Facts have proved that this lecture hall, which is designed to be connected to the canteen and coffee shop, is surprisingly suitable whether it is used for serious mathematical reports or for holding special celebrations.
"Then try to get a doctorate next year," Lu Zhou smiled. "Your level is definitely enough, and my requirements for you are very simple. I don't need you to work under me for a long time. I only need Just write a paper that satisfies me.”
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded to Vera: "Thank you."
Jericho raised his hand and asked: "What conditions?"
"There is nothing to thank me for. The knowledge I taught you seems to have not been used until now." After a moment of pause, Professor Deligne, who had always been serious, also joked with a smile, "We always thought that , Edward Witten would become the first person to win the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize at the same time, but I didn’t expect that you would win it first.”
When Hardy asked this question, the entire office looked over.
"My impression is... one person might be needed to sweep the floor."
The opportunity to attend a Nobel dinner is rare, especially for mathematicians.
Historically, Princeton has produced a total of 25 Nobel Prize winners, most of whom were in physics. No matter what discipline they are in, if they win the Nobel Prize, their photos will have the opportunity to enter the Princeton Hall of Fame for future scholars to admire.
Qin Yue:…
If you are not engaged in economics research, it can even be said that you have no chance at all...
However, Lu Zhou’s photo is already inside, displayed together with the 12 Fields Medal winners in Princeton’s history. Naturally, it is impossible to hang it next to it again.
By the way, is there really a chance of graduation with this kind of graduation thesis
"Congratulations, Professor."
If you have a chance in the future, please come here again.
"Congratulations, I didn't expect you to become the first scholar to win both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, and you are the youngest winner of both... I think the Guinness Record can open up a new one for you alone. Sub-category."
After being stunned by his students, Lu Zhou smiled immediately after coming back to his senses.
Hardy:…
Professor Witten, who happened to come here, heard what his old friend said and smiled casually and said: "This is impossible. Unless I can live until he becomes an old man, otherwise M theory will never be It’s impossible to prove experimentally.”
Lu Zhou: "...I will consider it."
Lu Zhou said solemnly: "Thank you."
Taking a sip of champagne from the goblet, Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly: "This is too exaggerated. It is impossible for Guinness to create a special sub-category for just two records."
Lu Zhou continued in a relaxed tone: "Those who want to follow me must complete the topic selection for their graduation thesis before the end of the month. You have been studying with me for a long time, and it is time to start thinking about graduation. "
Hardy immediately asked: "Professor, can you take us with you when you go to receive the award?"
Even at Princeton, receiving a Nobel Prize was an honor.
At present, experimental physics is still at the stage of testing the Standard Model and exploring new physics at the boundaries of the Standard Model. It is still far away from the mystery of the one-dimensional world.
Standing nearby, Vera's face was flushed and she looked at Lu Zhou with excitement.
Not to mention proving it, it is full of difficulties to find even a hint of evidence about superstring theory in experiments, let alone the M-theory that unifies the five superstring theories and the supergravity theory of eleven-dimensional space.
Qin Yue also sent congratulations to Lu Zhou, and continued to ask: "Professor, when is the Nobel Prize award ceremony?"
Just like today, a century later, people are still carefully verifying Einstein's theory of relativity, and thus discovered the existence of gravitational waves. Whether it is proof or falsification, in the not-too-distant future, people will always give a positive answer to these remaining questions...
"Choose a graduation thesis topic?" Hardy looked confused, "But professor, we only got our master's degree this year..."
At the party, Professor Fefferman held a bottle of champagne and clinked glasses with Lu Zhou with a smile.
Whether it’s the scientific research environment here or the scholars here…
However, some things are not problems that can be solved in this century.
It was not only Professor Fefferman who sent him congratulations, but also his mentor Professor Deligne.
Anyway, to celebrate the occasion, the Institute for Advanced Study threw a party in his honor.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "No problem. If you want to go, let's go together, but I have a condition."
Whether it's the cabin he spent a lot of time decorating, the fireplace in the living room, the office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, or Lake Carnegie not far away.
Lu Zhou originally planned to hold the celebration party at his home, but unexpectedly, the Institute for Advanced Study arranged it for him and arranged it directly in Lecture Hall No. 1.
Jericho:…
Of course, their mentor is an exception.
"Although I think mathematics should be pure, you must have your own thoughts on mathematics. In any case, I must congratulate you. At this age that should be ordinary, you have made achievements that are enough to be remembered by the world."
"Congratulations, professor! The youngest Nobel Prize winner in history." Hardy, wearing a pointed round hat on his head, held the discharged salute as a microphone and approached with a playful smile. "How do you feel now?"
…
Even Wei Wen, who had been immersed in studying the documents in his hand, also used his peripheral vision to pay attention to this matter.
"Oh, please don't be so realistic, my dear professor." Hardy made a helpless expression, "I will clean it later, but what we should do now is not celebrate? I suggest that we can have a party It’s a party, and I’ll be in charge of the barbecue.”
How is this so simple? !
"This cannot be summed up simply by 'two records', not to mention that you are only 25 years old now. I believe that many PhD students in the history department will be very interested in writing their graduation thesis on you." Fei Professor Furman said in a joking tone, not jokingly.
The old gentleman clinked glasses with him and sent his congratulations, then paused for a moment and continued.
After receiving the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, Lu Zhou felt that his years at Princeton were full of merit and that his trip was worthwhile.
To be honest, although he decided to return to China, he was still reluctant to leave here.
For him, ordinary congratulations were enough; he did not need his students to do anything for him.
As long as physics continues to develop, there will always be someone who can see that day coming for him.
Lu Zhou expressed doubts.
Lu Zhou: "December 10th, there are still two months left."
Well, I decided not to sell the house.
In the early morning, Lu Zhou came to the office. As soon as he opened the door, he was sprayed with salute ribbons.
Although the application rate of his several papers was quite high in the statistical information of major databases, it was the first time that Lu Zhou had heard of such an outrageous operation when it was included in the paper as a research topic.
