Chapter 243 The youngest and oldest Nobel Prize winner (please vote for me)
With the appearance of Xu Chuan, the media's cameras and the eyes of the crowd moved quickly, locking on the figure walking in the front.
Accompanied by his parents and sister Xu Xiao, Xu Chuan walked out of the hotel along the red carpet prepared by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Countless flash lights came towards me, dazzling in the dark night.
However, Xu Chuan was accustomed to this and walked forward with a smile.
Scanning the crowd on both sides of the passage, he saw a familiar and beautiful figure, as well as a camera with a familiar logo.
After nodding lightly to the other party with a smile, Xu Chuan continued to walk forward.
In the crowd, the CTV reporters and media guys who looked at each other with Xu Chuan showed excited expressions on their faces.
However, they did not forget their job. The cameraman carefully moved the camera to perfectly capture Xu Chuan's handsome face in the live broadcast room.
The beautiful reporter holding a microphone introduced the netizens in the live broadcast room in an exciting and proud tone:
"The Nobel Prize award ceremony has begun. This year's Nobel Prize winners are preparing to leave from the Stockholm Grand Hotel, and the person walking in front of us is Professor Xu Chuan, this year's Nobel Prize winner in Physics."
"At the age of 21, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, breaking previous historical records and becoming the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history."
"Not only that, Professor Xu Chuan also won the highest honor in mathematics, the Fields Medal, in August this year, becoming the first scientist in history to win both the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal."
"Let us congratulate him with warm applause!"
Outside the temporary isolation line, a beautiful reporter from CTV introduced passionately. At this exciting moment, many people were as excited as her.
Whether it is for an individual, for a country, or even for other people in this country, it is a matter worth celebrating that a compatriot has won the highest honor award on the planet.
A Nobel Prize in natural sciences, for a country, means that a certain science or scientific research field of this country has entered the forefront of the world.
This is undoubtedly something that greatly stimulates the development of science.
For example, the Physics Award received by Xu Chuan means that the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem will officially become a separate discipline.
Astronomy and mathematics will become the learning goals of major universities. Re-observation and calculation of stars, galaxies, nebulae and other celestial bodies in the distant universe, as well as the search for planets suitable for human survival, will also become the goals of the astronomy and astrophysics circles.
As the creator of this method, Xu Chuan will also become a veritable founder, just like Newton created calculus and Riemann created algebraic geometry.
Along the passage, Xu Chuan took his family to the special car waiting at the door of the hotel.
Maybe it’s because of his age or because his achievements are too dazzling. In short, he is the first Nobel Prize winner to come out of the hotel.
After the other Nobel laureates and their families boarded the special cars, the huge motorcade slowly drove forward to the venue of the award ceremony.
As in previous years, at four o'clock on time, after all the personnel were in place, in the Stockholm Concert Hall, with the singing of the Swedish royal music "King's Song", the 2018 Nobel Prize Award Ceremony officially kicked off. Curtain.
The awards ceremony was solemn and simple, with men wearing tuxedos or national costumes and women wearing serious evening gowns.
Ten flower baskets were placed on the stage of the Stockholm Concert Hall. The flowers in the baskets were flown in from Sanremo, Italy.
Because Mr. Nobel spent a long time there in his later years and died there.
As solemn music played, led by neatly dressed Swedish female college students, Xu Chuan walked onto the stage from behind the scenes. Sitting next to him was Arthur, another winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. ·Professor Ashkin.
Among a group of elderly people with an average age of over sixty-five, 21-year-old Xu Chuan stands out.
Especially compared with Professor Arthur Ashkin next to him, he didn't feel like he was from a century ago.
This old man was born in 1922 and is 96 years old this year.
Fortunately, he seemed to be quite strong and able to sit on the stage and complete the award ceremony (actually, for the 2018 Nobel Prize, this old man did not attend the event due to physical reasons, and his son accepted the award on his behalf. In the article slightly modified).
Yes, just sitting on the stage.
