Chapter 342 Summary of Bruce’s academic achievements! Undisputed! Fellow of the Royal Society!
March 17, 1913, Royal Society.
Less than half a year has passed since the end of the second Blues Conference, and there is still a strong atmosphere of knowledge in the auditorium.
Academicians of the Royal Society of England gather together now for the annual academician selection.
As the most authoritative academic institution in the world today, the Royal Society has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs.
It has always implemented the concept of the supremacy of truth and has become a holy place in the minds of countless scholars.
At this moment, there are more than 300 academicians in the auditorium, and many of them are from other countries and have not come here.
This number may not be a big deal in later generations, but in this era, it seems very huge.
This is mainly because the research scope of the Royal Society is very wide, covering basically all directions of natural science.
Although as early as 1800, the Royal Society had more than 500 academicians.
But at that time, the system was not perfect and there was a mixture of good and bad, most of which were parallel imports.
After drastic reforms and eliminating the unnecessary while retaining the elite, the number of academicians has declined, but the quality has improved.
Therefore, the academicians present are all leaders in their respective fields and those who have contributed to British science.
In the front seat, Crooks was chatting with Thomson, Rutherford and others.
If you want to select the most famous academicians in the Royal Society, then the academicians who have won the Nobel Prize are undoubtedly the best among them.
Thomson won the Nobel Prize in Physics, Rutherford and Ramsey won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and Ross won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Of course there are Nobel Prize reserve teams like Old Prague.
Crooks seemed to be in a good mood today. He smiled and said:
“It seems that the selection criteria for academicians of the Royal Society will be raised in the future.”
"Otherwise there will be too many academicians."
"I heard that the academies of sciences in Germany and France have already begun planning in this area."
"They are preparing to streamline the structure and personnel of the academies of sciences and make them the highest academic institutions worthy of the name."
< br>Thomson said with a smile: “In this era of scientific explosion, it is indeed easier to discover new results.”
“Think about the past, without the latest tools, it was impossible to carry out research work. . ”
“Nowadays, various new instruments and equipment are emerging one after another.”
"The laboratory is getting bigger and bigger."
56-year-old Ross took over and said: "It's your physics that exploded. We can only envy you from the side."
A few people laughed loudly. laugh.
Ross is the Vice President of the Royal Society and a microbiologist.
His Nobel Prize-winning achievement was the discovery that mosquitoes can transmit malaria.
Don’t underestimate this achievement.
In this era, more than 3 million people die from malaria every year around the world.
Regardless of his personal safety, Ross led the expedition team deep into West Africa. After several months of investigation, he finally made a major discovery.
He discovered human Plasmodium oocysts in the gastrointestinal tract of mosquitoes, confirming the hypothesis that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.
This laid a solid foundation for his later research on how to prevent malaria.
It can be said that Ross's achievements were completely achieved at the cost of his life.
And it can save many lives.
A movie Li Qiwei watched later was called "The Veil", which told a similar story.
Therefore, Thomson and others admired this vice president.
They are engaged in physics, and in terms of safety, they far surpass microbiologists like Ross.
Thomson smiled and said: "Professor Ross, how about I suggest that Bruce switch to biology."
"I think my colleagues will definitely agree and thank me."
"Because I moved a big mountain for them."
"They can finally get ahead."
Everyone laughed.
They already knew that Thomson had nominated Bruce as a foreign academician.
And today is the day of the election.
Soon, Crookes, President of the Royal Society, stepped onto the podium and presided over the meeting.
The annual academician election meeting has a fixed system and process.
Under the auspices of Crookes, the meeting proceeded in an orderly manner.
Soon, it was time for the final election of foreign academicians.
"Everyone, there is only one person nominated as a foreign academician of the Royal Society this year."
"Bruce Lee was nominated by academicians such as Thomson, Rutherford, and Bragg."
"About his personal and achievement introduction, please be read out by the nominator on behalf of Professor Thomson."
In the formal occasions of the society, Crooks did not give special preferential treatment to Li Qiwei, but followed the process Let academicians know about the candidate's achievements.
