Chapter 647 of the text won the award for the second time?

Next chapter

Not to mention that in Ligo's real room, everyone was busy rescuing Sheldon who had fainted! Yat-sen University was already crowded with reporters from all over the world, who were restlessly waiting for Lu Qiujian and the other members of the Tianqin Project to appear at the school's press conference.

"Eh, do you think Professor Lu can win the Nobel Prize again this time? There are not many people who have won the Nobel Prize twice in history? Even Einstein did not achieve this achievement back then! Will Professor Lu create a miracle again?" The Chinese reporter raised it, and some people whispered.

"Professor Lu's research is different from Einstein's!" After years of work, Feng Hongqi is now familiar with all kinds of allusions in the scientific community, "Einstein's theory of relativity was too advanced to be understood by many Nobel Prize judges, although many scientists nominated Einstein as a Nobel Prize candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but because he was a member of the Nobel Prize jury at that time, Galstrand, winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Medicine, believed that the theory of relativity should stand the test of time, and rejected the application many times on the pretext that the theory of relativity had not yet been proven, resulting in Einstein's failure to be selected year after year. ”

In 1919, the British physicist Arthur Stanley Eddington's famous practical results were in perfect agreement with Einstein's theory of relativity! Only then was the theory of relativity gradually confirmed by scientists! But these were still not enough to convince the judges of the Nobel Committee! It was not until 1921 that the young Orsson, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, came up with a compromise that broke the deadlock of whether Einstein deserved the prize or not. Orson proposed that another of Einstein's research results, the theory of the photoelectric effect, win the Nobel Prize in Physics. In this way, Orson's proposal was accepted by Garstrand and other members of the jury, and Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Feng Hongqi elaborated on the allusions.

"But what does this have to do with gravitational waves?" someone asked, puzzled.

Feng Hong sighed in his heart, he had done so much work because he was going to interview Lu Qiujian, and now these young people probably don't know how to do this, right? Forget it, let's explain it to them clearly, lest they go back and scribble! "Einstein didn't win many awards because his results were purely theoretical, and it took time to confirm!" And Professor Lu's previous award-winning dark matter theory had already been confirmed by him using LH's actual Yàn, so he won the award in a short time! As for the gravitational waves this time, Einstein has already put forward a long-awaited theory in the scientific community!"

If Einstein had been alive, Professor Lu's results might have given him an award! But since 1974, the Nobel Prize Committee has made it clear that it will not award the Nobel Prize to the deceased! So the opportunity to win the prize falls into the hands of someone else! If Professor Lui's results are the result of following a scientist's method, then the opportunity to win the award will be given priority to the scientist who proposed the experimental method! However, as far as I know, the experimental method of the Tianqin Project was completely proposed by Professor Lu independently, and he personally designed the detection method, so if the Nobel Prize Committee considers awarding the Nobel Prize in Physics for the achievement of discovering gravitational waves!

"Oh, I kind of get it! So in this case, Academician Luo of Yat-sen University and Director Guo of Beijing Normal University have little chance of winning the award?" he continued.

"That's true! Although the Nobel Prize allows no more than three people to win the prize at the same time! But this should also be judged by their contributions! For example, Higgs, Braut, and Engler won the same prize because they won the Higgs boson at the same time a few years ago! They independently published a paper on the Higgs boson at the same time within a week, and their contributions in the field of the Higgs boson are similar! The method of detection is made by Professor Lu independently, and the equipment is designed by Professor Lu! The work done by Academician Luo and Director Guo is to lead the team to carry out the method left by Professor Lu! If you look at it this way, their contributions are not on the same level as those of Lu Qiujian! If you want to win an award, you can only win the award by Professor Lu alone! But then again, although there have been several times in the history of the Nobel Prize that most of the scholars have won the prize, their situation is different from that of Professor Lu! It remains to be seen whether the Nobel Committee will award Professor Lu the Nobel Prize twice in a short period of time!"

The first two Nobel laureates were Marie Curie, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with Pierre Curie and Henri Bekele for their work on radioactive phenomena, and then in 1911 for the discovery and isolation of radium and polonium, the radioactive elements.

Then the American chemist Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize as Chemist in 1954 and Nobel ****** in 1962 for explaining the nature of chemical bonds and opposing nuclear weapons, and he was the only person to win the Nobel Prize twice alone.

Physicist John Bardeen won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice in 1956 and 1972 for his research on semiconductors and the transistor effect and the proposal of low-temperature superconductivity, which also made him the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice in the same field.

British biochemist Fred Sanger won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice in 1958 and 1980 for his invention of the enzymatic method for determining the sequence of human insulin and the determination of the sequence of DNA, with a gap of 22 years.

In addition, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has won the Nobel ******Prize twice, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has won the award three times, becoming the most awarded winners, but they are both in the name of an organization rather than an individual, so there is no comparison.

After waiting patiently, Academician Luo and Director Guo finally sat on the podium, and Academician Luo began to explain the significance of this discovery, "After careful research, it was confirmed that this is a gravitational wave emitted by a binary black hole collision and merger event 1.26 billion years ago. The masses of the two black holes before the collision were 31 and 42 solar masses, respectively, and after the merger, they were 68 solar masses. There is a loss of 5 solar masses, which are released as gravitational waves in a thousandth of a second."

"This is a rendering that we drew on a computer based on the number of gravitational waves we detected!" Academician Luo showed the reporters a rendering that was very similar to the Taiji diagram. (To be continued.) )