Except for the fact that the winners have to go to the center of the stage to receive the gold medal and certificate from the King of Sweden, the winners of the Nobel Prize basically sit down throughout the ceremony.
No way, you have to consider the age of the winner.
In a group where the average recipient is over 60 years old, many recipients received the medal in their 70s, 80s, or even 90s.
It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to stand for several hours to complete the award ceremony.
As for people like Xu Chuan who won the Nobel Prize in their twenties, looking back at more than a hundred years of history, you can count them in one slap.
After all the Nobel laureates were seated, the chairman of the Nobel Foundation, Carl-Henrik Herding, dressed in a tuxedo, stood up from his seat calmly and walked onto the podium.
In an exciting opening speech, President Carl welcomed the guests as usual and said that science is the language of the times and can build bridges between countries and cultures.
The importance of research is not limited to the generation of new knowledge, but can also play a role in popularizing (science) and providing a common basis for all human interactions.
At the same time, he also praised the winners on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as monuments to the human mind, role models for the world, and authorities in their respective fields, calling on people to learn from them.
At the same time, he also hopes and wishes that the winners will make greater scientific discoveries in their respective fields in the future, write better works, and contribute to world peace
With the end of President Carl's opening speech, the most important part of the award ceremony also came.
As usual, the first award is the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine selected by the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute.
Thomas Perlman, General Secretary of the Nobel Prize Committee, took the stage to announce his contribution to the field of tumor immunity (PD-1 immunotherapy target);
American scientist Professor James Allison and Sakura Nation scientist Professor Honjo Tasuku jointly won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The two scholars demonstrated for the first time that antibody blocking of a T-cell inhibitory molecule, known as CTLA-4, can lead to enhanced anti-tumor immune responses and tumor rejection.
This concept of blocking T cell inhibitory pathways as a way to unleash anti-tumor immune responses and bring clinical benefit lays the foundation for the development of other drugs targeting T cell inhibitory pathways. These drugs have been labeled "immune checkpoint therapies."
So far, drugs made based on this method have saved countless patients, or extended their lives, not just cancer.
Following the awarding of the Physiology or Medicine Prize, it is the Nobel Prize in Physics' turn.
General Secretary Thomas Perlman stepped down, and Professor Anders Ilbach, chairman of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee for Physics, stepped onto the stage.
"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made a bold choice for this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, which broke many historical records."
"Professor Xu Chuan from China has made great contributions to the field of astrophysics and created a new method of accurately calculating distant celestial bodies. He has also made great contributions to the field of lasers and created optical tweezers and their applications in biological systems. Professor Arthur Ashkin from the United States jointly won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. "Let us congratulate these two great scholars with warm applause."
In fact, Professor Anders Ilbach did not need to remind him that the quaint Stockholm Concert Hall was already filled with waves of applause.
Selection Committee Chairman Anders Ilbach was right. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics broke many historical records.
Whether it is Xu Chuan’s record as the youngest winner, or Professor Arthur Ashkin’s record as the oldest winner, or even distributing the physics prize to two completely different fields; they are all unique in history. Or uncommon.
Especially the former, at the age of 21, directly pushed forward Lawrence Bragg's record of 25 years old by four years.
This record is unlikely to be broken again.
Of course, the latter won the Nobel Prize at the age of ninety-six, so it may be equally difficult for him to be beaten.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Xu Chuan stood up and glanced at the old man next to him, Professor Arthur Ashkin. The two looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, and walked towards the center of the stage simultaneously.
The Nobel Prize, as the highest honor in the scientific community, is the greatest praise and encouragement for a scholar in the academic world and even in the world.
At present, no award can compare with the Nobel Prize in influence. In this regard, even the Fields Medal in mathematics is much inferior.
For a Nobel Prize winner, receiving a medal brings far more than just the bonus and glory.
As Lord Carl said, by being able to get this medal, they are already authorities in their respective fields!
In the center of the stage, under the gaze of pairs of eyes and the cameras of media reporters from all over the world, Xu Chuan bowed slightly and let King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden in front of him wear the golden necklace. The sparkling medal and received the red certificate.
