Chapter 274: The Lost East, the Harvested Mulberry
The award ceremony began.
The first award was the "New Horizons Prize in Fundamental Physics", which was established under the same rules as the "New Horizons in Mathematics" Award.
A total of three groups of "New Horizons in Fundamental Physics Prizes" will be awarded to young physicists, with a single prize of US$100,000.
The guest of honor was Apple's vice president, who announced the names of the winners of the three categories of "New Horizons in Fundamental Physics Awards" and the reasons for their awards:
"The first group of 'New Horizons in Fundamental Physics' was awarded to Julian Dodge of Princeton University for his contributions to the field of superfluids and superconductors!"
"The winners of the second group of 'New Horizons in Fundamental Physics Awards' are Ben Hill of the California Institute of Technology and Hugo Rodrian of Stanford University for their breakthroughs in the field of local magnetic moments!"
"The third group of 'New Horizons in Fundamental Physics' was awarded to Jürgen-Auger of the University of Freiburg and Garland Spire of the Swiss Federal Institute Zurich for their remarkable research in the field of chaotic phenomena in quantum systems!"
The audience applauded, and the three groups of winners came to the stage to accept the awards, they were all young, the youngest was 28 years old, and the oldest was only 36 years old.
The Princeton winners on the East Coast will receive $100,000, the Caltech + Stanford winners on the West Coast will receive an equal share of $100,000, and the two winners in Europe will also receive an equal share of $100,000.
Scientific Breakthrough Awards & The sponsors of the New Vision Awards are all well-known tycoons, and their corporate businesses are mainly divided into several types, such as online business, social networking, software development, black technology research and development, platform construction and operation, and venture capital.
The rich may not understand life sciences, physics and mathematics, but the judges hired by their organizing committee are all academic authorities.
Physicists selected three groups of winners based on their research in the fields of superfluids and superconductors, local magnetic moments, and chaotic phenomena in quantum systems.
These research directions all fall into one category: condensed matter physics.
In today's physics world, condensed matter physicists win the world.
"If condensed matter physics wants to come up with research results, it has to burn money. Through this conference, Shen Qi learned about many of the latest trends in the academic world, not only in mathematics, but also in physics and life sciences.
$100,000 is not enough for cutting-edge physics research, and the cost of an experimental machine is not enough.
The bigwigs of companies such as Google and Apple are not very afraid to pretend to be B in front of top scientists, and luxury cars, mansions, yachts, supermodels, and supermodels are outdated.
If the funds from the physicists' experiments were used to buy a stake in Google, the physicists would immediately become Google's largest shareholders.
Just one Princeton, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Tech companies have a lot of respect for scientists because they have their own labs and do R&D, and they know that the world's best cash-burning Shenhao often comes from top labs.
If you want to say that the most low-carbon and environmentally friendly subject, it is still mathematics.
Mathematics is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, mathematics does not burn much money, but the status of mathematics is high.
It is precisely because mathematicians provide basic theoretical support that physicists have a reason to spend money to test theories and develop applications.
Next, it is the turn of Google's vice president to take the stage to present the awards, and he will present three groups of "New Horizons in Mathematics Awards".
"The first group of the New Horizons in Mathematics Award was awarded to Marina Viasovska of the Swiss Federal Institute in Lausanne for her remarkable achievements in the field of Riemannian geometry and combinatorics!"
The Swiss Federal Institute of Research is a powerful but low-key research institution, and Galan Sbel, who has just received the New Horizons in Fundamental Physics Award, is from the Zurich branch of the Swiss Federal Institute.
The first group of the New Horizons Prize in Mathematics was awarded to a beautiful mathematician, Vyasovska, a Ukrainian from the headquarters of the Swiss Federal Institute in Lausanne.
"Eastern European blonde beauties, good-looking, powerful, and deservedly so. Shen Qi applauded and congratulated, recognizing Vyasovska's contributions to Riemannian geometry and combinatorics.
