Chapter 182: She’s only 24!_1 Chapter 182: She’s only 24!_1 Having hung up the phone, Lucy Wood was still sowhat dazed.
“She’s only 24, she’s only 24…”
Normal people at her age are still struggling in school, yet Ellen Young, so young, had already retired from a professor-level position at Hadton and had won the most prestigious Mathematics Prize twice.
Lucy Wood rembered that even her own teachers used to say getting an academic thesis published in a journal under Edgar was a great honor and an opportunity to make a na for oneself in the entire mathematics community, let alone such a pure professional Mathematics Prize.
The recipients were absolute authorities, a super genius wanted by every country.
No matter the age, they were top-tier personalities.
Now, her younger sister had won the Edgar Mathematics Prize.
An award almost legendary in the minds of their students.
Felicia Frost bowed her head, scrolling through Twitter, trying to dig up more information, searching through forums and web pages for news, before she stumbled upon a piece of old news from the past few years and gasped.
While Lucy Wood was still in a daze, noticing that there had been no movent beside her for a long ti, she imdiately ca to her senses, “Felicia, do you think our family’s ancestral tomb is emitting green smoke?”
“We’ve already discussed this topic, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
Felicia Frost looked seriously at Lucy Wood, “I just ca across another science-popularizing tweet and although it seems unbelievable, I think there’s about a ninety-percent chance it’s credible. Guess what it is?”
Lucy Wood, now anticipating, twitched, “Does it have sothing to do with Ellen?”
Felicia Frost turned the tablet around, revealing an old ssage.
[Our country’s scientist wins the Milton Prize in Physics].
The Milton Prize in Physics is considered the top award with the highest value in the world today.
Winning any project in this award signifies that the individual is a world-class representative in their field.
It’s a heavyweight award that even people unfamiliar with the scientific world know about, held only once every three years. Several scientists from Sina had received it, but this most recent ti, it had not been announced who the winner was.
When the news first broke, it caused quite a stir; the key point was that the news Felicia Frost found had the last na of the scientist written underneath.
Last na Young.
It did not specify whether it was a male or female, it was old news from several years ago, and for a platform like Twitter, which is mostly about entertainnt industry information, it was considered past news.
Thus, it did not draw much attention.
Everyone just felt vicariously honored; the scientist was soone too far removed, and irrelevant to their lives, so they did not pay attention.
Felicia Frost simply asked Lucy Wood, “Guess who this scientist with the last na Young is?”
Lucy Wood: “…”
Her fingers were trembling, her heart was racing, “Is it the world that has gone mad, or are we just too foolish?”
“What else is there to say, we are definitely too foolish.”
For once, Felicia Frost swore, “If I knew your sister was such a big shot, I wouldn’t dare be presumptuous in front of her, no matter what. Back then I actually thought she was as heartless as the Wood Family, not even bothering to check on you. Now thinking about it, if I had that high an IQ I also wouldn’t want a bunch of IQ-dragging relatives.”
Lucy Wood: “…”
Felicia Frost: “I think that during the ti she spent with you, she might have been constantly wondering just how foolish we all are.”
Lucy Wood: “…”
Felicia Frost also felt like it was almost dream-like, “24 ah! 24 ah, damn!”
