On October 8, physicist James Pierbus, who just won the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, attended a press conference in New Jersey, USA.
Since 1901, each Nobel Prize has established a five-person committee to review the nominations of thousands of people from all over the world every year. The Nobel Committee then transferred the responsibility for selecting the winners to the various institutions mentioned in the Nobel Will: the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Karolinska School of Medicine, the Swedish Academy and the Norwegian Parliament. This highly independent, international and private award model was established. It is precisely because the list of Nobel Prize nominations will be kept confidential for 50 years that those who conduct the selection will have the courage to write down their true thoughts about each nominee. What was originally inspired by the famous inventor, rich man and world celebrity Alfred Nobel 's idea of establishing the Nobel Prize, and people have no way to check it. It is possible that he was inspired by the rewards from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Perhaps it was a mistake in the French media in 1888 that made Nobel read his obituary in advance and was deeply stimulated to see French newspapers calling himself a "dead merchant."
But more than a hundred years later, people were surprised to find that because of the slightly stereotyped persistence of the Nobel Committee, the Nobel Prize still today, like when it was first released, with a unique temperament from the early 20th century, making people not know how to understand it in the midst of admiration and controversy.
It is indeed difficult for us to give the Nobel Prize a definite definition.
Many people may have spent their childhood, youth and even youth in their unrealistic imagination of the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize means an excellence that can be seen in all mountains - this is obviously inconsistent with the original intention of Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize prize is equivalent to the 20-year salary of a professor at that time. At that time, Nobel hoped that this prize would allow a scientist to concentrate on research without worrying about money, but the "Nobel Prize winner" has long become a lifelong job and a symbol of identity. Winning the Nobel Prize is equivalent to obtaining a pass to enter the Temple of Science or the Temple of Literature. In comparison, the generous Nobel Prize has become insignificant.
A will that was faithfully executed, a rare award, has been throughout the 20th century of mankind, and in the 21st century it still attracts the attention of the whole world in the controversy. As a product of a will, the Nobel Prize combines stubbornness and innate internationalization, becoming a unique yardstick for measuring the progress of human science, literature and social activities from the beginning of the 20th century.
Nobel Prize is a complex system, and to some extent, an inseparable whole. After experiencing the "scandal" of the 2018 Literature Awards, how will the Nobel Prize respond in 2019? Which scientists have entered this palace list and become the people who influence the world? In order to have a more real feeling, just like the previous year, I rushed to Stockholm to observe and interview at the Nobel Prize release site. In this report, there are interpretations of each Nobel Prize award, and there are also exclusive interviews with members of the Nobel Prize Committee and members of the Nobel Foundation at the release site. With the help of the Nobel Prize, we review the development of mankind over the past hundred years and look forward to the future of mankind.
