When it comes to seeking death, the first thing that comes to my mind is not some kind of experiment, so I’ll give it a try.

As the most legendary mathematician in history, Evariste Galois spent his whole life seeking death.

When I was a child, my math teacher and I looked down on each other and we were forced to repeat the grade.

When he was in middle school, he wrote a paper on the algebraic solution of quintic equations (the first time the concept of "group" was introduced in history), and sent it to the great mathematician Cauchy, asking him to forward it to the French Academy of Sciences for review. As a result, Cauchy dismissed it and threw it away.

The following year he wrote three papers and sent them to Fourier, secretary of the Academy of Sciences. However, Fourier died suddenly and the manuscripts were lost.

In the third year, I wrote another paper and sent it to Poisson, an academician of the Academy of Sciences. Poisson said: I don’t understand what I said.

He failed to apply for the école Polytechnique in Paris twice because he couldn't tolerate human stupidity during the interview and hit the examiner in the face with a blackboard brush.

(It’s not a slap in the face!!!) I was finally admitted to the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, but I criticized the principal in the school newspaper and was expelled.

His father committed suicide because he could not tolerate Catholicism. Galois took revenge alone and was arrested for "attempting to assassinate the king."

After his release, he took to the streets to demonstrate and was arrested again... He spent the last year of his life in Saint-Pelagie Prison.

He fell in love with a fireworks woman in prison, and after he came out, he found a love rival to fight to the death.

His love rival was an officer (legend has it that he was one of the best gunmen in the country), but he wanted to compete with others... After being shot to death by his love rival, his friend Chevalier sent Galois's manuscript to the great mathematician Gauss according to his will.

, Gauss still ignored it.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Galois knew it was inevitable and stayed up all night writing down what he had learned from five years of studying mathematics.

It is said that there is also written in the blank of the manuscript: I have no time, no time... What Galois wrote down in the last few hours before dawn solved a problem that had troubled mathematicians for centuries and created a new era.

A new subject - abstract algebra.

Decades later, his research results were recognized by the world and became the theoretical basis of modern computers.

Galois died at the age of 21.

The other one is also a legend.

Girolamo Cardano, a great scientist during the Renaissance, was a close friend of Leonardo da Vinci.

In 1545, he published the general solution to cubic equations for the first time in "Da Shu", and was accused by his teacher Tartaglia, who believed that he had committed dishonesty and plagiarism.

So the two sides met for a duel in Milan.

The smarter thing about Italian mathematicians than French mathematicians is that they don't choose gun battles in duels... They give each other problems to see who can solve them first.

Forget about the final result, these solutions are still called "Cardano formulas", and Tartaglia didn't even leave a name.

Tartaglia is just a nickname, in Italian: tarta tarta tarta tarta, which means stuttering.

Although Cardano did not die in the duel, his method of seeking death was more sharp than Galois.

Through astrology, the great scientist calculated that he would die on September 21, 1576.

Unexpectedly, on the damn day, my legs and feet were smooth and the years were peaceful.

Cardano was puzzled. In order to ensure the accuracy of his scientific predictions, he... committed suicide.

Maybe this is it.
