Chapter 314: One Achievement, Two Nobel Prizes
After leaving Xianlin Campus, Xu Chuan returned to NCU.
He opened his computer and created a document to record some of today's arrangements and plans, as well as some of the situations he learned at the project base.
Although he has a good memory, he will not forget what he has seen and understood. But a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He has too many things to be responsible for, and it is normal to forget some things when he is busy.
At this time, he needs a document to assist himself.
And every year, Xu Chuan will create a new plan. In addition to sorting out the goals completed in the past year, new directions and goals will also be added.
In the eyes of others, he can produce Nobel Prize-level results almost every year, but most of these results are just eating up the old capital.
In addition to the achievements in mathematics, whether it is artificial SEI film or inert neutrinos, or nuclear waste power generation technology, they are all things brought back by rebirth.
Of course, the study of mathematics in this life has also brought him great gains.
There is no need to say much about the achievements in the field of pure mathematics. The interim results of Xu-Hodge theorem and NS equation are both top-notch.
But for him, the biggest gain is the perfect integration of mathematical physics in the fields of high-energy physics and particle physics, and the use of mathematics to deeply study physical particles.
In addition, there are computational chemistry models, which are also the path he has opened up in his life.
Although it has just begun, Xu Chuan believes that this road will never let him down. The potential of computational chemistry is definitely far beyond people's imagination.
To be honest, he is still quite satisfied with the current state, at least he has achieved the goal of choosing mathematics as a major at the beginning.
The perfect integration of mathematics with other subjects, helping other subjects, especially physics, to go further, is his dream.
After dealing with these things, Xu Chuan opened his mailbox and cleaned up the emails in it.
There are many people who send him emails every day, and if he doesn't clean it up in a week, it will be directly filled up, so he has to check his mailbox almost every one or two days.
Fortunately, most of the emails can be directly thrown into the trash after scanning them, and the remaining ones that are of interest are left or replied, which does not take much time.
After browsing the emails in the email, Xu Chuan's eyes finally fell on yesterday's email.
When he went to the controlled nuclear fusion base, both the Chinese Academy of Science and Engineering sent him an email.
Xu Chuan clicked on it and saw that it was about the selection of academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering this year. In the email, both the Chinese Academy of Science and Engineering informed him that they were participating in the selection of academicians this year.
Commonly known as: "Academician candidate!"
Of course, whether he can be selected is still unknown.
There is no guarantee in the email, but he was informed that he was on the list of academician candidates.
After all, there are so many people participating in the selection of academicians every year, and there are only a few places in each department, so the competition must be fierce.
As for the selection of academicians, he must have some ideas.
After all, he has won the Nobel Prize and the Fields Prize. Domestic academicians, at least academicians of the Academy of Sciences, can definitely touch it, even if he is so young.
As for whether he can get it steadily, to be honest, it should be no problem to get an academician.
After all, the bonus of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Prize is still quite large. No matter how young you are, you can't ignore these two, and the voices of the domestic people and the academic circle should be considered anyway.
If the Nobel Prize and the Fields Prize winners cannot get the academician, public opinion will definitely explode.
What Xu Chuan didn't expect was that someone from the Academy of Engineering also recommended him.
After all, his main scientific research results are basically in the theoretical field. Even the nuclear waste recycling technology was not accepted until June or July this year.
Logically speaking, it should be until the next academician selection before someone recommends it.
These are good, the candidates of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are all on the list.
As for getting the academician of both academies at the same time, although Xu Chuan also fantasized about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
Although there are academicians of both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, they were all obtained in different years. It is too unbelievable to get the academician of both academies in the same year or the first year.
So after thinking about it, Xu Chuan stopped dreaming.
This year he should be able to get the academician of the Academy of Sciences. After the controlled nuclear fusion project is completed, or after the nuclear waste recycling technology has fermented for a period of time, he should be able to get the academician of the Academy of Engineering.
The time is estimated to be before the age of 30.
To be honest, this is also amazing enough.
Before the age of 30, he was promoted to academician of the two academies. If the news spread, his reputation would scare a lot of people.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan sent an email to thank the two academies and the recommender, and then put his attention back to processing emails.
After spending more than ten minutes, he finally processed the emails that had accumulated in the past few days.
Leaning back on the chair, Xu Chuan stared at the ceiling.
