Great Country Academician

As Professor David Gross asked questions, the auditorium soon became noisy.

It has to be said that the problem raised by Professor Gross is indeed a fatal flaw for the entire paper, or for the dimensional space architecture at the two-dimensional level.

This is a flaw hidden deep beneath the surface of the paper. There were hundreds of people present, and even though the question-and-answer session had not yet ended, I am afraid that not more than one person had really noticed this.

"It seems that there may be some regrets in today's report meeting."

In the front row seat, Professor David Pulitzer from the California Institute of Technology in the United States touched his bright forehead and stared with interest at the figure standing on the stage.

For academics, it is much easier to find flaws and problems in a paper than to construct a perfect paper without loopholes.

If Gross had not raised this question, he would have raised it in the next segment.

It is undeniable that Professor Xu’s paper on strongly correlated electron systems is of great importance to condensed matter physics.

However, the small polaron problem in the strong electron-phonon interaction system is still a fatal flaw.

Unless he can immediately make perfect additions to today's report desk, no matter how excellent the report is, it will eventually leave regrets.

And he didn't think the young reporter could make up for this flaw immediately on the spot.

After all, this involves the most cutting-edge thing in physics, the strong interaction system.

On the other side, Edward Witten stared closely at Xu Chuan on the stage, feeling a little worried for him.

Although today's loophole will only pose a threat to the unified framework theory in the two-dimensional space state.

As long as this student can complete this piece in the future, the framework of the strongly correlated electronic system will still be perfect.

But for today's report meeting, it seems a little regretful.

And more importantly, this flaw directly broke the myth that he could be said to be 'invincible' since his debut.

Everyone in the academic world knows that since he became famous, almost all of the papers he published have been verified, and they were all confirmed to be correct.

But today, this flaw has directly cut off this almost ‘mythical’ miracle and directly brought it back to the realm of mortals.

It turns out that he also makes mistakes.

Although this is a good thing for a scholar, after all, if you have not experienced setbacks and hardships, how can you develop a strong mentality and move forward?

But Witten was a little worried about whether the student could accept such a blow.

I only hope that after completing today's report meeting, he can continue to move forward and create greater glory after experiencing setbacks.

Otherwise, for academia, this will be the greatest loss of the twenty-first century.

Even if this century has only passed one-fifth of the way, it has barely begun.

On the reporting stage, Xu Chuan froze on the spot, ignoring the gazes and rustling discussions of countless people in the audience.

After listening to Professor David Gross' questions, he suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake.

It is not that the small polaron problem of the strong electron-phonon interaction system is a fatal flaw, but that he directly quoted his previous results into this paper.

In the future, after completing the existence and mass gap of Yang-Mills theory, he studied the unified theory of strong electricity for a period of time. Although it was not completed, he still made some achievements.

The small polaron problem in the strong electron-phonon interaction system is one of the core problems he solved.

At this point in time, this problem is still an unsolved problem. But he directly cited it in the paper on strongly correlated electron systems and regarded it as a law.

This is just like those mathematical results based on the establishment of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Although the Riemann Hypothesis has been tested on tens of trillions of data using computers, none of the data does not conform to the formula given by Riemann.

It is also hailed by the mathematical community as "a fact without evidence and a conjecture that must be established." Those mathematical research and results that rely on the establishment of the Riemann Hypothesis can also be treated as theorems.

But the Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture after all, not a theorem.

The mistake he made now was just like those of mathematicians.

Although he has indeed achieved this result, it may not seem like a big deal to others, and it is enough to complete this part at the report meeting.

But citing this era's unpublished and unverified papers was a huge mistake for him.

It was hard for him to forgive himself for making such a shallow mistake.

But the most important thing at the moment is to answer Professor Gross’s questions first.

No matter what, the report meeting still has to be completed.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Chuan raised his head, looked into the old and deep eyes of David Gross, and said with a hint of apology:

"Sorry, this is my oversight. But I can answer this question."

The words fell.

There was a sudden commotion in the auditorium.

Surprised, surprised, puzzled, puzzled.

All kinds of eyes fell on him at the same time, including Professor David Gross, who was still looking at him, with deep confusion in his eyes.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath, nodded towards Professor Gross, then looked at the staff standing in the corner beside the podium, and said softly: "Please prepare two blackboards for me."

After saying that, he picked up the blackboard eraser from the lecture table and erased what he had written when he was doing the report on the Unified Framework of Strongly Connected Electronic Systems.

Seeing this scene, if others were still confused, Witten's pupils in the audience were filled with astonishment.

Last year, he participated in the ‘International Symposium on the History of Mathematics and Mathematics Education’ in the capital of this country. At the symposium, he personally witnessed a proof that could be described as a ‘miracle’.

The grand unified framework of strongly correlated electronic systems was created by this student in that miracle. Could it be that he will do it again today?

On the reporting stage, Xu Chuan ignored the commotion in the audience.

After erasing the formula on the blackboard, he picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a neat line of handwriting on the blackboard.

[Theory of typical behavior of small polarons in strong electron-phonon interaction system! 】

While this line of title was being written, other scholars in the auditorium, like Witten, seemed to realize something.

The atmosphere reached a climax instantly.
