Zhao Yi’s post on Weibo imdiately sparked a heated debate among the public. In a short amount of ti, there were more than one hundred thousand comnts under the Weibo post, and the number of shares rapidly exceeded ten thousand.
Many dia accounts also shared the post and so dia outlets simply put out news articles based on the content Zhao Yi published, analyzing it in a series.
Every sentence of the Weibo post was ticulously interpreted—
"It is because scientists push forward human technology that they are great, not because they win so world-class award. Awards are just an embellishnt to scientific research, not the pursuit of it."
"This statent suggests that any award should not stand above scientists. Scientists do not conduct research to win awards; their research advances the progress of human technology. Awards are rely a recognition of their contributions."
"’The job of a scientist is to break convention,’ is a direct reply to the Nobel prize committee. Scientists work to break the mold, yet the Nobel Prize, as a scientific award, refused to grant Zhao Yi the Nobel Prize in Physics based on the ’historical precedent that no one has ever won a Nobel Prize in two fields at the sa ti’."
"That is the biggest joke of all."
"Zhao Yi said he will henceforth refuse any scientific awards, obviously including the Nobel Prize in dicine."
Such analysis when published provoked an even greater debate.
Who can refuse the Nobel Prize?
The influence of the Nobel Prize is so vast that even very well-known individuals would shalessly yearn for a Peace Prize.
The Peace Prize is considered the least important and the most unfair of the Nobel Prizes because it is influenced by too many external factors.
Conversely,
The Nobel Prize in dicine is one of the Nobel Prizes with the highest value, even seen as the most valuable and most aningful for human life developnt, because candidates for the Nobel Prize in dicine must make significant contributions in the field of dical research.
This significant contribution must also benefit human life, and in so cases, it has already saved millions of people, in order to be nominated for the prize.
Therefore, most Nobel Prize in dicine laureates are recognized for research outcos from ten, twenty years ago, or even longer.
The standards for the Nobel Prize in Physics are different.
The Nobel Prize in Physics rewards scientists for significant contributions to physics, but many of the honored discoveries in physics are sowhat detached from the developnt of Earth itself.
For example, the discovery of neutrinos.
The discovery of new particles advances mankind’s understanding of the universe, enabling major progress in the study of micro-particles.
However, what does this have to do with real life?
No matter how many new particles are discovered, and how much more we understand about the universe, it doesn’t relate to ordinary people unless the technology supported by particle research can quickly beco widespread in human life. Otherwise, the benefits may have to wait for hundreds of years, or even longer.
In short, the Nobel Prize in dicine’s value is extrely high.
Now Zhao Yi has directly refused the Nobel Prize in dicine, and it can even be confird that he would refuse the Nobel Prize in Physics or any other prizes, which is quite shocking to people.
But after the shock wears off, most people think it’s quite normal.
Does Zhao Yi need an award for embellishnt?
So people gain worldwide fa because of the Nobel Prize, from being virtually unknown before to becoming household nas after winning, which changes their lives significantly with fa and fortune.
Zhao Yi already had fa; he is the most famous scientist in the world, with top achievents in many fields.
He already has the fa, and it’s hard for it to get any higher.
He doesn’t lack money either.
Zhao Yi is already one of the wealthiest people in the world, and his personal wealth and assets are still rapidly increasing.
So organizations predict that within ten years, Zhao Yi’s assets and wealth will climb into the top ten in the world, and he might even beco the world’s richest man in his lifeti.
Thus, for him, the Nobel Prize is basically dispensable.
What’s laughable is that the Nobel committee, which could have awarded Zhao Yi the Nobel Prize in Physics, decided to delay the award for a ridiculous reason.
Now they have lost the opportunity to award it to him.
——
The public opinion erupted over Zhao Yi’s refusal of the science awards.
The dostic response was very enthusiastic.
Many people felt uplifted by Zhao Yi’s action, mainly because the Nobel is a foreign award. Despite its renowned fa, there have historically only been two winners from our country.
Although the Nobel committee has always stressed that their selection is fair and impartial, due to the small number of dostic winners, there has always been a sense that there is discrimination against dostic academics.
Whether the Nobel selection was fair in the past is debatable.
Now it is definitely unfair.
Talking about fairness when even Zhao Yi can’t get the Nobel Prize in Physics is a joke.
Now the Nobel Prize lacks the participation of the scientist with the greatest contribution, and its influence will undoubtedly be affected.
International public opinion is also fernting rapidly, and like the dostic opinions, discussions about the fairness of the awards are common abroad.
The whole world knows that Zhao Yi would definitely have received the Nobel Prize in Physics because he made public the anti-gravity theory and technology, paving a new direction for the developnt of physics.
