Let’s worship with you today
Scientists in various fields of mess
High energy ahead
All are like gods
Please go around if you can’t stand it!
Fifth place
Hedy Lamarr
Academic index: 87
Indices of not doing the right thing: 85
First of all, the goddess of many wild scientists, allow me to drink water first.
The picture above is a technology patented by Hedy Lamarr in 1941, which is said to be inspired by musical notes. One of the radio frequency hopping technologies that became the basis for today’s CDMA and WiFi. That’s why people affectionately refer to Lamar as: “the mother of CDMA” and “the mother of WiFi”.
Sounds a bit pompous ……
But who asked this girl, a communications major, not only to write poetry, mathematics and ballet, but also to have the courage to look like this.
In 1932, at the age of 18, Rama appeared in the movie Ecstacy, becoming the first star in human history to appear nude.
However, the sexism of the world is not worthy of this goddess. Sexiness brought her not praise, but denigration. Not only was she called a vase in the film industry, but her patented technology was not taken seriously and was sealed by the U.S. military. Despite the fact that her six husbands were ashamed of themselves, and despite the fact that her 680 kisses raised $17 million for the Nazi resistance, everything inevitably went to vulgarity.
In 2014, on the centenary of her birth, Hedy Lamarr was finally inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame.
She left the world with a taunt that still applies today.
All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
Fourth place
Niels Bohr
Academic index: 88
Unprofessionalism Index: 85
Soccer is a sport that has been producing talent since the beginning of time.
For example, Mr. Weah, the world footballer twenty years ago, will probably be elected as the president of Liberia next year.
The World Cup winner Lizarazu, for example, has gone on to win a European jiu-jitsu title.
Arsenal midfielder Flamini, for example, and his best friend co-founded the chemical company GF (the name is a bit strange …… is said to be a symbol of their union), more than 400 employees, the market valuation of 20 billion pounds (valuation agency: The Sun ……) The company is also known as the “entrepreneurial back”.
For example, Camus, the goalkeeper of the Algerian Athletic University team, retired with hatred due to lung disease, so he had to focus on words and created a “philosophy of the absurd”, which won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.
For example, AC Milan’s Carazzi, in his capacity as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy of Georgia, just met with Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao.
For example, the former international footballer Li Yi, who after retiring from football, turned into a “Bengbu Gyration” and ruled the Internet in China.
For example, Mr. Gao Zizi, the footballer of the Northern Song Dynasty, became the commander-in-chief of the capital military district.
Another, identified by all parties involved as “the best soccer goalkeeper in Changsha”, retired from the game and made a big deal, and his picture can still be seen on the Tiananmen Square ……
So, is there a player who can become a scientist?
The famous patriotic young man Qian Weichang, obsessed with Chinese culture since childhood, resulting in only 5 points in physics (percentage system), 20 points in mathematics and chemistry combined, and 0 points in English directly …… Fortunately, literature and history showed a superhuman talent and was admitted to Tsinghua by breakthrough.
Not long after, the September 18 incident broke out, history student Xiao Qian out of anger! He decided to make a plane cannon, strong my China! So the young man, who only scored 5 in physics, began to go to the physics department every day to dawdle in classes. Later his identity in the history books: the father of Chinese mechanics.
Tell so much is only to illustrate: mankind simply can not stop Qian Weichang!
Despite the fact that he was neither great nor long, with a height of only 1 meter 49, and Guo Xiaosi was recorded as “the first student in the history of Tsinghua who did not meet the height standard”, but Xiao Qian practiced three volts in summer and three nines in winter, and won the third place in the national university hurdles with a performance of 13 seconds 4 after only two years of enrollment!
Subsequently, always want to fight for the glory of the country Qian Weichang hard practice left winger technology, finally selected for the Chinese national soccer team, went to the Philippines to participate in the Far East Games, and showed not bad mechanical heritage, through the opposing goalkeeper’s goal scored a goal!
Alas, think back to the year of the national football, casually can abuse the small Japanese four or five, in the Far East Games is to achieve nine consecutive titles, which know now ……
You tell me, like Qian Weichang such a species, why can not be a fierce mess ah?
In order to calm Qian Weichang in soccer and academics at the same time, we have to ask the Bohr brothers from Denmark.
At the beginning of the last century, the dominant club in Danish football was AB. The main force of the club was a pair of brothers, the brother Niels Bohr was a goalkeeper and the brother Hanad Bohr was a striker.
In the 1908 London Olympics, the younger brother won the silver medal in soccer for Denmark; the older brother had to stand in and watch from the sidelines. It is said that the brother’s main problem was his lack of concentration on the pitch. There are wild accounts of a game against Tveda in which the Germans shot from outside the area while Niels Bohr was actually leaning against the goalpost thinking about a math problem!
