Chapter 355 - The day of the Nobel Prize in Physics

Sure enough, when people get old, their ability to understand declines.

Qiao Ze looked at Xu Dajiang in a trance, thinking of the various preferential treatment that the dean gave him when he first came to Xilin University of Technology, and decided to say a few more words.

"I mean, the renewal of the major in the school is more important than whether I can win the Nobel Prize. Now that some of the achievements I have made have been proven by the mainstream academic community, it doesn't matter whether the Nobel Prize is awarded to me or not. And because of the José Prize in Natural Sciences, I hope they don't give it to me.

On the other hand, if they do give me the award, it doesn't matter if I go to accept it or not. If you need me to have this title for any kind of publicity, I can use it as well. So it doesn't matter to us or to the school what the outcome is.

But it is important for the school to renew its majors. A motivated university should look forward, not conformist and let students learn what is already behind. ”

Xu Dajiang felt that what Qiao Ze said was very reasonable, and it was he who was obsessed.

As long as there is no one in Huaxia who has no overseas study experience so far and has won Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry.

Therefore, if Qiao Ze can really win the Nobel Prize in physics, the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology can theoretically be said to become the first college in Chinese history to cultivate Nobel laureates completely by its own strength.

Although such publicity is somewhat shameless, from Xu Dajiang's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, being able to recruit a student like Qiao Ze to Xilin University of Technology is a strength in itself.

At that time, the school also grabbed Qiao Ze from Jiang University, Xi'an Jiaotong University and other first-class universities in central China. In order to keep Qiao Ze in school and not be run away by those schools in the capital that don't talk about martial arts, he also made great efforts.

Therefore, Xu Dajiang really feels that the honor of the School of Mathematics is well deserved.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the two precursor papers that solved the Young-Mills conjecture and the quality gap problem were also funded by the School of Mathematics.

All of the above, although Qiao Ze hoped that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would better not award the award to him, but when Xu Dajiang left, he still hoped that the group of physics on the other side would still have a face.

It will take a few years for the Joser Science Prize to slowly accumulate influence in the academic community to replace world-class scientific awards such as the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, and the Turing Award. But before that, Xu Dajiang felt that this did not affect Qiao Ze to brush up on the foreigner's awards first.

In a sense, Xu Dajiang and Lotter Dugan have similar views on this type of award. It is nothing more than that Xu Dajiang put his hope on Qiao Ze, while Lott Dugan was very envious of Edward Witten's good luck.

The two who have high hopes are twenty years old, and there are infinite possibilities; The other is 73 years old this year, and even if he has an extremely strong accumulation of knowledge, it is difficult to expect another pioneering achievement at this age, but he is an excellent candidate to do some academic research auxiliary work.

Thinking that Edward Witten was also about to come to Xilin, Xu Dajiang suddenly had a more unrealistic idea when he left Qiao Ze's office.

It would be good if Qiao Ze and Old Witten won the Nobel Prize at the same time this time.

In this way, the Xilin School of Mathematics is equivalent to having two Nobel laureates and one Fields Medal winner sitting in the field for a long time. If you wait another two years, there will be two Fields Medal winners. It's not that Xu Dajiang is superstitious about these awards, and when the mainstream academic community still recognizes the authority of these awards, it is better to decorate the façade with these awards.

People are always greedy.

However, Qiao Ze's words made Xu Dajiang suddenly have a sense of expectation for the promulgation of the Nobel Prize. Let it be, he can't interfere anyway.

……

October 5th.

On the fifth day of the National Day holiday, in dormitory 402, it was already evening, but Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang were still doing their homework.

Compared with the state of learning in the basic class, Qiao Ban is obviously more tired.

It's not that the amount of homework is large, in fact, the amount of homework is about the same, and the main thing is the increase in difficulty.

And math homework often has a characteristic, no matter whether the amount is large or small, it can always be completed quickly. If you can't do it, you can only grind it slowly.

If each question needs to be explained, it will naturally slow down the progress of the question.

This means that two people have been advancing and retreating together, if there is only one person, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold on for a long time.

