Accompanied by the light and shadow show and symphony prelude to the Nobel Prize award ceremony, several Nobel Prize winners of this year also slowly entered the Blue Hall.
The baton in the hands of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra was waving faster and faster, and the music and atmosphere on the scene also became enthusiastic.
With the entry of Nobel Prize winners and invited guests, the symphony mixed with applause rang out like thunder.
Sitting in the front row, Professor David Gross, wearing a long gray wool coat, looked on the extremely young scholar on the stage, with a hint of envy and emotion in his eyes.
"I can't imagine winning the Physics Award and Chemistry Award in the same year~"
It has to be said that the decision made by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences this year has indeed shocked the whole world.
Not only the physics and chemistry circles, but also the mathematics and biology circles next door have turned their attention to it.
Although many people know that it is inevitable to win another Nobel Prize in Physics with the achievements of the scholar on stage.
Even if the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences wanted, he could dominate the list of the physics awards for the next few years.
If he won the Nobel Prize in Physics this year, no one sitting here today would be surprised.
But the same year he won the Physics Award and Chemistry Award, which really made many people's glasses fall below.
You know, even Madame Curie has never done this.
Marie Curie, the famous Madame Curie in the academic world, is the first person in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.
In 1903, she won the Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie and Beckler, honoring their research on radioactivity.
In 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering radioactive elements polonium and radium.
This great lady is not only the first person in the world to win two Nobel Prizes, but also the only person to win the Physics Award and Chemistry Award at the same time.
Of course, after today, one more person will win the Physics Award and Chemistry Award.
Sitting beside Professor David Gross, Professor Frank Wilzek's face also had a deep envy and emotion, and he smiled and said:
"It's really surprising to win the Physics Award and the Chemistry Award at the same time, but don't you think it's more shocking to win three Nobel Prizes by himself?"
"You know, this is something that no one has ever done before."
If we count the first Nobel Prize in Physics this person won in 2018, then after today, he will hold three Nobel Prize medals alone.
Just like winning the Physics Award and Chemistry Award in the same year, this is also an honor that breaks historical records, and it is something that no one has ever done before.
If he was in the history of the physics community, with his achievements, he would be able to compete with Einstein for the peak throne.
More importantly, he is still so young, less than thirty years old, and he still has at least fifty years to carry forward his influence in the future.
There is no doubt that with the deduction of time, the number one person in physics is destined to be his.
And this is just a throne battle in the physics community.
If he expands the scope and places it in the entire academic community, then he is undoubtedly the first person.
Yes!
If the scope of judgment is expanded and a first person is selected in all fields of the entire academic community, there is no doubt that the young man sitting on the stage.
His achievements in physics are now comparable to Newton and Einstein, but that is not all about him.
In mathematics, he defeated three millennium problems alone and completed the strong electrical unification of mathematics.
In addition, the Xu Weil-Berry theorem he completed is like the method used by the literary community to accurately measure and calculate the parameters of distant celestial bodies today.
If humans enter the age of cosmic sailing, then Xu Weir-Berry's theorem will be a great technology comparable to a compass.
It will search for the most suitable planets for humans to live in from countless planets in the vast universe.
Just as the compass of the Age of Discovery led humans to find a brand new continent at that time, it will give humans endless precious wealth.
In addition to physics and mathematics, his achievements in other disciplines should not be underestimated.
For example, in the field of controlled nuclear fusion engineering, aerospace engineering, lithium batteries, superconducting materials, etc.
Any of these achievements is difficult for any scholar to complete his entire life, when they gather on a person.
There is no doubt that they are witnessing a great man from the academic world leading man into the unknown universe.
It has to be said that for these witnesses, this is a lucky and sad thing to live in a "brilliant" era.
Fortunately, following that person's footsteps, they can see the era of rapid change, see more altars carrying knowledge, and see the future present in front of them, within reach.
Sadly, this era was born for him alone, and everyone was shrouded in his glory, under the microcosm of the era, and in the future, everyone will only remember his name.
On the side, David Gross smiled and said, "You said that he has won both the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize, so what about the others?"
"For example, the Biology Prize or the Medicine Prize, the Economic Prize, and the Literature Prize, will he take it all?"
Hearing this question, Frank Wilzek looked over with some surprise, frowned slightly and said, "This should not be possible... right?"
"After all, these are quite different fields. I believe that if you say he won a few more Nobel Prize in Physics, it is not impossible to do so just the results he has made."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "I believe he may even get the Chemistry Prize again."
"But he hasn't been involved in research on biology or medicine, as well as economics and astronomy awards, nor has he ever heard of entering these fields."
Upon hearing this, David Gross smiled and said, "But what if what I said comes true one day? Do you want to make a bet? Don't you like to bet the most? Do you want to bet once this time?"
When he heard about betting, Professor Frank Wilzek, who had always been extremely keen on betting, subconsciously wanted to blurt out: "Yes, come and gamble!".
But he kept it back to his words.
If it were someone else, he would take the bet without hesitation.
But facing the young scholar sitting on the stage, even if he was absurd bet that sounded ridiculous, he was inexplicably a little cowardly.
Taking a deep breath, Wilzek touched his nose awkwardly, and said with a smirk: "Just make a bet."
Professor David Gross smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of the invitation to bet."
Wilzek: "No, this is not a coward, it's just... I'm just quitting gambling recently."
It seemed that he felt that his statement was a bit unbelievable. He coughed lightly, skipped the question quickly, looked at Professor Gross and asked curiously:
"But do you think of him so much? You should know that these are completely different fields, and cross-mathematical physics makes sense. There are not such scholars in history. In addition, chemistry and materials, I will calculate it.