At present, the controlled nuclear fusion project has been launched. Although there is full support from the country, it is not so easy to complete the construction from scratch.
Compared with the basic construction of the project, the core fusion reactor is the real difficulty.
In particular, this time he did not use the conventional tokamak or stellarator device, but the composite device he redesigned in Princeton in the future.
This is a new and unknown route for the current field of controlled nuclear fusion, and no one can guarantee that it will be correct.
At this point, even Xu Chuan himself cannot be sure that this route will succeed.
It can only be said that in the future, composite devices have gradually entered the mainstream, and the composite device that combines the advantages of tokamaks, stellarators and hemispherical beds has greater advantages than other individual devices.
However, even so, there are still many problems to be solved on this road.
As for the current situation, the most important thing is to develop superconducting materials first.
"Professor, the results of this year's Nobel Prize are out, but unfortunately you are not in it. But the winner is related to you."
In the office, Xu Chuan was planning and arranging, and Amelia's naughty and playful voice sounded in his ears.
Coming back to his senses, he looked over. Amelia squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox:
"This year's Nobel Prize was given to Swiss astrophysicists Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, and Vogt Armstrong, an astrophysics professor from New Zealand."
"The first two won the prize for discovering the extrasolar planet 'Pegasus 51b'er for the first time in 1955."
"And the latter won the prize for accurately locking onto a star called 'TRAPPIST-1' in 17 years by using the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem."
"And accurately determined the planetary situation of this star system, and determined that there is a highly similar Earth-like planet in the 'TRAPPIST-1' star system."
The discovery of 51 Pegasus b is a milestone in astronomy, which makes scientists realize that giant planets may also exist in short-period orbits.
The discovery of the 'TRAPPIST-1' star system and high-Earth-like planets has given people hope in the universe. In the future, this may be the second home star for mankind. After all, it is not far from the earth, only about twenty light years away.
The two achievements, separated by more than sixty years, were then awarded together by the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which can also be regarded as a great witness.
For Xu Chuan, although he did not win the Nobel Prize this year, his presence in it cannot be underestimated.
Because this is the second Nobel Prize in Physics for the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.
One achievement has derived two Nobel Prizes in Physics, and for two consecutive years. This is quite shocking even for the entire physics community, or even the entire scientific community.
If one Nobel Prize is enough for major universities to develop corresponding courses, then the emergence of the second Nobel Prize will directly push this achievement into one of the hottest fields.
And as the founder of this achievement, his reputation will naturally be promoted.
Of course, from another perspective, there are not many important achievements in cutting-edge theoretical physics.
Cutting-edge physics is stagnating, which is almost a default for many physicists.
If not, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would not have awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to the same theory for two consecutive years.
Although it is indeed very important.
But this is not a good thing for the Nobel Prize.
As Xu Chuan expected, the announcement of the Nobel Prize in October caused a sensation in the physics community.
The extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem won another Nobel Prize in Physics, making this tool a golden goose in the eyes of all physicists, and aroused the interest and discussion of countless people.
[This year's Physics Prize was awarded to astronomy again. ]
[Haha, I guessed it right. I had previously speculated that the result of the exoplanet that looks 90% similar to the earth might win the Nobel Prize, and it really won it! ]
[I think Professor Xu is even more awesome! One mathematical result won two Nobel Prizes in Physics, which is simply terrible. ]
[Indeed, this result is too exaggerated. It won the Nobel Prize for two consecutive years. It's really amazing! ]
[It's not too late to learn now. Maybe there is a chance to win another Nobel Prize? ]
[What the above said is actually correct. At the International Mathematical Congress in 2018, Professor Xu once said that this set of mathematical methods may be used to calculate high-dimensional space. If someone can do it, he can definitely win another Nobel Prize. 】
【Tsk, at least three Nobel Prizes for one achievement, terrible! 】
With the announcement of the Nobel Prize, all major professional forums and websites have started to discuss it.
It has to be said that the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem was able to win a second Nobel Prize, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
But this also shows the greatness and depth of this achievement.
Many scholars, not only physicists, but even mathematicians, have begun to study the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem out of curiosity.
Maybe there is hope to win a Nobel Prize?
After all, it has already produced two, and it is not impossible to produce another one.
PS: There is another chapter in the evening. It's the end of the month. I'm asking for monthly tickets, dear friends, can you get 3,000? It's only 600 or 700 short. (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
