Chapter 170 The Old King Abdicates and the New King Is Crowned
As soon as the news of the media interview of Nanjing University came out, the Internet suddenly became lively again, and netizens were constantly discussing.
[Reversed, reversed again. ]
[Good guy, he didn't contribute anything in the whole process but said that he was the main communication personnel. This level of shamelessness is also invincible. ]
[His face is thicker than the city wall, more than enough to protect against bullets. ]
[Copying theories is fine, but he even copied other people's calculation data. Tsk, tsk, is this what Peking University teaches? ]
[No wonder students from Tsinghua and Peking University are reluctant to come back after studying abroad. I think they have been exploited by their supervisors and don't return to their alma mater. ]
[Is there any big guy in the mathematics world who can understand what is written on the manuscript and explain it? ]
[I don't understand, but after comparing the papers of this big guy and that Professor Mo, many of the calculation data and processes in the papers are indeed exactly the same as those on the manuscript. ]
[Is this ironclad evidence? ]
[Just ask, how many years will be sentenced for academic plagiarism? ]
[How many years? You think too much. Given the academic environment in China, it is estimated that everything will be fine after an apology. 】
The Internet is abuzz with netizens, and netizens are constantly eating melons and reversing. It feels quite exciting.
At the same time, Renren Daily finally took action.
"Use integrity to lay the foundation of the paper!"
"Be honest, don't plagiarize, insist on originality, and don't falsify. This is the bottom line that academic research should follow."
"Plagiarism is plagiarism, and wrong is wrong."
"It is true that people will make mistakes, but plagiarism is plagiarism. It has nothing to do with age and seniority, whether it seeks personal gain, or whether it involves the recognition of academic achievements. The public can tolerate your mistakes and temporary negligence, but will never tolerate your arrogance and confusion of right and wrong."
"If you don't even have the courage and determination to apologize and self-examine, how can people believe in the quality and authenticity of your work?"
" Disasters often accumulate from small things, and wisdom and courage are often trapped by what they are addicted to. For scholars, the biggest disaster is knowing that they have plagiarized, but still not repenting, and trying to get away with it with their cleverness. "
"In recent years, academic misconduct such as data falsification, paper plagiarism, and piggybacking have frequently appeared in the newspapers and have become a major problem in the academic community. Objectively speaking, this is directly related to their own weak copyright awareness and lack of academic determination. "
"."
"Don't suppress opinions, don't be similar. "Plagiarism is no small matter, and it is not appropriate to plagiarize. Less "take-it-ism" without permission and on one's own initiative is a necessary virtue for both public and private. Respecting intellectual property rights and correctly using cited materials should be the rules and creeds that every scholar adheres to. There is no privilege in this regard. ”
Although a media report in Renren Daily did not directly name the person, combined with the current hot topics, anyone with a discerning eye knew who the news was talking about.
With the charge of Renren Daily, other media that had previously worried about Peking University's reputation and influence quickly followed up, constantly forwarding news links or writing their own articles.
And with the naming of Renren Daily, people who were originally skeptical about the whole thing changed their positions one after another.
On the Internet, a climax surged again.
And Peking University responded immediately.
Mo Kun, who was suspected of plagiarism, publicly apologized, Peking University dismissed Mo Kun's position as a graduate student tutor and never hired him again, and "Advances in Mathematics" revoked Mo Kun's submission and publicly apologized.
Some students at Peking University reported online that they had seen Mo Kun in school.
After the news of Renren Daily came out, he seemed to have aged 20 or 30 years overnight, and his whole body was haggard.
But for such an ending, I am afraid no one will sympathize with his experience.
As an adult, he must pay the price for the bad social impact caused by his plagiarism.
Regarding this matter, Xu Chuan paid attention to the ending.
Mo Kun was finally expelled, which can be regarded as a due punishment.
As a mentor of Peking University, a top domestic university, his every move represents the school. After the incident, Peking University only expelled him and never used him again, which was very face-saving.
