Chapter 697 Aging is a Sad Topic (Seeking Monthly Pass Subscription)
During the two-day negotiation, the negotiation was intense and difficult.

Although the delegation of the Russian Space Agency visited in the past few days and clearly realized that the strength of China's aerospace industry is no longer something they can catch up with, and cooperation is the only way out, but as the world's No. The strength of the two major aerospace industries, and their glory days, they have their own pride, even if they want to sell, they must be sold at a good price, right?

As for Huaxia, although it was said before that as long as they can cooperate, any conditions can be negotiated, and everything is easy to discuss, but it doesn't mean that you can open your mouth and ask for prices. Naturally, you need to suppress the price. Otherwise, what else do you need to cooperate? Just wait a few years.

The first day of cooperation negotiations broke up unhappy.

Qin Yuanqing did not participate in the cooperation negotiation. He felt that this kind of cooperation negotiation should be done by professionals. He accompanied Perelman to visit Chang'an City, experiencing the prosperity of this city that never sleeps, and its emanating Looking at the ancient heritage, I went to see the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

"Time is really the greatest force in the world. Nothing can stop the erosion of time. Now there are only these things that can be seen from the once glorious civilization, and the rest can no longer be seen." Perelman said with emotion: "Man seems great and has created a brilliant civilization, but he is also insignificant in the face of time. It is said that knowledge and wisdom are eternal, but in fact it is just that time is not long enough. When time When the scale is stretched, all knowledge and wisdom will completely become historical dust, and no one will know about it.”

Qin Yuanqing understood what Perelman meant.

Human beings have never stopped thinking about time, or the pursuit of longevity has never stopped. Some sages put forward a point of view, that is, knowledge and wisdom are eternal, which means that the knowledge you create and the wisdom records you contribute So, as long as the records are immortal, as long as someone is still learning your knowledge and wisdom, then you will be eternal.

There is another point of view that is very similar to this one, that is, as long as your name can go down in history and be remembered by future generations, you will never die.It is precisely this point of view that since ancient times, people have either pursued profit or fame. No matter how indifferent to fame and wealth, people are eager to make a great deed and go down in history forever. In a sense, being able to go down in history means immortality .It also evolved from this that many people do good deeds, and then hope to be conferred as a god after death and become a god. As long as the temple is still there, and there are people worshiping it, they will be immortal.

From this, a saying has evolved that there are three kinds of death for human beings, one is physiological death, the other is sociological death, and the other is historical death.The first layer of death is the loss of life in the conventional sense; the second layer of death is when other people know that you are dead, and this society believes that you are dead; and the third layer is that there is no one in this world anymore People remember you!

These three kinds of death can also be understood as, as long as you have not experienced one kind of death, then you are still alive.

Of course, in the face of the mighty power of time, no matter how great a person is, no matter how famous you are, no matter how great your contribution to mankind is, when the time is up, mankind will be destroyed, and you will naturally and completely perish.

"There is an old saying in China that life, old age, sickness and death are human nature! The preciousness of life lies in the fact that it has so much time, and the maximum scale is there. On this maximum scale, you can achieve so much wonderful things." Qin Yuanqing looked at Somewhat profound, aging is a sad topic, and it is a topic that no one can avoid, no matter who you are, no matter how much power you have, no matter how much wealth you have, or you are just the bottom person , when the time comes, you have to face aging, or birth, old age, sickness and death.

From birth, birth, old age, sickness and death are issues that must be faced, and you cannot escape!
"Qin, don't you intend to leave a fortune to the mathematics community so that mathematics can continue to develop?" Perelman mentioned mathematics that he was most interested in.

For Perelman, he is also going to start his own life in retirement. He is no longer interested in other disturbances, because there is nothing he can do. The only thing that interests him is mathematics.

It’s just that even if it’s mathematics, it takes Perelman a lot of time to understand some papers. This has made Perelman deeply aware that his thinking has become very slow under the erosion of the years.

But he still has a heart-wrenching thing in mathematics, which makes him still unable to let go.That is, all the famous conjectures in mathematics have been solved, even the seven major mathematical conjectures in the world have been solved.

Although many mathematicians have tried to propose some mathematical conjectures in recent years, none of these mathematical conjectures have sufficient weight or great research value.

Judging from the present, mathematics has experienced a golden age of nearly 30 years. The 30-year golden age of mathematics development has surpassed any previous era. Whether it is the number of mathematicians, the number of published mathematical papers, or the quality of papers, it is absolutely over any period.A group of young mathematicians have grown into world-class mathematicians, and some even won the Fields Medal at the age of 30.