Surprisingly, the second group of the New Horizons in Mathematics Award was also awarded to a female mathematician.
"The winner of the second group of the 'New Horizons in Mathematics' Award is Sophia Morel from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field of algebraic geometry!"
A dark-haired white woman took the stage to accept the award, Sofia Morrell, a Frenchwoman who was the apprentice of Grothendieck, the grandfather of the Paris School.
Grothendieck is the godfather of algebraic geometry, and Sofia Morrell studied under Grothendieck, and her main focus is on algebraic geometry, which is the hottest direction in mathematics today.
"My sister is half the sky!" Shen Qi applauded and congratulated, agreeing with Sophia-Morrell's research achievements in the field of algebraic geometry.
Around the world, there are more and more girls who study mathematics, love mathematics, choose mathematics as a lifelong career, and achieve excellent results, which is the general trend.
The girl is half the sky, the first two groups of the three groups of "New Vision Awards in Mathematics" were awarded to two European girls with good looks and high IQ, one with blonde hair and a bun, and the other with natural brown hair, each with its own characteristics.
Shen Qi tidied up his bow tie and prepared to take the stage, the last group of "New Vision Awards in Mathematics" was for him, he thought so.
The third group of "New Horizons in Mathematics" was presented by the CEO of Netbridge Ventures, who announced: "The winner of the third and final group of "New Horizons in Mathematics" is ......".
Shen Qi smiled and buttoned up his suit, he was ready to accept the award decently.
"He's ...... Congratulations to Professor Maynard for his important contributions to the field of number theory, and to invite Professor Maynard to accept the award!"
"This ......" Shen Qi was stunned, it wasn't me?
"Walter ......" Professor Maynard beside Shen Qi was also stunned, it was actually me?
Before the award, it was widely believed that Shen Qi would win the "New Vision in Mathematics Award", and the young British mathematician Maynard was expected to share the $3 million "Breakthrough in Mathematics" prize money.
However, the organizing committee does not play cards according to the routine!
Shen Qi failed to win the last group of "New Horizons in Mathematics Award".
The final group of the New Horizons in Mathematics Award went to Maynard.
Although it was particularly unexpected, both Shen Qi and Maynard returned to normal in the shortest possible time.
Shen Qi took the initiative to shake hands with Maynard beside him, showing a generous and calm attitude: "Congratulations, Professor Maynard, this award should belong to you, you are an excellent representative of young mathematicians." ”
"Thank you. Maynard smiled awkwardly and politely and took the stage to receive the New Horizons in Mathematics Award and a check for $100,000.
It looks elegant and calm, but Shen Qi was entangled in his heart, he performed with me the day before yesterday, and he didn't show the effect I wanted, he didn't give me an award, I'm a ghost, I can't afford to lose this person, in the face of friends in the media industry, my bull is blown out!
At this time, the vice president of IMU, Fields Medal winner Jones, took the stage, and he will present the heavyweight award "Breakthrough in Mathematics", which is worth $3 million, and more importantly, the "Breakthrough in Mathematics" title is bigger and more respectable.
Jones, who won the Philip Prize in his thirties and is less than 60 years old this year, began to announce the winners: "The first winner of this year's Breakthrough in Math Award is ...... Gong Changwei of Columbia University in recognition of his breakthrough in the field of number theory!"
"The second winner is...... Alessio Figari of Princeton University for his outstanding contributions to the field of partial differential equations and differential geometry!"
The third laureate is also from Princeton University...... He is...... Shen Qi's research achievements in the fields of number theory and functional analysis are very representative!"
"I would like to invite the three winners of the 'Breakthrough in Math Award' to come to the stage to receive the award!"
The audience applauded.
Shen Qi was surprised and delighted, this was really unexpected, the $100,000 was gone, but he got an upgraded reward of $3 million.
Winning the heavyweight award of "Breakthrough in Mathematics" marked a successful end to Shen Qi's trip to Washington, and he could leave the imperial capital of the United States with dignity.
