It wasn't just the mathematics community that was in a heated debate.
After the collapse of the arXiv server, the news that the ABC conjecture was proven soon spread from the mathematics circle to the entire college circle, then to the entire internet.
In less than a day, whether it was Weibo or Twitter, whether it was WeChat or Facebook, almost everyone was discussing this matter.
"I heard that the ABC conjecture has been solved?"
"What the hell? Solved?! What's going on!"
"Already? It must be wrong, right?"
"No… It seems to be true. I heard that the LSPM research team did it; the team led by Academician Lu. They uploaded the preprint of the paper on arXiv yesterday and took down the server for an entire day."
"Oh! So this is why the arXiv website was down! I thought it was due to maintenance. I couldn't find the computer science papers I was looking for!"
"Jesus f*ck, one paper taking down the entire library, is it that nutty?"
