However, in fact, whether it be Qiu Chengwen or Edward Witten, they no longer cared.
They were all Fields Medal winners and had become the nation's top physicists and mathematicians. For them personally, winning a Nobel Prize in Physics no longer held much significance for their fame and careers.
By that time, they would still be engaged in theoretical research because there were no higher avenues available to them.
Meanwhile, other domestic scientists had also entered the list of Nobel Prize candidates, including two physicists from the Science Academy. However, everyone was well aware that they were only listed to make up the numbers and stood no real chance of winning.
In addition, an interesting piece of news was that Zhao Yi was also nominated to the list of candidates, only his category was for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Perhaps the Nobel Committee felt that since Zhao Yi did not accept scientific awards, he might accept the Peace Prize, which was not a scientific award?
