The other winner was not left behind either.
Rather, the journalists were much more interested in the young laureate who suddenly appeared in the field of vision than in the already blown-up German scholar.
Especially, the age of this winner is only twenty-one years old, breaking the record of the youngest age of the winner of the Cole Prize!
It was simply big news!
The reporter of the British Daily Mail grabbed the opportunity, and this blonde sister was the first to ask: "May I ask Mr. Orion, what do you plan to do after you receive this prize money?"
When he heard the question, Orion subconsciously thought of answering "saving up to buy a house", after all, that's what his father always nagged him to do.
But then it occurred to him that it would be inappropriate to answer in public, so he cleared his throat and spoke.
"I'm going to use this money as a research grant, and at the same time start challenging the next conjecture!"
The reporter's eyes lit up and continued, "May I ask what your next goal is?"
"Goldbach's Conjecture is a good choice," Orion said with a smile, "but it's hard to say, after all, I've been focusing on 750 GeV signals lately as well, and there are just as many topics in mathematical physics that are worth digging deeper into, and that might hold some of my energy. "
Small exclamations of surprise came from the journalists gathered around.
Goldbach's Conjecture!
The characteristic peak of 750 GeV!
Although Goldbach's Conjecture was lower than the Millennium Problem in terms of importance and research value, it was treated as one of the "Three Great Mathematical Problems of Modern Times", and its difficulty and influence were still quite astonishing! Especially its influence in the minds of the public is no less than that of the Millennium Problem.
As for the 750 GeV characteristic peak, many journalists who do science column news cannot be unaware of the "750 incident" that was so popular in the middle of the year.
The CERN press secretary has blown up the discovery as a beacon illuminating the last piece of the Standard Model puzzle!
Might ......
the discoverer of the 750 GeV characteristic peak has made another major discovery?
Orion has given the journalists another hard time.
It's a bit too much information for this news headline.
The Cole Prize in Number Theory and the Cole Prize in Algebra are two completely different prizes, and the two winners do not share a medal, so naturally there is no such thing as splitting the prize money in half.
The cheque for $100,000 was sent to Orion and Scholze, along with their respective medals.
In the evening, the Federal Mathematical Society held a dinner in the five-star hotel next to the Berkeley campus, in accordance with the usual practice.
Because it was Christmas, the dinner was full of festive atmosphere.
There were no Christmas trees or bells tied with ribbons, but Orion saw the classic roast turkey and trunk cake.
As the youngest winner of the Cole Prize in Number Theory, and the only one of its kind to have the Federal Mathematical Society make an exception by awarding the prize twice in the same year, Orion naturally received a lot of attention from his peers in the field at the banquet.
