    说的Yang-Mills方程只是个在华人物理界有名的理论,首先这个说法很荒谬。物理学就是物理学,不存在华人的或非华人的物理学,对的在哪都是对的。Yang-Mills方程不因为Yang是中国人就是对的,也不因为他娶了个年轻老婆就是错的。以前纳粹德国的时候,倒是区分过犹太人和非犹太人的物理,结果是世界物理的中心由德国移到了美国。

    copy一段他的Bower奖的citation,注意一下那几个和他相提并论的人名,里面那个Franklin不是别人,就是杨振宁的英文名

    Chen Ning Yang of the State University of New York at

    Stony Brook received the Bower Award and Prize for

    Achievement in Science. This is the first year that this

    $250,000 award was given. The citation for the award to

    Yang reads: "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." Yang is the Albert Einstein Professor

    and director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics

    at Stony Brook. He is the codeveloper of the celebrated

    Yang-Mills theory that has had such a profound effect on

    mathematics and physics.

    Gerard t'Hooft of the Institute for Theoretical Physics

    at Utrecht University received the Franklin Medal "for his

    pivotal role in laying the foundation for a unified field theory

    of the fundamental forces in nature." It is now generally

    believed that there are four fundamental forces in nature:

    the electromagnetic force, the gravitational force,

    and the weak and strong forces in particle physics. t'Hooft

    has proven that gauge theories satisfy a crucial constraint

    required for mathematical consistency and that they provide

    the proper framework for a unified theory of electromagnetic

    and weak forces.
