It is said that peers are enemies, but recently, the Chinese scientific community is full of sourness, and there is a common academic atmosphere that is not Chinese characteristics. The solution of Poincare's conjecture is like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples and shattering countless vinegar vats in an instant. Those colleagues who hid in the shadows, dared to face it directly, and hid knives in their smiles showed their original forms, full of ugliness and sourness.
It is an eternal truth that history remembers only those who ascend to the top, especially in the history of science. As Fermat conjectures, countless people have gone through hundreds of years to explore, and history has only remembered the person who solved the problem – an Englishman. The same is true for the resolution of the poincare conjecture. Although Thurston's geometry provided the basic energy for the ascent, Hamilton's Ricci flow charted the direction for the ascent, and Perelman was still trying to make it to the summit, it was not they who made it to the summit. This is history, and history only remembers that.
Perelman himself has made a high-profile claim that the problem has been solved for years, but it has not been fully publicized. Obviously, this is not the high style of this ** person, but he knows the cruelty and ruthlessness of the scientific community.
