Chapter 1334

Shanghai International Exhibition Center.

Two days have passed since the end of the Centennial Physics Conference. The posters in the exhibition area have been removed. However, there are still some imcrc staff and physicists who have not yet left.

And the reporters who came here to interview.

"This is Fox News. Before the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center, physicists attending the Centennial physics summit have left one after another, but there are still some scholars who are unwilling to leave. Let's interview them Hello, sir, "I found a thin, tall and scholar looking man who was closest to me. The reporter wandering outside the exhibition center handed out his microphone and said," Hello, sir, are you an imcrc staff member? "

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Professor pierce looked up and down at the reporter and said, "no, I'm a professor of high energy physics from Oxford University What can I do for you? "

Reporter: "what happened here? It's been two days since the Centennial Physics Conference. Why are so many people reluctant to leave? "

"I have some things to deal with with with the Scientific Research Institute at Stockholm University, and I have to stay in Shanghai for about two days," said Professor Pierce, looking at the people not far away from the reporter, who immediately understood what he wanted to know. "Of course, some people stay here because I hope Professor Lu can stay. "

Reporter: "I heard that many people in physics were surprised by Professor Lu's resignation from imcrc?"

Professor Pierce: "that's it."

Reporter: "in your opinion, what kind of impact might this have on imcrc?"

Professor pierce thought for a moment and said.

"It's hard to say But many people gathered here because of him. Now, he chose to leave At least in my mind, imcrc has lost half or more of its appeal. "

"It's a sad thing to say."

Professor Pierce's view is only a microcosm of the general view in physics.

In fact, it's not just Fox News. Most of the media's answers to the interviews with well-known scholars in the field of physics are more or less pessimistic.

Almost everyone was surprised by the choice of a land boat.

Only a few people think that he did the right thing, and a few people think that his departure will not have any impact on the progress of physics.

Under the influence of this pessimism, imcrc's Committee is undoubtedly the most stressed.

In addition to those annoying journalists, there is also internal pressure from the academic community. In recent days, imcrc's mailbox has been almost filled with emails from all directions.

The news that Lu Zhou quit imcrc Council also occupied the headlines of major newspapers at an incredible speed.

BBC even made a documentary. From the perspective of five physicists engaged in research in different fields, BBC talked about the unified theory of strong electricity, the theory of void, the theory of hyperspace, and what the reward of 100 million yuan had brought to the physics field, and what impact his departure would bring to the future of the physics field.

As the discoverer of Higgs particle, in an interview with the BBC, Higgs, who is nearly one hundred years old, said after thinking for a moment.

"I'm not optimistic about the future of imcrc."

"Imcrc has not been smooth since its establishment. As far as I know, there have been at least two crises during this period that are enough to break up the international cooperation organization. "

"However, the reason why imcrc can survive the crisis smoothly is not because of how solid its cooperation mechanism is, nor because of how deep its foundation is. It is only because of the land boat, which has brought many people together with its own academic reputation. You can see that many North American research institutions had withdrawn imcrc at that time, even the representatives of the US side. However, many North American scholars remained as individuals, and finally completed the discovery of a series of physical phenomena such as Z particle and high-dimensional particle motion law. "

"Imcrc without a boat is like a building without a load-bearing wall Who do you think will be able to replace the chairman? "

At this point, the old man giggled and joked.

"Even if I were fifty years younger, I would not be able to do it."

Professor Higgs has voiced the concerns of many top physicists.

In fact, most people hope that this international scientific research organization can run for a long time.

However, this is just a kind of good wish, which is not enough to be the cornerstone of imcrc's continuing prosperity. Many people are worried that once the ship leaves, no one will be able to bear the responsibility of the physics helmsman. They can only watch the ship collapse in the dangerous sea.Academia is a voice of pessimism.

The news from the outside world is also generally not optimistic about the future of imcrc, which has lost its boat.

But at this time, the situation suddenly changed.

Imcrc, in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, suddenly held a press conference.

And the spokesperson of this press conference is Lu Zhou himself!

After the news was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the field of physics and even the whole academic field.

Professor Lu is going to hold a press conference!

Did he finally hear the people's voice and plan to stay?!

Although we know the possibility is remote, many people who are worried about the future of imcrc can't help but look forward to it.

Driven by this sentiment, on the day imcrc announced the date of the press conference, almost the world's slightly influential media gathered here in Shanghai until the beginning of the press conference.

Imcrc headquarters.

In hall one of the second floor.

Facing the camera full of the press conference, and looking forward to seeing this way, Lu zhouqing, who came to the podium, cleared his throat and spoke in a steady voice.

"I've noticed that the academic community has been paying close attention to the upcoming imcrc board meeting. There are a lot of discussions on the Internet and in private."

"From these voices, we hear a part of worry. In view of this prevailing sentiment, we have also had some internal discussions on it. "

"And as a result of the discussion, here I will announce an important thing."

The press conference was surprisingly quiet, with no sound at all.

However, although no extra sound can be heard, the land boat standing in front of the podium can clearly see and feel that the temperature brewing in that pair of sight lines has obviously increased by an order of magnitude, and those journalists who are ready to go hold their breath.

After a pause, he turned the page of his speech and said.

"According to the discussion results of imcrc Council closed meeting, imcrc will establish an independent body of" Advisory Committee "on the basis of the original council system."

"As the supervisory body of the Council, the Advisory Committee will not directly participate in the specific affairs of the imcrc, except for giving reference opinions when necessary."

"When and only when imcrc has a controversial issue or faces a serious crisis, the Advisory Committee can exercise its special rights, launch an emergency plan, and adopt a series of special procedures, including but not limited to one vote veto on the decision-making of the board of directors, the removal of directors and other personnel who violate the rules, the removal of directors, and the appointment of temporary directors."

"Any emergency plan will be discussed and voted at the emergency meeting, which can be implemented when the number of votes exceeds two thirds."

"All advisers will be automatically appointed by the outgoing president and will serve for life."

In response to the eyes of the whole audience, and the scenes, Lu Zhou announced in a calm and clear voice.

"After the completion of the Council meeting and the handover of the work of the president."

"I will be the first consultant of imcrc!"