After all, there is a slut in the dormitory, who went out chic just after the holiday, and he hasn't come back yet.

Compared with Chen Yiwen, the life of the two during this period was indeed too hard.

Finally, after struggling to write for a while, Zhang Zhou suddenly put down the pen, stood up and moved his body, rubbed his wrists, and then turned back to Gu Zhengliang, who was still staring at the scroll and meditating, and said, "Are you hungry?" Let's go eat first, shall we? ”

Gu Zhengliang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zhou and asked, "How many questions are you missing?" ”

"There are only the last two big questions left, I don't understand it, eat first, and then ask Xiaozhu in the afternoon." Zhang Zhou replied.

"Oh, then we're pretty much stuck, we're stuck on the last two big questions." After speaking, Gu Zhengliang also put down the pen, and then picked up the mobile phone placed next to him.

In order not to interfere with their studies, the two of them put their phones on silent mode and put them next to them. In this way, even if the phone comes, it will not ring, it will just keep flashing, and you can see it out of the corner of your eye.

"Wow, look at the news just pushed, at 11:45 local time on October 5, Sweden, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced. Chinese mathematician Qiao Ze, Chinese physicist Yang Xuanqing and American mathematical physicist Edward Witten won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics......"

"What, Brother Qiao really won the Nobel Prize?" Zhang Zhou immediately came over.

At this time, Gu Zhengliang had already opened his mobile phone, which was the message pushed by the browser, but when he saw that the source of the news was the central media, the two of them could basically confirm that this was true.

According to this newspaper's reporter in Sweden, XXX reported: The president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has just announced the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, and Chinese mathematician Qiao Ze, Professor of Physics at Huaqing University in China Yang Xuanqing, and American mathematical physicist Edward Witten have won this year's Physics Prize.

Professor Qiao Ze received the award for solving the Young-Mills equation and the mass intermittent problem, as well as for proposing the Contained Quantum Theory, which predicted the existence of gravitons and gave a method to verify their possibility.

Prof. Edward Witten and Prof. Yang Xuanqing were awarded on the basis that the team they led successfully found evidence of gravitons. ”

……

",,, really won the Nobel Prize! Twenty-year-old Nobel laureate! Brother Joe is awesome! After quickly scanning this text message, Zhang Zhou directly burst out foul language.

No matter how much Qiao Ze doesn't value this award, this is the Nobel Prize after all.

For ordinary college students, even if the Nobel Prize really becomes a pheasant award in the future, at least it is not something they dare to fantasize about now.

Not to mention that people have already finished studying the slightly simpler things in advance.

What is left to future generations is super difficult. Just learning the knowledge left by the predecessors has already cost many people their lives, let alone making further progress on the basis of the predecessors.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and announce the good news in the group."

As Gu Zhengliang spoke, he quickly opened WeChat, and then found that the two of them turned out to be an afterthought.

Although it was only 5:59 p.m., six hours ahead of China time, and it had only been fourteen minutes since the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the news, several class group chats were already lively.

Whether it is the group chat of the basic class or the group chat of the Qiao class, they are enthusiastically discussing the news.

Especially in Qiaoban's group chat, even Doudou was @ out to participate in the discussion.

"Professor Qiao won the Nobel Prize, it's too strong."

"Isn't that how it should be? When Professor Qiao announced that the Yang Mills equation had a common solution, some academicians had already said that it was a Nobel Prize achievement. ”

"No, the Nobel Prize is the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize is the Nobel Prize. After all, this award was awarded to Professor Qiao by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. ”

"That's it, Professor Qiao is mighty."

"Didn't anyone talk about Professor Witten and that Professor Yang? I think they picked up the Nobel Prize, @豆豆, I remember the content you posted on Weibo at that time, Professor Qiao had already given suggestions on how to test it, right? ”

"Hahaha, that's right. However, that suggestion is only the general direction, and how to design experiments and verify them still requires brains. Besides, isn't it just a Nobel Prize, look at your unpromising appearance, let me tell you, since you can enter Qiaoban, you will be a candidate for the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize again in the future.