But there are no mathematical conjectures with enough weight to guide mathematical research and exploration, which means that the future of mathematics is dark, tortuous and bumpy.

Some mathematical conjectures with research value do not lie in proving that the mathematical conjecture is true or that the mathematical conjecture is untenable. Its value lies in the birth of new mathematical thinking and new mathematical tools in the process. This is its greatest value. the value of!
Although mathematical conjecture is only a part of mathematics, not all, it is undoubtedly an extremely important part of the development of mathematics, and the lack of this part now means that the development of mathematics will be very tortuous and bumpy in the future.

And if mathematics stops developing, it will be disastrous for other disciplines, and it will inevitably stagnate soon.Because mathematics is the foundation of all natural subjects, without the support of mathematics, other natural subjects cannot talk about development.

Perelman also thought about it in his spare time. He came up with an interesting mathematical conjecture, which was the last fortune he left to the mathematics world. Unfortunately, he tried several times, and his thinking was no longer enough to support him to propose such a valuable conjecture. mathematical conjecture.

Many of the great mathematical conjectures in history were the result of a flash of mathematician's inspiration. They caught this inspiration and wrote beautiful formulas or expositions, but they were unable to answer the conjectures they put forward afterwards, and then passed them down. , Attracting mathematicians to study hard, intending to solve puzzles, and in this kind of exploration, mathematics can be continuously replenished with fresh blood, so as to continue to develop.

"Qin, as a friend and also a mathematician, I suggest you to leave a rich fortune to the world of mathematics for future generations to explore, so as to continuously promote the development of society." Perelman said earnestly. He gave his own suggestion seriously.

In the same way, when Perelman left Shuimu University, he once told Qin Yuanqing that it was a pity that after so many years, Qin Yuanqing has not moved. Perelman felt that Qin Yuanqing was too busy, so he had to send out a good suggestion again .

"Perelman, we are friends. I think I have to tell you that the current situation of mathematics has almost come to an end, and now there is actually only a unified mathematics left." Qin Yuanqing pondered for a while and organized his language : "Unless human beings can truly break through the shackles of the solar system, enter the vast universe, and see more of the magic of the universe, it is possible to make mathematics have a higher ceiling."

"It's like, in the magical world of mathematics, we humans see through a tube. Now what we humans can see is the largest field of view that this tube can see. If we want to see more faces, we have to Expand the diameter of the tube." Qin Yuanqing said with a relatively simple and clear metaphor.

In his view, when observing and thinking from the perspective of the earth, mathematics has almost reached the ceiling. Without insight, without enough vision and accumulation, it is very difficult to break the ceiling.

At least for now, Qin Yuanqing has no way to break through this ceiling, because in essence he is also a two and a half-dimensional creature, and is also a life on earth, instead of completing the life leap and thinking about mathematics in a higher dimension.

"Has it reached this level?" Perelman was startled, a little unbelievable.

In his impression and understanding, Qin Yuanqing's attainments in mathematics are unparalleled, and he is well-deserved No.1 in history, opened up a new world of mathematics, brought 30 years of golden development time to the mathematics field, and made mathematics develop greatly , this contribution cannot be overstated.

At the same time, Qin Yuanqing also has the most say in mathematics, and can come up with truly meaningful mathematical conjectures. If other mathematicians can't do it, then only Qin Yuanqing can do it.If Qin Yuanqing can't do anything, presumably other mathematicians will also be helpless.

And Qin Yuanqing said that mathematics has developed to the end, then mathematics may really have reached the end.

Qin Yuanqing was silent and didn't say anything. He couldn't think of any great developments in human mathematics in the next 300 or 500 years. What he could discover was basically within the existing framework.

This is the luck of mathematics, because the framework has already been built, and there is a development direction, which can save a lot of roads.But this is also the tragedy of mathematics. When mathematicians go on to study mathematics and work hard for a lifetime, they find that they can never jump out of the frame that has been drawn, and they can't break the ceiling across their heads.Even sadder, it is possible that they have worked their entire lives, failed to see the ceiling that has been put on it, and then got complacent about it.

　Tomorrow, I will enter the next volume—the Great Nirvana volume. If there are no accidents, it should be the last volume. I hope I can still come up with some ideas while writing!

　　When I got here, I actually discovered the shortcomings of the subject matter mentioned by the previous editors, that is, after reaching the peak of the earth, it is difficult to continue, because there is no sense of substitution!
