2024诺贝尔物理学奖一经公布，就有物理学界的人出来愤愤不平的说，难道只有物理学用到AI吗？哪个学科现在不用AI？文学作家都会用AI检查语法问题呢。怎么不把化学奖或生理和医学奖发给AI呀？。。。。

其实，答案就在于本博客近来不断提醒世人的这点：20世纪物理学基本上凉了。。。。

。。。。。。

今年早些时候我将“When Philosophy Is Disparaged”一文整理成书，后由Scholars’ Press于5月出版【[1]】。其中有这样两段话：

【

……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.

】

书中这两段是用来解释为什么物理学基础那么烂人们还可以取得技术上的进步。其中我也表达了我在其它一些场合曾表达的看法，那就是说20世纪人类最主要的科技成就不是物理学而是AI和电脑科技。。。。几个月后，诺贝尔委员会把物理学奖还就发给了AI专家。

虽说这可以说是所见略同，但考虑到这两个事件一个发生在前，一个发生在后，若干年后，如果有历史学家声称经过他们的考证发现，诺贝尔委员会是受到了“When Philosophy Is Disparaged”的启发，应该会有人认同，而且很多人，呵呵J。。。。

感谢上帝！

一切荣耀归于上帝！
