Chapter 422 Levsky's Persistence and Expectations (Second Request for Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket)
Seeing this topic, Eric sighed deeply: "It's useless, Levsky, it's useless, you are a pointed argument, no committee accepts such a whimsical thing, it is completely different from the real world we see, it is completely contrary to the foundations of geometry, and it is undoubtedly wrong. We have been old friends for so many years, I advise you not to continue to waste time on this."
Due to the need to construct shapes and cognitively cognitively understand the world, the study of mathematics has been running through the history of magical exploration, among which geometry is currently recognized as the five axioms and five postulates proposed by the legendary magician Mentes in "Theory of Geometry", known as Men's geometry.
The fifth postulate (whose equivalent proposition is "a point beyond the straight line, there is and only one straight line parallel to the known straight line.") It is too cumbersome, not like a postulate, but like a theorem that needs to be proved, which has attracted the interest of many magicians, especially after the establishment of the Magic Council, the results in mathematics and science have been remarkable, and more and more magicians have joined the ranks, trying to find a way to prove this postulate, but they have all encountered failures and cannot give convincing logical derivations.
In Eric's eyes, Levsky was one of the losers, first assuming that "a point outside the straight line, at least two straight lines can be drawn parallel to the known straight line", and then proved the error of this assumption to prove the correctness of the fifth postulate of tower geometry, but the result was unexpected.
After Levsky submitted his paper unhindered, he was fiercely criticized and ridiculed, and there was no doubt that he failed the review.
"Eric, have you read my thesis carefully? Have you read the argumentation process carefully? Is there an error in its premise postulation and logical derivation? Why don't you understand it?" Levsky trembled with anger and excitement. In the past ten years, even if his magic research has stopped, his strength has stagnated, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by many people, and he has lived quite poorly, he has not given up his theory.
Eric raised his hand and pressed down: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with the application of counter-evidence and logical derivation, but, Levsky, open your eyes and look at our world, look at this table, this room, this magical structure shape, they are all different from the geometric appearance you imagined! They are real, you say, which one should we believe? Didn't you pay to print a lot of copies yourself, ready to spread it to other arcanists? Have you been approved by them?"
"No." Levsky bowed his head dejectedly, he used to think that the members of the review committee and the tower arcanists were too rigid and conservative to "kill" his thesis, so he planned to spread his geometric system to young magicians who had not yet accepted too many inherent theories, as well as to the authorities in the field of mathematics, Speaker Douglas, Lord Hathaway, Lord Paris and others. You go a little outside the straight line and make two parallel lines, try it!
And several authorities in the field of mathematics have also remained silent.
"But I've perfected it." Levsky then emphasized, his tone was a little weaker than his firmness just now, but it quickly disappeared, "You should be able to pass this time, Eric, please."
Eric sighed sympathetically and headached: "But, Levsky, you have submitted it several times in the past ten years, and each time it failed to pass the review, and the committee has regulations that papers must not be submitted repeatedly, so as not to waste the time of the committee members. Look at you, you are in your forties, or a low-level magician, have you spent time studying arcane and improving your magical strength......"
"This is the most complete argument and explanation, Eric, please, submit the paper to Commissioner Evans, and I will concentrate on magic in the next few years." Levsky's gaze was pleading, hopefully authentic.
Eric's smileless face twitched: "Levsky, Commissioner Evans only reviews subversive papers, the kind of papers that will shake the magician's cognitive world and make his head explode, and yours is just a pure mathematical paper, even if it goes against common sense, it has nothing to do with the cognitive world and will not have serious consequences, so according to the rules, it cannot be submitted to Commissioner Evans."
The cognitive world is based on the magician's in-depth understanding of the real world and the results of exploration, and mathematics is just a tool and does not affect its stability.
Before Levsky continued to insist, Eric sighed again: "Well, I will mark the words 'subversive' and 'mathematical' on the surface of your paper, so that in addition to giving it to the two-digit authoritative committee members in mathematics and science for review, I will also send a copy to Commissioner Evans."
He understood that the committee members in charge of the review had not changed much in the past few years, and they had long hated Levsky's paper, and if it weren't for the knowledge that the newly joined committee member Evans was responsible for reviewing the subversive paper, Levsky might not have been able to ask for submission so firmly.
The silver lining is at least hope!
"Thank you, Eric......" Levsky didn't know what to say.
Eric waved his hand: "Go back and wait for the review results, I hope your life can get on track as soon as possible."
Levsky nodded solemnly, uneasy and full of expectations, can Commissioner Evans take a fair view of his paper?
