In addition, Hawking also participated in the filming of "The Big Bang Theory" and recorded music with the veteran rock band Pink Floyd. These behaviors made him often appear in the public eye; coupled with his physical disability and strong will

His experience makes it easy for those who don't know much about the scientific world to think that he is the best among the scientists currently alive.

This also provided great help for Hawking to obtain funding and promote his own academic ideas; think about it, at the same academic level, Hawking and someone whose name you have never heard of came to spread his ideas to you at the same time.

Doctrine, whose opinion will you believe?

Lu Qiujian's popularity among the Chinese people now exceeds that of academician Qiao and other seniors. In addition to the achievements of Poincaré's conjecture, it is also inseparable from the hype of him by major sports media; but this is not enough, so

He has just recorded such a program. If he waits until his status in the hearts of Chinese people is similar to that of Hawking, his own popularity will play a big role, whether it is setting up his own laboratory or applying for fees.

Of course, it would be even better if he won the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians two years later! As China’s first winner of the heavyweight Natural Science Prize, this title will add a layer of glory to him.

Halo; with this thing by your side, you can ignore the bad habit of ranking based on seniority and become a powerful presence in the Chinese scientific community.

For the above reasons, Lu Qiujian was particularly careful when producing the program, striving to make more people understand and like his teaching methods; in order to better achieve his goal, he also used educational psychology in the program

, disseminating psychology and other related knowledge must maximize the effect.

In addition to fame, another reason is that to complete his plan, he must have a large number of subordinates with solid knowledge to cooperate; what he is doing now is to lay a solid foundation in mathematics for these children, so that they can pass the entrance examination

After college, whether they are studying physics, chemistry or mechanical computing, mathematics will not hold them back.

Because each episode of the program is not long, it does not take him too much time. He works in front of the computer for half an hour every day, and the update the next day is successfully completed; the remaining time is left to arxiv and classes.

and the study of physics.

In addition to going to the classroom to take his professional courses, he often goes to the physics department to attend classes, because relying entirely on self-study is not efficient enough.

The Physics Department of Capital University developed rapidly after the turmoil. With the help of overseas Chinese physicists such as Li Zhengdao, it struggled to catch up with the international research frontier. During this period, the Capital Modern Physics Research Center founded by Li Zhengdao began to develop.

Very useful.

The main role of this center is to organize research and activate academic exchanges at home and abroad, and promote scientific research in the frontier fields of physics in China; it has trained a large number of young physicists for China and Beijing Normal University, making them the backbone of catching up with the international frontier.

.

This is also of great benefit to Lu Qiujian. At least some of the more basic knowledge can be answered smoothly by the substitute teacher, which saves him a lot of time.

Physics and mathematics have always been closely related. If you want to learn physics well, basic knowledge such as group theory, mathematical equations, partial differential equations, differential geometry, statistics, probability theory, etc. are all necessary, so students in the mathematics department want to switch to

The physics department is much more convenient than other majors. At least they no longer have to worry about basic mathematics. They can start directly from the most basic mechanics, thermal science, optics, and electricity, and then slowly deepen into theoretical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and computational physics...

....Until higher-end general relativity, quantum field theory, etc.

Therefore, these teachers also knew Lu Qiujian. Every time they met him and asked questions, they would politely answer him. Sometimes they would also share their own confusions in mathematics with him. After learning that he wanted to transfer to a postgraduate degree in physics,

, and even enthusiastically helped him introduce the current status of physics departments in various universities around the world.

"If you want to study high-energy physics, the United States is still the best choice. Caltech, MIT, and Princeton, where you were previously, are all top-notch in the world!" The teacher from the physics department patiently explained to him, "

If you don’t want to go to the United States, you can also go to the United Kingdom. The strength of these two time-honored schools, Oxford and Cambridge, is not weaker than the above three schools.

Imperial College London is also very strong; in addition to France's Université Paris VI and Université Eleven, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich also has its own unique features. Of course, the Russian University in Lucia is also very powerful. It's just about the funding.

I’m afraid I can’t compare with those previous schools! High-energy physics is the most expensive program, and you can’t do it without money.”

"The school is important, but the tutor is the key!" Lu Qiujian replied with a smile. Regarding the choice of school, he had already checked through various parties and found the one that was most suitable for him.

"Well, you're right! But since you have stayed at Princeton, why don't you go to Witten or Dyson? There are not many physicists alive today who can compare with them?" When he talked about this, he said

His face was full of pity, "I counted, there are only a few people including Weinberg, Philip Anderson, Hawking, Weltman, Higgs, Gross and Yang Zhenning. If I have the opportunity to work under him

Studying, I’m willing to do whatever you ask me to do!”

It can be seen from this list that the Nobel Prize is not the key to evaluating the greatness of physicists. Among these people, Chen-ning Yang, Anderson, Weltman, Weinberg and Gross.

Gus won't win the prize until later when the Higgs boson was discovered.

The reason is that the Nobel Prize is very cautious about theoretical research. For example, Einstein won the award because he discovered the photoelectric effect, but his greater achievement, the theory of relativity, was not eligible for the award; the reason why Chen Ning Yang won the award was also because of parity nonconservation.

Theory, rather than the greater Yangmi equation. Applied physical results are easy to test, but theoretical ones are countless times more difficult. The Nobel Committee is also afraid of awarding the wrong prize.

If I make a request to Dyson and Witten, they will probably agree to accept me as their disciple after testing my physics foundation, right?

But Lu Qiujian had no such choice, because there was something more attractive to him in Europe, and that was the European Center for Nuclear Research (cern for short). Any theory needs to be tested experimentally, and CERN has the largest laboratory in the world.

High energy physics experimental facilities. (To be continued.)
