Chapter 108: Back In
I looked at Professor Milik and smiled, "That’s basically it. Well... there’s one more thing I’m planning. Something that will allow science to progress much faster than it currently is."
At that moment, Alice, who was sitting quietly and listening, said, "Professor Maximillian!"
"Yes?" I asked.
Alice, a bit embarrassed, inquired, "Will Professor ever visit MIT again? Perhaps Professor could give a lecture?"
I replied, "Firstly, you don’t have to address me as ’professor.’ each time. Just Maximillian is enough. And as for giving a lecture... I’ll think about it."
Professor Milik added, "If you really want to give a lecture, I’m afraid there won’t be enough space. Not only students but every doctor and professor would want to hear what you have to say."
I smiled and said, "Well... I haven’t had much time to check how the public perceives me. I only checked what people think about my new theory."
Professor Milik said, "Not only is your new theory on everyone’s lips. Thanks to your proofs and frameworks, mathematicians have proven many other theories, like the Balanced Prime or ABC Conjecture. They’ve been proven.
He continued, "The theorem-proving program at London Imperial College, with your artificial intelligence as a base, has proven hundreds of minor theories. Apparently, the doctoral students hate you because they have nothing to prove." He laughed.
I responded, "I see... well, I’ve been quite influential then."
Professor Milik replied, "That’s an understatement. The Fields Medal is going to be given in over 2 years, but everyone already knows that you will be the one to receive it."
