44. The Problem of Boasting (Page 1/1)

Chen Shuo took off his glasses and rubbed his glasses, "You old boy, you have never told the truth, I don't know your level, can Boss He still not know your level?" But I have to thank you, without you, I wouldn't have developed in the direction of condensed matter." ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Li He wondered.

"Boss Ho, do you drink beer or red wine? "When the wine and food came, Chen Shuo gave the red wine to his daughter-in-law, asked her to pour the wine, and then drank beer with Li He," Alain Aspe and his collaborators won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year when they confirmed the prediction that quantum theory predicted that the correlation between particles in entangled states was beyond the limits of classical examples through the Bell test.

I remember that in class, you made a statistics of more than 100 Nobel Prize-winning achievements in physics according to the distribution of their award-winning achievements.

It can be found that most of the achievements of the Nobel Prize in Physics are concentrated in five fields: theoretical physics, high-energy physics and particle physics, atomic and nuclear physics, solid and condensed matter physics, and experimental and applied physics.

Everyone laughs at you for being idle.

You don't know, I took it to heart, and you predicted that in the future, you would definitely win a large number of awards for condensed matter physics achievements, and have development potential, which will be the growth point of the Nobel Prize in the future.

Another feature of the Nobel Prize after the 80s is that a large number of awards have been won for the achievements of condensed matter physics, and everyone calls condensed matter physics 'future physics', which is a relatively cutting-edge physics discipline at present.

I'm not convinced, you can't. ”

After speaking, he raised a glass with Li He.

"Hey, I almost forgot all this," Li He drank in one gulp, "Later, the statistics were seen by Professor Wu, and he asked me to supplement them and publish them in a physics journal." ”

"You're very ambitious, and a Nobel Prize isn't a big problem for you. ”

"Less flatter me. ”

"This is not a boast, there are so many Chinese who have won the Nobel Prize, why can't it be you?" Li He asked rhetorically.

"I like to hear this, in fact, don't say it, the proportion of Chinese in the population of the United States is very small, just a little," Chen Shuo poured Li He full of wine, "but Chinese scientists account for at least 10% of the members of the American Academy of Sciences, and if you look at Silicon Valley, there are all Chinese and Indians."

Hey, I don't care about myself, I just hope that when someone in our country will win a Nobel Prize. ”

"When we graduated from university, China's first batch of PhDs had just graduated, and besides, which one of the Nobel Prizes can win now is not a continuous and cost-free throwing money?" Li He said helplessly, "In our country, we are still talking about catching up with the international advanced level, and it is not good to say that it will take a few years before we dare to say 'leading' in a certain field." ”

"This is true, basic scientific research often requires decades of perseverance, do not sit on the cold bench for ten or eight years, do not need to think at all, just look at the age of the Nobel laureate. Chen Shuo saw that Li Yi didn't move his chopsticks, "Big niece, eat a little, you're welcome." In the past, the average starting age was 59 years old, but now it seems that with the rapid development of science and the increasingly fragmentation of research fields, the aging trend of science Nobel laureates is becoming more and more obvious.

Take last year's Nobel Prize winner, Boyle of Bell Labs was 85 years old when he won the prize, and Gao Kun, who is also Chinese, was 76 years old when he won the Nobel Prize.

As for us, it has only been many years since the scientific research system was really established. ”

"If you don't tell me, I really haven't found out. Li He has a talent for making mouth cannons, and when he talks about this topic, he is unwilling to press it, "Another point is that there are many achievements in the first few decades of reform and opening up, but almost no articles are sent abroad, and it is basically difficult for our scientists to understand abroad." ”

"I returned to China the year before last to participate in the Changjiang Scholars Program, and the changes in China over the years have been really big, and I have visited a lot of scientific research institutes," Chen Shuo sighed, "Quantum informatics, dark matter, superconductivity, artificial intelligence and other aspects have made outstanding achievements, so I really admire you when I think back to what you said before, what you said, there is no reason why we can't develop!"

"Do you have any plans to return to China?" Li He asked suddenly.

"There's no going back. Chen Shuo shook his head bitterly, "I didn't go back more than 20 years ago because I felt that this was heaven and was seeking the American dream, and now I don't go back because I can't go back......

In the past, I could walk with my eyes closed, I couldn't be familiar with it anymore, I rode a bicycle, I liked to run through the streets and alleys, but now I demolished it, I renovated it, my neighbors ran out, my relatives didn't contact me all the year round, and I was very unfamiliar, so why go back?

Besides, the children all grew up in the United States, have their own jobs, have their own circle of friends, and are also dragging their families, and they definitely can't go back with us, not to mention, they don't know a word of Chinese, and the girl in my family, because of work, has been in Hong Kong for a few years and knows a little Cantonese. ”

"Understood. Li He raised his glass.

The meal lasted until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and He Fang took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to buy the order.

"What's this for. Chen Shuo was angry.

"Old classmate, who of us cares about this thousand dollars now. He Fang smiled and said, "It's a convenient thing." ”

The two families came out of the hotel to say goodbye.

"When you have time to come to the United States, you must come to me. Chen Shuo held Li He's hand and was reluctant to let go.

"Definitely. Li He waved goodbye.

Instead of getting into the car, the family continued shopping along the street.

Li Yi said suddenly, "Dad, you used to be so powerful." ”

She used to be a physics professor, but she never discussed the topic of physics with her Lao Tzu, so she really didn't know what level she Lao Tzu was.

He Fang said, "The physics textbooks in the university are all compiled by your father. ”

"Really?" Li Yi was surprised, of course she didn't know that she didn't study in China.

"Haha, I'm not the editor-in-chief, but I'm only involved in part of the work. Li He said so, but there was no way to hide the smugness on his face.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then Comrade Li, you are very good." ”

"Nonsense, you know astronomy and geography..."

"Zhong Xiaohe, Ming Yin and Yang, understand gossip, Xiao Qimen, know Dunjia. In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away..."She Lao Tzu gasped again, and she picked it up for him. She doesn't know when her son will be able to change her bragging...
