Chapter 273 The Winners Are Getting Older

"I... know, but I still can't understand what he said in person." After turning around to see Li Zhizhi, Zhang Mingjie was silent for a moment, and then he spoke to Li Zhizhi.

"We people, don't worry about why." At this time, Li Mingzhi had already walked into Zhou Ming's office and sat on a chair beside him. After saying this to Zhang Mingjie, he continued to say to Zhou Ming, "I I came here and wanted to talk to you about your Nobel Prize."

When the Nobel Prize winners are awarded, it is usually decades after their award-winning research results, and in recent years, the impression of the Nobel Prize winners seems to be getting older and older.

In fact, not only in recent years, but since the [-]s, the age of Nobel Prize winners in all scientific fields has been getting older and older.

Take the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine as an example. Last year in [-], the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the Japanese immunologist Tasuke Honjo and the American Immunologist for their contributions to the discovery of negative immune regulation to treat cancer. Immunologist James Allison.

Born in 1942, Honjo was 76 years old when he won the award last year.

James Allison was born in 70 and was [-] years old when he received the award last year.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine the year before was awarded to three scholars from the United States who discovered the molecular mechanism controlling circadian rhythm. They were born in 72 and were 73-year-old geneticist Jeffrey Hall, and the 68-year-old biology professor Michael Rosebash who was born in [-] when he received the award, and the youngest of the three, but also born in [-], Michael Young was [-] years old when he received the award.

Since each Nobel Prize can be awarded to up to two or three people at the same time, the amount of the prize cannot be distributed among more than three people. This year, the Nobel Prize Committee could not find a suitable duo, so this year The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to only Zhou Ming.

Like in [-], Academician Tu in Huaguo had one project and one person, but she was not the only one who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that year, but three people. Two scholars are credited with discovering new treatments for filarial parasites.

So why do the Nobel Prize winners seem to be getting older every year these days?Is it because the development of global science and technology has slowed down in recent years, and no one deserves to be awarded the Nobel Prize. Is it because those who have achieved achievements decades ago and are now 70 or [-] years old are selected to present the award?
In fact, this is not the case. The reason why Nobel Prize winners are getting older and older is precisely because the speed of scientific development has not slowed down, but has accelerated.

Just because of the acceleration, more people will be able to pass the award, so more people need to "queue up to receive the award".

100 years ago, there were only about a thousand physicists in the world, but today the number of physicists still alive in the world is probably between 100 and [-] million.

In the early days, the competition was not too strong, and the heavy fruits were all over the branches, waiting for scientists to pick them.

However, high-IQ talents flood into the scientific community, and each subdivision field is full of competition and further subdivision, and the results are becoming more and more specialized and niche. getting bigger.

It is precisely because the age of Nobel Prize winners is getting older and older. Zhou Ming broke this rule and won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at the age of only 26 years old. This is also more important. Show Zhou Ming’s achievements.

The youngest Nobel Prize winner in history is Lawrence Bragg, a physicist who was born in Australia and graduated from Victoria University in Manchester, England. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in [-].

Lawrence Bragg won the Nobel Prize for his use of X-rays to analyze crystal structures. He also established a correlation between X-ray wavelengths, incident angles, and distances between atomic layers within crystals.

As for Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17 in [-], although she is known as the youngest Nobel laureate in the world, Usually the youngest Nobel laureate mentioned by the scientific community refers to the scientific community only, and does not include the Nobel Peace Prize and the Literature Prize.

Needless to say, the Nobel Prize in Literature is too subjective.

As for the Nobel Peace Prize, it is even more outrageous than the literature award. Not to mention anything else, just saying that you can even watch the sea is enough to explain the problem.

Therefore, Nadia Murad, who was born in 25 and was only [-] years old when she won the Nobel Peace Prize in [-], is not included here.

After Lawrence Bragg, there were Werner Heisenberg, the main founder of quantum mechanics, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 41, and Lee Tsung-dao, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in [-]. There are Carl David Anderson, Paul Dirac, etc., who all won the Nobel Prize at the age of [-].

The reason Zhou Ming won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year is naturally the "evolution" of gene medicine that he developed as the main researcher and person in charge last year.

Although it is only a year since "Evolution" was successfully developed, it has not been a year since it was launched, or even only half a year.

However, during this year, "evolution" has saved the lives of countless people. Whether it is the research results or the effects of the results, it is only natural for Zhou Ming to win this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

In the end, under the comfort of Li Zhizhi, Zhang Mingjie also accepted the reality that Zhou Ming would not go to the Nobel Prize presentation site to accept the award.

"Then what did they say after you told them about it?" Afterwards, Zhang Mingjie asked Zhou Ming again.

"I don't know. The person who notified me said that they have to think about it again, but since the award is awarded to me this time, the result will definitely not change." Zhou Ming explained.

This matter has been announced by the Nobel Prize Committee, and what Zhou Ming said was not that he refused to accept the award, but that he did not have time to go to the scene. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which has already had one experience, would not replace him like this. This year's Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.

"Then after they tell you the results, you must tell me." After hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, Zhang Mingjie could understand. After all, the person who called Zhou Ming to inform Zhou Ming could not make his own decision. .

After a few people chatted about the Nobel Prize for a while, Li Mingzhi talked to Zhou Ming about the Hodge conjecture that Zhou Ming said to study earlier.