…………
On the fifteenth floor of the Magic Tower, in a spacious and bright room.
From time to time, the magic circle that shone with milky white light stretched out its arms and distributed the papers one by one.
"Mathematics? Subversive? Turn to Mr. Nesika, Ms. Milina, Mr. Evans." The metallic voice paused for a moment before making a choice.
…………
In the cognitive world, the starlight hangs down, the elements move, and the electrons surround it, Lucian spreads his spiritual power, fusing with starlight, elements, ice and snow, etc. in a fluctuating way, and then carefully shakes the earth, gradually adding the properties of "spiritual particles" to the instantaneousness of time.
In this regard, Lucian was very cautious, the change was extremely small, and he was worried that his mental power would get out of control because of this, which would lead to the shock and destruction of the entire world of knowledge.
I don't know how long it took for Lucian to finish his early morning meditation, leave the bedroom, enjoy breakfast, and then take a walk to the Magic Tower of the Council Headquarters.
"Hi, Lazar, why are you smiling from ear to ear today?" As soon as he entered the Atomic Research Institute, Lucian saw Lazar, who usually didn't arrive early, pacing back and forth in the office alone, with his mouth wide open and a bright but silly smile.
"Huh? Lucian, you came so early." Lazar was startled, and then said triumphantly: "I can fly!"
As he spoke, he flew up and almost hit the light blue ceiling.
"Tsk, I've been promoted to the middle level, so I have to invite us to celebrate." Lucian finally understood why Lazar was so excited, so he joked with a smile.
Lazar staggered down and said happily: "There must be a celebration banquet!"
Then he showed a hint of gratitude: "Thank you, Lucian, I have followed you on the most cutting-edge research in the elemental field in the past few months, which has made my understanding of elemental magic more profound, especially the discovery of electrons has stabilized my cognitive world a lot, so that I can be promoted ahead of time when my mathematical ability has not improved too much."
"Otherwise, what are we doing exploring the nature of the world?" Lucian joked, and then said in a slightly solemn tone, "But you can't ignore the improvement in mathematics and science, the further we go, the more we rely on the tool of mathematics."
Lazar nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I know very well what my problem is, speaking of which, after joining the Atomic Research Institute, everyone's arcane level and magic strength have increased rapidly, Annick, Splinter, Katrina and they all told me that they already have the ability to be promoted to official magicians, and they are only a period of mental power accumulation and potion assistance."
During Lucian's departure, Lazar and the others continued to experiment with cathode rays and the properties of cryogenic materials according to the pre-arrangement, but there was no longer such a compact content, so they could free up time to do some research of their own.
"I'm happy to see them grow up." Lucian said with satisfaction.
After chatting for a while, Lazar suddenly said: "Lucian, what do you think of His Excellency the Speaker's recent experiment?"
Sure enough, it is a hot topic recently, related to the eternal wave particle debate, Lucian scolded and simply replied: "If the other theories of Your Excellency are true, then the 'etheric medium theory' can be discarded." Although there will still be many people who come up with various theories to make up for this theory.
"As expected of Lucian Evans, who is a sharp subversive and likes to blow up other people's heads." Lazar joked and said many arcanists' "opinions" on Lucian.
"Maybe I will have a relevant title in the future...... Well, Lazar, I'll go to the committee office first, then go to the teacher to study, and come back later to help you celebrate your promotion to the intermediate level." Lucian saw that it was not early, Roque, Heidi and others had already arrived, and his conscience found out, so he decided to go to the arcane review office, although if there was a paper, the steel golem would be delivered to his home in the evening, but since he came to the headquarters, he still stopped by to take a look, so that the office would not be empty forever.
…………
As soon as he stepped into his luxurious office on the fifteenth floor, Lucian saw a steel golem greeting him, and said in a metallic voice: "Master, I just sent a paper."
"Do you have a paper?" Lucian asked curiously, he didn't expect there to be a paper at all, because what he needed to review was subversive content, and there were so many in the arcane world, "Take a look."
Taking the paper in the hand of the steel golem, Lucian saw the words subversive and mathematical, and suddenly had a direction in his heart.
"'Rigorous Proof of Geometric Principles and Parallel Line Theorems'......"
After flipping through it casually, he found that it was mentioned in the summary as a complete version, and Lucian frowned slightly and ordered the Steel Golem: "Go to the Arcane Library to exchange similar papers submitted before, uh, along with the evaluation opinions of the review committee."
It has been changed.
Everyone is so strong, there are only a few dozen votes left in front, please continue to support~
By the way, today, Monday, throw me a recommendation ticket too, hehe
