Chapter 1052 Nobel Prize Grand Slam?

Accompanied by the light and shadow show and symphony in the prelude of the Nobel Prize ceremony, several Nobel Prize winners of this year also slowly walked into the Blue Hall.

The baton in the hand of Peter Popelka, conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, waved faster and faster, and the music and atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

With the entry of Nobel Prize winners and invited guests, the symphony mixed with applause sounded like thunder.

Sitting in the front row, Professor David Gross, who was wearing a long gray wool coat, looked at the extremely young scholar on the stage with a hint of envy and emotion in his eyes.

"It's really unimaginable to win the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize in the same year~"

It must be said that the decision made by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences this year really shocked the whole world.

Not only the physics and chemistry circles, but also scholars in other fields such as mathematics and biology next door have cast their eyes on it.

Although many people know that with the achievements of the scholar on the stage, it is inevitable to win another Nobel Prize in Physics.

Even if the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences wanted to, he could dominate the physics prize for the next few years.

If he won the Nobel Prize in Physics alone this year, no one sitting here today would be surprised.

But winning the physics prize and the chemistry prize in the same year really surprised many people.

You know, even Marie Curie has never done this.

Marie Curie, also known as Marie 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 Becquerel for their research on radioactivity.

And in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry again for discovering the radioactive elements polonium and radium.

This great lady is not only the first person in the world to win two Nobel Prize medals, but also the only person to win both the physics prize and the chemistry prize.

Of course, after today, there will be one more person who wins both the physics prize and the chemistry prize.

Sitting next to Professor David Gross, Professor Frank Wilczek also had a deep envy and emotion on his face. He smiled and said:

"It is indeed surprising to win the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize at the same time, but don't you think it is more shocking that he won three Nobel Prizes at the same time?"

"You know, this is something that no one has ever done."

If you count the first Nobel Prize in Physics that this person won in 18 years, then after today, he will hold three Nobel Prize medals in his hands.

Just like winning the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize in the same year, this is also an honor that breaks the historical record, and it is something that no one has ever done.

If it is standing in the history of the physics community, with his achievements, he can now compete with Newton and Einstein for the top throne.

More importantly, he is still so young, less than 30 years old, and there are at least 50 years in the future to carry forward his influence.

There is no doubt that as time goes by, the first person in the physics community is destined to be him.

And this is just a fight for the throne of the physics community.

If the scope is expanded to the entire academic world, then he is undoubtedly the first person.

Yes!

If the scope of judgment is expanded to select a first person in all fields of the entire academic world, it is undoubtedly the young man sitting on the stage.

His achievements in the field of physics are now comparable to Newton and Einstein, but this is not all of him.

In mathematics, he solved three millennium problems by himself and completed the unification of strong electricity in mathematics.

In addition, the Xu-Wei-Berry theorem he completed is now a method used by the astronomical community to accurately measure and calculate the parameters of distant celestial bodies.

If humans enter the Age of Discovery, then the Xu-Wei-Berry theorem will be a great technology comparable to a compass.

It will help humans search for the most suitable planets for human habitation from countless planets in the vast universe.

Just like the compass in the Age of Discovery led humans at that time to find a new continent, it will give humans endless precious wealth.

In addition to physics and mathematics, his achievements in other disciplines are also not to be underestimated.

For example, the field of controlled nuclear fusion engineering, aerospace engineering, lithium batteries, superconducting materials, and so on.

Any of these achievements is difficult for any scholar to complete in his lifetime, but when they are gathered on one person.

There is no doubt that they are witnessing a great man in the academic world leading mankind into the unknown universe.

It must be said that for these witnesses, this is living in a "brilliant" era, which is both lucky and sad.

Fortunately, following the footsteps of that person, they can see the rapidly changing times, see more altars carrying knowledge, and see the future presented in front of them, within reach.

The sad thing is that this era was born for him alone. Everyone is shrouded in his glory, the epitome of the times, and in the future time, everyone will only remember his name.

On the side, David Gross smiled and said, "You said that he has already won 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 win all of them?"

Hearing this question, Frank Wilzek ​​looked over with some surprise, frowned slightly, "This should not be possible. Is it?"

"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 just the results he has made."

"Even the Chemistry Prize, I believe he might get it again."

"But he hasn't involved research on biology or medicine, as well as economics and astronomy awards, and has never heard of him 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? Should you 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 that I'm 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 have to 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."

“He doesn’t seem to have achieved anything or published in these fields.”

Gross smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Wilzek ​​looked over in surprise and asked hesitantly: "Really?"

Gross smiled and said, "There is indeed not on the surface, but don't forget that the problems of microbial 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 a 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 this crisis of bacterial infection in Mars is really solved by him, then with this result, I believe that the Royal Swedish Academy will definitely be Will consider awarding him a Biology Prize or a Medicine Prize.”

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? ? ”

"It's impossible for him to work in 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 thrust the corners of his mouth.

It seems to be true?

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, Professor Wilczek swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

If he won the Nobel Prize Grand Slam, it would be amazing!

Nobel Prize Grand Slam player, if this is really achieved, I am afraid that many people will be interested in his brain, right?

As Gross and Wilczek chatted, the performance on the stage gradually came to an end.

Under the guidance of Peter Popelka, conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the last beautiful note echoed in the Blue Hall and gradually faded away in the ears of everyone.

As the symphony orchestra left, Carl-Henrik Helding, president of the Nobel Foundation, dressed in a tuxedo, stood up from his seat and walked onto the podium calmly.

In the 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 provide a common basis for interaction among all mankind.

At the same time, on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, he praised the Nobel Prize winners of this year as a monument to the human mind, a role model for the world, and an authority in their respective fields, calling on people to learn from them.

At the same time, he also hoped and wished 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 President Carl's opening speech, the most important part of the award ceremony also came.

After the award of the Physiology or Medicine Prize, Professor Anders Ilbak, the chairman of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee for Physics, walked onto the stage.

The old man in a custom suit and black-framed glasses looked around the award hall and slowly said:

"For a long time, the standard model has been the most important building in theoretical physics, but how to unify the strong interaction force into the standard model is a problem that has not been solved."

As the old man spoke, the venue fell silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, quietly and excitedly waiting for him to continue.

".Due to the limitations of the standard model, the origin and evolution mechanism of strong interaction at high energy scales are not fully understood, which makes it impossible to unify strong interaction with electromagnetic and weak interactions."

"This makes it difficult for us to find a reasonable explanation to bring together strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force for a long time."

"It is like an eternal mystery that has existed since ancient times, falling into the chaos deep in the universe."

"But fortunately, we have found the answer."

"In the efforts of countless physicists, bricks and stones formed the ladder, and finally three great scholars jointly solved this century-old problem."

"They pushed our physics to a field that has never been set foot before, and completed the unification of strong and electric forces. It also led our civilization to a whole new height!"

Speaking of this, Professor Anders Ilbak paused, then took a deep breath, as if he was using up all his strength, and announced solemnly and high-spirited.

"I announce on behalf of the Nobel Prize in Physics Selection Committee."

"The winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics are——"

"Professors Xu Chuan, Edward Witten, and Pierre Deligne!"

"Let's congratulate them!"