Academic plagiarism Plagiarism is one of the most important academic misconducts in the academic world.
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan turned off the news software, sent an email and called Professor Artur Avila and Senior Brother Hu Xingjian of Sun Moon University to thank him.
These two people have continuously expressed their support in the media and online platforms during this plagiarism incident. It can be said that they have fully supported him throughout the whole process.
After dealing with these things, Xu Chuan opened his mobile phone again, and he and his mentor Chen Zhengping booked a flight to Europe.
A farce ended just like that.
But life is always moving forward, and there are more important things waiting for him in the future.
However, before leaving, Xu Chuan unexpectedly gained another News.
The journal "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" officially published his previous submission.
[A method for accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies using the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem. ]
After nearly half a year of review, this paper was finally officially approved and will be published in the next issue of "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics".
"Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" issued a notice in advance. Xu Chuan, who had already boarded the plane, realized that this might be Professor Terence Tao helping him based on the reviewer.
After all, "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" does not have the habit of announcing the publication of the next issue of the paper in advance.
And he was not familiar with the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics in his life, so it was impossible for anyone to help him.
The only possibility is Professor Tao Zhexuan. Maybe Professor Tao saw that he was in trouble recently and wanted to help in this way.
After all, a core SCI paper can enhance anyone's reputation, not to mention such groundbreaking research results, which will be of great help to the astronomy and physics communities.
Unfortunately, the plane was about to take off and he didn't have time to make a phone call to ask and thank him.
The announcement of the journal "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" traveled across the ocean and returned to China, where it immediately appeared in major media reports.
The first to report this was Renren Daily, which had hit hard before.
"Following the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, young scholar Xu Chuan expanded it to the astrophysical community and used it to complete parameter calculations of distant celestial bodies! 》
While reporting on this research result, "Renren Daily" also quoted the reviewer "Tao Zhexuan" and another astrophysicist "Professor Sal Perlmutter" for their joint evaluation of Xu Chuan's research results.
[This is an extremely outstanding and groundbreaking achievement! 】
Tao Zhexuan: "Maybe I don't know much about astronomy and astrophysics, but from a mathematical point of view, the mathematical methods used in this paper are quite exquisite and groundbreaking."
"As we all know, in the world of mathematics, when a new tool or theorem appears, it often takes a long time for mathematicians to fully understand it, maybe a few months? Maybe a year or two?"
"On this basis, it will take longer to use this new tool or new theorem to make new results, especially to apply it to other fields outside of mathematics."
"It only took three months from the emergence of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies."
"It's incredible that even the founder of this theorem can use a new theorem to produce brand-new results in such a short period of time."
"This is enough to prove the talent and hard work of the pioneers in mathematics. Even I am ashamed of myself."
Professor Sal Perlmutter: "This is a great research result for the astronomy and astrophysics communities. I am honored to complete the review of the paper with Professor Terence Teru."
"Of course, Professor Tao is in charge of the mathematics part, and I am in charge of the physics part."
"There is no way. You have to understand that the mathematical part of this paper is too profound for people in the astronomy and astrophysics circles. I am afraid that there are no more than two people in the entire astronomy and astrophysics circles who can understand the mathematical part. number."
"Back to business."
"For the astronomical and astrophysics communities, this is a historic achievement and an epoch-making achievement."
"With its emergence, we have a brand-new method that can accurately calculate parameter information of distant objects such as mass, diameter, radius, volume, distance, etc."
"It can even be said that with this method, in the future, we can abandon old methods such as the triangular parallax method and Kepler's three laws, or use old methods to assist new methods."
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is the moment when the old king abdicates and the new king ascends the throne."
"It's just that, to my regret, mastering this method and using it to calculate the parameters of distant celestial bodies requires quite advanced mathematical abilities."
"This prevents us from immediately applying it to the astronomical and astrophysicist communities, which requires many astronomers and astrophysicists to enter the field of mathematics."
