Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 2103

[Chapter 116 The foundation of the future]

“Mathematics should be one.”

In fact, this is the most approachable part of Wang Qi’s sermon.

The approachable part is basically over.

The rest is difficult to explain in plain language.

If this sentence is used as the dividing point, then what Wang Qi said before is “the part that ordinary people can understand”.

And the words after this sentence are “the part that only mathematicians can understand”.

After this sentence was reached, all the non-Wan Dharma disciples could not understand it.

In the “Mutual Aid and Exchange Group”, a group of elite cultivators of the present method were also stunned.

Chen Feng tugged at Ai Qinglan: “Sister Lan, do you understand?”

Ai Qinglan pondered for a moment: “I don’t understand!”

The Tao of Life has relatively low requirements on arithmetic. In the eyes of Wanfa Sect disciples, most of the Tianlingling disciples’ math skills are just entry level, and maybe they haven’t even touched the door. Chen Feng did not touch the door.

However, after the central dogma came out, Ke Like used some methods of arithmetic theory to describe the changes and expressions of the bloodline. Therefore, among those monks who are engaged in genetics in Jiyin Valley, you can still find a few high level arithmetic. of.

Ai Qinglan belongs to this category.

However, for a real mathematician, no matter how high the level of math is not high.

After all, due to the close connection between the way of the flow of heaven and the mathematics, Tai Tianzun, who is invincible in the world by comparison, has not been ignored by the monks in mathematics. In the years when Tai Tianzun was studying, the general impression of the Ge Ting school monks was… “The level of mathematics is not very good.”

But if you ignore this group of views that can almost represent the highest level of Shenzhou, Tai Tianzun’s level of mathematics is also worth it. Call it top.

Lu Xiaoqian and Ai Changyuan showed a little intoxication.

Group theory, layer theory, and Riemann surfaces are all arithmetic tools they are familiar with.

Zong Lutuo asked Ai Changyuan: “What do you think?”

“Crazy.” Ai Changyuan let out a breath.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s crazy.” Ai Changyuan’s words were all wrong.

Zong Lutuo was even more puzzled. He had no idea what Ai Changyuan was talking about.

And Lu Xiaoqian opened her mouth and said, “This is imitating the old mathematician… No, it’s more terrifying than the old mathematician!”

The mathematician Xi Boche once described a blueprint for the future with twenty-three questions. .

In the view of the master of arithmetic, all parts of arithmetic should be compatible, without internal contradictions, and each problem can be judged by a set of mechanical logic within a limited number of steps. All sub-systems of arithmetic belong to a core system and are continuous.

And the product of this kind of thinking is the twenty-three questions. Twenty-three problems at the core of the entire mathematics. As long as these twenty-three questions are answered, then all problems in arithmetic, at least most of them, can be answered.

But today’s modern monks already know the final outcome of the Majesty’s grand ideal.

incomplete.

Undecidable.

And Wang Qi was the one who pointed out these two flaws.

He shattered the faith of Lizong.

And now, he actually raised a question of a similar nature!

Xiang Qi was a little surprised: “The mathematician asked twenty-three questions anyway! This guy seems… just to clarify a… an idea? Just to prove a question… a question?”

“Problems are different from problems.” Lu Xiaoqian explained: “Wang Qi, many years ago… around the time of his foundation-building period, divided arithmetic problems into several categories. We are not disciples of Wanfa. The well-known problems that are familiar can be roughly divided into two categories. One is ‘the problem of generating theory’, and the other is ‘the problem of generating method’. There are some problems, it seems difficult, but if you want to solve it, It is impossible to rely on existing theories. In the process of reaching that goal, you will inevitably discover something completely new, which may be mathematical methods or something else. At this point, the goal is not important. ”

And there is another class of problems, and solving them is the ultimate goal. As long as these problems are answered, the overall level of arithmetic will be greatly improved.”

“In the twenty-three questions, this Both kinds of problems actually exist. And Wang Qi’s problem is very pure…generating theory. As long as his system is established, then the mathematics itself will become what he described.”

Xiang Qi still has some not understand.

Ai Changyuan sighed: “There is also a difference between questions and problems. Do you understand? This question is even better than countless. Moreover, in a system, Wang Qi also put forward many different conjectures. A question can be divided into many different questions…”

Zong Lutuo understood: “This is doing what was the master of the year… He, he wants to become the de facto leader of Wanfamen?”

