Give me a fulcrum and I will pry the earth.

Two major original achievements have been newly released in the scientific community, and various platforms have been on the hot search.
On the afternoon of January 13, the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Systems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences released two major scientific research progress. The first of these, Academician Wang Zhonglin has expanded maxwell's equations, which have huge potential applications in radar, antennas, aviation, aerospace and military fields that require wireless communication.
The electrodynamics of this slag is poor, but the academic status of Maxwell's equations is known. The equations of electrodynamics were created by Maxwell. This equation unifies electricity and magnetism, and the changing electric field produces a magnetic field, and the changing magnetic field produces an electric field. This equation is recognized as the greatest equation in the world, note, not one, that it transcends Einstein's equation of mass-energy, Newton's second law formula. With this equation, in the physics world, Maxwellto can enter the top 5 places in the Hall of Fame, basically after Newton and Einstein.
This equation is also the cornerstone of our modern world, and our various intelligent technologies can be explained and explained by this equation as long as they involve electricity or magnetism. The greatness of great people can be expressed in a very simple formula for such a complex world as ours.
The current form of this equation was established in 1884, and it has been 138 years since then. In the scientific community over the years, how many geniuses have emerged. At that time, Einstein was very interested in Maxwell's electromagnetic theory in middle school, and many of Einstein's work was directly related to electromagnetic theory, such as the principle of invariance of the speed of light and so on. Surprisingly, these geniuses have not expanded?
I looked at the white smoke blown outside by the wind parallel to the ground and muttered: Is it going to change the sky? China's Panor award has been looking forward to for a long time, is this a Nobel Prize-level achievement?
I looked at it, the major media, such as the "surging "Beijing Daily", and even CCTV news have reported, it seems that the level of this achievement is very high.

My heart that loves gossip can't be contained, but the scum of this school does not understand ah, the knowledge of Maxwell's equations is basically returned to the teacher, these degrees of rotation, dispersion, fork multiplication, point multiplication are forgotten. Hey hey, there is no way out, fortunately, the students and students are all bully, and many acquaintances are university physics teachers, so I went to ask for a lesson.
After their popular science, I probably understood what it meant. First of all, our common Maxwell equation is described in a stationary medium, and Academician Wang Zhonglin introduced the component of the moving medium in this equation. With the introduction of moving media, the equations of nature are expanded.
Wait, Maxwell's equations have been around for 138 years now, haven't scientists done anything like this?
Congratulations, the answer is correct. This kind of thing has been done many times. My apprentice (by the way, my apprentice's signature: Learning is brilliant, this signature is touching) provides an example of the very famous physicist Lang Dao of the former Soviet Union, who was also a great genius who wrote a book called "Electrodynamics in Continuums", which mentions the extended form of Maxwell's equations in moving media. Of course, Academician Wang's form is different from others. Therefore, some people ridiculed Academician Wang for doing an exercise in the book of Lang Dao.
However, a professor reminded me that the difficulty of the exercises is different. I remember a mathematician doing a famous problem as an exercise and doing it. The difficulty of Academician Wang's exercises has obviously not reached this point. However, if this is the first time he has come up with this form, it can also be said to be his achievement.
I believe that people who work on materials take it for granted. You know, graphene plus a little bird, such an article can be sent ACS Nano, impact factor 13 of the heavyweight publication. In comparison, Academician Wang's work is still much more serious and serious than adding bird, and compared to it, it is indeed a major breakthrough.
However, some people say that this matter was not initiated by Academician Wang, some people have already done it, and some people have said that the name of the person has been given, and even the title and catalog of the book have been sent out. The level of this scum is limited, and I am not ready to do research on evidence, so I will leave this matter to people who know how to do it.

Finally, a few comments. Academician Wang Zhonglin is a great scientist, and my understanding of nano is really from Academician Wang Zhonglin. The papers he wrote are said to have been cited to reach 260,000. This is a grandmaster-level figure. Therefore, when I saw Academician Wang announce a breakthrough in a high-profile major achievement, the first thing that came to my mind was the Nobel Prize-level achievement. Because at this level, ordinary results should be inconspicuous. Unlike my low-level small self-media, one day the article was washed by an official media, scolding on the mouth, and the heart was still a little cool, indicating that the article was looked at. At the level of Academician Wang, Nature, Science, cell several articles in a year is not nothing, even if several articles a month is only a happy one, absolutely will not develop a press conference to solemnly announce.
Of course, grandmaster-level figures are sometimes unreliable (confused). For example, Nobel laureate Luc Montagny, who is also a distinguished professor at many of our universities, is a well-known figure in the dissemination of pseudoscience. In addition, Chinese academicians talk about quantum Buddhism, and talk about tons of dark matter passing through the human body. Of course, they are unreliable, probably like Wang Feng's lyrics:
I want to blossom into life
It's like flying in the vast sky
It's like walking through the boundless wilderness
Have the power to break free
——Wang Feng, "Blossoming Life"
This spirit I understand, scientists, boldness is also an important trait. However, this is very unfriendly to friends in the media. Scientists talk about things that are so profound that ordinary people can't understand them. I guess the media friends can not understand, can only out of the trust in scientists, the media friends will be black eyes sent out, in order not to miss the big news, so all the media follow the trend. Ha ha.
I can understand the above, but for the entire scientific community, I think there should be self-cleaning functions. Some people are confused, there are more people who are not confused, and according to the reason, someone should stand up and explain it a little. Especially the Academy of Sciences, this time Academician Wang's news uses the head of the Academy of Sciences, should the Academy of Sciences have the obligation to make an explanation with the public?
Ah, poor us ordinary people, how many times will major breakthroughs in science be reported? How far away are the Nobel Prizes?
How many times have you been ecstatic but suffered a lot of pain, how many times have you been happy but your heart is like a knife. How many times have we been brilliant but lost, and who knows where we should dream...