However, in the eyes of many people in the audience, this was completely unnecessary.
Of the hundreds of people present, there was no one who didn’t know Bruce Lee.
After Thomson took the stage, he took out a prepared draft and began to explain the reasons for the nomination.
"1913 Foreign Academician Candidate of the Royal Society, Bruce Lee."
"Chinese name Li Qiwei, nationality of the Republic of China, 33 years old, currently serving as Dean of the Department of Physics at King's College London .”
"In 1902, he was awarded a knighthood by the Royal Family of the British Empire."
"Professor Bruce Lee's achievements can be divided into two categories: proven theories and unproven hypotheses, which are summarized as follows."< br>
“The first is the proven theory category.”
“In June 1900, he and Planck jointly proposed the quantum concept to solve the black body radiation problem.”
“1900 In September, the principle of photoelectric effect was published. ”
"In March 1902, he and Einstein jointly published the special theory of relativity, and separately published the mass-energy equation."
"In November 1902, he published the atomic structure planetary model (now covered by quantum theory)."< br>
“In August 1910, he guided students to publish the phenomenon of superconductivity and proposed the theory of superconductivity.”
“In March 1911, he guided his students to publish the theory of quantum orbital model.”
< br>"In July 1911, guided students to publish the GKY effect."
"In September 1911, he proposed the quantization of orbital shape and orbital direction. He was the founder of the Bohr-Lee model and established quantum theory."
"In July 1912, he published the general theory of relativity and proposed the bending of light. Gravitational red shift, black holes, gravitational waves, and the concept of universe expansion. "
Obviously, Thomson directly regarded general relativity as a proven theory.
"The second is the unproven hypothesis category:"
"In June 1901, the hypothesis of wave-particle duality of light was proposed."
"In September 1911, the hypothesis of the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory was proposed."
"In November 1912, the hypothesis of the Big Bang was proposed."
"In addition, Professor Bruce Lee also worked in other natural sciences He also made considerable achievements in the field. "
"In December 1909, he participated in the research on the reaction conditions of artificial ammonia."
"In February 1910, he proposed the theory of creation. Gene mutation and gene chain hypothesis, in which gene mutation has been confirmed. ”
"In November 1912, it was proposed that quantum jumps lead to genetic mutations, and the concept of emergence was proposed."
"Finally, the Bruce Conference organized and held by Professor Bruce Lee has become the most authoritative conference in the field of physics."
“His far-reaching impact on the academic world is immeasurable.”
“The above is the introduction of Bruce Lee.” “Based on the above reasons, I nominate him as a foreigner of the Royal Society Academician.”
"Please ask questions."
Boom!
When Thomson read Li Qiwei's results one by one in chronological order, all the big guys present were shocked beyond measure.
Everyone knows that Bruce is awesome, but they didn’t expect him to be so awesome.
The bound book can indeed give people a huge shock.
"God, Professor Bruce is so scary."
"The key point is that he is only 33 years old and has already achieved so many achievements. It's so irritating that people are more popular than others."
"Many people If you can achieve one of these results in your lifetime, it will be enough to be famous in the academic world."
"Have you noticed that Professor Bruce has been vacant for several years?"
"This is me. You know, at that time he went back to his country to engage in construction, so he delayed his academic research. ”
"God, if Bruce didn't go back in those years, I can't imagine it."
Even the big guys in the British scientific field present had to lower their noble heads at this moment.
Facing Li Qiwei, who is like the god of science, everyone only has admiration in their hearts and cannot feel any jealousy.
Because the gap has become unimaginably large.
In the audience are Crooks and Ross, one is the president and the other is the vice president.
The faces of the two people were also full of shock, and then they showed a wry smile.
Since they joined the Royal Society, they have never encountered such a situation.
The candidate's achievements completely exceed the society's selection threshold.
Even the Royal Society is a bit unworthy of the other party.
Crooks sighed to Rose next to him in a low voice:
"Only when Newton was the president of the Royal Society, could Bruce be suppressed."
