Chapter 68: Sensational Reaction
Rumble!
It was as if a bombshell had been dropped on the entire conference room, and it became silent for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All the leaders who participated in the meeting were stunned by this sudden news, they were shocked inexplicably, and it took a long time to react, Mr. Zhou Chen from the Department of Physics, is the person they were discussing just now?
He received a ...... from the International Center for Theoretical Physics Dirac Medal?!!
Except for a few leaders with ecstasy on their faces, the rest of the leaders all looked ignorant.
Yes, in fact, most of the leaders attending the conference did not know what the Dirac Medal was, but since it was established by the International Center for Theoretical Physics, it should be a very powerful award.
"You, you're Xiao Li, you can give us a detailed explanation, what did Xiao Zhou get...... Dirac Medal, what kind of award is that? ”
The staff who was called out by Secretary Liu was excited, which shows that he has left an impression in the heart of the party secretary of the school! But soon he showed a smile that was even uglier than crying, the dream and the nightmare were only in a thought, the dream was for the leader to remember, and the nightmare was the question asked by the leader that he could not answer.
This staff member surnamed Li is actually an ordinary staff member of the president's office, and the leader held a meeting today, and the director and deputy director of the president's office were present at the venue, so that he was the only one on duty in the entire president's office.
When the International Center for Theoretical Physics called, Xiao Li, who had a good English foundation, answered the phone, and then rushed to report the good news.
Just when Xiao Li was standing there a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say, the person in charge of the Propaganda Department (News Center) of the Party Committee stood up.
I only heard the person in charge say with an excited expression: "Secretary Liu, Principal Zhang, this Dirac Medal is a big award!" ”
"Oh? Minister Wang knows the situation? Tell us about it! ”
Secretary Liu and President Zhang all looked interested.
"Yes!"
Minister Wang cleared his throat and said in a slightly intoxicated voice: "First of all, I will say that this institution is called the International Center for Theoretical Physics, which is a non-governmental international scientific and technological organization affiliated to UNESCO and the International Atomic Energy Agency, headquartered in Trieste, Italy, and funded mainly by the Italian government, the International Atomic Energy Agency, UNESCO and the United Nations Development Programme. ”
"It's not small!" This is what the participants thought after listening to Minister Wang's introduction.
"Well, you go on ......"
Minister Wang nodded and said, "The Dirac Medal is an annual award set up by the institution in 1985 to commemorate the British physicist Dirac, and it is currently the highest honor in the field of theory and mathematical physics!" ”
"Highest honor?"
Secretary Liu was stunned, and he gradually tasted it, and the highest honor in the field of theory and mathematical physics was awarded to a twenty-five-year-old young man? Could this be something wrong?
There were also many people in the conference room who had the same doubts, especially Minister Wang, after coming back to his senses from the initial surprise, the doubts in his heart were the strongest among all of them.
The Dirac Medal is extremely high, so it is generally not awarded to the winners of the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal and Wolf Medal with the same high gold content, in order to give glory to more people who have contributed to science. But then again, if it is such a grand award, how can it be given to a young man who is not even thirty years old? Isn't that ridiculous?
"Xiao Li, are you sure you heard the news correctly?" Minister Wang turned to the staff member and asked.
Xiao Li felt very aggrieved, he was still very confident in his English level, he wanted to answer everyone present "yes" for sure, but in his heart, even he was a little shaken, could it really be that he heard it wrong?
At this moment, a crisp and melodious mountain song sounded in the conference room, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Principal Zhang, who had a calm expression.
In the entire conference room, the only person who likes this tone and sets it as a ringtone for his mobile phone is Principal Zhang.
When Principal Zhang looked at the number, it was an old classmate from the Ministry of Education, he smiled apologetically at everyone, and then connected the phone.
While answering the phone, Principal Zhang's expression became solemn, and it was not until he hung up the phone that he said solemnly: "I think Xiao Li's news is not mistaken, just now an old classmate of mine working in the Ministry of Education gave me good news, and Xiao Zhou of our school has indeed won the Dirac Medal established by the International Center for Theoretical Physics!" Tonight's "News Network" will focus on this news! ”
"It's incredible!" Everyone exclaimed.
