The End of Technology

For first-year students, the most exciting thing is probably that just a few days after school starts, and they haven’t even understood the lessons yet, they can usher in the longest annual vacation of the year besides winter and summer vacations - National Day. During this happy holiday, students at the Space Academy also felt how unconstrained their ideas were by their high-end substitute professors.

For example, students majoring in basic physics were delighted to discover that all their vacation homework was optional.

You can choose to study papers and problem sets that are dauntingly heavy in calculations, or you can skip writing a single question and just work in groups to complete the tasks assigned to them by the professors. For example, Professor Romon Kane, who teaches quantum mechanics, gives a two-in-one holiday assignment, either completing regular exercises or making a quantum model to explain the origin of the universe.

If you think this question is too difficult, then the professor who teaches classical mechanics will make it even simpler and more crude. Even if you don’t want to do paper work, you can still give full play to your subjective initiative and hands-on ability. By building a perpetual motion machine, you can get full marks without having to hand in homework.

I have to say that both of these professors are good, at least they give each of their students the right to choose. Unlike the professors at other schools who are so rigid and do not give students the right to choose at all. Of course, in addition to these two troublesome propositions, students can also choose to independently prove topics such as whether nature is supersymmetric, how to solve the black hole information paradox, etc.

I have to say that the various super-class questions given by the professors are very imaginative. Especially for first-year students, just listening to it is enjoyable. When I gnaw on the questions in this way, I think of other thoughtful topics that can be studied, and I feel less tired.

After the National Day, we officially entered the National Nobel Prize discussion session.

From this point of view, the Nobel Prize is definitely the most successful scientific award on the planet.

Because other academic awards rarely involve thousands of ordinary people around the world like the Nobel Prize. Of course, you have to do this, and the BC companies with the most magical powers in the world are indispensable. In theory, the Nobel Prize selection process is completely confidential, but these powerful companies can always name some people at critical moments and calculate odds for these people.

In fact, the most puzzling thing is that the final candidates for the Nobel Prize announced every year must be selected from the candidates announced by these companies, which is enough to explain a lot. But it has never been questioned. From this point of view, the Nobel Prize Organizing Committee understands operations and publicity.

Everyone can get what he wants from the Nobel Prize, which is probably the reason why the Nobel Prize can last forever.

The same is true this year. The difference is that Ning Zi's name also appears on the list announced by those powerful companies, and it can be seen that the odds given are still very low, which also means that Ning Zi is very likely to win. Won a Nobel Prize this year.

Although Ning Zi does not care much about winning another award, everyone is still very concerned about this honor whether it is for Yanbei University of Physical Education, Ningyuan University or the Space Academy. After all, Ning Jieque doesn't have many honors anymore. Basically, after winning the Nobel Prize, I won all the world's top science and technology awards.

Even if there are still many awards to be won, there is no need to worry. Because basically those awards are not worthy of being awarded to Ning Zi.

In fact, in a sense, Ning Zina’s Nobel Prize in Physics this year is almost a certainty. Even those companies think so, so this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has a new twist, that is, the award will be awarded to several people.

This is determined by Ning Zi’s contribution.

Although Ning Zi did not publish relevant papers, it is an indisputable fact that his laboratory has produced negative mass matter.

Negative mass matter is an absolutely disruptive discovery for mankind to re-understand the universe, and it can provide guidance on the composition, origin and future development of the universe. From this point of view, Ning Zi's contribution to physics is probably comparable to that of Einstein.

In other words, this is another example of an achievement so great that it forces the jury to award the award to someone.

Because if you don’t give it to Ning Zi this year, giving it to anyone else will be a sign of the Nobel Prize.

Or perhaps it is said that awarding the Nobel Prize to anyone except Ning Jie this year would be unworthy of the award.

Although this is the case in theory, since the results have not been announced, there is no conclusion. However, the body is already fully prepared. For example, the banners and promotional materials to celebrate Professor Ning Ji, dean of the school of space at our school, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics have been prepared.

