mingzhe still follows the rhythm of three points and one line, the school library, the Institute of Truth Mathematics of the Department of Mathematics, and the villa.

Putting down the materials science book in his hand, he stood up and stretched.

There were many people in the library watching secretly, especially many girls, who were discussing in low voices.

As a young, rich, talented and ambitious single, Huang Mingzhe is undoubtedly the target of many girls. Unfortunately, Chen Wenna, a childhood sweetheart, has always been inseparable from Huang Mingzhe.

They are destined to have no hope, and Huang Mingzhe does not want to be Alexandre Dumas. Truth is his pursuit, and he does not want to waste time on women.

Huang Mingzhe's time is very busy recently. He reads books on materials science in the library in the morning, works at the Institute of Truth Mathematics in the afternoon, and reads some miscellaneous books or handles some company affairs in the evening.

Materials science is huge and complex.

Generally divided into: polymer materials - inorganic non-metals (including ceramic materials, semiconductor materials, etc.); metal materials, generally divided into iron-based metals (ferrous metals) and non-ferrous metals (non-ferrous metals); composite materials (composed of two Or more materials in the right combination.

Usually various material products use one material as the matrix and another material as the reinforcement.

In fact, this is just a rough division. If divided carefully, there are many smaller categories, such as graphene materials and nanomaterials, which are very popular now.

Huang Mingzhe chose the direction of materials science for a purpose.

Materials are the foundation of engineering science. No matter how exquisite the theory is, it is difficult for an ingenious person to make a meal without materials.

Just like the curvature engine he proposed, it is impossible to create without materials and energy.

The development of modern science is precisely because materials science cannot keep up. The theories of many things have been thoroughly studied by scientists, but it has been difficult to apply them.

Materials can affect a lot of things, and if the materials are powerful enough, a lot of ideas can be accomplished.

After Huang Mingzhe integrated mathematics with chemistry, materials science, physics, and computer programming, through the collision of inspiration, two new branches of science were born: [Computational Materials] and [Molecular Cybernetics].

Computational materials science is an emerging discipline all over the world. This discipline has very high requirements for the integration of mathematics, chemistry, physics, materials science, and computer programming.

It is necessary to find out the rules before we can efficiently develop new materials. Huang Mingzhe's computational materials science sparked by inspiration has many rules, which are not found in the world so far.

These laws allow him to quickly synthesize the new materials he needs among tens of thousands of materials. Currently, his computational materials science has a total of three law models.

If a paper is published, it is estimated that it can trigger a revolution in materials science.

But Huang Mingzhe is not that stupid. It has nothing to do with publishing papers on theoretical physics and theoretical mathematics. He will not publish papers on applied science knowledge.

Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have a motherland. Those who advocate that science has no national boundaries either have water in their heads or their buttocks are crooked.

Maybe one day when human civilization is unified, he can consider publishing a paper, otherwise he should just keep this knowledge in his heart.

As for molecular control, this is a subject that has never appeared in the world. It is mainly a subject that studies molecular control.

Some specific molecules can be controlled under the stimulation of specific conditions. What can this effect do?

It is mainly used in molecular robotics, molecular smelting, high-purity material extraction and other fields.

But now, in his molecular cybernetics, there are only two small molecule materials that can be used for specific tasks.

Knowledge, he needs more knowledge. Only by accumulating more knowledge can the spark of inspiration collide with more new knowledge.
