Title: Yang Zhenning: Computer covers human collective wisdom
Sending station: Wuhan Baiyun Huanghe Station (November 22, 2004 11:25 Monday)
"Mr. Yang is a world-class scientist master, and there are more Chinese youths in the field of science and technology in half a century. He is me.
Scientific idol in the student era. "On November 9, Tsinghua University Comprehensive Stadium, in front of thousands of students, Microsoft Asia
The Dean of the Institute sink Yang Yang, when Mr. Yang Zhenning, like a young college student, is happy again.
On this day, the reporter interviewed Yang Zhenning - the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner and learned Mr. Yang
Many interesting stories between computers:
● Yang Zhenning is one of the Chinese people who use a computer;
● When using a computer for the first time, it is wrong to experience a unforgettable experience;
● Mr. Yang's own evaluation: If there is no computer, my most important results are still doing;
● Wonderful summary: The computer covers the collective wisdom of humanity and spans time and space.
Talk about the origin of modern computers
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Yang Zhenning was in a dark suit and a steady land. After the storm, the venue has become rapidly
Unusually quiet.
In the face of thousands of students from Chinese Academy, Peking University, Tsinghua and other colleges, Mr. Yang's opening is peaceful. He uses slightly
One sentence in Mandarin, the monk of Anhui, said to everyone: "Today's big topic is the calculation of the 21st century, this is a
Very important topic is to affect the topic of each of our daily lives and work. "
Subsequently, he apologically, because a lot of citation is English, so he must use English to carry out this speech.
. Mr. Yang speech the theme of "Modern Computer". As a master of a basic discipline, this is this today.
In the social atmosphere of the impetuous, choose such a topic, Mr. Yang has his own ideas. He accepts an interview after meeting
The reporter said: "We can't underestimate the foundation, can't make all the basic research into the glory of today's computer field.
Cancel or forget. "
Mr. Yang, talked about it, and the emergence of modern computers requires a support of scientific and technological development across centuries.
In this course, the maximum driving force of the computer is three directions, namely electromagnetic, quantum mechanics, and semiconductance.
Sports department.
In order to better express your own ideas, Mr. Yang deliberately produced a slide. This is a dark blue background color, printing
The slide of the text, the text is extremely simple.
The first slide took everyone to the British in the middle of the 17th century, Newton made people realize that "nature is determined.
", Thus replacing obscurant with science.
On the same land, after more than 100 years of Newton, Farah is currently displayed in electromagnetic induction, Maxwell and Herz
Developed electromagnetics. Mr. Yang made a hypothesis: if there is no law of electromagnetic induction and the grasp of electromagnetic performance
How many complicated circuits can be wired in prototype computers? From the perspective of science and technology, electromagnetic theory is obviously
The front of the computer inventions.
In the early 20th century, Mr. Yang's tone became excited, because it was the most familiar, the deepest physics
Learn the revolutionary era. In this era, Planck discovered quantum, Einstein published relativism and light speed constraint theory.
Plus Schringer, Heisenberg, Dirac, especially Boer, etc., quantum mechanics is very fast.
Appeared. Here, Mr. Yang repeatedly referred to Heisenberg's speech to depict the "night" of this computer. right now,
We have seen it clearly that quantum mechanics act as a basic discipline to the development of disciplines.
Time entered the 1940s, history of passion collisions here. Yang Zhenning began to recall the first time they read
In the history of the famous enlightenment literature "101 Report", this paper was published by the computer pioneer Von Neuman, Goldstan, and Blowkes, published in June 1945, and Yang Zhenning arrived in the United States. Time is November of the same year. 1
In 1994, the first computer ENIAC was born in the University of Pennsylvania, and Yang Zhenning specially mentioned: "At the time
I am doing there. "
Through long history, Mr. Yang took everyone to enter the golden age of computer development, telling the story. Young
The nouns of the arts such as semiconductors, molar laws, etc. are beginning to frequently.
Talking about the semiconductor technology that later replaced electronic pipes and successfully promoted computer development, Mr. Yang said: "In 1931
We don't know what to do about semiconductors. In 1947 to 1948, it produced a semiconductor.
This is an important progress in human history in human history. "
Finally, Mr. Yang also describes the impact of Moore's law on the world. He modestly said that these latest results are very small.
It is mainly his friend tells him. He concluded: "The computer completely changed the history of humanity. This is
Features, it is increasingly relying on complex science and technology achievements, these achievements are mainly from some leaders to create
Always, and participate in people to participate, this is the characteristics of the recent great event.
The backtrack of "origin" is from Mr. Yang himself. He has experienced the enlightenment era of quantum mechanics, in the computer
In the era of inventions, he is active in the US scientific community and is the earliest private user. I have experienced 60 years of wind and rain
After that, he tried to combine a historical context of a computer development from the macro perspective of the scientific history. Just this kind of
Think far, look deeper.
Yang Zhenning and computer story
After the meeting, the "Computer News" reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Yang Zhenning. The reporter noted that Mr. Yang's speed is very slow, listening
The force is not very good. But the answer to each question is very organized and rigorous. When speaking, he always looked mildly.
Interviewers, the expression is full of interesting stories, humanistic thinking, and warm memories.
