On February 19, 2016 (January 12, 2016 in the lunar calendar), the "Nobel Brother" Guo Yingsen incident. On February 19, 2016, when Guo Yingsen participated in the Tianjin TV reality show "You Are" five years ago, he mentioned that a video in which "gravitational waves" were ridiculed was spread online and sparked heated discussions. On February 11, 2016, American researchers announced that they had used the Laser Interference Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) to detect gravitational waves for the first time in September last year. Researchers announced that when two black holes collided about 1.3 billion years ago, the disturbance transmitted by the combination of two huge masses arrived at Earth on September 14, 2015 and was detected by precision instruments on Earth. confirming what Einstein predicted 100 years ago. Guo Yingsen, a native of Liaoning Province, was born in 1956 and has a junior high school education. He once worked as a plumber for Fushun City Gas Company. Folk science enthusiast and Internet celebrity. In February 2011, Guo Yingsen mentioned that "gravitational waves" were ridiculed when he participated in the Tianjin Satellite TV reality TV program "It's You" and the video went viral on the Internet. When Guo Yingsen participated in a TV program, he wanted to find a job and earn some money to continue studying his discoveries. A screenshot of the online hot video of the Tianjin Satellite TV reality TV program "You Are Only" This Guo Yingsen from Liaoning Province, although he has a low education and only graduated from junior high school, is obsessed with physics research and is known as "Brother Nobel". At the scene of "It's Only You","Brother Nobel" showed his research results, claiming that they were new theories and discoveries competing for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but they were frequently interrupted by the host, which also made the doctoral team on site. The guests sighed. "Brother Nobel" and Fang Zhouzi also had a direct dialogue on the program to discuss new theories of physics. Fang Zhouzi said that he did not understand the so-called new theory invented by Guo Yingsen. Guo Yingsen vowed to publish his paper in foreign academic journals. Fang Zhouzi advised him to give up. It doesn't work at home, but it's a fantasy abroad. Some members of the Bosses Group agreed with Fang Zhouzi's views, and Sun Hao supported Guo Yingsen. A fierce war of words sparked at the scene. Professor Challenge In August 1994, Guo Yingsen saw a "flying saucer"(UFO) on the bank of the Hun River, which aroused strong interest. As a result, he became a UFO researcher and then studied physics. "I have seen a flying saucer with my own eyes. After 10 years of research, I have learned the theory of flying saucer. According to my theory, a spacecraft can be built." Guo Yingsen said. He went to Beijing to use the theories he had developed to compare with professors in the physics community in China. Unfortunately, no one was fighting in Beijing, which surprised me." Guo Yingsen was very sad. Guo Yingsen claimed that he saw a flying saucer in the sky on the bank of the Hun River on the night of August 1994. "Since then, I have been fascinated by flying saucers and began to study physics for 10 years." I was ridiculed,"My invention is a few new theories and discoveries that are capable of competing for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Therefore, I hope that everyone here will have a far-sighted vision and make China a truly innovative country in the 20th century... Zhang Shaogang interrupted Guo Yingsen and corrected him: "21st century! The 20th century is over." The scene burst into laughter. "I have invented several new theories. When these things are put together, new science will be produced. What new technologies will these new sciences bring? All types of vehicles in the future will not need to have wheels..." Guo Yingsen said, modern science is in the "inertial system plus particle entities". Within this range of motion, the speed of movement of objects is extremely small than the speed of light. Its physics is called orthophysics. In new science, it is the "accelerating gravitational wave material wave", and its speed can greatly exceed the speed of light. When elaborating further, Guo Yingsen was interrupted by guest Fang Zhouzi: "I saw that his introduction was a junior high school degree. I thought he might not even learn junior high school well. He only remembered a few terms and began to use them indiscriminately. What gravitational waves or matter waves?" Later, Guo Yingsen wanted to use "mathematical expressions" to further elaborate his "theory". "You invented this yourself. No physicist in the world can understand it," Fang interrupted Guo Yingsen again and said that our temple is too small. He should win several Nobel Prizes. Moreover, if his invention and discovery can be established, we won't have to learn physics. Until the end, Guo Yingsen never had the opportunity to further elaborate on his "invention and discovery", so he hurriedly ended it. Netizens skinned On Zhihu. com, some netizens conducted a detailed skinning of the "folk scientist" who called himself "Brother Nobel". This netizen named @ Handi is the owner of the "Anti-Civil Science" bar on Baidu's Post Bar. It seems that he has been paying attention to this Uncle Guo for some time, because he immediately uncovered the various "pseudo-science" activities that Uncle Guo began to engage in 11 years ago. That was in 2005, when Uncle Guo claimed that he could prove the existence of UFOs through theory, and then called on Peking University to challenge Peking University's physics department teachers. However, in the end, no Peking University teachers responded to him because his theory was not worth arguing. One of the Peking University economics students who talked to him said that Uncle Guo first insisted on the existence of alien spacecraft and then reversed the argument. This was a typical logical error. However, to this day, Uncle Guo has still not given up on the claim that he had discovered UFOs. He also claimed that China Air Force had disclosed it, and even said that people who did not believe in the existence of UFOs were mentally retarded, and this brain hole was no longer there... This netizen also introduced that Uncle Guo's so-called new discovery of "physics" was indeed a random patchwork, and he even used the Taiji gossip in the category of metaphysics to "make it happen" with physical science. In 2012,"Nobel Brother" Guo Yingsen set up a ring at the entrance of the university. According to detailed information from netizen @ Handi, although this Uncle Guo claimed that he was studying science, he even once asked everyone to support him to compete for the Nobel Prize by selling kidneys and livers. However, he also personally admitted that his theory has never been verified by real