However, the next morning, mathematics Professor Eduard woke up in great doubt about the correctness of his own research. In academic school, they were not taught to think like this.

– This is some kind of obsession and we need to end it, it seems all this is far from mathematics.

He remembered how he had been approached at the Institute by cranks with various pseudo-theories, proofs that had nothing to do with mathematics, as it seemed to him at the time.

The Professor, as well as then in the distant 2021 year after the failure of admission to the UNIVERSITY, felt that he was wrong again and it is necessary to soberly assess the situation.

The academic school strictly enforced the once-established rules. If any mathematician, even a Professor, began to speak original thoughts that were not comparable to the academic school, he was considered not a professional, but a marginal.

The entire academic system made it possible to develop science only in certain areas within a narrow framework and sharply limited everything that did not correspond to them, and thus limited the intuition and creative abilities of scientists. Everything else was considered pseudoscience, and there was a persistent fight against pseudoscience.

But many talented scientists have been secretly engaged in research outside of the academic school, and some of them (especially outstanding) have then managed to legalize their research within the academic school. Not many people succeeded, but people from outside, that is, not from the academic circle, it was never possible to legalize something even though it was outstanding and worthwhile. Only an invented device in action could legalize the theoretical ideas of the inventor. Such scientists, secretly engaged in theoretical research outside of academic school, were some of the Professor’s friends and colleagues at the Institute, such was his friend Philip, such was Professor green of physics, but the Professor himself, unlike his friends, always had doubts, although he was loyal to the search for friends…most of all, he valued his current position in society, and his current position suited him…

– I should not go out of the framework of academic school, all this is unprofessional, – decided the Professor.

In the afternoon, he had a meeting with Professor Green.
