I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Someone asked me, Shen Qi, you are good at mathematics, why did you enter the physics world, why did you enter the physics world?" Shen Qi's opening remarks started with a self-question.

Self-question followed by self-answer: "When one road fails, you will naturally choose another road. This is human instinct."

"Mathematics and physics are actually one road. If this road fails or comes to an end, I will choose another road." Shen Qi operated the PPT on the screen to play, and said: "Okay, let's get into the topic, The title of my report today is "A Review of Structural Research in Condensed Matter Physics."

"Because it is an integrated and sorted version of the four research results I published before, the original review report is very long, with more than 500 pages. The conference only gave me 3 hours, and I myself want to finish it within 3 hours. Finish the report in less time, if the report takes too long, everyone may fall asleep."

"I condensed the content of the 3-hour report into 180 pages, that is, the rhythm of one page per minute. I will publish the original text of more than 500 pages after the meeting. Are you ready? Okay, then I will formally start."

The first part of Shen Qi's report is "Study on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Homotopy Groups". He has never talked about this purely theoretical research result in public. All the physics masters added up and published it.

Most of the physicists present here are applied physicists. After listening to pure theoretical things for a long time, they tend to fall asleep. Some people can't help but take out their mobile phones to play.

The second part of the report is "On Complexity". This part is more theoretical. When Witten reviewed this article for the first time, he didn't understand it, and he only understood it the second time.

After understanding it, Wei Teng reminded Shen Qi, if you want to win awards and honors in the world, don't write such esoteric articles, if you don't care about the evaluation of the world, just keep playing.

More and more colleagues in the physics field here are dozing off, not because Shen Qi's speech is not good, but because Shen Qi's speech is too in-depth, many people find it difficult to understand.

That is to say, Professor Cui and Chairman Zhu listened with gusto. Big bosses are different from ordinary physicists. It’s right that ordinary people can’t understand the communication between big bosses.

"...So, the first two parts summed up a universal law: the complexity in condensed matter physics follows the classification of defects in ordered media established in order parameter space in topology." Shen Qi threw out a summary, saying To: "This means that we can use mathematical means to explain the microscopic properties of condensed matter."

The audience was silent.

Then you explain it... Someone whispered.

Shen Qi smiled and entered the third part.

The third part is a link between the past and the future. This part is based on the universal laws of condensed matter physics summed up by Shen Qi, and takes complex oxides as an example to illustrate how to describe a type of phase transition mechanism through a mathematical physical model.

At this time, the atmosphere on the scene became active, and colleagues in the physics field were full of enthusiasm. Data, charts, and drawings were very familiar to them, and they were the most familiar things.

When Shen Qi talked about "Shen Qi's Phase Transition Rules" and "Shen Qi's Equation", the audience burst into warm applause.

Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts, understood, it was very exciting, Professor Shen was superb.

Some colleagues have just returned from a business trip in the United States. They know that the latest version of the condensed matter physics textbooks of those schools in the Ivy League have added "Shen Qi phase transition rule" and "Shen Qi equation".

"Niu, this is really good. I visited and exchanged at Harvard last week. Their physics lecturer mentioned the Shen-Qi phase transition rule and Shen-Qi equation in class, saying that this is an important test point." A physics professor whispered to his partner Speaking of.

"This test site is very difficult." My partner is worried about the physics students in the United States.

Shen Qi's report lasted more than 2 hours, and he is discussing the fourth part, based on the topological research method, describing the microstructure characteristics of amorphous alloys, "... In summary, inhomogeneity is the soul of amorphous alloy research , In the long-range disorder of amorphous alloys, the intrinsic inhomogeneity and order are hidden. My team and I have found the hidden secret."

"Please look at the big screen. Taking a typical palladium-nickel-copper-phosphorus amorphous alloy as an example, based on the research model combining experiments and theoretical simulations, we have discovered its microscopic mechanism, the spatial connection of these short-program polyhedral cluster structures, We constructed the medium program of the amorphous structure, and through the local five-time symmetry treatment, we proved the inhomogeneity of the amorphous structure at the nanometer and even micrometer scales."

"In the last few minutes, I will talk about the fifth part of this report."

"The fifth part is actually a summary, a universal theoretical principle, a basic rule of phase transition, a basic mathematical physics equation, and a definitional description of microstructure."

"This is all my experience in condensed matter physics in the past few years. Tens of thousands of pages of drafts, more than a thousand experiments and computer simulations, a lot of work is finally summarized into three sentences and an equation on the screen." Shen Qi Speaking with great emotion, it resonated with the guests on stage.

"I will always remember a sentence that my physics tutor Edward Witten said. Of course, the original of this sentence is Einstein."

"The supreme test of the physicist is to arrive at those fundamental laws of universality from which the universe can be deduced."

"My report is over, thank you for listening." Shen Qi bowed to express his thanks for the end of the report, no more, no less, it took 3 hours.

There was thunderous applause and rave reviews, and the guests all praised: "It's a great work, of great significance."

After the meeting, Shen Qi met Professor Cui and Chairman Zhu, and they chatted cordially.

Professor Cui, who is engaged in the research of condensed matter physics, said to Shen Qi: "Your review of condensed matter physics is a milestone and very shocking."

Chairman Zhu said: "Shen Qi, you are building a theoretical system, but it is not the kind of ethereal theory that will have extremely high application value after being widely verified."

"Thank you for the affirmation of the two seniors." Shen Qi and the two Nobel Prize winners were connected.

"I have to recommend it." Chairman Zhu said to Professor Cui.

"That is necessary." Professor Cui agreed.

So Chairman Zhu and Professor Cui recommended Shen Qi's name to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

The Nobel Prize has a set of strict recommendation and selection procedures.

The Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize are judged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, while the other four prizes are judged by other institutions.

The Nobel Prize Selection Committee does not accept self-recommendations. Those eligible for recommendation are: previous Nobel Prize winners, members of the Nobel Prize Jury, specially designated university professors, and invited professors of the Nobel Prize Jury.

As far as the physics prize is concerned, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences accepts the list of recommenders from September to January 31 of the following year.

From February 1st, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will screen and approve the recommended candidates, and the work situation will be kept strictly confidential.

In mid-October, the list of Nobel Prize winners will be announced.

December 10th is the anniversary of Nobel's death. The Nobel Prize awarding ceremony is held in Stockholm and Oslo (the Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Parliament). The King and Queen of Sweden attended and awarded the award.

It is now September, and Shen Qi has been nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics by two Chinese Nobel laureates.

The Nobel Prize on December 10 this year is to recognize nominees who were nominated before February 1 this year.

What Shen Qi is about to hit is the Nobel Prize on December 10 next year.

After the Chinese Physicists Conference, Shen Qi published more than 500 pages of "Review of Structural Research in Condensed Matter Physics", which was preprinted on arVix.

In terms of substance, because this masterpiece has too many pages, Shen Qi commissioned the German Springer Publishing Group to help him organize and edit it into a physics academic monograph, which will be published in the global field outside China. The publication and distribution of the Chinese version is entrusted to Yanda Publishing House.

If you want to read it for free, you can log in to arVix to check the electronic version, and if you want to buy a physical book for collection, then you can pay a few dollars for it.

A basic rule of phase transition and a basic mathematical physics equation in the "Review of the Structural Research of Condensed Matter Physics" have been verified and recognized by the international physics community. It is a fact that Shen Qi phase transition rules and Shen Qi equations have entered American university textbooks.

A universal theoretical principle and a definitional description of microstructure need some time for the international physics community to verify.

The most important thing was the attitude of the judges from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Shen Qi didn't know who the judges were, just wait, what should come will always come.