mathematical science. Not only that, he has repeatedly threatened on the Internet that "mathematics is useless" and that "real science does not require mathematics." Netizens commented that netizens "like Chen Datou's food" and believed that they did not even have the most basic respect! "The waves are still in previous years" believes that none of the guests present, including the host, is qualified to comment on science, but they still stop it? "Cunshanhe" even said that a dream that is not laughed at is not a dream. A group of illiterate people assume that they are standing at the commanding heights, but they don't even give others a chance to speak. Netizen KISS Little Lucky said: Everyone remember this name: Guo Yingsen! He may be the future China Nobel Prize winner!! Push it up! Many netizens believe that now they all owe him an apology. Weibo queen Yao Chen called him "a great worker", and People's Daily Online also said "Please respect other people's dreams." Media comments In February 2016, a group of marketing accounts on Weibo with no scientific literacy re-opened this video and praised this "civil science" as a god, saying that "the discovery of gravitational waves finally confirmed his conjecture." Faced with scientific issues, what we should ultimately pay attention to is the conclusions drawn through rigorous and scientific demonstration, and perform them in the same rigorous and scientific manner, and should not be distorted by those who play with "pseudoscience" and those who hype populist sentiment. Talking about things as they are should be a principle worthy of everyone's awe when talking about public affairs in a mature society. However, none of the "pseudo-scientific" theories "invented" by Uncle Guo have undergone rigorous scientific testing. He even avoided showing his own derivation process many times, giving the excuse that he was afraid of being "plagiarized." A reminder to the "Only You" program team and other reality TV shows that in the future, don't find this kind of pseudo-scientist who is undoubtedly a "fraud" to stage to gain ratings. It's quite low-level. (Global Times) Whether they were the guests on the show or the Gao Zhi who commented today, they all expressed their opinions without knowing anything about Guo Yingsen's research. What exactly does Guo Yingsen's research say? He did not get the opportunity to express himself on the program, and now he has not received a systematic introduction, but this does not affect those with a sense of intellectual superiority to express disrespectful evaluations of his research. Why can't a brain without a high degree package produce great ideas and achievements? Much of human civilization is a by-product. If science should be ranked based on seniority, then most of mankind's scientific achievements so far would never have occurred. No matter how valuable Guo Yingsen's new theory is, a person who loves science should first be respected, should be given the right to finish his words completely, and should be given the right not to be laughed at or ridiculed. No one is qualified to laugh at Guo Yingsen with a sense of intellectual superiority, let alone laugh at a person with a dream. (Guangming.com) Linking academics with identity and academic qualifications is one of the most uncultivated epidemic diseases in contemporary China society. The reason why this is a disease is to violate the basic facts of the academic history of the world and China. As far as world academic history is concerned, at least before universities and research institutes became academic entities, the academic mainstream was actually nothing more than the achievements of "amateurs", the "amateur" interests of aristocrats, bureaucrats, soldiers, monks, gentlemen, writers, artists and ordinary citizens. The same is true in China. For example, in terms of the most important study of Confucian classics after the Han Dynasty, the main force was bureaucrats, gentlemen, soldiers, writers and ordinary civilians. (Tencent) Visual analysis of the emotional viral spread of the "Brother Nobel" incident on the original Weibo spread. From media and interest reading apps, the number of original Weibo retweets of the "Brother Nobel" incident on the "Brother Nobel" incident was as high as 150,000. Analyzing the Weibo communication chain, we can see that marketing accounts and big V accounts with millions of fans are key communication points, directly contributing to lower-level retweets and communication. Weibo has heated up the topic, only attracting attention, and as long as some of the traffic from self-media and interest-based reading apps follow up first, the spread of the incident has expanded. Some formal media also fell. The People's Daily's official Weibo account retweeted the video and tagged "Respect Dreams" to guide the topic (the Weibo account has been deleted). There are also some media blindly catering to Internet hot spots and publishing many news reports and commentary articles that are very "Nobel Brother". Originally, the public lacked understanding of science, and the spread of misinformation in the media further strengthened the public's prejudice against people in the scientific community-believing that they were just using their own evaluation system to crowd out promising civil science. Conclusion The initial hype of this "Brother Nobel" incident was too much, but soon, some media and websites such as Zhihu and Guguo began to expose issues such as civil science and pseudoscience. In many media, positive and negative voices are publishing in large quantities. However, having a rational voice in the public opinion field does not mean that everyone is happy. After a heated speculation and a reversal of cold water, in the eyes of many people, Guo Yingsen was just a "prop" used by the media. The subsequent rational voice could not dispel many people's wrong views, and sometimes it made people confused. Fang Zhouzi responded to this statement by publishing a 4,000-word long article on Weibo on the evening of February 22, 2016. In Fang Zhouzi's view, it is not that they owe Guo Yingsen an apology, but that "who owes me an apology." Fang Zhouzi said, seeing that there are still so many people supporting "Brother Nobel" and criticizing me for losing a Nobel Prize in China, doesn't it mean that there are very, very many China people who have not even studied well in junior high school? Of course, it does not mean that you are inferior to others if you fail to learn well in junior high school, but you think you understand science better than anyone else if you fail to learn well in junior high school. This is called anti-intelligence. This incident should also make everyone understand that China is still in the obscurity of the Middle Ages and the Boxer Rebellion era to some extent. Therefore, to popularize science and reason, you must have the courage to be not afraid of being scolded.