He told reporters that his academic research and life, and the computer has a half century. Although I have been in recent years
Not too much when the computer is operated, but it is often exchanged with computer experts at home and abroad to communicate some of the latest technologies.
Come to constantly update your understanding and understanding of this area.
Few people know that Yang Zhenning is one of the earliest Chinese people in the world. And operation is human history
The first real-in-style storage program computer-is called "computer in real sense" is IBM in December 1952
The IBM 701 developed.
With a nostalgia, Yang Zhenning recalled this extremely precious history for the "computer newspaper" reporter: 19
In 54 years, Yang Zhenning made his most outstanding contribution in particle physics - Yang Zi, who was brought by Mustars
- Marsh field theory. In the study, Yang Zhenning needs to work in some main shipping calculations. So, "I found
The IBM at the time. At that time, IBM had only one 701 computer, which can be said to be the largest computers in modern times.
One floor. Although the computing ability is not as good as today, it is very important. "
From the US map, you can also see that the first computer of Pennsylvania, Yang Zhenning worked in the Pulin
New Jersey and IBM headquarters in Stun University are close together. In order to calculate
As a result, Yang Zhenning has frequently running many times in two places.
Mr. Yang smiled and said to the reporter that the experience of using a computer for the first time made him unforgettable. "At that time, I want to be in the computer."
Do a calculation, I only have yourself to write this program. This program is written in 2000, and my computers can
It is wrong to say that it is wrong. Therefore, I spent 2 days of time writing this 2000 line program, but I used it for 2 weeks to find it.
mistake. Because I spent too much time, I felt that the computer seems to have some use of me. "Just a year in Yang Zhenning, IBM launched Fortune language, this made Yang Mr."
Repent ", because" I used the Machine Language. I should think of Machine a year ago.
Language is changed to Fortune. If I did it, this is a very great creation. "This matter gives Yang Zhen
Ning's impression is extremely profound, so that after nearly half of the century, he will also take out and repeatedly warn young scholars: "No
Tube is physics, mathematics, or now software, there is a point in innovation. "It's hard to imagine, if that
When Yang Zhenning invented the Fortune language, it would not affect his future scientific career. But this also tells us that there is
In the era of computer, all languages and operations are also very primitive, masterpiece mathematics and physics
More than others have a better understanding of your computer.
The reporter proposed a question: "If you have the most strong era of creativity, the development of the computer has reached today's water.
Will you have an impact on the process of the Nobel Prize? "
Mr. Yang said this replied: "It can be said that until today, the research work I do is related to the computer. Not
After that, if you didn't develop a computer, I think my most important work will still be done. But this is just me.
Human experience. "
Computer collection of human collective wisdom in time and space
After returning to Tsinghua Mission, Yang Zhenning wrote a poem: "The old negative is from Quality, high in Jiuyi Feng.
Yunxiao rush. Shenzhou new sky exchange, the mission of the garden. Students Ling Yunzhi, I refer to the road. Three melodies, laughing
, The new business, the Eastern Herkong. "
"Students Ling Yun Zhi, I refer to Pine", I am competing for it. People who are familiar with Mr. Yang know that Mr. Yang has learned from youth.
Born, especially undergraduate students. He did every effort to care and influence their growth.
"I started to give the Tsinghua's big student from September this year, I feel good. My first feeling is that it is simply from this
In the education level of Coros, Tsinghua's students have reached the world's first-class. I believe that Tsinghua's undergraduate average
The degree of undergraduate in Harvard University is high. "Yang Zhenning can presented amazing.
Students respect Mr. Yang in their own way. In the conference, the three schools of Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua
After the birth of the microphone, they did not ask Mr. Yang without an exception.
Some students asked Mr. Yang: "You just said that the computer is the integration of physical and mathematics, but now I am studying computer students.
If the students who learn mathematics add more, is our students who are too desirable? "
Mr. Yang told this classmate and didn't worry. He smiled and said, first, this is because of interest, "the child is especially easy."
Fans for your computer, you can sit in front of your computer all day. "He analyzed from the perspective of society:" Now, high social economy
Speed development, China's young people are naturally easy to facilitate the prospects, and it is an inevitable industry. "
But Mr. Yang immediately said: "The basic discipline can not be underestimated. In China, thousands of young people, must
Some people are reluctant to follow the trend, but willing to sit on the cold bench, willing to learn mathematics or physics. For example, Mr. Chen Jingrun,
How do you forced him, he will not go to learn your computer! "
When I talked about how to study computer correctly, Mr. Yang is particularly seriously warned that all the students present: "Young people
Computer interested is normal. However, if it turns into computer fans, I think there is a problem, because this will turn
Moved his attention in other directions, this may not be the most beneficial to his entire growth. In short, I think the computer is a very useful tool, and it is also a very interesting toy. The premise is that you will use this tool. "
There is a question that specializes in imagination attracts the attention of the audience, and a student teaches Yang Zhenning to ask "computer and the inter.
What kind of influence will there be online in the next 50 years? "
After thinking about a moment, Mr. Yang used the Chinese to answer this question: "Maybe, the computer's most important contribution to human beings,
The same era and century. Maybe this is the interpretation of the most important contribution of the computer. However, I don't dare to guarantee me.
The answer is correct. "