Just waiting for the annoying Nobel Prize organizing committee to announce it quickly, and then it can be announced.

This also made the atmosphere on the campus of the National Sports University very different when discussing this year's Nobel Prize.

After all, it is a very pleasant feeling to be sure that this year's Nobel Prize winner is right next to them.

If you zoom into the network, it will be even more obvious.

No matter how much scolding Ning Zi will receive at other times, at this time, anyone who dares to say on the Chinese Internet that Ning Zi will not win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics will be sprayed with blood.

The simplest question is, if Ning Jie can’t get it, who can get it? ! Who deserves it?

Yes, many netizens who have not even learned elementary physics can say a few words about this issue. After all, negative mass matter has never been invented in the laboratory in the five thousand years of human civilization. Now the Chinese can take out a large piece at a time. If this is not a prize, in the future it will be a Nobel Prize. What a joke.

Even Ning Zi himself thinks so.

It wasn't until the morning of October 16th that he received a call from the Nobel Prize Organizing Committee.

"Hello, are you Professor Ning?"

"Well, I am."

"This is the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and I am Novi Kangle, the secretary of this year's Nobel Prize organizing committee."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Connaught."

Ning Zi replied calmly. After all, he was someone who had won the award before. He knew that as a winner, the organizing committee would usually notify the winning scientist in advance before announcing it. So it was normal to receive this call.

Counting the time, today should be the day when the organizing committee announces the physics prize. In fact, the notification at this time was a little late. Just like when he won the Turing Award, he was notified three days in advance. As for winning the Fields Medal, it was even earlier. I wish the World Association of Mathematicians had announced it a week in advance. Someone informed him of the news.

"Congratulations, Professor Ning. After many rounds of selection by the review committee, you have been selected as this year's Chemistry Prize winner, and you are the only one to enjoy this honor."

Ning Zi was slightly stunned when she heard the words coming from the phone receiver.

To be honest, this was something Ning Zi didn't expect.

Compared with the Physics Prize, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry can only be described in one word.

Many times, it is even ridiculed by the international academic community as the Comprehensive Science Award. Many Nobel Prize winners in chemistry did not do pure chemical research, let alone pure chemists.

For example, in the field of structural biology, you can win the Chemistry Prize, electron transfer theory, density functional theory, femtosecond spectroscopy, and other aspects where physics and chemistry are unclear, and you can also win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for the discovery of conductive polymers, rich Lerene and quasicrystals can also win chemistry prizes. But the inventor of graphene won the physics prize.

In short, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter. How to award awards probably reflects the attitude of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences towards the subject of chemistry.

But Ning Zi never expected that the opposite party planned to award the Chemistry Prize to him this year.

After all, the preparation process of negative mass substances does not actually use any chemical methods. However, because he has not disclosed the laboratory preparation method of negative mass substances, and because of some of the currently announced properties of negative mass substances, it can barely be counted in the field of polymer chemistry research.

But it still felt like it was a bit too much.

After all, his scientific paper described a magical celestial phenomenon, which definitely fell into the category of physics.

"Can I ask who this year's physics prize is awarded to?"

"Haha, Professor Ning, this is exactly what I want to tell you next. Congratulations to you again, because you also have the efforts of Professor Askin, Professor Mulu and Ms. Scritland, as well as in the field of high-intensity ultrashort wave pulses." After careful consideration, the review committee has decided to award this year’s Physics Prize to the four of you.”

After hearing this answer, Ning Zi was stunned for a moment.

Well, high-energy ultra-short wave pulse technology, to put it bluntly, is laser technology.

Ning Zi has indeed made contributions to laser technology. The improved technology he provided allowed China's laser technology to enable China's lasers to complete lightning-inducing operations. But compared to his other contributions, if the person opposite him didn't mention it specifically today, he would have almost forgotten it.

This was another cool move that he never expected.

"So what you're saying is that this year I won the Chemistry Prize alone, and I also won the Physics Prize with three scientists?"