"But to be honest, it can be difficult because not everyone can understand math."
"I personally hope that the prover of the paper will hold more lectures to explain the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem and its method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies."
"At the same time, I also hope that Xu Chuan can publish a textbook that fully discusses the method of explaining the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies."
"This is very important to the astronomy and astrophysics communities. It deserves a Nobel Prize in Physics, and I will recommend it to the jury of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."
The publication of the paper and the reviewer's evaluation shocked everyone's jaws.
Not only online sites such as scarves and βhu, but also the campus websites of major domestic universities are also discussing it.
"Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" is a journal in the astrophysics community, but the reviewer of submitted papers is a mathematician.
Of course, there is also an astrophysicist, but in the face of Terence Tao's fame, even Professor Sal Perlmutter is a Nobel Prize scholar, and has been somewhat ignored.
However, netizens did not ignore the comments of these two people.
[Astrophysics paper, the review editor is actually a data professor? Funny·GIF]
[Astrophysics community: “What can I do? I can’t understand this math either.”]
[Hiss~, is the Fields Medal two years later not enough to satisfy this giant? Now I'm heading straight for the Nobel Prize. 】
[That is to say, the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics prize. 】
[Nobel: What kind of garbage are mathematicians? 】
[Hahahaha, laugh to death. 】
[If I win the Nobel Prize, I will be awesome. 】
[Stop dreaming. Have you ever seen the Nobel Prize awarded to a young person? The youngest Nobel Prize winner was Lawrence Bragg, who was also 25 years old. ]
[The youngest Nobel Prize winner was 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who won the Peace Prize in 2014. ]
[Peace Prize? Even the US President can get it, no one wants it! ]
[The Peace Prize and the Literature Prize have been rotten for a long time, what kind of garbage are these two? ]
[Should the astronomy community call this big guy the Grandmaster in the future? What if his formula calculation method can really be promoted in the astronomy community? ]
[Hiss~Took a breath of cold air. In this way, isn’t this big guy equivalent to Archimedes in mathematics and Newton in physics? ]
[Oh my god! If I remember correctly, he is only 18 years old, and he has become a Grandmaster? ]
[Big guy is awesome! Screaming at the top of his voice! ]
[This kid is so scary! 】
In addition to these reports from the official media of Renren Daily, self-media and marketing accounts are also frantically taking advantage of the popularity and traffic.
Countless media reporters, whether official or other media, want to interview Xu Chuan.
After all, this big guy was still fighting with Peking University two days ago, and he was on the hot search for many days.
In a blink of an eye, he became a master-level figure in the astronomy and astrophysics circles. This popularity and traffic are not in line with the law of nature.
But unfortunately, Xu Chuan has already boarded the plane and went to Switzerland again.
After nearly a day and a night of flight, Xu Chuan dragged his luggage and stood at the door of the European Organization for Nuclear Research again.
The bronze sculpture of Shiva is still dancing the dance of destruction and creation.
His hair was wildly scattered, holding fire in his left hand and destroying the world with it, and holding a drum in his right hand and creating the world with it, so the world was destroyed in his dance, and reborn in his dance. The universe is repeated in his dance, and the cycle is endless.
This is similar to the characteristics of quantum in science. Whether it is the "uncertainty principle" or the "wave-particle duality", they are like Shiva's nature, two sides of the same coin of birth and death.
The research on high-energy physics is like Shiva dancing. The large-scale particle collision is like Shiva's third eye, observing the world. In the blink of an eye, periodic destruction and periodic rebirth.
Hundreds of years ago, artists used bronze statues to depict Shiva's dance, and in the new era, physicists use advanced technology to depict the dance of the universe.
Staring at the sculpture, Xu Chuan paused.
In another day, the LHC experiment on the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks will be restarted, and it will be just around the corner to verify whether his theory and calculation are correct.
