Chapter 1335 The Advisory Committee Is Established!

Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Two days have passed since the end of the Centennial Physics Conference, and the posters in the exhibition area have been withdrawn in sevens and eighties, but some IMCRC staff and physicists who have not left can still be seen at the scene.

And, the reporters who came here to interview.

"This is Fox News. We are now in front of the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center. Physicists participating in the Centennial Physics Summit here have left one after another, but there are still some scholars who are unwilling to leave. Let us interview Let them know... Hello, sir," I found a tall, thin man who looked like a scholar who was closest to me, and the reporter wandering outside the exhibition center handed out the microphone in his hand, interviewing Said, "Hello, sir, are you a staff member of IMCRC?"

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Professor Pierce looked the reporter up and down, and said, "No, I'm a professor of high energy physics from Oxford University... What's the matter?"

Reporter: "May I ask what happened here? The Centennial Physics Conference has ended for two days. Why are so many people unwilling to leave?"

"Because I have some unfinished business with the scientific research institution at Stockholm University, I probably have to stay in Shanghai for about two days." Following the reporter's gaze and looking at those people not far away, Professor Pierce immediately I understood what he wanted to know, so I said, "Of course, some people stay here because... I hope Professor Lu can stay."

Reporter: "I heard that many people in the physics community were surprised by Professor Lu's resignation from IMCRC?"

Professor Pierce: "That's right."

Reporter: "In your opinion, how might this affect IMCRC?"

Professor Pierce thought for a while and said.

"It's hard to say... But many people gather here because of him. And now, he has chosen to leave... At least in my heart, IMCRC has lost half or even more than half of its appeal."

"It's a sad thing, I have to say."

Professor Pierce's view is just a microcosm of the general view in the physics community.

In fact, it’s not just Fox News’ reports, most of the media’s interviews with well-known scholars in the field of physics give more or less pessimistic views.

Almost everyone was surprised by Lu Zhou's choice.

Only a few people think that he did the right thing, and a very small number of people think that his departure will not have any impact on the progress of physics.

Under the influence of this pessimistic mood, the IMCRC committee is undoubtedly under the greatest pressure.

In addition to those annoying reporters, there is also pressure from within the academic community. These days, IMCRC's mailbox has been almost filled with mails pouring in from all directions.

The news of Lu Zhou's resignation from the IMCRC council also occupied the headlines of major newspapers at an incredible speed.

The BBC even made a documentary. From the perspective of five physicists engaged in research in different fields, they described from the side the unified theory of strong electricity, the theory of void, the theory of hyperspace, and what the reward of 100 million yuan brought to the physics community. What has come, and what impact his departure will have on the future of the physics community.

As the discoverer of the Higgs particle, when he was interviewed by a BBC reporter, Mr. Higgs, who was almost 100 years old, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I am not optimistic about the future of IMCRC."

"IMCRC has not been smooth sailing since its establishment. As far as I know, there have been at least two crises during this period that were enough to disintegrate this international cooperation organization."

"However, the reason why IMCRC was able to survive the crisis smoothly is not because of how solid its cooperation mechanism is, nor because of how deep its foundation is, but because of that Lu Zhou, who has united many people with his academic reputation. Together. You can find that many North American research institutes had withdrawn from IMCRC at that time, and even the representatives of the United States withdrew. However, many North American scholars stayed in their personal capacity, and finally completed the study of the Z particle and The discovery of a series of physical phenomena such as the law of high-dimensional particle motion."

"The IMCRC without Lu Zhou is like a building without a load-bearing wall...Who do you think can replace the chairman?"

Having said that, Mr. Higgs smiled and continued with a joke.

"Even if I am fifty years younger, I may not be able to do it."

Professor Higgs expressed the concerns of many top scholars in the physics field.

In fact, the vast majority of people hope that this international scientific research organization can continue to operate for a long time.

However, this is just a good wish, not enough to be the cornerstone for IMCRC to continue its past prosperity. Many people are worried that once Lu Zhou leaves, no one will be able to take on the heavy responsibility of the physics helmsman, and can only watch the giant ship fall apart in the dangerous sea.

Academia is a pessimistic voice.

The outside news is generally not optimistic about the future of the IMCRC that has lost Lu Zhou.

But at this moment, the situation suddenly turned around.

IMCRC, which is at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, suddenly held a press conference.

And the spokesperson of this press conference is Lu Zhou himself!

After the news was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the physics circle and even the entire academic circle.

Professor Lu is going to hold a press conference!

Did he finally hear the cries of the people and intend to stay? !

Although knowing that this possibility is very slim, many people who are worried about the future of IMCRC can't help but look forward to it.

Driven by this sentiment, on the day IMCRC announced the date of the press conference, almost all the influential media from all over the world gathered here in Shanghai, squatting until the day of the press conference.

IMCRC headquarters.

In the first hall of the annex building.

Facing the cameras that filled the press conference, and the eyes that were looking forward to this side, Lu Zhou walked to the podium and cleared his throat, speaking in a steady voice.

"I have noticed that the academic community is very concerned about the upcoming board meeting of IMCRC recently, and a lot of discussions can be heard on the Internet or in private."

"From these voices, we heard some concerns. We have had some discussions internally about this given the prevailing sentiment."

"And as a result of the discussion, here I will announce an important thing."

The press conference was surprisingly quiet, without any unnecessary noise.

However, although he couldn't hear any extra voices, Lu Zhou standing in front of the podium could clearly see and feel that the temperature brewing in those pairs of eyes had obviously risen by an order of magnitude, and each of them was gaining momentum. The reporter who was about to go held his breath.

After pausing for a moment, he turned the page of the speech in his hand and spoke.

"According to the results of the closed-door meeting of the IMCRC Council, the IMCRC will, on the basis of the original council system, set up an independent body, the 'Advisory Committee'."

"As the supervisory body of the Council, the Advisory Committee will not directly participate in the specific affairs of IMCRC except to give reference opinions when necessary."

"If and only when IMCRC has a controversial issue or is facing a serious crisis, the advisory committee can exercise special powers and initiate an emergency plan, including but not limited to the one-vote veto of the council's decision-making, and the non-compliance of directors and other personnel. There are a series of special procedures such as resignation, removal of the chairman, and appointment of an interim chairman.”

"Any emergency plan will be discussed and voted on in an emergency meeting, and it will be implemented when there are more than two-thirds of the votes."

"All advisors will be automatically served by the outgoing chairman and serve for life."

Responding to the expectant eyes of the audience and the shots, Lu Zhou announced in a calm and clear voice.

"Wait until the council meeting is over and the chairman's work handover is completed."

"I will be the first consultant of IMCRC!"
