How great is Yang Zhenning? His achievements can be compared with those of Einstein. In addition, his contribution to the motherland also includes 1 help list.
Yang Zhenning is an Anhui native, born in 1922. At the age of five, under the guidance of my mother, I had learned more than 3,000 Chinese characters. Because my father is a professor in Tsinghua University, I have lived in a compound in Tsinghua since I was a child. It can be said that such a high starting point in life doomed his extraordinary life.
Yang Zhenning, 20, became a graduate of National Southwest Associated University. Three years later, he won a scholarship to study in America. So he crossed the ocean and came to the University of Chicago. Three years later, he received a doctorate in philosophy.
1 year later, Yang Zhenning entered the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, and Li Zhengdao cooperated with him. Neither of them expected that seven years later, their cooperation would usher in the world-renowned Nobel Prize in Physics.
Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao often gather on the soft lawn of Princeton to talk, and it is here that they set the same goal: to introduce the theory of parity non-conservation. From the initial idea on the lawn to numerous demonstrations in the laboratory, finally, they published a paper together and won the Nobel Prize. In history, the Nobel Prize in Physics was won by two people from China for the first time. At that time, Yang Zhenning was only 34 years old.
Einstein is famous for his theory of relativity, while Yang Zhenning reached the peak of his academic achievements because of the theory of parity non-conservation. After winning the Nobel Prize, he continued to conquer statistical mechanics, particle physics and quantum field theory. In the end, Yang-Mills theory, parity non-conservation and Yang-Baxter equation became his most important achievements.
Among them, Young-Baxter equation opened the barrier between physics and mathematics. Later, many Fields Prize winners were studying this theory.
Yang Zhenning's theory established the standard model of particle physics. From then on, three of the four basic forces can be described by one theory, which is also a scientific research project that Ains has been painstakingly studying but failed in his later years.
It can be said that Yang Zhenning's achievements are comparable to Einstein's.
After winning the Nobel Prize, Yang Zhenning became a world-famous leader and was invited by all countries. However, in the end, he chose to return to the motherland. This is also the first famous American scholar to visit China after the founding of New China.
After Yang Zhenning returned to the United States from his visit, he gave speeches everywhere to publicize the changes in new China. His speech inspired many Americans' enthusiasm for China, and many China people were willing to go to China because of his speech. It can be said that he became a bridge between China and the United States in that special era.
Later, Yang Zhenning returned to the motherland many times. Once, when that special movement was held in China, many scientists and scholars suffered all kinds of persecution and torture. Yang Zhenning specially listed a list of relatives and friends to meet. You know, in his capacity, every friend and relative on this list will be specially protected from harm.
This list protects a group of scientists who have made great contributions to the future development of new China, including two founding fathers, Deng Jiaxian. It can be said that this is a life-saving list.
1998, Yang Zhenning became a professor in Tsinghua University. After that, I lived in Tsinghua campus for a long time. 20 17 restoration of China nationality. With his efforts, Tsinghua University's scientific research level has also made a brand-new development.
It can be said that Yang Zhenning did contribute to the motherland. Einstein's wisdom is appreciated by the whole world. Yang Zhenning's wisdom has benefited China a lot.
