看看杨振宁教授获 Bower 奖的颁奖词，可见其在物理学地位之崇高，把杨跟牛顿，爱因斯坦相提并论

For the formulation of a general field theory which synthesizes the physical laws of nature and provides us with an understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe. As one of the conceptual masterpieces of the twentieth century explaining the interaction of subatomic particles, his theory has profoundly reshaped the development of physics and modern geometry during the last forty years. This theoretical model, already ranked alongside the works of Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein, will surely have a comparable influence on future generations. These scientific contributions combined with his championing of understanding between China and the Western world and his promotion of science education among the youth in all corners of the globe reflect the scientific and humanitarian genius of Franklin himself.

• 多谢老兄分享！Yang-Mills确实把是爱因斯坦“统一场论”的遗志发扬光大了，非常非常重要的成就。 -阿留- ♂ (965 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 09:51:19

• 不谢啊！看到一群人在哪里喷杨振宁，心中不平。杨是千年以后，都会被人反复提起的人物。中国人中能出这么伟大的人物，是中国人的光荣。 -相对强度- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 10:04:32

• 给个link? Bower奖给了杨，没有给Mills，而Mills当时还在世的。 -阿留- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 11:42:33

• 我在中英文书中，看到提到这个理论，从来都是Yang-Mills。而且即便是颠倒过来，也是两个人的，为什么就不是给杨的呢？ -Diorissimo- ♀ (0 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 11:46:58

• 作为外行人还没有看到杨-米尔斯的理论有多伟大。当然Einstein的相对论也有同样的问题。 -泥中隐士- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 14:22:53

• 多谢您雅评。相对论其实距离我们比想象的要近得多。第一，没有相对论，卫星和GPS就不可能达到现在的精确度； -阿留- ♂ (743 bytes) () 02/24/2017 postreply 15:15:57

• 说相对能有用不像说牛顿定律，麦克斯微方程有用那么令人信服。当然这好像跟杨关系不大。 -泥中隐士- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/26/2017 postreply 12:20:27
