Genius of the Rules-Style System

The news posted by Zhao Yi on Weibo immediately aroused heated discussion. A large number of comments appeared below the Weibo message. In a short period of time, the number of comments exceeded 100,000, and the number of retweets quickly exceeded 10,000.

Many media accounts also reprinted it, and some media simply published the news directly, conducting a series of analyzes based on the content released by Zhao Yi.

Every sentence in the Weibo message has been interpreted in detail--

"Scientists are great because they promote the development of human science and technology, not because they win a certain world-class award. Awards are just an embellishment of scientific research, rather than becoming the pursuit of scientific research."

"The remarks in this paragraph illustrate that any award should not be given above scientists. Scientists do not research and develop for the sake of winning awards. Scientists' research and development promotes the development and progress of human science and technology. Awards are only recognition of contributions."

"'The job of a scientist is to break the rules' is a direct reply to the Nobel Prize Committee. Scientists work to break the rules. As an award in the scientific community, the Nobel Prize is because 'there has never been a person in two places at the same time in history. "Winning the Nobel Prize in this field will not allow Zhao Yi to win the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"That's the biggest laugher."

"Zhao Yi said that from now on, he would refuse any scientific awards, and of course he refused the Nobel Prize in Medicine."

These analyzes were released and aroused greater heated discussion.

Who can refuse the Nobel Prize?

The influence of the Nobel Prize is so great that even some very famous people will shamelessly ask for a Peace Prize.

The Peace Prize is the most irrelevant of the Nobel Prizes and is also considered the most unfair because it is mixed with too many other factors.

on the contrary.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine is one of the most valuable among Nobel Prizes. It is even considered to be the most valuable and the most significant to the development of human life, because candidates for the Nobel Prize in Medicine need to have significant achievements in the field of medical research. contribute.

Such a major contribution must also benefit human life, and even save tens of millions of people, in order to be nominated for a medical award.

Therefore, most of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine relied on the research and development results of ten, twenty, or even more years ago.

For the Nobel Prize in Physics, the selection criteria are different.

The Nobel Prize in Physics rewards scientific awards that have made significant contributions to physics, but many of the research and development results awarded by the physics prize are somewhat divorced from the development of the earth itself.

For example, the discovery of neutrinos.

The discovery of new particles will advance mankind's understanding of the universe and allow mankind to make significant progress in the study of microscopic particles.

But what does this have to do with real life?

Even if more new particles are discovered and more is learned about the universe, it will have little relevance to ordinary people. Unless the technology supported by particle research can be quickly spread into human life, the benefits will have to wait hundreds of years or even longer.

In short, the gold content of the Nobel Prize in Medicine is very high.

Now that Zhao Yi has directly rejected the Nobel Prize in Medicine, it is even certain that he will reject the Nobel Prize in Physics, or other awards, which is shocking.

But after the shock is over, most people feel normal again.

Does Zhao Yi need awards to show off?

Some people will become famous because they win the Nobel Prize. Before that, they were unknown. But after winning the Nobel Prize, they have fame and money, and their lives will undergo major changes.

Zhao Yi has long been famous. He is the most famous scientist in the world and has achieved the world's top results in many fields.

He already has a reputation, and it's hard to get any higher.

He has no shortage of money either.

Zhao Yi has always been one of the richest people in the world, and his personal wealth and capital are still rising rapidly.

Relevant organizations predict that the capital and wealth Zhao Yi controls will climb to the top ten in the world within ten years, and he is even expected to become the world's richest man in this lifetime.

Therefore, the Nobel Prize is simply dispensable to him.

What is ridiculous is that the Nobel Selection Committee decided to postpone the award of the Physics Prize to Zhao Yi because of a ridiculous reason.

Now they have no chance to award awards.

——

There was a lot of public opinion about Zhao Yi's rejection of the science award.

Domestic public opinion is very exciting.

Many people think Zhao Yi's approach is inspiring, mainly because the Nobel Prize is a foreign award. Speaking of which, it is indeed famous, but only two people have won the award in domestic history.

Although the Nobel Committee has always emphasized that the award selection is fair and just, it always feels that there is a certain degree of discrimination against domestic scholars because there are too few domestic winners.

