I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 908 Two top awards!Dominated the international scientific community for decades!

This nanny car was of high quality, and the roar of the engine did not reach the interior of the car, making it relatively quiet. Therefore, when the staff of the Wolf Foundation made this call, even though Ning Qingyun did not turn on the speakerphone, Everyone could still hear clearly, and only heard Terri Duffy continue to say in a very respectful tone:
"Congratulations, Academician Ning. After two fair and impartial votes by all the judges of our foundation, you won this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Wolf Prize in Physics! The relevant award email will be sent within 5 minutes. Then it will be sent to your email, and our website will also update the award information simultaneously. Congratulations again, Academician Ning! Also, I would like to ask, can you contact your husband, Academician Qin Ke? His mobile phone is not answered, and we cannot notify you. Information about his award this time.”

Ning Qingyun's heart was beating rapidly, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Yes... yes, my husband is also with me. Should I give him my phone?"

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

When Qin Ke heard "No answer on the phone", he subconsciously touched his pocket. Sure enough, he was not touching his phone. Then he remembered that it might have fallen onto the bed or carpet while playing with the baby in the nanny car in front. .

He usually doesn't have the bad habit of keeping his cell phone in his hand. This time he came here mainly to communicate and discuss the subject with Edward Witten and Lao Tao. He didn't look for his cell phone after he arrived, so he didn't realize that his cell phone was not on him until now.

Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun's cell phone, and Wolf Foundation staff member Terri Duffy also congratulated him on winning this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Wolf Prize in Physics in a very respectful tone. .

Even though Qin Ke is used to winning big prizes and has already reached the state of "having prizes in his hands but no prizes in his heart", he still couldn't hide his excitement when he won the two most prestigious world-class prizes at the same time.

Not only Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, but also Edward Witten, his wife, and Tao Zhexuan, who were quietly listening to the conversation, were shocked by the voice coming from the microphone.

That's the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!Wolf Prize in Physics!
The "three top FWA awards" recognized by the international mathematics community - "F (Fields) + W (Wolf) + A (Abel)", ranked second is the Wolf Prize in Mathematics!It is definitely one of the highest honors in the international mathematics community!

Unlike the Fields Medal, which is only awarded to young and middle-aged mathematicians under the age of 40, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics does not impose any age restrictions on the recipients. However, because it has the nature of a lifetime achievement award, it is an award for a mathematician. The evaluation of a person's life's work requires that the winner not only have profound attainments and contributions in a certain branch of mathematics, but also be knowledgeable and versatile, involved in multiple branches and achieve outstanding results, and have a complete academic system, so it is often awarded only to achievements. A rich, respected and famous old mathematician.

The Wolf Prize in Physics is similar to the Mathematics Prize. Its status in the physics community is second only to the Nobel Prize in Physics. It is as famous as the Dirac Medal and the Einstein World Prize. It is also only awarded to highly respected and high-level veteran physicists. .

According to statistics, more than 95% of the winners of these two awards are over 60 years old, with only a few exceptions below 60 years old. The lowest winning age record is around 42 years old.Now Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have easily broken the record of being the youngest in these two awards again, and they have won the Wolf Prize in Physics and Mathematics at the same time!

If you include the Wolf Prize in Agriculture that they have won before, they will be the only scientists in the world to win three Wolf Prizes at the same time!
Even Edward Witten and his wife, Tao Zhexuan, are considered people who have seen the storm and stood on the top of the world's academic world. When they heard the news, they looked at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun with shock and excitement. Shocked and envious.

After the news of this unique award spreads, it is estimated that the sensation caused will be even more exaggerated than when Qin Kening, Ning Qingjun, and Qin Kening won the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time!

Before everyone could digest this shocking news, Terri Duffy added:
"Dear Academician Qin, our foundation has another proposal. Since you, Academician Ning and Professor Witten are all in Xia State, and you and Academician Ning are the first to win three Wolf Awards since the establishment of our Wolf Foundation. Scientists, in order to commend you for your great role in promoting human scientific and technological civilization, and also to encourage and promote the academic development of Xia Guo, after discussions at our foundation, we plan to open a special Xia Guo branch venue in this award ceremony. The capital city of Beijing will give you awards, what do you think?"

Awarding in Xia Kingdom?This is of course a good thing. There is no need to make a special trip abroad, but Qin Ke keenly discovered a name in Terri Duffy's words: "Hello, did you just mention Professor Witten? Did he also... "

"Yes, Professor Edward Witten will share this year's Wolf Prize in Physics with you and Academician Ning. I will contact him on my next phone call to tell him the good news."

Qin Ke was extremely happy for his old friend. He turned back to look at the stunned Edward Witten and said with a smile: "Edward, why don't you answer the phone too? This will save Ms. Duffy another call."