After hanging up his boots, his younger brother, Harnad, became a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University and established the main foundation for the study of periodic functions, while his older brother, Niels Bohr, started the Copenhagen School and became a superstar in the history of science, a superstar in the same league as Albert Einstein.
For his great contributions to quantum mechanics, he won the Nobel Prize in 1922, finally finishing off his brother’s Olympic silver medal. It is said that the headline commonly used in Danish newspapers at that time was: “Famous soccer player Niels Bohr awarded the Nobel Prize”.
Third place
Simons James Simons
Academic index: 90
Unprofessional index: 90
Simons is a mathematical genius, graduated from MIT mathematics department at 20, got his PhD at UC Berkeley at 23, went to Harvard to teach at 24, and was invited to Princeton by the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) at 26, ostensibly to conduct research, but in fact to crack codes for the military. Then he left because of his opposition to the Vietnam War, and became the Dean of the School of Mathematics at Stony Brook at the age of 30 ……
(PS: Alas, I no longer want to continue to write. So, the most important thing is to be happy, do not compare! (The road can be the road, very road; people than people, angry.
In 1998, when Simons was 60 years old, a poster of Simons’ early life was displayed at a conference at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
At the age of 37, Simons won the Nobel Prize in geometry: the Oswald Veblen Prize.
Feeling that he had almost reached the end of his career, it was time to start a new life in a different industry.
So Simmons set up a hedge fund called Renaissance Tech. The name suggests that this is to challenge the Renaissance group of generalists across the border. Unfortunately, he succeeded again.
Simmons’ status in the fund world is akin to that of Wu-Tang Clan Zhang Sanfeng, who started a new genre of investing outside of Wall Street. Let’s put it this way, there are now three fund styles called: Warren Buffett, Soros, and Simmons.
To commemorate the year of the Veblen Prize, Simmons named his flagship product “Medallion Fund” (Medallion Fund).
This fund is like a money printing machine, for more than twenty years has been making money, the average annual return is about twice as much as Warren Buffett. General fund fees in accordance with the “double two standard”, management fee of 2%, 20% share; but Simmons money arbitrary, must be 5% management fee, share 36%.
Even so, the grand prize chapter was still crazy rush, and finally had to stop offering to the public, only accept their own money.
In 2008, the financial crisis broke out, the fund industry was in dire straits, but the Grand Chapter still made a profit of 80%, and Simmons personal income of $ 2.5 billion. The U.S. Congress convened a crisis hearing, and the first person notified was he was required to swear in court that he had not messed up.
As the picture shows, the old man with the red tie. To his right is the more familiar George Soros, and to his left are John Paulson and Philip Falcone – both of whose funds have since hung up.
Only Simons steadily earned his way into retirement and pretended afterwards to the effect that I was gone and the fund was still there making money, which made me feel unimportant and a bit lost ……
Dr. Simons and his wife, Marilyn, an economist and president of their foundation
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Simons has a connection to China. He has two good friends who shine in the mathematics and physics worlds, one is Chen Shangsheng and the other is Yang Zhenning.
Simons’ greatest achievement in his life was not earning billions of dollars a year, but working with Chen to develop the “Chen-Simons Theorem”, which later became the fundamental theory of differential topology.
At the same time that Simons went to Stony Brook to take the helm of mathematics, Yang also happened to go to Stony Brook to take the helm of physics. At that time, Yang had already won the Nobel Prize for “cosmic non-conservation” and was trying to build a more powerful canonical field theory, but was having trouble with mathematical details such as fiber clumps.
Simons introduced and Lequn helped him to clear the mathematical hurdles, and thus to establish the “Yang-Mills theory”, the basis of modern physics. This was a result of relativistic magnitude, and a Nobel Prize was no longer enough to recognize its greatness. So we see that today the physics institute of Stony Brook is called “Yang Institute of Theoretical Physics”, and the geometry institute is called “Simons Center for Geometric Physics”.
Because Chen Shangsheng came from the mathematics department of Tsinghua and Yang Zhenning came from the physics department of Tsinghua, Simmons came to donate a building as a Forbes tycoon on the occasion of Tsinghua’s centennial celebration. Interestingly, the building was named after Chen Shiansheng, and then Yang Zhenning lived in it.
Before he donated the building, Simmons was not well known in China, not even a Baidu entry.