Holding Xu Chuan's hand, Carl XVI Gustaf said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, the youngest winner in history."
Xu Chuan smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you."
Carl Gustav smiled and stood on the stage with Xu Chuan and Arthur Ashkin facing the audience.
In the audience, applause resounded throughout the Stockholm Concert Hall again.
In the distant Eastern Hemisphere, applause also sounded in front of mobile phones or computers, and countless people witnessed this great scene through their screens.
【Sichuan God is awesome! 】
[It’s amazing, the 21-year-old Nobel Prize winner is awesome in just one word! No need to say it twice! 】
[To be able to receive the award on this stage, it can be said that they are the pinnacle of human intelligence! Except for the Peace Prize (Comic)]
[It’s scary. He won the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal at the same time at the age of 21. I can’t even imagine how far he can grow in the future? When the time comes, what kind of awards can be awarded to him? 】
[He no longer needs to use awards to prove it. If there is any award, it must be named after the word "Xuchuan"! 】
[Twenty to forty years old is the golden age for a scientific researcher or scholar. He has just started and has already reached his peak, overlooking the world! 】
[Kawagami: That year, I put my hands in my pockets and didn’t know what an opponent was! 】
[Even if I carry the world of physics on my back and need to suppress mathematics with one hand, I, Xu Chuan, am still invincible in astronomy! 】
[This kind of person is probably the kind of giant in history who can promote the development of society and technology, such as Newton and Einstein. 】
[6. I am the same age as Sichuan God. I really want to see how our world will change in a few decades. 】
In the barrage of joy and congratulations, most people were congratulating, marveling, and teasing.
But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
When it comes to Chinese people winning the Nobel Prize, there are always some people with low IQs who like to show off their poor brain capacity.
Either the sour taste overflows the screen, or it is simply a failure to see that a Chinese person can win the Nobel Prize, or it is carrying the red flag to oppose the red flag.
[It’s just a rubbish foreign award. Is it worthy of you being so happy? Maybe someone took it and immigrated to the United States. The same goes for the man named Yang who immigrated to the United States after winning the Nobel Prize. And what use is that rubbish method for studying alien planets? Even if you find a planet like the Earth, will you be able to live with it? 】
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[Damn it, did you grow up eating shit upstairs? So smelly? 】
[What kind of person is looking for scolding when he is full? 】
[All the nine years of compulsory education have gone into a dog’s belly? 】
[Dog: I won’t fucking take the blame! 】
[Is this a proper five hundred thousand? What about the network administrator of the live broadcast room? Check the IP quickly. 】
[Earn money? Take me with you, forget it, I can't bear this money without conscience. 】
【.】
For the entire society, there will always be a group of people who make similar speeches.
Fortunately, most people have normal views. Soon, this barrage was submerged in the criticism of countless people in the live broadcast room.
As for Xu Chuan, who is far away in Sweden, he doesn't know this.
Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. The bad nature of human beings can never be eradicated, no matter what era or when.
Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to read more books or think about your own research.
PS: Thanks to Mr. Sugui for the reward, there will be another chapter tonight.
Dear friends, please give me some monthly votes, can you get 2,000? I dream of drawing a prize. If I can draw a prize, I will form a group next month. If I win, I will give out red envelopes in the group and give half of it to everyone\(￣︶￣*\) )
Thanks to Mr. Sugui for the reward, thank you.
PS: As for the heroine, forgive me that Yao is really not very good at writing emotional scenes. If you don’t like it, you can just skip it. Emotional drama is not the focus of this book either.
(I feel aggrieved, Yatsuo has something to say. For most people, starting a family and establishing a career is destined, even scientists are no exception. In fact, the more outstanding people are, the more they attract the attention of the opposite sex. With the excellence of the protagonist, , it is normal to be attracted to some people of the opposite sex. If there is no one, it is really abnormal. Of course, my writing skills are not enough to support emotional scenes, and I need to practice more in this area.)