Edward Witten really didn’t expect that he would also win the prize. He was still two short of the “Grand Slam” of physics awards, one was the Nobel Prize in Physics and the other was the Wolf Prize in Physics, but in the past The string theory, quantum gravity, and supersymmetric quantum field theory he studies are all pure theories, and most of them cannot be proven by current implementation methods, so he has never been able to win these two awards.

Now he suddenly heard that he had won the Wolf Prize in Physics, which made him feel like he was in a dream, and he didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until his wife Chiara gave him a happy push that Edward Witten reacted and hurriedly responded: "Oh, okay."

He took the phone from Qin Ke, and after listening to Terri Duffy's congratulations, he thanked her again and again before returning the phone to Qin Ke, with a look of joy on his face.

Qin Ke discussed the branch venue of the awards ceremony with Terri Duffy and quickly finalized the matter.

This year's awards ceremony will be held simultaneously in the capital of Xia Kingdom and in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the Wolf Foundation, and will be interactive through live webcast.Naturally, Qin Ke does not need to worry about the specific details. After Qin Ke agrees, the Wall Foundation will naturally contact Xia Guo Qingmu University to make arrangements.

This arrangement of branch venues, in addition to commending Qin Ke and the others, is also an initiative of the Wolf Foundation to further expand its influence in a world power like Xia Guo. Unlike last year, the Clay Institute arranged the award ceremony in Xia Guo. countries, all for the same purpose.

——The ancient country of Xia has indeed seen the emergence of more and more excellent scholars in recent years, and it seems to be full of vitality.And if the Wolf Prize in Physics wants to go one step further and make its influence comparable to that of the Nobel Prize in Physics, it absolutely cannot ignore Xia, the most populous country in the world.

After ending the call, Qin Ke returned the phone to Ning Qingyun and couldn't help but smile: "Honey, your phone played a huge role today."

"Thank you Xiaoning for the mobile phone!" Edward Witten chimed in humorously, then turned around and hugged his wife Chiara with a smile on his face to celebrate. Even for a world-class physicist like him, he can get the Vol. Winning the Husband Prize in Physics is still a matter worth celebrating. Now he only lacks one major award to complete his merits, and that is the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Old Tao next to him was jealous and said with envy: "That's amazing. Congratulations to the three of you for sharing this year's Wolf Prize in Physics!"

Qin Ke high-fived Ning Qingjun and Edward Witten in celebration, and then smiled at Old Tao and said, "Old Tao, it's hard to say what the Wolf Prize in Physics will be, but sooner or later the Wolf Prize in Mathematics will also be yours. Believe in that.”

"I estimate that I will be 70 years old at the earliest." Lao Tao said humorously: "The premise is that I have to live that long." With Lao Tao's achievements and fame in mathematics, there is a very high probability that he will get a Wo in the future. The Wolf Prize for Mathematics, well, is "in the future", because his current age is still 60 years away from the standard line of "12 years old" for the Wolf Mathematics Prize, and most winners are over 70 years old.

If Lao Tao wants to break this age line, he must achieve academic results that are more eye-catching and have an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of mathematics.

Professor Witten also had the same idea. He said happily: "That's not necessarily the case. Now that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics has the courage to award Qin Ke and Xiao Ning who are in their 20s, there is no chance that you will get it in advance. Especially if we can achieve excellent results in our ongoing project of applying string theory to control the 'decay random events' of radioactive elements, it may play a very important role in promoting the unification of mathematics."

Lao Tao is also excited. He also has the same hope in his heart. He has already won the Fields Medal. He is now conducting mathematical research. In addition to his fanatical interest in mathematics, he also has a goal of winning all FWAs. This year Since the Wolf Prize in Mathematics has made an exception for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, it proves that as long as his academic achievements are outstanding enough, he is very likely to win this award next year and the year after!

While several people were talking, Qin Xiaoke's movement quickly caused the dim light in her mobile phone to open the Wolf Foundation's website, and she saw that the latest list of winners had been published on it.

The little girl glanced at the list first, and after confirming it, she happily put her phone on the table. Everyone stopped talking and came over to take a closer look.

There are three winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. In addition to Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, the other one is Mr. George Lustig, a professor of mathematics at MIT, in recognition of his "contribution to representation theory and related fields." "Pioneering contribution." By the way, Mr. George Lustig is 77 years old, which is older than the combined ages of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun won the award for the same reason - "for their unparalleled and great contributions to number theory, partial differential equations and related fields."This evaluation is quite high, at least much heavier than Mr. George Lustig’s evaluation.

The Wolf Prize in Physics is shared by Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun and Edward Witten. The reasons for the award are the same - "for their pioneering contributions to the expansion of the standard particle model, progress in the unification of physics and superstring theory." ".

