Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 468 - 215: It’s on fire!

Qiao Ze’s solution to the Yang-Mills Fields mass gap problem still went viral on the internet, although it shouldn’t have.

That’s because as early as three months ago, countless self-media on Huaxia’s network had already unilaterally declared that Qiao Ze had conquered this problem, even going as far as already awarding the 2026 Fields Medal to Qiao Ze.

There was no helping it, letting ordinary people understand the relationship between the general solution of the Yang-Mills Equations and the Yang-Mills Fields mass gap problem is indeed not easy, and the average person simply cannot understand the Clay Institute’s description of this problem.

Coupled with the self-media’s always having the drive to make big news, so this matter was indeed difficult to suppress.

But coincidentally, this time Qiao Ze was able to trend again thanks to the help of self-media.

Here’s how it happened.

A Weibo and public account big-time blogger who had previously written about Qiao Ze’s conquest of the Yang-Mills Fields mass gap problem, suddenly discovered that a group of physicists were collectively discussing this matter on Twitter and Facebook while he was climbing over the firewall, which also felt very strange.

What’s going on?

Do foreign scientists have such long reaction arcs?

Wasn’t it reported two or three months ago that Qiao Ze had solved the problem, even giving the general solution at the conference, and it was verified by supercomputing, wasn’t it?

Why are they discussing the same issue again now?

The liberal arts graduate who was an expert in science popularization realized that he might have gotten something wrong before, so he specially asked his former mentor to find a professor in the mathematics department to understand the situation in detail, before finally realizing, oh, the general solution to the Yang-Mills Equations and the Yang-Mills Fields mass gap problem were not the same thing.

The latter is obviously more difficult.

So, this liberal arts science popularizer decisively wrote another article on the public account, "I was wrong, this time Qiao Ze truly completely solved the problem of the century!"

Then he posted the article from the public account on Weibo in a nine-grid style; although the article did not directly quote the mathematics professor’s original words, it dissected the Yang-Mills Theory in language that ordinary people could understand.

And he directly apologized in the conclusion.

"...I apologize, because of my previous arrogance towards science, I did not completely understand the composition of this Clay Institute millennium problem and released incorrect information in January this year. As mentioned earlier, in January this year, Qiao’s report was about the general solution of the Yang-Mills Equations, which is only the first part of the problem.

Today, Qiao has fully discussed this problem in his doctoral thesis and has triggered a storm in the international physics community! Here I apologize to Qiao and everyone, and next time I’ll definitely adopt a more rigorous attitude to spread knowledge to everyone!"

Originally, after the article was published, it didn’t stir up much excitement.

But it just so happened to be noticed and forwarded by central media news, which directly reposted his Weibo and commented on it.

"Making mistakes is not shameful, correcting them upon realization is a humble attitude towards publicizing science. Also, congratulations to Qiao Ze on his successful doctoral graduation, and let’s thank him for his contributions to the world’s academic community."

The central media’s repost also made the liberal arts science popularization big V’s content go viral.

And along with it, the Yang-Mills Theory was once again lifted to the trending searches by countless awe-inspired netizens.

Of course, the comment section is also beyond words, full of all kinds of creatures.

"As everyone knows, a difficult problem abroad can generally only be conquered once, but in our magnificent Greater Huaxia, it can be conquered twice in succession."

If the pattern of the past is to be followed, such sarcastically ironic comments quickly exploded in popularity. They were pushed to the top. Some people supported it while others lashed out with tongue and pen.

"Didn’t you read the article carefully? It said that the problem is divided into several parts. Finding the general solution only completed a small half; what really matters is proving the mass gap problem."

"Exactly, you can say that God Qiao conquered this problem all by himself, those posting this kind of comment don’t understand what it means at all. The author’s comment in the article is not wrong at all; this is probably one of the greatest doctoral theses in the history of academia."

"Bro, if you think foreign is so good, why don’t you climb over the wall and have a look? I’ll cut you some pictures at random, see how those scientists are evaluating Qiao’s achievements. Haven’t they already hyped up Qiao on Facebook?"

"Oh my, the one above, I remember Qiao Ze has always been doing mathematics, right? Why do those Facebook posts you shared seem to be certified scholars who are into physics?"

"Caught another one who didn’t read the content carefully and just jumped to the comments. Although Qiao is a mathematician, his paper has significant implications for Quantum Field Theory! Didn’t the author already mention it? Qiao’s achievements fill in a very important missing piece of microphysics, explaining the relationship between strong and weak forces! It’s normal for physicists to be excited!"

"I’m numb, illiterate and just feel that it’s impressive. Can someone knowledgeable tell me, is Qiao Ze a physicist or a mathematician after all?"

"He’s a proper mathematician. But he also has a deep understanding of physics, especially Quantum Physics, Quantum Field Theory, and Quantum Chromodynamics. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly solve such an intellectual peak challenge. But then again, typically anyone who can understand Quantum Physics won’t be bad at mathematics."

"Damn, isn’t Qiao Ze not even twenty years old yet? Shit, I’m three years older than him, and I don’t understand any of the stuff you’re talking about. Is there any point in living anymore?"

"Don’t talk about it, spare the adults please! I used to feel like a waste only when swiping through short videos, now I even feel like trash browsing Weibo, do you even want us to live?"