No one can say whether the previous Nobel selection was fair or not.

It's definitely unfair now.

When Zhao Yidu cannot win the Nobel Prize in Physics, it is simply a joke to talk about fairness.

Now there is no way to award the Nobel Prize to Zhao Yi. Without the participation of scientists who have made the greatest contribution, the influence of the award will definitely be affected.

Public opinion abroad is also fermenting rapidly. Similar to China, foreign countries are also discussing the fairness of awards.

The whole world knows that Zhao Yi will definitely win the Nobel Prize in Physics because he disclosed anti-gravity theory and technology and opened up a new direction for the development of physics.

This is definitely the biggest achievement in a century.

At a time when there has been no qualitative breakthrough in physics theory for decades, Zhao Yi's research can be said to have ignited a raging fire for the development of physics. The prospects for future physics research are broad, and the status of physicists is Then it improves.

Therefore, foreign public opinion is also questioning the fairness of the Nobel selection. As for the Nobel Committee's announcement that the same person did not win two Nobel Prizes in the same year in history, it was simply ignored.

Everyone knows that this is not a problem at all, it is just an excuse not to award the award to Zhao Yi.

When the selection of a prize is infused with factors other than scientific research, like the Peace Prize, it is no longer fair.

The selection of awards has lost its fairness and its influence will definitely be greatly reduced.

Those selection organizations that have already awarded the award to Zhao Yi are very excited and happy, such as the International Mathematical Association, the Wolf Prize Selection Committee, etc.

Zhao Yi has already won Fields, Wolf and other awards, because he has decided not to accept other scientific awards. The awards he has already won can be said to be his "swan song".

The Nobel Prize has always suppressed other awards, and the selection committees of other awards naturally hope to see the influence of the Nobel Prize decline.

The Nobel Selection Committee felt very depressed. Of course they knew that Zhao Yi's statement would definitely affect the outside world's view of Nobel.

When the fairness of an award is questioned, its impact is bound to decline significantly.

Many people don't want to see this happen.

A local organization came forward and stated that it would investigate the Nobel Selection Committee.

Such investigations are generally fruitless.

This is not direct bribery or illegal behavior. Zhao Yi did not win the award. It was a decision made by the internal meeting of the selection committee.

Then the members of the selection committee were affected, and several members immediately publicly announced their withdrawal from the Nobel Committee.

After experiencing this kind of turmoil, the influence of the Nobel Prize will definitely decline significantly, but after the heat of public opinion passes, it is difficult to say what will happen to the Nobel Prize in the future.

But Zhao Yi's approach had a great impact on the Nobel Prize.

Because he created an award himself.

A week later.

Zhao Yi invited Zhong Shaoyan, Edward Witten, Ben Blanco and other well-known figures in various fields to hold a press conference, allocated 200 million yuan as start-up capital, and announced the establishment of the 'Zhao Selection Committee' .

"The 'Zhao Selection Committee' will be responsible for selecting the 'Zhao Science Award' and awarding scientific awards to those who have achieved results in various fields."

“The ‘Zhao Science Award’ will be selected annually in five areas: mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, and technological innovation.”

"The winner will receive a reward of 5 million yuan, as well as the medal and certificate of the 'Zhao Science Award'. At the same time, those who win the 'Zhao Science Award' will automatically become an honorary academician of the National Academy of Sciences."

Finally, there is the cooperation between Zhao Yi and the Academy of Sciences.

This does no harm to the Academy of Sciences, because the ability of scientists who have made the greatest scientific contributions in the world must be quite outstanding, and serving as an academician of the Academy of Sciences is more than enough, not to mention that honorary academician is just a title.

At the press conference, Zhao Yi announced that the work of the selection committee will officially begin in May next year. After half a year of selection, the winners will be officially announced from the end of November to early December.

At the same time, the selection committee has drafted the selection process, which will be released later and will be subject to everyone's supervision.

After this combination of punches, everyone knows that Zhao Yi hopes to create the world's top scientific award, and even directly compete with the Nobel Prize.

If it were anyone else, even the most wealthy people in the world, no matter how much monetary rewards they gave to the winners, it would be impossible to compare with Nobel, because Nobel has the support of countless Nobel laureates.

Zhao Yi is different.