Principal Zhang smiled: "Yes, it's really incredible!" You may not know that Xiao Zhou not only wrote the article "On the Laws of Thermodynamics of Black Holes" well, but he also wrote two articles even better! ”
"Two more? What are the two articles? Everyone looked curious.
"Relativity Simultaneity and Equation of State for Radiative Propagation of Celestial Bodies!"
Principal Zhang said: "We all stared at Xiao Zhou's "On the Laws of Thermodynamics of Black Holes" and thought that this article was the pinnacle of Xiao Zhou's work, and my old classmate said that although the International Center for Theoretical Physics also thought this article was good, this article alone was not enough to win the Dirac Medal!" On the contrary, the International Center for Theoretical Physics focuses on "Relativity Simultaneous Transitivity" and "Equation of State of Radiative Propagation of Celestial Bodies"! ”
"The Simultaneous Transitivity of the Theory of Relativity" is an article published in the domestic journal "Physics", although it has not caused much social repercussions, but the relativistic ideas and mathematical logic revealed in the article have suddenly been unanimously praised by the mathematical community and general relativity researchers in the past few days."
"In addition, there is the "Equation of State of Radiation Propagation of Celestial Bodies", which has not even been directly published, but this article is even better, it was directly proposed at the International Astronomical Union Congress held just a few days ago!"
"It was proposed by Professor Luo and researcher An Fengsheng of the University of National Academy of Sciences, who brought the "Equation of State of Astronomical Radiation Propagation" at the same time, but also provided observation data that were re-revised according to the equation of state, and more than 3,000 astronomical representatives from various countries who attended the meeting unanimously agreed on the correctness of the "Equation of State of Astronomical Radiation Propagation" after reading it, and asked to give the author the corresponding honor in recognition of his theoretical contributions to measured astronomy!"
"At the request of the people, the International Center for Theoretical Physics took into consideration, and coincidentally, Professor Salad, an American theoretical physicist who was supposed to receive the Dirac Medal this time, died in a car accident in Texas, so after careful consideration by the International Center for Theoretical Physics, it was decided to continue to give Professor Salad the same honor, but this time the Dirac Medal was awarded to Xiao Zhou of our school!"
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, everyone was a little dumbfounded, daring to have such a bizarre coincidence, the International Center for Theoretical Physics could not stand the extensive opinions of the astronomical and measured physics circles, so the Dirac Medal was awarded to Zhou Chen!
In fact, "The Equation of State of Radiation Propagation of Celestial Bodies" is just the fuse that attracts everyone's attention, and this article alone may not allow Zhou Chen to win the Dirac Medal!
When the participating astronomers and astrophysicists collectively asked for an honor for Zhou Chen, when everyone searched for his related deeds, they found that he had also contributed an article on "Simultaneous Transitivity of the Theory of Relativity".
And it was this article that was almost buried, but after it was excavated, it aroused wide recognition by relativity researchers and the mathematical community, and the Dirac Medal itself is a bright pearl in the field of theory and mathematical physics, so the Dirac Medal was finally sent to Zhou Chen by combining the power of the three articles.
Secretary Liu patted his thigh excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, our Beijing Normal University, as Xiao Zhou's work unit, is not going to be lively and lively!" ”
At this time, Secretary Liu was very confident, if there was some suspicion of putting gold on his face when he promoted "On the Law of Thermodynamics of Black Holes" last time, then when Zhou Chen published the last two papers, he really used Beijing Normal University as his mailing address!
The phone number of the International Center for Theoretical Physics was also called to the president's office of Beijing Normal University!
According to Secretary Liu's thoughts, this matter is really lively! It's good to make a big noise!
Compared with the Dirac Medal, publishing a few articles in "Natura" and "Science" is nothing, they are too pediatric, the former is still so lively publicity, and the latter has no reason not to make a sound!
Haven't you heard that even "News Network" has to focus on reporting, and you have to follow the instructions of the central government!
"Now...... Regarding the awarding of the title of Associate Professor Zhou Chen, no one should object. Principal Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked happily.
Oppose? What are you against, now that he is awarded the title of professor, no one has expressed any objections.
If you don't agree, go get a Dirac medal and try it?
The people who opposed the awarding of the title of Associate Professor Zhou Chen before all showed shame on their faces at this time, and sure enough, their steps were not big enough, and their thinking was a little conservative!