After reading it, Lao Tao sighed: "This is the power of your article last year, "String Theory Framework Unifying the Strong Interaction Force, Weak Interaction Force and Electromagnetic Force with a New Quantum Gauge Field Theory"! But it is indeed worthy of its name. Well, when I saw this paper, I thought that just by virtue of the achievement of unifying the three fundamental forces, it would not be a problem to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, let alone the Wolf Prize in Physics. Edward , your long-cherished wish will probably come true this year.”

Lao Tao is right. Unifying the strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force is a great theoretical achievement. In this paper, by analyzing the data in the CERN experimental report and combining it with mathematical analysis, we found the reason why strings exist. Preliminary evidence!
Edward Witten's superstring theory has been verified by experimental data for the first time. Even if it is only a preliminary verification, it is enough to turn his superstring theory from a castle-like "utopia" into a supported "theory". In this way As soon as Edward Witten's chances of winning the Nobel Prize skyrocketed.

After Professor Witten received the Wolf Prize in Physics, he was in better spirits. He said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it is the result of the cooperation with Qin Ke and Xiaoning. Without them, that paper would not have been possible." It’s impossible to write it down, let alone establish a unified theoretical framework for strong and weak electricity.”

"Edward, I have to raise objections. That is the result of our teamwork. Without anyone else, it would be impossible to establish such a perfect theory. But I think Lao Tao is right. You have a high probability of winning the Nobel Prize." Well, if you can solve the common problem of detoxifying radioactive elements before August this year, then even if you don’t win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year, you will definitely win the prize next year.”

Qin Ke said with a smile.

He was indeed in a very good mood at this time, and he had gained the most among everyone.

Edward Witten and Ning Qingyun only received one and two awards, but he received a lot of additional rewards. First of all, the progress of the system task "Please continue to obtain the honor of the top of science" has advanced to 8/10.

Then the system’s “scores make me improve” function issued rewards one after another.

"Ding! Congratulations, you won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. The system assesses your 'score' as 'S-level'. The 'scores make me improve' function takes effect. Your academic points (mathematics) are +1000!"

"Ding! Congratulations, you won the Wolf Prize in Physics. The system assesses your 'score' as 'S-level'. The 'scores make me improve' function takes effect. Your academic points (physics) are +1000!"

"Ding! After testing, you have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Einstein World Science Prize, the Wolf Prize in Physics, the Breakthrough Prize in Physics, the Dirac Medal, and the Marcel Grossmann Prize at the same time. This is the first time in history. As the first physicist in the international physics community to achieve the glorious goal of 'Grand Slam of Top Physics Awards', the 'Achievements Make Me Improve' function comes into effect, and an additional 'Grandmaster Level Physics Knowledge Rapid Digestion and Absorption Opportunity' will be awarded!"

"You have now completed the digestion and absorption of master-level knowledge in sub-subjects such as particle physics, quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, nuclear physics, and material physics. You can use the 'Grandmaster-level physics knowledge rapid digestion and absorption opportunity' reward to gain 8 Complete the digestion and absorption of master-level knowledge in all other sub-subjects including acoustics, optics, thermal science, electromagnetism, solid-state physics, microelectronics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, etc. within hours!”

The latter reward made Qin Ke overjoyed. Now his mathematics, physics, and biology have all reached the master level, but only mathematics has completed the absorption and digestion of all sub-subject knowledge and reached the veritable "grandmaster level". Physics only One third has been digested and absorbed, and living things have only digested and absorbed about one tenth of the knowledge.

But after tonight, his physics will reach a true master level, and his knowledge and level of all sub-subjects will reach the level of a true physics master and Nobel Prize winner!
This will undoubtedly play an important role in promoting the detoxification of radioactive elements and the analysis and response to the causes of global extreme climate!
……

While Qin Ke and others were celebrating winning the grand prize in the car, many media and scholars with keen sense of smell had noticed the latest list of winners updated on the Wolf Foundation website a few minutes ago.

——After all, the latest list of winners is released on the same date and time every year.

Then, almost everyone doubted their own eyes. Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun of Xia State won two Wolf Prizes in the same session?
And still at the age of 23 or 24! ?
But after repeatedly confirming that the list of mathematics and physics prizes was not an error caused by copying and pasting, they finally couldn't sit still.

They looked at the photo of the winners list in disbelief. The two young mathematicians and physicists who looked particularly young and handsome among a group of gray-haired old scientists had only one thought in their minds:
I am afraid that in the next few decades, these two youngest Xia Guo academicians will dominate the international scientific community.

　Thank you all for your monthly recommendation votes. I am full of energy to write another chapter.

　　On the last day, please continue to ask for monthly votes and recommendation votes!
