The Funny Nobel Prize is actually a very interesting award, it is set up to select those studies that "make people laugh at first glance, and then they are thought-provoking", which at first glance seems funny, but the scientific content contained in it is definitely not low, for example, the 15-year Funny Nobel Chemist winner is Callum Ormond of the University of Western Australia, and his award was misrepresented as how to chemically make eggs cook, but in fact it is a study of the denaturation of proteins.

Scientists often laugh and ponder when faced with these results, and the unscrupulous media are left with ridicule, of course, if you let them see these results, they will not understand!

Founded by the Science Humor magazine Impossible Research Record, the prize is presented annually at Harvard's Sanders Theatre a week before the Nobel Prize ceremony.

The only time it awarded a prize was in 13 years, when the organizers gave a huge prize of 10 trillion yuan, but at that time it was Zimbabwean dollars, which is only equivalent to 24 yuan, which may be enough for the winner to buy a hamburger.

Although there is no prize money and they have to pay for their own plane tickets, most of the winners will still be happy to participate, because although the awards are funny, many of the winners are real Nobel Prize winners, and it is not a small achievement to be recognized by them; of course, there are exceptions, such as the Wright Laboratory of the United States Air Force trying to develop a "gay bomb". This bomb can cause enemy soldiers to fall in love with each other and lose the will to fight. However, no one in the U.S. Air Force was willing to come to accept the award, which was denounced by the organizers as conservative and backward and lacking a sense of humor.

Let's take a look at how this award is chosen, unlike the Nobel Prize, which requires a personal nomination, and anyone can send it to the marc@improbable by paper mail or email. com to nominate you, well, if your supervisor has done interesting research you can also send an email to this email address.

Every year they receive around 9,000 nominations, which are then judged by former hilarious Nobel laureates, real Nobel laureates, popular science writers, sports stars, public figures, and a random passerby pulled down the street on the day the winner was decided. The final winner will be determined.

In 2000, Andre Heim of the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands won the Funny Nobel Prize in Physics for using magnetic levitation to overtake gravity, levitating a frog in mid-air, and deducing that a similar method can be used to make people float against gravity, and ten years later he won the real Nobel Prize in Physics for his outstanding research on graphene materials.

By the way, there are also Chinese scientists who have won this award, and "Seeing Jesus Christ in the Toast: A Neurological and Behavioral Study of Utopian Trompe l'oeil with a Human Face" won the 10-year Neuromedicine Award.

The Prize encourages the use of the scientific method to conduct research that is laughable at first glance and then thought-provoking with extraordinary imagination and creativity, and more profoundly to encourage the study of a wide variety of interesting things in order to arouse the interest and love of science among the general public.

It's also a way to develop hit science literacy, with the development of science and technology. Ordinary people are getting higher and higher from understanding the frontiers of science! However, people's lives are closely related to all kinds of lofty scientific knowledge, such as genetically modified organisms, such as PX, such as nuclear power plants, etc., people panic because they do not understand, and the government has no use for a lot of lofty technical terms, which everyone will not read or understand!

This is not the solution to the problem, you can't get an ordinary person to reach the level of a doctor of biology, a professor of chemistry, and a nuclear radiation expert through a few articles; the correct way is not to make everyone an expert, but to make everyone a scientifically literate layman, to talk about logic, to talk about evidence, to allow others to be able to clearly express their doubts after speaking, and so on.

And in this regard. The situation in China is not good, and many media outlets, consciously or unconsciously, have played a role in fueling the flames, and they have their own right to speak, wantonly trampling on the academic dignity of experts in other fields. Intercepting part of the remarks out of context and then throwing away the name of a brick beast, and the news audience does not think deeply after reading the news that seems ridiculous at first glance, and subconsciously belittles the level of those experts, and from now on begins to have a sense of distrust of all experts.

Therefore, there are often people who quote scriptures on the Internet after killing and attacking high-tech products such as nuclear power plants. and went to buy weird products such as Shenma anti-gravitational wave radiation suits.

Keep in mind that experts are always more reliable than the media, and if you have to choose between them to believe. Then it is better to trust the experts than to the media, provided that the experts do not distort the facts because of their ass.

The reason why Lu Qiujian thought so much for a moment was because he had already expected that he would encounter similar problems after his plan was implemented, as evidenced by the various attacks on him by the "New North China Daily" before; hey, there is still a long way to go in the popularization of science popularization! I have made some popularization in mathematics before, so should I do some science popularization in physics next?

This is not without its benefits, look at Stephen Hawking, he is not necessarily the best physicist, but he is certainly the most well-known physicist in the world, and even the most widely known scientist, the reason for this is that in addition to his disability, the credit of the best-selling popular science works such as "The Universe in the Shell" and "A Brief History of Time" is indelible.

Well, the dark matter experiment will be completed within this year, and when the experiment is completed, you may be able to relax a little next year, and prepare for this in addition to preparing your graduation thesis! Since the disintegration of the Red Empire, the United States has lost the pressure of competition, and mankind's exploration of space has begun to stagnate, which is greatly detrimental to its own plan! I hope that my popular science works will awaken mankind's desire for space a little!

When he returned to Munich from Geneva and took a taxi to the University of Munich, he happened to meet Professor Theodor Hensch in the physics department building, and Professor Hensch still greeted him warmly, which made Lu Qiujian feel less embarrassed.

After making a few appearances in the laboratory, chatting with Professor Schiffer a few times, and visiting Professor Dietrich at the Observatory, Lu Qiujian was idle again. So why don't you go to Bayern Munich and have a look at the new season? )
