Jagland-Berhard-Andersen is one of the most influential astrophysicists in the world and plays a pivotal role in the international physics community.
Such a person naturally has many titles, such as academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, deputy president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and director of the Institute of Cosmic Physics of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Last year, the Nobel Prize Committee held a rotation election, and Yagland's title was increased by another. He became the chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics.
As the chairman of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, Yagland naturally has to consider the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics. When he officially became the chairman of the committee, he already knew that there was a very important candidate in the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
It can't be avoided.
That is Wang Hao.
In the past three years, Wang Hao has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics every year, but the highest time he was only included in the list of 50 people.
When he first entered the shortlist, the international physics community was saying that Wang Hao would definitely win the Nobel Prize in Physics, but later he won the Nobel Prize for astrophysical research.
In the second and third years, the situation was similar. The selection never included any content related to annihilation theory or superconducting theory research.
The Nobel Prize in Physics seems to have deliberately bypassed Wang Hao.
Many scholars in the physics community are very dissatisfied with this, but at the beginning, the reasons given by the Nobel Committee were also very legitimate. They believed that the annihilation theory was just a theory. Even if some phenomena were discovered, they were not sure that the annihilation force was real.
exist.
This reason is quite good. In the past selections for the Nobel Prize in Physics, many studies were awarded only after they had a great impact.
Because of this, awards will be awarded to research conducted several years or more than ten years ago, and rarely to research that has just been completed, because no matter how much recognition the research has just completed, it is not necessarily 100% correct.
For the Nobel Prize in Physics, the accuracy of research is very important.
The same was true for the next two years.
With the development of superconducting material technology and the public research on strong annihilation force, the international physics community is increasingly calling for Wang Hao to win the award.
Not every scholar will be affected by politics. In other words, most top scholars will not be affected by political factors when they look at academic issues.
If they are easily influenced by political factors, they are unlikely to become top scholars.
In the view of most top scholars, the selection of academic awards must not be mixed with political factors. On this basis, the Nobel Prize in Physics is naturally awarded to Wang Hao. Other research discoveries, whether in terms of influence or contribution to
The theories and the effects brought by technology are not on the same level at all.
Yagland thinks so too, but after taking up the job of selecting the Nobel Prize in Physics, he knows that the award selection will still be affected by political factors. The specific impact depends on the execution of the selection. In addition, he also needs to consider
other factors.
He heard many reasons why the Nobel Prize in Physics could not be awarded to Wang Hao.
For example, Wang Hao himself will definitely not come to receive the award, which is very embarrassing.
Also, if the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to research on annihilation theory or basic theoretical research on superconductivity, it would be impossible for Wang Hao and his team to win just one Nobel Prize in Physics.
The Nobel Prize in Physics can be awarded more than once to a person or a team. Even for research in the same field, it may be awarded twice or more as long as the results are influential enough.
There are precedents in history.
Up to now, a total of five scientists have won two Nobel Prizes in Physics.
In chronological order, they are Marie Curie, Linus-Karl Pauling, John Bardeen, Frederick Sanger, and Carl Barry-Sharples.
Among them, John Bardeen, the American Physics Prize, won two Nobel Prizes in Physics for his research on semiconductors and transistor effects and low-temperature ultrasonics.
Guidance theory.
Even in terms of current results, Wang Hao is certainly far better than John Bardeen. It is not an exaggeration to award ten Nobel Prizes in Physics for his exploration of the direction of annihilation physics.
If the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to the basic theory of superconductivity or the research on annihilation physics, will all the Nobel Prizes in Physics in the next few years be awarded to Wang Hao and his team of scholars?
At that time, the Nobel Prize in Physics may be renamed the 'Wang Hao Prize in Physics'. "Alas~~"
Yaglan thought for a long time and sighed. This is where the trouble lies.
Yagland has even begun to regret accepting the job of the Nobel Prize selection committee in physics. The Nobel Prize committee rotates selections every three years, so his working time is only three years.
If all the physics prizes were awarded to Wang Hao and his team of scholars within three years, Yaglan could only imagine what public opinion would say when he leaves office... "Look, it's him, Yagland,
He has been in charge of the committee for three years and has done nothing but award awards to Wang Hao one after another."
"This job is so easy, I can do it too." "I can do it too..."
"My Chris can do it. As long as I tell him, he will know what to do. By the way, Chris is already three years old."
"Yaglan? That guy is Wang Hao's spokesperson..."
It was a headache for Yaglan to think about it deeply. He somewhat understood why the previous committee always rejected Wang Hao for various reasons.
That is not only political or other factors, but also includes the impact on individuals.
Yagland continued to think but was determined. Apart from his work as committee chairman, he was also a top astrophysicist.
Simply put, he is a scholar.
The chairman of the committee can only work for three years, and it is part-time, but the status of a scholar is indeed lifelong.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, as the vice president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, he believes that he must be responsible for the world influence and development of the Nobel Prize.
Now there are many top scholars in the international physics community who are dissatisfied with the selection of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
If I continue to delay...
"Peace Prize?" Yaglan shook his head sarcastically.
Many people confuse various Nobel prizes with one another. In fact, some prizes are completely different.
This is mainly due to differences in selection agencies.
The various Nobel Prizes are not selected by one institution. For example, the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize are evaluated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The Physiology or Medicine Prize is assessed by the Royal Karolinska Institute of Sweden. The Nobel Prize in Literature is assessed by the Swedish Academy.
The Nobel Peace Prize is selected by the Norwegian Parliament.
From the perspective of the selection organization, we also know that the selection of the Nobel Peace Prize will almost certainly be affected by political factors, because the award is originally selected by a group of politicians.
"Academics are not politics..."
"Even if it is just to ensure the fairness of the Nobel Prize in Physics and the influence of the academic community, we must support the annihilation theory award this year!"
Yaglan made a decision.
the other side.
Wang Hao did not expect that the establishment of the "Annihilation Theory and Physics" issue would actually affect the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics.
He attaches great importance to the journal Annihilation Theory and Physics.
The academic influence of research is very important, but after the research is completed, it must be published. He hopes that he can be independent in publishing and not be controlled by others.
Driven by this idea, Wang Haocai decided to establish a new academic journal.
Some domestic academic journals also have a certain degree of influence. For example, journals under the Academy of Sciences and journals from some top domestic universities also have some influence.
However, it must be admitted that China does lack the right to speak academically, and there are no journals with top influence in the field of physics.
one
The influence of academic journals is mainly reflected in how many top scholars and top research results are published in them.
For example, some domestic academic journals publish mostly ordinary research, while domestic top scholars and top results will basically submit their articles to foreign journals.
This is mainly because domestic academic journals lack global influence.
If you submit your manuscript to a journal that lacks influence, it will not be seen by a larger group of scholars, and it will be difficult to have much influence if it is published.
In terms of data indicators, both download volume and citation rate will be very poor.
In fact, most domestic academic journals have low influence, mainly because of the small number of top talents in individual fields.
For example, Princeton University.
The whole world knows that Princeton University is the palace of mathematics. It can be described as a gathering of mathematical geniuses. Many top mathematicians work at Princeton University. Naturally, the "Journal of Mathematics" with the background of Princeton University has a huge influence.
It is one of the four major journals in mathematics.
The same is true in other fields.
Now in the field of annihilation physics, the Antigravity Behavior Research Center is the most authoritative, while the Superconducting Materials Research Center has the most advanced superconducting materials technology and has gathered a large number of talents in related fields.
The two institutions together, plus the Mason Mathematical Sciences Laboratory, which produces theory, are enough to support the development of the journal "Annihilation Theory and Physics".