"Yes, Professor Ning, congratulations again. At the same time, on behalf of the Royal Academy of Sciences, I also warmly invite you to attend a grand dinner at the City Hall on December 10th, Stockholm time. As a winner, you can bring your family to attend. After confirmation, We can send you an invitation."

"Oh, thank you, but I may have other things to do that day and I won't be able to go there to receive the award."

"That's such a shame."

"But you will pay me the bonus on time, right?"

"Um...of course."

"Thank you very much. I will send the account number via email later. By the way, if this is the case, if you are still responsible for calling the winners next year, you may also call me and tell me the winner. Good news about the Nobel Prize in Medicine.”

"I'm sorry, Professor Ning, are you talking about the medical award?"

"You heard that right."

"Well, if there are corresponding achievements, of course we will consider it. But I'm probably not here to call you to inform you, because the Medicine Award is organized and selected by the Caroline Institute, and the Executive Secretary is also determined by them."

"That's such a shame."

"Um...ok, then...goodbye?"

"See you."

After saying that, Ning Zi hung up the phone.

He did not understand the mood of Mr. Novi Connaught opposite him. Compared with other scholars who were embarrassed to talk about bonuses, Ning Zi had no psychological barriers at all.

Of course he had to take the bonus that was his due.

Although it is widely rumored that he is very rich, and indeed he is very rich, Ning Zi is very clear about the distribution of wealth.

For example, the money earned in March belongs to March. Future expenditures must also be for the overall progress of human civilization. For example, they purchased all kinds of scientific instruments and equipment on a large scale, poached people everywhere, and paid salaries to scientific researchers, all with the money earned in March.

His salary and bonus have to take care of his family.

After all, he now has a family, a father, a wife, a sister, children in the future, and a cousin and a large family to take care of. Calculated to US$1.25 million, it would be tens of millions of dollars in income without paying taxes.

…

Three hours later, the executive secretary of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics Jury announced the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics in front of the camera.

You can imagine how uproar the entire world's academic community is.

Not only the academic circles, but also many ordinary people were shocked.

It was a consensus that Ning Zi would win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, but it was beyond everyone's expectation that Ning Zi won this award for his contribution to high-energy lasers. After all, Ning Zi almost couldn't remember that he had ever made such a contribution, let alone anyone else.

Someone still needs to popularize science on the Internet to remind people that Ning Ju had such achievements.

It's somewhat funny.

It’s not that these inventions in the field of laser physics are unimportant, it mainly depends on what kind of achievements they are compared with.

Compared with the discovery of negative mass matter, these discoveries in the field of laser physics are somewhat less convincing.

Logically speaking, it is obviously extremely far-fetched to use Ning Zi's least outstanding achievements as the reason for the award.

From the video circulated in China, it can be seen that after the executive secretary announced the result, the reporters at the scene were the most excited and raised their hands one after another.

This scene was probably expected a long time ago. As the executive secretary, Professor Novi Connaught just left one sentence: "Of course we have notified all the winners, and they all have no opinions on the work of the review committee." He then directly He turned around and left the press conference.

Everyone was left looking at each other.

Um……

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is exciting.

…

China.

This news is also something that most people did not expect.

Ning Zi deserves to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, but the reason for winning the award and the fact that he has to share the honor with three other people still make many people feel unfair to Ning Zi.

So much so that Ning Zi received many phone calls that were of a comforting nature.

Such as Professor Dominic Duncan.

When the young mathematics professor called, his tone was a bit harsh: "Ning, congratulations, pfft... you won the Nobel Prize for your contribution to the field of lasers, you know? When I heard the news, I didn't You know what that look is like. So should I congratulate you?"

"Well... I don't think it's urgent. Maybe you can wait until tomorrow to make this call."

"Oh why?"

"Because the Chemistry Prize will be announced tomorrow, and I will exclusively receive this year's Chemistry Prize because I discovered negative mass matter."