If you search for “Simmons”, Baidu will warmly suggest: Are you looking for Simmons? Then you will see various mattress brand recommendations ……
Nowadays, Simmons has become the backstabber of the Chinese stock market crash. Any private equity fund that can add, subtract, multiply and divide claims to be the “Simmons of China” and is using mathematical models to make quantitative investments. After last year’s crash, some of them were liquidated and some had their accounts closed by the Securities Regulatory Commission. The only thing similar to Simmons is that they got a good amount of management fees.
Second place
Franklin Benjamin Franklin
Academic index: 93
Unprofessional index: 93
The only thing that is similar to Simmons is that Franklin is not a stranger to the world, and those who have received nine years of compulsory education know it – not only know it, but should also know several people at the same time, such as: Franklin the scientist who ran out to fly a kite on the night of lightning, Franklin the writer who wrote the secondary school text “Whistle”, Franklin the politician who led the American War of Independence The writer who wrote the middle school text “Whistle”, the statesman who led the American Revolution, and so on and so forth.
However, what you may not know is that all of the above are the same person.
As a financier, this man is also featured on the largest denomination of U.S. currency: the French economist Turgot is full of poetry.
The French economist Turgot poetically remarked.
“He obtained thunder and lightning first from the heavens, then civil rights from tyrants.”
As a scientist, he invented bifocal glasses, invented the frog shoe, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Without the lightning rod he invented, would you still be able to pretend to be in the know?
As a politician, he participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, and is known as the “Father of the Nation”.
As an educator, he founded the University of Pennsylvania and the Franklin D. Marshall University named after him.
Indeed, this Franklin was a successful printer, publisher, scientist, inventor, diplomat, civic leader, politician and philosopher. Too many titles to add to the list! He was also a member of the Continental Congress and, in addition to signing the Declaration of Independence, signing the U.S. Constitution and the Treaty of Paris, Benjamin started the first libraries, hospitals, fire departments and insurance companies in the city of Philadelphia, and as a scientist was one of the prominent figures in the American Enlightenment for his findings and theories about the construction of electricity. His many inventions were the lightning rod, the bifocals, the Franklin stove, and the odometer for a horse-drawn carriage.
Yet the epitaph on this guy, who had an open life, reads: Franklin the printer.
Can’t forget the experience of being too poor to go to school as a child and having to work as a printer’s apprentice for nearly a decade ……
I think this forced to pretend than Simmons do not know where to go.
Lightning rod, are broken.
The first place
Simon Herbert Simon
Academic index: 95
Not doing his job index: 95
On the surface, Simons is the plural form of Simon.
However, the fields Simon has messed around with are the true plural forms compared to Simons.
In 1975, Simon received the Turing Award, the highest honor in the field of computing. This was more in line with what his father had expected of him; after all, his dad was an electrical engineering expert in Germany. Yet as an American pianist, his mother always wanted to imbue him with an artistic flair.
With this combined effect, Simon enrolled in the University of Chicago …… political science department. He later taught at Carnegie Mellon University as a professor of psychology …… and received the American Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology.
The Turing Award would be understandable if silicon-based organisms also had mental activities. But why did he then win the 1978 Nobel Prize in Economics for his research on organizational economics?
Simon has not been idle all his life. He has received a total of nine Ph.
D. in political science from the University of Chicago (1943).
Doctor of Science from Case School of Engineering (1963).
Doctor of Science from Yale University (1963).
J.D. from Yale University (1963).
Ph.D., Lund University, Sweden (1968).
J.D., McGill University (1970).
Ph.D. in Economics, Erasmus University, Rotterdam (1973).
J.D., University of Michigan (1978).
J.D., University of Pittsburgh (1979) ……
His greatest achievement, however, came from Carnegie Mellon University, where he did not have a degree. There, Simon founded the Graduate School of Industrial Management, which established a body of research in two academic areas, organizational behavior and management science, proving that a J.D. without artificial intelligence is not a good psychologist.
This brings me to the author of GEB – Shida Hou. The son of a Nobel Prize winner in physics, Shida Hou has a B.S. in mathematics from Stanford University, a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Oregon, a professor of computer science at Indiana University, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan ……, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In GEB he tries to prove that the kernel of Gödel’s mathematics, Escher’s prints, and Bach’s piano music …… is actually the same. For this book’s research in logic, linguistics, artificial intelligence, biogenetics, music, art, and Zen, he eventually won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature ……
There is a curious book in computer science, whose author is an unmissable figure in the field of artificial intelligence; the book is called “Gödel, Escher, Bach: The Greatest Collection of Differences”, and this person is Hou Shida.
At the end
So, my dear friends: a momentary disappointment, or a professional mismatch, is nothing. Cowboys can shine everywhere, and losers do everything the same.
