Chapter 1096: Chapter 429 Compete? _2

"Hello, Academician Xu."

Su greeted Xu Changshu with a beaming smile, having composed herself.

Xu Changshu hesitated for a moment, then laughed: "Chengzi, stop joking. The formal meeting for the nominations hasn’t even started, I certainly can’t be counted on. I’m definitely not as steadfast as Professor Qiao. You should call him Academician Qiao instead. I think I still need a few more years."

Though he said this with a smile, he was quite serious.

This year’s academician nominations had him on the list as well, but there are only five slots in mathematics, and Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao are sure to take two. These two are definitely getting in. As for him, he might have a chance, but he couldn’t be sure.

After all, if the Xilin Mathematics Institute alone gets three spots, even he would find that hard to justify.

Especially since he’s still young, two years younger than Li Jiangao. When it comes to voting, even if it’s to protect the Xilin Mathematics Institute’s image, asking him to wait two more years is quite likely.

Huaxia values moderation, and Xilin has been quite high-profile recently. Many big names think they should manually tone down the spotlight, and some have even mentioned this to him.

Xu doesn’t find this unmanageable at all.

Before coming to Xilin, when he was at Yanbei University, his plan included becoming an academician within ten years, without harboring unrealistic fantasies.

Being nominated this year was primarily due to some achievements he made after coming to Xilin, which brought him a heap of awards.

Considering these circumstances, even if he has to wait several more years to become an academician, it’d be worth it.

To his surprise, this self-deprecating remark of his made Qiao Ze frown slightly and say: "Professor Xu, I’ve heard some things. But don’t worry, I’ve already written to the presidium of the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the Science Academy, hoping they will rigorously decide based on the true contribution to the development of Huaxia’s mathematics in recent years."

Dou Dou has also helped me carefully review the nominees for the Mathematics Academician this year, and based on contribution ranking, you’re second. There’s no reason for you not to be selected."

"Ah? Well..." Xu Changshu was taken aback, unsure of what to say for a moment.

He knew Qiao Ze had a penchant for getting serious.

But he hadn’t expected Qiao Ze to go to such lengths for this, even writing a letter for him. What was the reasoning behind this? He himself didn’t find there to be an issue with becoming an academician a bit earlier or later.

After all, such matters require balancing many aspects.

And what exactly does he mean by the true contribution to Huaxia’s mathematics development?

"By the way, Academician Xu, is there something you need from Qiao?" Su interjected to break the awkward atmosphere with a smile.

"Oh... Well, after listening to Professor Witten’s lecture this morning, I have some vague thoughts about Q theory. I was wondering if I could get some more detailed information from you about Q theory, so I can ponder it when I return." Xu Changshu said, blushing slightly.

It’s not pretentiousness.

Honestly, he didn’t have so many miscellaneous thoughts initially. He just wanted to join the three-person research team on the eighth floor. Today, some content from Edward Witten’s lecture indeed attracted him.

His earlier research direction had been on Qiao’s Algebraic Geometry, and Q theory is indeed an extension of Qiao’s Algebraic Geometry. It’s actually quite normal.

But with the earlier incident, he felt a bit odd, as if he felt compelled to approach Qiao Ze just because he had written a letter to the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the Science Academy on his behalf.

"Alright, I’ll have Dou Dou organize the manuscripts from some time ago and send them to your email. You can also contact Professor Witten and Professor Schultz; they are forming another project group." Qiao Ze nodded and said.

"Alright, thank you, Professor Qiao. I’ll head back to my office then."

"Hmm, goodbye."

Su Mucheng looked admiringly at the departing Xu Changshu. In her eyes, anyone who gains something from attending a presentation is already impressive.

Not only gaining something but also seeking to take on more challenges...

Indeed, in recent years at Xilin Mathematics Institute, Su had seen many remarkable people, which expanded her horizons. It also helped her understand why there is such a strict age criterion for the Fields Medal.

In academia, especially in mathematics, the golden period is indeed fleeting.

There are a rare few who make grand achievements in mathematics later in life. If one can’t accomplish something when their energy is at its peak, it becomes even more difficult as both mental and physical capacities decline after forty.

For most average geniuses, the time it takes to digest the established knowledge system, to complete the prerequisite learning, is usually around thirty. The time left to create something new is a brief ten years...

After pulling her gaze back, Su looked at Qiao Ze with even more tenderness.

Fortunately, her husband is Qiao Ze.

...

"According to Q theory, the entropy S of a black hole is related to the surface area A of its event horizon as follows: S=kc³A/4Gℏ. The derivation process is not detailed in the paper. Given the event horizon diameter d=40μas and distance D=53.5Mpc.

Converting angular diameter to actual diameter, DM87∗=d×D≈40×10⁻⁶×53.5×10⁶×3.086×10¹⁶m, which is approximately equal to 6.6 times 10 to the 13 meters. Similarly, the event horizon’s surface area A is approximately 1.37 times 10 to the 28 square meters.

Based on the Q theory-derived formula, preliminary calculations show S is about 1.76 times 10 to the 92 joules per Kelvin. This result is consistent with the observational data provided by the professor. Furthermore, according to Q theory, the Hawking radiation temperature after the black hole merges is: TH=hc³/8πGMf​kB.

That equals approximately 1.22 times 10 to the negative 8 Kelvin. Although this temperature is extremely low and cannot be directly observed, it aligns with theoretical predictions. So, we have enough evidence to prove that information is not lost during black hole evaporation through Hawking radiation, which is consistent with Q theory.

During my time in Huaxia before this, the professor provided me with more data, including high-energy observations for verification. We can further substantiate the above derivations by analyzing the high-energy X-ray and gamma-ray observation data. First, by converting the accretion disk’s radiation peak frequency to energy, we obtain the following result... "

Ham Taylor excitedly explained his latest research findings to a group of seniors on the podium.

Following the noon communication, his mentor, Professor Critiel Matich, did not put him in a difficult position, allowing him to discuss his research findings with several prominent figures studying Q theory.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ham Taylor.

Edward Witten is a given, along with Peter Schultz, his own mentor, and several Nobel and Fields Medal laureates. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he’d be tempted to pull out his phone and record a small video if not for the occasion.

Otherwise, he’d definitely post a video on Facebook with a caption like "Who would’ve known, so many bigwigs are interested in my research findings and insisted on me explaining them. Really nervous, what to do?"

If there was any regret, it might be that Qiao Ze didn’t attend this momentous occasion.

In fact, Qiao Ze wouldn’t have minded attending to hear them out; it was simply a matter of circumstance that he didn’t want to give off the wrong impression by bringing a phone out to record.

Even though he thinks that having such a talented student is a remarkable thing, moments like these are where you hope your student will excel in the future, because geniuses who blossom late are quite rare in the field of mathematics. Once you pass forty, regardless of mental or physical acuity, it’s much more difficult.

Fortunately, for the vast majority of ordinary geniuses, the time allocated to producing new work after fully digesting the established body of knowledge—essentially completing the preliminary research work—is already only about ten years at most...

After taking her eyes off, Su Mucheng glanced again at Qiao Ze, her gaze softened.

Luckily, her husband is Qiao Ze.
