Yang Zhenning used to be a colleague with Einstein: I have been proud of this for a brief exchange
On September 22, the well-known physicist Yang Zhenning celebrated its 100th birthday. In 1957, at the age of 35, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Li Zhengdao for proposing the principle of non-conservation of parity in weak interaction.
The “Yang-Mills gauge field” theory he put forward is one of the most important achievements of physics in the 20th century. Some people even claim that its achievements surpass the famous scientist Hawking and not lose to Einstein. Of course, there are also sayings that it surpassed Einstein.
In 2000, “Nature” selected the greatest physicist of mankind in the past millennium. There are only more than 20 people on the list. Mr. Yang Zhenning was ranked 18th in this selection, and he was the only one alive in this list. Physicist.
According to a CCTV report, after graduating from the University of Chicago with a Ph.D., Yang Zhenning went to Princeton to do a postdoctoral fellow at the recommendation of Fermi and Taylor.
At the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Yang Zhenning became colleagues with Einstein, whom he had admired for a long time, and had a brief exchange with Einstein in statistical mechanics. Yang Zhenning has always been proud of this.
