WHEN THERE IS A WILL.......

Hmmmm!!! I get really excited and motivated when I find articles such as this. I am so inspired by them to walk in my purpose. I cannot be seen wasting any moment of my remaining life and days on earth. I am most excited because both young and old are aware of this fact and some are not doing badly at all.

I am so proud of these two and amazed that teenagers of their age may be changing the Mathematics world forever, Wow!!!. Let's ask ourselves a sincere question for a minute, What are you bringing to your generation that can bring about a transformation even for your neighbour?.

We all have what it takes to impact lives. we just need to identify our gifts and begin to use it. Many do jobs or pursue careers because of the money they will get but world changers pursue their calling because of the transformation and change that it will bring to their generation.

Join me as I celebrate this geniuses and look beyond what you are seeing now and look within to annex that seed of greatness, You have got it!!!!!

Teenagers’ maths theorem could pave way for interstellar travel

Two teenagers have created a mathematical theorem that could help pave the way for interstellar travel.

Xuming Liang and Ivan Zelich, both 17, corresponded through an online maths forum when they realised they were both working on the same problem.

It is now said the result of their collaboration may change the face of mathematics forever.

Not bad for a couple of high schoolers.

Xuming, who is originally from Guangzhou in China but now lives in San Diego and Ivan, from Australia, told MailOnline they spoke though Google chat and Facebook and worked in ‘shifts’ – when one went to sleep, the other took over.

‘Since our time zones don’t concur, one of us tend to stay up really late to complement the other,’ Xuming said.

‘He was the only person I could find who I connected with mathematically,’ Zelich added.

‘I found out we were both working on the same problem at the same time but he was more geared towards one side of the geometry and I was more geared towards the algebraic and string theory side.’

Zelich said the main application of their calculations was ‘understanding the structures of the universe.’

‘The theorem will contribute to our understanding of intergalactic travel because string theory predicts existence shortcuts in space, or so-called “wormholes” to cut through space.’

‘It also helps finding minimal possible math between certain planets based on their structure,’ he said.

Zelich said that school was restrictive and he didn’t have the time to chase the top grades due to the effort he was spending on his at-home research. He was offered a university scholarship aged 14 but turned it down. He speaks six languages, has completed his piano diploma and has represented Queensland in chess at the Nationals.
