Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Shanghai International Exhibition Center.

Two days after the end of the Centennial Physics Congress, the posters in the exhibition area had been withdrawn, but some IMCRC staff members, physicists who had not yet left, could still be seen on site.

And the reporter who came here to interview.

“This is Fox News, where we are now in front of the Shanghai International Exhibition Center, where physicists who are currently attending the Centennial Physics Summit have come to an end, but there are still some scholars who are reluctant to leave, let's interview them… Hello Sir,” found the nearest man who looks skinny and tall, looks like a few scholars, a journalist wandering outside the convention center handed out a microphone and said, "Hello, sir, are you an IMCRC staff member? ”

Pushing the glasses on the nose beam, Professor Pierce weighed the reporter up and down and said, “No, I'm a professor of high-energy physics from Oxford University… what is it? ”

Reporter: "What exactly happened here? Two days after the centennial physical convention, why are so many people still reluctant to leave? ”

“I had to stay in Shanghai for about two days because there were still some things that had not been done with the research institute at Stockholm University," Professor Pierce said as soon as the journalist looked at those who were not far away and understood what he wanted to know. "Of course, there were some people who stayed here because… it was hoped that Professor Lu would stay. ”

Reporter: "I heard that many people in the physics community were surprised by Professor Lu's resignation from the IMCRC position? ”

Professor Pierce: "Here's the thing. ”

Reporter: "In your opinion, how could this affect the IMCRC? ”

Professor Pierce thought for a while.

“It's hard to say… but a lot of people are gathered here because of him. And now he has chosen to leave… At least in my mind, the IMCRC has lost half, if not more, of its appeal. ”

“It must be said that this is a sad thing. ”

Professor Pierce's view is only a microcosm of the prevailing view in physics.

In fact, it's not just the Fox News story, but the vast majority of the media get answers when interviewing leading physics scholars, more or less, with some pessimistic views.

Almost everyone was surprised by the choice of the ark.

Only a handful of people think he did the right thing, and a handful of people think that his departure would have no effect on the process of physics.

Under the influence of this pessimism, the most stressful is undoubtedly the IMCRC Committee.

In addition to those annoying journalists, there was pressure from within academia that the IMCRC mailbox had been almost filled with emails from all sides in the past few days.

News of the withdrawal of the Ark from the IMCRC Council also captured the headlines of major newspapers at an incredible rate.

The BBC even did a documentary on what the physics community was doing with the perspectives of five physicists working in different fields, from the side, about the unified theory of strong electricity, the theory of void, the theory of hyperspace, and that $100 million reward, and how his departure would affect the physics community's journey forward.

As the discoverer of the Higgs particles, in an interview with a BBC reporter, the 100-year-old old old Higgs said after a moment of reflection.

“I don't like the future of the IMCRC. ”

“From its inception until now, the IMCRC has not been described as smooth. As far as I know, there have been at least two crises in the period that have been enough to disintegrate this international cooperative organization. ”

“However, the fact that the IMCRC was able to survive the crisis was not due to how solid its cooperative mechanisms were, nor to how deep its roots were, but merely to the fact that the ship united many people on its own academic prestige. As you can see, many North American research institutes had withdrawn from the IMCRC at that time, even representatives of the United States. But many North American scholars retained it as individuals, eventually completing the discovery of a series of physical phenomena, such as Z particles and high-dimensional particle motion patterns. ”

“Losing the IMCRC on the Ark is like losing a building with a heavy wall… Who do you think will replace the chairman? ”

Speaking of which, Grandpa Higgs laughed and made a joke to continue.

“Even if I were fifty years younger, I wouldn't be able to. ”

Professor Higgs has raised a number of concerns in the minds of some of the top physics scholars.

In fact, the vast majority of people want this international scientific organization to be able to operate for a long time.

However, this is merely a good wish and is not sufficient as a cornerstone for the continued prosperity of the IMCRC. Many are worried that once the ship leaves, no one will be able to take on the responsibility of the helmsman of physics and will have to watch the ship fall apart in dangerous waters.

Academia is a pessimistic voice.

Outside news is also generally less favourable to the future of the IMCRC, which lost its ark.

At this point, however, a slight turnaround suddenly occurred.

A press conference was suddenly held at the IMCRC in the centre of public opinion.

And the spokesperson for this press conference is the Ark itself!

Immediately after the release of the message, a huge sensation was triggered within the realm of physics and academia as a whole.

Professor Lu is holding a press conference!

Did he finally hear people's voices and plan to stay?!

Though the possibilities are remote, many who are worried about the future of the IMCRC cannot wait to do so.

Driven by this sentiment, on the day the IMCRC announced the date of the press conference, almost all the slightly more influential media around the world gathered here in Shanghai until the day the press conference began.

IMCRC headquarters.

In lobby number one of the secondary building.

Faced with the camera stuffed full of the press conference site, and the pair of eyes looking this way, the ark in front of the podium cleared its voice and said with a steady voice.

“I note the recent interest of academia in the forthcoming meeting of the Board of Governors of the IMCRC, and the fact that much of the discussion can be heard both online and privately. ”

“From these voices we hear some worrying emotions. In the light of this pervasive sentiment, there has also been some discussion within us. ”

“And as a result of the discussion, here I will announce an important matter. ”

The press conference was surprisingly quiet and there was no sound at all.

However, although no redundant sound could be heard, the ark standing in front of the podium was able to clearly see and feel that the temperature brewing in those two sights had risen significantly to an order of magnitude, and that journalist, who was waiting for his momentum, held his breath.

Paused for a moment, he turned the text in his hand over a page and said.

“As a result of the discussions held in closed session of the IMCRC Council, the IMCRC will establish, inter alia, an independent body, the 'Advisory Committee', building on the previous Council system. ”

“As the supervisory body of the Council, the Advisory Committee will not be directly involved in the specific affairs of the IMCRC, except with reference where necessary. ”

“When and only when the IMCRC has a controversial issue or is facing a serious crisis, the Advisory Board can exercise its special powers to initiate urgent planning through a series of special procedures, including, but not limited to, a veto on Council decisions, the removal of non-compliant members and others, the dismissal of the President, the appointment of the Interim President, etc. ”

“Any emergency plan will be discussed and voted upon at the emergency session and will be implemented when the number of votes exceeds two thirds. ”

“All advisers will be automatically appointed by the outgoing President and will serve for life. ”

Responding to the eyes the whole field was looking forward to, and that lens, the ark announced with a steady and clear voice.

“Until the Council has concluded its session and the handover of the work of its President has been completed. ”

“I will be the first advisor to the IMCRC! ”