Ross was filled with emotion. Although he was not a physics major, he also knew Li Qiwei's status.
Although he could not understand those theories, it did not affect his evaluation of their status.
Although he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Ross knew that there was no academic comparison between himself and the other party.
Because Li Qiwei can do Ross's research work, even better than Ross.
But in turn, Ross couldn't even understand Ridgway's paper.
This is an objective gap that does exist, and it cannot be explained by just one word of professional difference.
Ross shook his head and smiled: "It seems that there is no suspense in today's election."
"I can't even imagine what will happen if Bruce is not elected as an academician. What a sensation."
Crooks smiled when he heard this.
In fact, before this, senior officials in the government approached him privately.
The revelation surprised Crooks.
The other party actually wanted to prevent Bruce from being elected as a foreign academician of the Royal Society.
Crooks had no comment.
Although the senior official had a good personal relationship with him, this does not change the fact of the election.
The Royal Society is not responsible to any department of government.
In other words, no one can order President Crooks to do anything.
Any meetings and decisions of the society do not need to be approved by the government.
Therefore, the senior official could only use personal relationships instead of administrative orders.
Crooks sighed inwardly: "No one can prevent Bruce from being elected as an academician, unless he goes against scientists all over the world."
Not to mention that he is incapable of controlling most of the academicians of the society.
Even if there is, if it comes out in the end, it will only make people laugh and bring disgrace to the Royal Society.
Crooks himself will be ruined.
After Thomson read Li Qiwei's academic achievements, Crooks already understood that there would be no accident when the other party was elected as an academician.
Although the Royal Society is the most authoritative academic institution in the UK and even the world, some people are born to transcend everything.
Newton, Maxwell, Bruce, all are like this.
Their brilliance is so shining that no imprisonment or shackles can block it.
Not to mention the means of hiding in the dark.
Crooks could understand the concerns of senior officials and friends, but when faced with Li Qiwei, he finally chose to stand on the side of truth.
“At least I won’t regret it when I’m buried.”
Thomson looked at the expressions of everyone in the audience with a smile on his face.
From the beginning, he knew that there would be no surprises in today's election.
The big guys present are all people who have a pious heart for academics.
Needless to say, Bruce is not only an academic achievement, but his character is even more admirable.
So in every aspect, he is a perfect scholar.
Apart from the fact that he has two wives, he has been criticized by many people.
However, this is also due to national conditions and is harmless.
Thomson sighed that his student had finally grown into a towering tree.
Bruce no longer needs any shelter.
"Thomson's student" became "Bruce's mentor".
In the audience, Rutherford looked shocked.
He knew very well that the results just announced by Professor Thomson would definitely not be the end of Bruce.
He looked at everyone in the auditorium and murmured to himself.
“You can’t imagine what kind of ambitions Bruce revealed in the first two days of the Second Bruce Conference.”
“In comparison, I’m afraid even the broad Relativity will also be eclipsed.”
"These current achievements are just the beginning for Bruce. His future is full of infinite possibilities."
"One day, the Royal Society will be lucky that it chose Bruce as an academician."
>"Otherwise, the Royal Society will become the laughing stock of the world."
Rutherford knew that once the Grand Unified Theory was completed by Bruce, the sensation caused would exceed the general theory of relativity.
When the time comes, the whole world will tremble.
Bruce is now the first person in science.
So what will it be called by then?
Rutherford even laughed at the thought.
Soon, after everyone was shocked, no one asked questions, but went directly to the election.
With 99% of the vote, Li Qiwei was undoubtedly elected as a foreign academician of the Royal Society.
Thomson, Rutherford and others all laughed happily.
When Li Qiwei learned of the selection result, he was teaching students at King's College.
Bakla and other colleagues congratulated him.
Li Qiwei smiled softly, and everyone was in admiration.
At this point, he has gone through the academic road perfectly, including bachelor's degree, doctorate, professor, and academician, and stood at the top.
And this is just the beginning.
