Chapter 830: Give Wings to Geniuses (first update, please subscribe)
Scientific employment of people.
It is natural to scientifically apply talents to urgently needed fields.
What kind of talents is urgently needed in Nanyang now?
Chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, materials, machinery, computers, aviation, aerospace...
It can be said that all walks of life need it. After all, science is a systematic project, and no industry can hold it back.
Just like Nanyang now has computers, it is still far from the Internet. If you want the Internet, you still need to solve optical fiber, and optical fiber needs to solve a series of problems such as lasers. When these problems are solved, In order to solve the problem of Internet access, in fact, there are countless problems that need to be solved in the middle. Science is a systematic project, and it does not mean that the entire system can be obtained by breaking through any key node.
In fact, science is the theory of shortcomings. What determines the level of science is always the shortest shortcoming on the bucket.
In short, what Nanyang needs now is talents in various industries. After all, Nanyang wants to use its own efforts to promote the technological level of small breaking balls and change the destiny of mankind.
Of course, the main thing is to change Nanyang itself.
In fact, when Nanyang changes itself, it also changes the entire world.
Just like why Watt, Edison, Ford and others can be written into history books, why many people admire Bill Gates and Joe Biden.
It’s because their companies and products have changed the world and made human life better, it’s that simple.
Just like people rarely like Rockefeller, Buffett and Li Ka-shing, because although they are very successful in business, they are just businessmen, and their companies have not improved the lives of ordinary people.
What kind of role should Nanyang play in the future?
Just like Watt and Edison in history books, when Nanyang is mentioned, people will say "Wow" in surprise, and then count the changes that Nanyang has brought to mankind.
It is difficult to achieve this goal, after all, science involves many disciplines.
But it is completely possible to treat headaches, headaches and footaches, select some key areas, and make key breakthroughs.
This is a bit like Soviet Russia’s “key research system”.
Catching a sheep and plucking it hard may not necessarily yield a woolen sweater.
But would it be difficult to catch a group of sheep and pull out a woolen sweater?
If it is difficult, it means there are a few sheep. That means more sheep are needed!
Am I still not good at taking advantage of the system?
Isn’t King’s Laboratory a ready-made institution?
From now on, I will get out a few technical books that transcend the times from the system every day, and stuff the "smuggled" technology into the King's laboratory. The quality of talents does not mean much to me. It is the quantity of talent that is more important.
With 100 people working on one direction, quantitative changes are enough to cause qualitative changes.
If the operation is good, then I will not only have a "hundred thousand army", but also probably a "hundred thousand scientists"?
These scientists are not necessarily geniuses, but the role they need to play is that of pioneers in certain fields.
In other words, they are Prometheus - bringing fire to the world. Finally, those fires are used to promote the rise of genius.
Oops!
You are really as smart as me, yet so scary!
Use Prometheus to illuminate genius.
Isn’t it just to use talents to inspire geniuses?
In other words, it is to use talents to act as boosters for geniuses.
Calculate the time, Einstein is almost gone. Among scientists, he is considered to have the longest life. He was 76 years old, but when did his scientific research results mainly come from?
It should be said that it was before the 1930s.
Throughout Einstein's life, most of his achievements occurred in his youth. Don't believe it, in fact, most scientists are like this, and they have completed most of their achievements in life when they were young.
Because the human brain will age, correspondingly, perception, memory, computing speed, reasoning ability, etc. will continue to decline with age. This physiological phenomenon is called " Fluid Intelligence”.
Human fluid intelligence reaches its peak around the age of 20, reaches its peak at the age of 25, and slowly declines after the age of 25, so the older you get, the lower your fluid intelligence becomes.
Einstein suddenly realized it at the age of 25, and then published the theory of relativity, photoelectric effect, mass-energy equation, etc. at the age of 26.
Newton was at the age of 23 establishing calculus, optics, mechanics, astronomy, etc.
Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics at the age of 26. Yang Zhenning proposed parity non-conservation at the age of 28, and won the Nobel Prize a few years later.
It can be seen that scientific research pays more attention to fluid intelligence. The comprehensive indicators of scientists beyond a certain number of years are not enough to support innovation in scientific research.
20-30 years old, this age happens to be the age most likely to produce results!
And many times, what is the biggest regret that many scientists have in their lives?
After they proposed their own theory, they were limited by the decline of fluid intelligence, resulting in them being unable to further improve their theory or conduct further research on their own theory for the rest of their lives, thereby achieving a step-by-step leap forward.
Human history has long proven that genius is limited, and the vast majority of people are mediocre.
But the progress of human science and technology cannot be separated from the flash of genius. Geniuses have stronger talents, stronger powers of observation, calculation, and discovery... so they can have more opportunities to trigger 1% had a flash of inspiration.
But there are only a handful of geniuses, and the age of geniuses is also limited. Even the body. The result directly led to the discovery of genius, and it was a group of mediocre people who continued to develop there.
"If Hawking had studied the black hole evaporation theory and the boundaryless Hawking universe model when he was 25 years old, what changes would it have brought to quantum mechanics?"
Li Yian's mind After having this idea, he suddenly became a little uncontrollable, because what he saw was a brand new future, which was... full of infinite possibilities.
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it..."
Li Yian walked back and forth excitedly. What he saw was a brand new, unpredictable future.
Perhaps after the genius’ flash of inspiration is taken away, the genius may be buried, but this is only a possibility.
And there is another possibility - when geniuses stand on the shoulders of geniuses, what they can achieve is destined to be amazing!
Science itself is a progressive development, and every step forward for mankind is the result of the accumulation of countless people. Generations of scientists conduct research on the basis of their predecessors, then overthrow the previous research, and then move forward and develop again.
In this case, providing a stepping stone for those geniuses to lead them forward in the fields they created, they will definitely achieve greater achievements.
“At least a considerable number of them can achieve higher achievements!”
Li Yian emphasized again.
"Even if it's just a part of it!"
Thinking this in his heart, Li Yian even began to think about whether to plagiarize Hawking's theory. Although he had turned on the physics skills, he found that he was not familiar with Hawking's theory. The theory is poorly understood.
"This matter is a little difficult to handle..."
Although it was a little difficult to handle, Li Yian changed his mind and said again.
“Although it is a bit difficult, you can put forward an idea, an idea, and then let others understand and think about it. Didn’t Einstein also think about it for more than ten years?”
How old is Hawking now?
Teenage!
Why Hawking?
Because Hawking happened to have reached the pinnacle of his life in the farthest future he could reach!
Is it a coincidence?
Destiny...is really amazing sometimes.
Let him and other physicists understand and think together. Maybe more than ten years later, he will be able to conduct further research on the basis of what other physicists have perfected. At that time, He should be in his early 20s. What achievements will he have achieved by then?
Just leave this problem to time!
Although he was thinking this in his heart, Li Yian's WeChat account was also full of expectations, expecting geniuses to stand on his shoulders and grow.
