Now, at the age of sixty, Edward Witten possesses not only a genius brain but also extraordinary experience. He is truly one of the leading figures in the international field of mathematics.
His judgnt on the difficulty of a ’mathematics problem’ is definitely of considerable reference value.
Many people started to worry about Zhao Yi.
Edward Witten, however, didn’t think it was a big deal, as no one’s research could go smoothly all the ti, "No need to worry. He’s really young, perhaps this failure will be good for him."
Afterwards, Edward Witten closed his door and spent most of his ti summarizing his gains. When he had ti, he would rest and definitely not go out to deal with others.
Outside, it was chaos.
Nobody knew who spread Edward Witten’s words, but once inside the school, Zhao Yi’s research was said to have ’entered a dead end,’ and so were saying Zhao Yi was ’working on impossible research,’ "If he succeeds, he’s a God," etc.
At school, the words were more authentic, as they all ca from Edward Witten himself.
But as they spread further, things changed.
Camilla and the administrative staff mber who had followed Edward Witten also heard Zhao Yi’s words. When they called back to report, they ntioned a few related things. As a result, the news spread to Princeton University, and there were so strange changes.
"Mr. Witten went to China this ti to see Zhao Yi. Apparently, Zhao Yi’s research drove him... insane!"
"They’re bosom friends, close friends!"
"When Mr. Witten learned about it, he imdiately decided to go see for himself. I really hope Zhao Yi gets better soon, otherwise, it’ll be a huge loss to the world of mathematics."
"Your news must be fake, right? My ntor said that when Zhao Yi was discussing with Mr. Witten, he said he wanted to do the work only God could do, and then he sulked in his room all alone."
"You guys just don’t understand, do you? The end of science is theology. Perhaps Zhao Yi discovered sothing inexplicable and decided to believe in God..."
Public opinion is quite interesting.
The news from the university ntioned that Zhao Yi was doing research seriously, but the strange remarks that spread overseas made people worry when they were passed back ho.
Tang Xudong, the president of the university, also serves as the Vice Mayor of the Capital. He is very busy with work, spending only one day a week at the school while working in other places for the rest of the ti.
Although he spends little ti working in the school, Tang Xudong does care about Yanhua University. He has t Zhao Yi twice and occasionally checks in on him because Zhao Yi is a national treasure scientist and already a leader in the dostic academic community and Yanhua University.
When Tang Xudong heard from his secretary about the news from overseas, he imdiately worried. After finishing the inspection, he decided to turn the car towards the university on the way back, "Let’s go to the university and see how Zhao Yi is doing. Although it’s probably just a rumor, I’m still a bit worried. Xiao Zhang, tell , what’s the news?"
Secretary Xiao Zhang imdiately reported back.
Then Tang Xudong heard a bunch of inexplicable remarks about ’ntal illness’ and ’converting to God’, and beca even more worried about Zhao Yi. When the car drove into Yanhua University, he got off and walked towards the staff dormitory, anxiously asking, "Is the internationally renowned mathematician, Edward Witten, still here? A few days ago, he and Zhao Yi were researching together? We should first disturb Zhao Yi, let’s go and ask him".
Secretary Xiao Zhang imdiately made a phone call to inquire.
Soon enough.
A group of people reached the fifth floor of the staff dormitory, where they noticed Zhao Yi’s room door was open.
Tang Xudong took the lead and walked to the door, asking Hu Zhibin, who was standing there, "Is Zhao Yi in there? How is he doing?"
Hu Zhibin rubbed his hair and said, "He just ca out a mont ago, said he was too tired and went to sleep."
As he spoke, he looked inside the room.
Tang Xudong saw a strong foreign old man with a notebook for recording, standing in front of the living room sofa, his face filled with surprise.
"Mr. Witten?"
Tang Xudong tentatively greeted him, and Secretary Xiao Zhang followed up trying to introduce him.
Edward Witten suddenly turned his head, his eyes directly passing over Tang Xudong and the rest, shouting at Hu Zhibin at the door, "I’m sure of it!"
"Zhao Yi is God!"