Ai Chang Yuan grinned: “Let’s put it this way, if we don’t see Wanfamen Xiaoyao teaming up to tear Wang Qi to pieces later, Wang Qi will be the absolute leader in the field of arithmetic in the future, and the whole Wanfamen will move around him. Xiang Qi was frightened: ”

How is this possible?”

“Think about it carefully, in the field you are familiar with, there is a genius cultivator who suddenly proposed a theoretical system that can accommodate all research results in all directions… “Ai Changyuan suddenly looked away from the broadcast, looked at Xiang Qi, nodded, and said with sympathy: “Oh, you belong to Fen Jingu, it’s normal that you don’t understand.”

Xiang Qi looked confused: “This is discriminatory? What happened to Fenjingu…” In

history, the great building of mathematical theory collapsed three times. Every time is a bloody lesson.

The splendid building of physics theory also collapsed, and human beings have moved from an era when classical physics ruled everything to an era when relativity dominates the macro, quantum mechanics dominates the micro, and the two theories govern each other.

The young edifice of biological theory also nearly fell. Although the building was not completed until after the laws of inheritance and the central dogma, the theory of evolution that belongs to the foundation is considered “ancient”. And the central principle has indeed been threatened.

As for the theoretical edifice of chemistry…well, is there such a thing? no?

If it weren’t for the fact that the division of disciplines in China is very different from that of Earth, and condensed matter and atomic physics are included in the Tao of physical properties, I am afraid that the Tao of physical properties is not even worthy of a theoretical straw hut.

After listening to Ai Changyuan’s words, Lu Xiaoqian fell into deep thought.

“The theory that unifies everything…”

The status quo that the way of appearance and the way of intangibility are incompatible has always troubled Lu Xiaoqian.

She does seem to know what it will be like when the two avenues merge into one.

But more people just watched Wang Qi in the broadcast in amazement.

They could only understand what Wang Qi was doing from other people’s recitations.

“The de facto leader of Wanfamen…” Xiang Qi whispered.

In any case, she never imagined that a genius at the Qi training stage that she picked up back then could become the de facto leader of Wanfamen in such a short period of time.

As the so-called “laymen watch the fun, experts watch the doorway”.

Just when the other people watching the broadcast were amazed, the entire Wanfamen fell into a dead silence.

When Wang Qi just started explaining the “Langlands Program”, there were still people talking in a low voice.

However, the further back you go, the less people talk.

If the logical starting point of “axioms” can be judged “accept” or “not accept” by relying on subjective feelings and aesthetics, then the Langlands Program, which describes objective mathematical entities, cannot be judged by subjective feelings and aesthetics. Feel something to deny.

If outsiders can only hear at most, Wang Qi is trying to unify the entire field of arithmetic.

Well, these insiders have already made their judgments.

This…may be true!

Whoever looks at it, the Langlands Program is such a magnificent picture.

It is like an army, swept away in troubled times, conquered nations, and established a unified order.

And mathematicians have longed for this “order” for years.

From “numbers” to “geometry”, from “geometry” to “analysis”, from “analysis” to “construction”, from “construction” to “logic” and “form”, the orthodox name of arithmetic has always been away from Zong Lianzong moved back and forth in his hands.

These things are the result of previous attempts to unify.

The same is true of yuan calculations.

However, these attempts were either unsatisfactory or ended in failure.

Even if it succeeds, as mathematics develops, new “fields that cannot be included” will re-emerge.

And now, once again, they saw the “unity” light.

Soon, Wang Qi’s story came to an end.

He let out a long sigh and made a conclusion: “At this point, my attempt this time is basically over.”

“I have seen many different races, and the physiological structure differences between us are like algebraic structures and topological structures. , the difference between the order structure. It is even said that the difference between me and some individuals present is the degree of number theory, finite field plane surface and Riemann surface.

However, they are all one. Algebraic structures, topological structures, and ordered structures can be expressed in the same form. And I think we also have reason to believe that number theory, curves on the plane of finite fields, and Riemann surfaces are one.

It is the same for us as intelligent beings, we all live in a world supported by the same physical laws, with different structures made up of the same series of atoms. Is there a more basic parent structure beneath several structures? I have no idea. But everything we do today is for the unity of arithmetic.

Since these purely conceptual things can be unified into one entity, then it is possible for us different creatures to understand each other! The great power of this universe in the past used the Nascent Soul Law to unify the creatures of the entire universe. It’s just that, for reasons we don’t know yet, they failed just like the predecessors who were looking for the foundations of arithmetic in the past. ”

“Now it’s our turn.” ”

We have to find out for ourselves the foundation of our future. ”
