所見略同還是前者啟發後者？

2024諾貝爾物理學獎一經公布，就有物理學界的人出來憤憤不平的說，難道隻有物理學用到AI嗎？哪個學科現在不用AI？文學作家都會用AI檢查語法問題呢。怎麽不把化學獎或生理和醫學獎發給AI呀？。。。。

其實，答案就在於本博客近來不斷提醒世人的這點：20世紀物理學基本上涼了。。。。

。。。。。。

今年早些時候我將“When Philosophy Is Disparaged”一文整理成書，後由Scholars’ Press於5月出版【[1]】。其中有這樣兩段話：

【

……the greatest advances in human science over the past hundred years are not in theories of physics and related technologies, but rather in computer technology, automation and artificial intelligence, as well as related telecommunications and information technology. The development of computers especially the development of computer algorithms and programming, is basically independent of the development of frontier physics, despite there have been some generally limited influences from the development of frontier physics upon the development of computer hardware. In terms of the development of computer hardware, classical physics has so far played a far greater role than the most advanced quantum physics.

But on the other hand, the development of computer technology, automation and artificial intelligence obviously has a great impact on the advance of physics, both experimental and theoretical.

】

書中這兩段是用來解釋為什麽物理學基礎那麽爛人們還可以取得技術上的進步。其中我也表達了我在其它一些場合曾表達的看法，那就是說20世紀人類最主要的科技成就不是物理學而是AI和電腦科技。。。。幾個月後，諾貝爾委員會把物理學獎還就發給了AI專家。

雖說這可以說是所見略同，但考慮到這兩個事件一個發生在前，一個發生在後，若幹年後，如果有曆史學家聲稱經過他們的考證發現，諾貝爾委員會是受到了“When Philosophy Is Disparaged”的啟發，應該會有人認同，而且很多人，嗬嗬J。。。。

感謝上帝！

一切榮耀歸於上帝！

剛發現我的“When Philosophy Is Disparaged”一書的一個typo：

“The development of computers especially the development of computer algorithms and programming, is basically independent of the development of frontier physics, despite there have been some generally limited influences from the development of frontier physics upon the development of computer hardware.”這段話中的第一個逗號不該有/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~。

要再版了(*^_^*)。。。。

下麵兩種狀況一旦發生，哪一種會更震撼：

1）聯合國宣布外星人已經存在於地球，並在參與地球政治經濟文化事務；

2）聯合國教科文組織正式宣布相對論錯了，量子理論是湊出來的因而缺乏經驗基礎，所以20世紀理論物理學基本上涼了。
