BXBX NOVEL Chapter 465 - 465 Answer; Riemann’s Hypothesis! (2)
“Therefore, his chances are still very high.”
Although Arthur Kelvin said so, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Where there were people, there would naturally be competition.
The academic world was no exception.
Even though Lin Fan had solved difficult math problems, Arthur Kelvin had made progress on Riemann’s Hypothesis. His chances of winning the Fields Medal were higher than Lin Fan’s.
Arthur Kelvin was a professor at Princeton University.
Preston University was the holy land of the mathematics world. It had a very high say in various international awards.
The right to interpret the award was in their hands!
They only needed to come up with a reason, such as the importance of Riemann’s Hypothesis, to shut everyone up.
In fact, not long after Arthur Kelvin published his thesis on Riemann’s Hypothesis in Annual Mathematics, someone from the Fields Medal committee asked him to prepare his acceptance speech.
This matter also made Arthur so happy that he could not sleep well for several days.
Even now, whenever the Fields Medals were mentioned, he would get excited.
“Answer Riemann’s Hypothesis?” Funival asked. “Professor Lin would have to answer it within a month, but that’s impossible.”
Impossible?
In fact, Arthur Kelvin thought so too.
He was just casually saying that.
At this moment, Professor Jeffrey walked over in a hurry.
“Good morning, Professor Jeffrey,” Arthur Kelvin greeted.”
Now, whenever he saw a mathematics professor, he wanted to greet them.
Then, he would listen to them praise his progress on Riemann’s Hypothesis.
This was something that made him very happy.
“Good morning,” Jeffrey replied casually.
After saying that, he was about to continue walking quickly into the distance.
“Professor Jeffrey, why are you in such a hurry?” Funival asked. “Did something happen?”
Professor Jeffrey looked back and seemed to notice that the person who greeted him was Arthur Kelvin. He said, “Professor Arthur Kelvin, why are you still here? Didn’t you see the academic forum?”
Arthur Kelvin was a little confused. “Academic forum?”
After all, it was just a place for rookie academicians to chat.
The real research and mathematics experts rarely went there.
Arthur Kelvin did not understand why Jeffrey would suddenly ask about the academic forum.
“You really don’t know?” Jeffrey asked. “The complete solution to Riemann’s Hypothesis was published on the academic forum!”
After Arthur Kelvin heard this, his heart suddenly beat faster.
Beside him, Funival said in a relaxed manner, “The Riemann’s Hypothesis has been solved on the academic forum? What’s there to see?”
Arthur’s heart immediately calmed down.
That was right.
What was there to see?
He was really worried just now.
Every once in a while, someone would claim to have solved Riemann’s Hypothesis in some magazine or news article.
However, what was the truth?
The steps to answer the question were full of flaws and were simply pieced together haphazardly.
It was the same for magazines and news, let alone forums.
Was that not a place where one could say whatever one wanted?
Jeffree clearly understood what the two were thinking. He said seriously, “It’s different this time! This is because the ID for the complete Riemann’s Hypothesis is Lin Fan!”
This sentence was like a heavy hammer that hit Arthur’s head, making his ears buzz.
Lin Fan… This name represented too many things.
He was a publicly acknowledged genius in the mathematics world!
If it was him…
“His ID is Lin Fan? Could it be that someone else registered it? After all, Professor Lin Fan has never published anything on the forum or anywhere else. He always submits his papers to top journals like Nature, Science, and Annual Mathematics.”
Arthur Kelvin could not help but nod.
That was right!
That was right!
Someone else must have registered the account!
At the same time, his heart also calmed down.
“I think it should be him,” Jeffrey said. “Because the answer on the forum has already attracted the attention of Professor Adivan, Professor Kus, and many other big names…
“To be able to write such a standard solution, I don’t think that person would impersonate someone else.”
Arthur Kelvin’s heart tightened again.
He knew that Jeffrey was right.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
At this time, the phone in Arthur Kelvin’s pocket rang.
He looked at the caller ID. It was the chief editor of Annual Mathematics.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, the familiar voice of the managing editor sounded.
“Professor Arthur Kelvin, you’re a big name in Riemann’s Hypothesis. The editorial department of Annual Mathematics has received proof of Riemann’s Hypothesis from Professor Lin Fan. It involves very complicated calculations. Can you help us review it?”
Arthur Kelvin seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning. He was completely stunned on the spot.
He only caught the first sentence.
As for what was said after that, Arthur Kelvin did not hear it at all.
Princeton University had a very high status in mathematics. They could use the excuse of Riemann’s Hypothesis being the most important problem, which would allow them to gain more attention.
At the same time, Lin Fan, who had answered a few difficult questions before, could be downplayed.
In the end, it would be him, Arthur Kelvin, who won the Fields Medal.
Now?
Lin Fan had solved Riemann’s Hypothesis.
How could he get attention now?
One had to know…
All mathematicians agreed that whoever solved Riemann’s Hypothesis would be the greatest mathematician in the world.
Now, Lin Fan had solved Riemann’s Hypothesis.
In that case, he would be the greatest mathematician!
Who else could the Fields Medal be given to?
No one could stop it!
As for whether or not Lin Fan answered correctly, Arthur did not think about it.
According to Lin Fan’s past situations…
As long as he submitted a thesis to a journal, there would be no problem!
Furthermore, Lin Fan even uploaded the complete solution to Riemann’s Hypothesis on the academic forum.
If a top expert like Lin Fan did not have 90% confidence, he definitely would not do something like this.
This was because once a problem was detected, it would have a huge impact on his reputation.
Even if there were some problems in the process of answering the question…
His steps would definitely be a huge step forward for Riemann’s Hypothesis!
Arthur Kelvin knew…
It was over!
He would not be getting his Fields Medal anymore!
The chief editor of Annual Mathematics heard no response on the phone, so he said, “Professor Arthur Kelvin, can you hear me? Can you help me review Professor Lin Fan’s Riemann’s Hypothesis proof process?”
There was a hint of urgency in his tone.
After all, Riemann’s Hypothesis was known as the brightest pearl in the mathematics world of this century.
Now, this pearl was very likely to be picked by someone in Annual Mathematics. This was definitely a moment to witness history.
Even though Annual Mathematics was a top journal, it was still an honor for them.
Arthur Kelvin came back to his senses and said, “Alright, please send the manuscript to my email.”