So these don't matter, if there is a Qiao Ze Natural Science Award winner among you in the future, then it is the strongest scientist in the world, so you have to work hard. Friendly reminder, the National Day holiday is almost over, are you done with your homework? (Squint)"

"The bean guide is mighty!"

"The bean guide pattern is really high! Learn from Doudao. ”

……

Looking at the farts in the WeChat group, Gu Zhengliang glanced at the few rolls that had not yet been completed, and then looked up at Zhang Zhou, and instantly did not dare to appear in the group again.

After all, their homework is really not done yet.

However, the sycophants in the group gave Zhang Zhou inspiration: "I'm going to congratulate Brother Qiao and Su Xuewei." ”

This is where the two of them are superior to the others.

As Qiao Ze's former roommates, they have Qiao Ze's WeChat, but they rarely contact each other because they have nothing to do, after all, they are afraid of delaying Professor Qiao's scientific research. But today this situation is clearly a special case.

Gu Zhengliang pursed his lips and said, "Brother Qiao got married on October 10, and officially announced that he won the Nobel Prize on October 5. Anyway, the Swedes are still very polite. ”

"Damn, this angle is so biased, but it seems to make sense. Isn't this a problem for everyone, people in Sweden come with such a big gift, you say that we go to eat in a vacuum, isn't it right? ”

"Cut, do you think Brother Qiao will care about the three melons and two dates we sent?"

"Wow, look at the Internet, many people say that Edward Witten and Hua Qing that Professor Yang picked up a Nobel Prize after Professor Qiao. Haha, look at this, I bet Professor Witten probably didn't expect that he would win the Nobel Prize in this way. Sure enough, those disciples and grandchildren in the physics world are too weak, and they can't verify a single M theory, bad reviews! ”

Gu Zhengliang glanced at Zhang Zhou's chubby smiling face speechlessly......

In other words, should you really be distracted by such trivial things at this time?

……

Rewind the clock to half an hour ago.

"Congratulations, Professor Witten. You won this year's Nobel Prize. We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm next March. ”

In fact, Edward Witten was a little confused before, and he hadn't come back to his senses when he received the call.

He really didn't expect that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would award him the Nobel Prize in this way this year.

Unlike José, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences called him to inform him of the news before the official announcement.

This would have been the norm as well.

I didn't call to inform Qiao Ze, probably because it would be awkward to make this call after so much had happened on both sides.

From the perspective of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, two more Nobel Prize candidates have been selected this year, also because of the pressure given by the José Natural Science Prize.

Because it is the first year of evaluation, and there is no age limit for the Qiao Ze Natural Science Award, many scientists who have made extremely high achievements are on the list.

Especially many scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Speaking of which, Princeton has a good relationship with José.

The fate of the two sides began with Qiao Ze's first precursor paper on the Yang-Mills equation, so the two sides have maintained relatively close exchanges and contacts. In this case, many scholars in Princeton naturally do not mind listing their names on the official website of the Joser Prize in Natural Sciences and scoring them.

For the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the pressure is still relatively high.

In particular, if a physicist like Edward Witten, who has won a Fields Medal and has never won a Nobel Prize in his life, what will future generations think of the Nobel Prize if the M theory is really proven to be correct, or partially correct?

So he simply took advantage of the fact that the Nobel Prize was awarded to Qiao Ze, and the reason for the award was the discovery of gravitons, and the award was awarded to Edward Witten at the same time.

As for Yang Xuanqing, he was also on the recommended list, and at that time, Edward Witten cooperated with Yang Xuanqing, and the graviton discovered by the two together, and the paper released in CERN was also co-signed by both parties.

Didn't you say before that our Nobel Prize was unfair? Is there too little award to the East? Looking at the two Chinese scientists winning the award, no one should have anything to say, right?

Yes, for the sake of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it is also very thoughtful for its own reputation.

And it's normal to have three winners a year for an award, and no one has anything to say.

A bowl of water can be said to be very flat, taking into account all aspects.

It can only be said that competition really brings about change.