Even if ten Nobel laureates combined, it would be difficult to compete with Zhao Yi's achievements and contributions. He is well-known in the scientific community. If he announces the establishment of a prize, it will definitely have influence.

First of all, on the day after Zhao Yi established the selection committee, many major media around the world made relevant reports.

The overwhelming coverage has given the Zhao Science Prize a certain reputation.

Let’s not talk about the follow-up. In the first year of the award selection, Zhao Yihui will personally present the award, which is very attractive.

Which award is qualified for Zhao Yi to present the award personally?

If a scholar is recognized by Zhao Yi, he will immediately become famous and win the Zhao Science Award. If Zhao Yi personally awards the award, it will definitely be quite remarkable.

Once this award comes out, it will definitely be recognized by major academic institutions.

no doubt.

The Nobel Prize is facing a challenge!

——

Zhao Yi generously set up the Zhao Science Award Selection Committee not only to win the prize, but also to gain support from the domestic scientific community, because there had been no world-class awards in China before.

Every world-class award is awarded by a foreign selection agency.

This many scientific researches have also been recognized by winning foreign awards.

This is somewhat depressing.

The previous domestic academic influence was indeed inferior to that of foreign countries. For example, some top-level academic research needed to be published in foreign magazines to be truly taken seriously.

The research and development results of some universities are also judged based on their selection into foreign academic paper libraries.

With the development of domestic science and technology, especially in the research and development of advanced science and technology, it has far surpassed that of foreign countries. Whether it is the publication of research and development papers or the achievement evaluation mechanism, it can be said that it is lagging behind.

Therefore, the country must develop unique awards and a unique judging standard mechanism in order to adapt to the changing status of advanced technological research and development at home and abroad.

Now Zhao Yi has just created a beginning and established an award with influence covering the world. In the future, there will definitely be more awards in China, and the academic evaluation standards will continue to change and enrich.

After completing the initial work of the selection committee, Zhao Yi handed over the work to others, and he discussed academic issues with several invited scholars.

Others are doing better. They are only invited to participate in the selection process, serve as members of the selection committee, and will participate in the nomination of candidates later.

After attending a press conference, I left within two days.

Edward Witten is different.

Going back to three years ago, he felt that he was similar to Zhao Yi. At least in terms of theoretical physics research, the two were at the same level.

Zhao Yi pioneered the particle boundary theory, and he is also a top figure in string theory. The two studied the boundary problem of multi-dimensional space together.

It's different now.

Edward Witten feels that the gap between him and Zhao Yi is too big in the research of theoretical physics. Since the emergence of the antigravity theory, Zhao Yi has become the world's number one theoretical physicist. The theories he has developed are also It has been used in reality, and a space shuttle experiment was even completed some time ago.

The two are no longer on the same level.

Edward Witten does not envy antigravity, Z-wave and other research. He only laments the power of Zhao Yi. However, he cares very much about the underlying logic of the universe. He hopes to get results on issues related to string theory and multi-dimensional space.

So after the work of the selection committee ended, Edward kept chasing Zhao Yi, asking about space research issues, and even refused to leave.

If it had been anyone else, Zhao Yi would have asked the guards to drive him away.

Edward Witten can't.

He and Edward were indeed friends for many years. When he first started studying theoretical physics, Edward gave him a lot of guidance. When they did research together, Edward also provided a lot of ideas and basic knowledge, most of which were found in books. It is almost impossible to hear these contents from other people.

While Zhao Yi was a little helpless, he also really had no choice.

Drive away? no!

However, the mathematical content of space research can be said to be confidential. Edward is a professor at Princeton University. It is impossible for him to discuss space mathematics directly with Edward and there is no way to answer his questions.

In the end, Zhao Yi was so annoyed that he had no choice but to say directly, "Edward, we are friends, but there are some things that even friends cannot say."

"If you want to know more, there's a way."

"What can I do?" Edward Witten's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.

"Come work here. Quit your job at Princeton and come here with your family. You will get a new passport, I promise." Zhao Yi said seriously, "But you must think about it."

"this--"

Edward Witten hesitated. Of course he understood what Zhao Yi meant, but the decision was not that easy to make.

He took a deep breath and said, "Let me, think about it."