A few days later, the Nobel Prize Committee gave Zhou Ming a result. While expressing their understanding, they said that the award could be presented in the form of an online conference. The family can participate in the award ceremony through the Internet and accept the award.

For accepting awards in the form of online conferences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has experience before, and this time it is also familiar.

After that, Zhou Ming returned to his previous ordinary life.

But when he spent an hour researching Hodge's conjecture every night, Zhou Ming slowly discovered that this Hodge's conjecture seemed to have something to do with the artificial intelligence he advanced every day.

However, this idea is still just Zhou Ming's conjecture, and the specific situation will not be known until he continues to study.

With this idea in mind, Zhou Ming gradually spent more time on Hodge's conjecture every day.

As the research on Hodge's conjecture continued to deepen, Zhou Ming determined that this was indeed related to the artificial intelligence he was advancing.

However, the connection mentioned here does not mean that solving the Hodge conjecture will speed up the development of artificial intelligence, but that in the process of trying to find a way to solve the Hodge conjecture, Zhou Ming discovered that he used the method when trying to solve the problem of the Hodge conjecture. Some of the mathematical methods and rules he had learned and discovered seemed to be able to transform and upgrade the artificial intelligence code in his mind.

After determining that there were ways to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence, Zhou Ming's original research on the Hodge conjecture changed from solving the Hodge conjecture to using the methods used to study the Hodge conjecture to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence.

"What happened today? Why didn't you come to bed?"

Shen Qingqiu saw that Zhou Ming, who had already returned to the bedroom on time at this time, was still in the study, so he came to the study and said to Zhou Ming.

"I turned off the alarm when it rang just now. I have something to do today, so I won't sleep for now. Go to bed first." Seeing Shen Qingqiu coming, Zhou Ming also said to her.

Shen Qingqiu looked at the fluffy screen that was turned on next to Zhou Ming, then looked at the pile of draft paper on the table, and didn't say anything, but told Zhou Ming: "Then I'll go back to my room first, and you will also Go to bed early, don't stay up too late."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ming kissed Shen Qingqiu on the cheek, and Shen Qingqiu also left the room.

Not long after leaving the study, Shen Qingqiu returned to the study. It turned out that she had brought a blanket over, and after putting the blanket over Zhou Ming's body, Shen Qingqiu went back to the bedroom and closed the door of the study.

Unknowingly, the sky slowly turns white.

When the sun gradually climbed into the sky, the door of the study was opened again.

"Did you not sleep all night?"

Seeing that Zhou Ming was still busy writing at the desk in the study, Shen Qingqiu walked to Zhou Ming's side and asked him with concern.

"what?"

Hearing Shen Qingqiu's voice, Zhou Ming noticed that it was already dawn outside, and it turned out that he had stayed up all night again without knowing it.

"I was so involved. I thought it wouldn't take long, but it was already dawn. I'm going to rest now." After saying that, Zhou Ming put down his pen, turned off the computer, stood up, and stretched.

"You are 26 now, you are almost thirty, and you don't have to stay up late like this when you were young. Anyway, it's already morning now, so I'll make you some breakfast before you rest." Shen Qingqiu looked After looking at the dark circles around Zhou Ming's eyes, he said to him with distress and concern, and used the exaggerated approximation that only elders would use.

When many parents wake their children up in the morning, they usually say it's already eight o'clock when it's just a few minutes after waking up.

And when it was time to go to bed at night, it was only past nine o'clock, and they would usually say that it was already ten o'clock or past ten o'clock.

Also, when they were persuading their children to find someone to marry, they were obviously only 22 or 23 years old, so they could say they were 25 or 26 years old.

If their children are 25 or 26 years old, they can simply say that they are almost 30 years old.

This is the exaggerated approximation of many parents, who can say that rounding is rounding to zero.

Shen Qingqiu didn't know whether it was because she stayed with her grandma and Zhou Ming's parents for a long time, or because of some other reason, that she actually learned this approximation method.

Last night, Shen Qingqiu originally planned to sleep together after Zhou Ming went to bed, but then she fell asleep in a daze, and then woke up in the morning to find that she was alone in bed, so she didn't brush her teeth or wash her face. Then I ran to the study.

"No... Gulu, Gulu, just eat something." Zhou Ming originally wanted to say no, but after staying up all night, his stomach also started to growl, so Zhou Ming finally agreed to Shen Qingqiu's suggestion
"It seems that I was too reckless last night. I thought that it would take a little time to solve that problem, but I didn't expect it to be a series of problems. After solving one problem, two or three popped up, and I couldn't stop. In the future Absolutely can't stay up all night like this again.

I am addicted to staying up late. If I continue to stay up like this, I am really worried that the next time I use the life simulator, I will die young in the simulated world. "

Zhou Ming also thought in his heart.

In terms of mathematics, Zhou Ming easily enters a state of selflessness. Although in this state, Zhou Ming is highly concentrated and his research efficiency is much higher than usual.

But in this state, Zhou Ming is always in a state of excitement. I am afraid that even if he stays up for two days and two nights, he will not feel sleepy. If he continues like this, he may die suddenly.

"You haven't washed yet, have you? You go wash up first, I'll do it myself." Zhou Ming said to Shen Qingqiu again, and after speaking, he left the study and went to the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, Zhou Ming did not make breakfast immediately. Instead, he called the school and asked for a day off.

Because he was going to bed later, Zhou Ming didn't eat anything. After eating a little knowledge, he took a shower and went to bed to rest.