He is talented and terriblely strong.”
"But biology, medicine, literature and economics are completely different."
"It seems that he has not achieved any achievements or published papers in these fields."
Gross smiled and said, "Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Wilzek looked over in surprise and asked hesitantly: "Is there really?"
Gross smiled and said, "There is no on the surface, but don't forget that the problems of microorganisms and bacteria from Mars infected astronauts and scientific researchers from various countries two or three months ago."
Hearing this, Wilzek couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Don't tell me that he did it too? How is that possible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
Gross shrugged and smiled, "Although I was not involved in this matter, based on my understanding of medical experts and scientific researchers from various countries, they want to solve it in just two or three months."
The bacterial infection crisis from Mars is almost impossible.”
"Unless there is strong foreign aid involved."
"You know, let alone the bacterial infection crisis from extraterrestrial planets, even the virus infection epidemic on Earth is not resolved so quickly."
Wilzek: "So you think he took the initiative to solve this problem?"
Gross glanced at him and said, "Can anyone else be able to create such a miracle?"
After a brief pause, he moved his eyes from Wilzek to Xu Chuan in the center of the stage and continued: "If he really solved the crisis of bacterial infection in Mars, then with this result, I believe that the Royal Swedish Academy will definitely be
He will consider awarding a Biology Prize or a Medicine Prize to him.”
Hearing this, Professor Frank Wilzek breathed a sigh of relief and spread his hands and said, "Well, even if it is a Medical Prize or a Biology Prize, it may be awarded for this matter. Isn't there any Economic Prize and Literature Prize?
?”
"He can't go into these two areas, right?"
"As far as I understand, he has no interest in these two fields."
Gross smiled and said, "People's interests will gradually change with age. Maybe he is not interested now, but what about the future?"
"Don't forget that economics is the most linked field to mathematics. Whether it is Princeton or Paris High School, a large number of graduates flow to finance and Wall Street every year."
"With his mathematical ability, if he enters the financial field and makes up a few prediction models, he may be able to shake the entire economics."
“To the Literary Prize…”
Speaking of this, he looked at Wilzek and laughed and joked, "You didn't write books when you were young, what about now?"
Hearing this, Professor Frank Wilzek couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
It seems...is it really?
According to Professor Gross, the most difficult part of the remaining Nobel Prizes should be the Biology Prize and the Medicine Prize.
As long as you get this done, it doesn’t seem impossible to win the Nobel Prize Grand Slam.
After all, neither the Economics Prize nor the Literature Prize is the core natural science award for the Nobel Prize, and its importance is not that high compared to the previous three.
If that person really wants to do economics or literature, get a few prediction models across fields or write a few popular science novels, he might actually win the next two awards.
Of course, both of them did not mention the Peace Prize in a tacit understanding.
After all, in the eyes of most scholars, this award has been expelled from the Nobel Prize.
Thinking about it, Professor Wilzek subconsciously swallowed.
If he won the Nobel Prize Grand Slam, it would be absolutely amazing!
If you really do this, many people will probably be interested in his brain, right?
......
With Gross and Wilzek's chat, the performance on the stage gradually came to an end.
Under the guidance of Peter Poperca, conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the last wonderful note echoed in the Blue Hall and gradually disappeared into the ears of everyone.
With the departure of the symphony orchestra, Carl Helding, the president of the Nobel Foundation, calmly stood up from his seat and walked onto the podium in a tuxedo.
In his exciting opening speech, President Carl expressed his welcome to the guests as usual, saying that science is the language of the times and can build a bridge between the country and culture.
The importance of research is not limited to the generation of new knowledge, but can also play a role in popularizing (scientific) and provide a common basis for the interaction of all mankind.
At the same time, on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, he also praised this Nobel Prize winner as a monument to the human mind, an example to the world, and an authority in their respective fields, and called on people to learn from them.
At the same time, he also hopes and wishes the winners to make greater scientific discoveries in their respective fields in the future, write better works, and contribute to world peace...
With the end of Carl's opening speech, the most important part of the award ceremony also came.
After the award of the Physiology or Medicine Prize is completed, Professor Anders Irbak, the selection committee chairman of the Nobel Prize for Physics Selection Committee, took to the stage.
The old man in a custom suit and black-framed glasses glanced around the awards hall and said slowly:
"For a long time, the Standard Model has been the most important building in theoretical physics, but how to unify strong interaction forces into the Standard Model is a difficult problem that has not been solved."
With the old man's mouth, the venue became quiet.
Everyone's eyes fell on him, waiting quietly and excitedly for him to continue talking.
"......Due to limitations in the standard model, the origin and evolution mechanism of strong interactions under high-energy scales have not been fully understood, which makes strong interactions unable to be unified with electromagnetic and weak interactions."
"This makes it difficult for us to find a reasonable explanation for summarizing strong, weak and electromagnetic forces together for a long time."
"It falls into chaos deep in the universe like an eternal puzzle."
"But luckily, we've found that answer."
"In the continuous efforts of countless physicists, bricks and stones form the ladder, and finally, three great scholars have jointly solved the problems of this century."
"They have pushed our physics to a field that they have never set foot in before, and have completed the unification of strong electricity. They have also led our civilization to a whole new level!"
Speaking of this, Professor Anders Ilbak paused, then took a deep breath, as if he was using all his strength to announce solemnly and proudly.
"On behalf of the Nobel Prize in Physics Selection Committee, I announce it."
"The winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics is—"
"Three professors Xu Chuan, Edward Witten, and Pierre Deligne!"
