Chapter 339 Everything is Countable

“My acceptance speech is more of a question than an acceptance speech .” Li Mo calmed down his excitement, motioned for the professors to take their seats, and then began to deliver his acceptance speech.

“Everyone knows that mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences and is the most powerful tool for exploring science.

“The ultimate goal of physics is to study the universe through various scientific means. , the most basic motion forms and laws of all substances, such as elementary particles.”

“The ultimate goal of chemistry is to clarify the molecular and atomic levels, to study the composition, properties, structure and changing laws of substances, and to create new substances . “

“So what is the ultimate purpose of mathematics? “

“You know what? ”

A young man stood under the spotlight on the podium and raised a question to thousands of mathematicians in the audience, and he was also asking a question to mathematicians all over the world.

“Yes, what is the ultimate purpose of mathematics? “

“Study various combinations of numbers, formulas, and then use it to solve various puzzles? ”

“Or provide tool support for physical chemistry? “

“Nonsense, mathematics is mathematics, it is not born for any subject, the day mathematics was born, there was no physics! “

“Mathematics is the most concise cosmic language, it uses incomparable logic to describe a real universe. “

The mathematicians in the audience discussed spiritedly, they spent their whole lives in the study of mathematics, mathematics is everything to them.

And now the young man’s words, but Let them be slammed into the head and study economic phenomena, and the Economics expert said: “Hey, mathematician, go and build a mathematical game model. “

A biologist who studies plants will say, “Math, help me build a multivariate statistical model.” ”

A writer who is writing a science fiction will say: “Math, help me calculate the three-body problem”

Mathematics is no longer an independent subject. They have become the “nanny” of other natural subjects.

So what is the ultimate purpose of mathematics?

These eloquent words echoed in their hearts.

They Looking up at the youth in the spotlight.

They know that in this world, no one is closer to the peak of mathematics than this youth.

In thousands of pairs of expectations In the eyes of Li Mo with a serious face, he said slowly: “Everything can be counted! ”

“It is possible to describe the limpid water of the gurgling stream with mathematics, the fury of stormy seas with mathematics, the incomparable coldness of black holes with mathematics, and the male flames of stars with mathematics! “

“Everything in the universe can be expressed in mathematics and numbers, which is the ultimate purpose of mathematics!” “

Can everything be counted?

The audience exclaimed, this idea is too bold. Although mathematics has been from the original four arithmetic operations of Arabic numerals, after so many years Development has become a huge discipline with 26 branches, but it is still far from the goal of “countable everything” in Li Mo’s mouth.

Even, the process of dropping a drop of water into a bottle is the use of The most cutting-edge mathematical knowledge is also difficult to describe.

“I know that everyone has doubts about this ultimate goal, and I also know that the realization of this goal will take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. . “

“However, a world where everything can be counted is not the ideal world in our mathematicians’ minds? “

Li Mo’s remarks sparked a flurry of approval. Ask a real mathematician what they hate most, and their answer must be the uncertain unknown.

Under the influence of the warm atmosphere of the conference, Li Mo on the podium suddenly felt a shooting star streak across his mind, illuminating an area he had never seen before.

“I need a blackboard. ‘ he said to a volunteer in a red hat next to him.

The girl with the ponytail froze for a moment before realizing that the boss was talking to her.

She blushed and ran backstage.

After a while

Two volunteer students pushed a huge blackboard onto the podium.

Li Mo picked up a piece of chalk, closed his eyes and thought deeply, trying his best to recall the inspiration just now.

“What is this big guy doing? “The professors in the audience watched his every move.

Finally, Li Mo took the chalk and started writing on the blackboard.

“Set A=0, B =1 According to the LIMO conversion, it can be obtained”

“Convert again, it can be clearly seen that the values of A and B are determined, so”

The blackboard is instantly filled with mathematical conversions The formula, this time without waiting for his orders, the volunteer classmates who stood by him immediately launched a new blackboard from the background.

Li Mo continued to write: “Set the mass of an apple to 200g according to The LIMO constant obtained above”

At this moment, he stopped the pen, closed his eyes again and meditated.

A bearded man suddenly stood up to cry out in surprise: “This is an apple! “

“Professor Li Mo is describing an apple with pure mathematics!” “

“.Ugh.! “

The two colleagues next to him stood up and covered his mouth.

In the front row, an old professor tapped the ground with a cane and said in a low voice. : “Everyone is quiet, don’t interrupt Professor Li’s thoughts. “

Thousands of mathematicians in the audience held their breaths, and the venue fell into silence in an instant.

“Can he do it?” “

“He can do it!” “

“God bless! “

At this time, Li Mo, who was in front of the blackboard, tried his best to activate every brain cell of his own, trying to catch the meteor’s peripheral vision.

“It’s still a little bit!” “

It’s only a little bit closer to the secret of mathematics.

The big sweat dripped from his forehead and dripped on the ground, breaking the silence of the venue.

The meteor that was about to go out in his mind flashed magically at the last moment, and with the faint rays of light, Li Mo finally saw it clearly.

“That’s it! “

He didn’t care to wipe the sweat on his forehead, picked up the chalk and continued to write on the blackboard: “According to the three-dimensional LIMO conversion formula, it is obvious that a multi-dimensional matrix group F can be obtained! “

“This multidimensional matrix group is the pure mathematical expression of this apple!” “

After writing the last exclamation mark, Li Mo felt a blank in his mind, he gently put down the chalk, turned around, and loudly said: “It can be seen that, according to the LIMO constant, it is completely possible to use pure Mathematical methods describe a thing that exists in nature. “

“pa pa pa pa! “

“pa pa pa pa! “

A thunderous applause sounded, and the math professors in the audience stood up from their seats in unison.

“Genius!” Terrifying genius! “

“Pure mathematics – the profound mystery hidden in the universe, was impromptuly proved by Professor Li Mo!” “

Li Mo’s palm was slightly pressed down, and the conference site was instantly silent. His eyes seemed to penetrate the dome, looking towards the mysterious space.

“This shows that , all things countable is not impossible! ”
