Rainer went even further, calling together another 11 Fields Medal winners to work on the ultimate solution for the six major problems in Version 2.0 with difficult, abstruse, but explicitly clear confirmatory calculations.
Rainer didn’t care about time zones or anything like that.
For mathematicians, as long as inspiration struck, every moment of every day was a peak moment.
Hair? Circadian rhythms? Nonexistent compared to the fun of surfing in the ocean of mathematics.
Rainer’s motivation was clear, and the other eleven people weren’t just idly working for free.
After digesting the knowledge of the six major mathematical problems in the Version 1.0 of the conjecture set last month, these eleven people made significant progress in their research work that had reached a bottleneck.
They enjoyed the taste and couldn’t help themselves.
Although it was disheartening that they were unlikely to surpass Harrison Clark’s achievements in their lifetimes,
being the first to verify a great accomplishment in the field of mathematics was itself a great achievement.
For example, Rainer, who had planned to stay away from the field of mathematics and devote himself to applied physics, ended up following Harrison’s lead and unknowingly became the second best-recognized mathematician in the world at an age of less than thirty.
Even if Rainer were to switch careers and play basketball now, he would still leave a resounding name for himself in the history of mathematics for a thousand years, possibly ranking in the top twenty.
What Rainer did was not just helping Harrison verify the results but also unintentionally becoming the leader of an academic project as he temporarily brought in another eleven big names.
Most of these big names who were dragged in by him did not understand Chinese, but with their influence, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to find a professional translator. However, while waiting for the translation, they learned that there was not only mathematics in Version 2.0, so they shared it with their friends in the field of physics.
Birds of a feather flock together, and the friends of Fields Medal winners who were physicists were naturally not ordinary people.
These physicists faced the same language barriers upon receiving the work.
They continued to wait for a translator and tried to use Google Translate to scan the table of contents, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that there was even content related to biology and medicine.
So, biologists and medical doctors were also dragged into the mix, including Dr. Ethan Evans of the Linton Research Institute, who could not escape the ordeal.
One little action through one interpersonal circle after another continuously fermented like a chain reaction of nuclear fission, rapidly expanding until it broke open.
Domestic academia was stunned hours in advance as Harrison’s Twitter feed was flooded with comments from official university accounts and messages from old scholars who rarely logged in to the platform.
Teaching their grandparents how to use Twitter was quite a challenge for their younger generations.
Harrison also received countless private calls through various connections.
However, he had already changed his rules, using one phone number exclusively for contacting his own people and another for reluctantly dealing with outsiders, as printed on his business card.
But currently, he had blocked all unknown numbers, so none could get through.
It wasn’t difficult for them to contact Harrison, though, as they could call Summit Ventures or Chris Owen, the chairman of Whale Group.
That side helped Harrison block these requests for now.
Thanks for the invite, but he’s in the United States and has been off the plane for quite a while.
Over here, when the translation was in place, the English-speaking academic world exploded layer by layer.
In the field of mathematics, as the Fields Medal winners advanced one step further, they announced one confirmatory calculation result at a time, making the explosion quicker.
In the fields of physics and biology, the research involved was more difficult to put on paper and almost lacked experimental verification, so there was still some ambiguity, requiring time to digest and settle.
Regardless, the situation was similar to when Einstein first proposed General Relativity and Planck proposed the concept of quantum physics. Harrison’s theories, like his counterparts a century ago, couldn’t be proven yet nor could they be disproven.
Compared to his predecessors who needed a lifetime to promote their academic achievements, Harrison became famous even more quickly.
Times have changed, and the degree of informationization is different.
As long as he wants to and has the real stuff, it often takes only a short time for a major accomplishment to spread around the world.
Especially in Version 2.0, he specifically marked that he would not set any restrictions on intellectual property rights. Any magazine or any academic platform can reprint without conditions, there are no restrictions on the authorship of derivative papers, and no authorization fees are charged.
Top publications like SCN, New England Medicine, and The Lancet all reprinted the Chinese paper without hesitation, quickly organizing translations to secure their authoritative positions in the English translation version, lest they be snatched away by some lesser magazines.
This marks another kind of healthy academic competition initiated by Harrison. With the help of competition, his influence instantly reached an astounding level.
Specifically, he was nonchalantly sitting in the VIP waiting area at Boston Airport, with his legs crossed, taking out his phone to watch a movie while an unexpected crowd of power players and giants from Linton Research Institute and other universities in Boston gathered outside.
Most of these people actually didn’t know what they were here for, but they heard that Harrison was leaving, and the Linton Institute people rushed out, and those from other universities and research institutes followed thinking that if Linton made a move, they should do so as well..
