Chapter 1155: Chapter 565: The Nobel Prize in Physics Without Suspense! _2

However, the Aviation Group has absolute pricing power, effectively facing a global monopoly.

This is a technological monopoly.

Of course, they can’t officially use the term "monopoly" because they will license the technology to other enterprises and institutions, which can also research on this technology and develop new types of anti-gravity devices, and participate in market competition.

But for how long?

Without access to the real anti-gravity technology, nobody knows how long the development will take, but it’s certain that the Aviation Group can maintain a monopoly on anti-gravity technology for a significant period of time.

This is the time to recoup their investment.

Although the Aviation Group’s anti-gravity technology is a clear technological monopoly and will undoubtedly bring in huge patent licensing fees, some large enterprises are still eager to try, especially those whose core is technological innovation.

These companies have always prided themselves on being "tech" companies; they claim to develop the most cutting-edge technology and focus on continuous innovation.

For them, anti-gravity technology is an opportunity not to be missed, and they must secure the technology no matter the cost. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

From a short-term profit perspective, they must do so.

For instance, if a competitor gets their hands on anti-gravity technology and they don’t, the market might favor the competitor, leading to a significant increase in their stock price. Without anti-gravity technology, missing out on the golden opportunity to seize it could result in losing market confidence.

For companies valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, even a slight fluctuation in stock price involves huge sums of money, and they invest billions of dollars yearly in innovative technology research and development.

By comparison, what is the cost of purchasing a license for anti-gravity technology?

...

The conference on anti-gravity technology had reached its final stage.

The venue.

Zhao Yi presented his concluding arguments. He listed a dozen formulas on the whiteboard, synthesizing them for analysis, proving that "any particle spin produces anti-gravitational properties" and "the closer a particle’s mass is to zero, the better the anti-gravitational effect of its spin."

These two conclusions, backed by a series of proofs, comprised the report on Photon Anti-gravity Theory.

Zhao Yi completed his final analysis and then took the stage to deliver his closing remarks, "The world of science is endless."

"The study of anti-gravity is just beginning. We have obtained the key to the door, and I believe that with the efforts of scientists around the world, research on anti-gravity will vigorously advance, ushering in great progress in science and bringing changes to all aspects of our lives."

"The anti-gravitational properties of particle spin demonstrate another mysterious aspect of the universe."

"Matter’s gravity and particles’ anti-gravity are, from a physical perspective, opposite properties."

"Sometimes, I wonder, what exactly is antimatter? What is dark matter? What are the deeper mysteries of the universe?"

"Is the Big Bang theory correct? Is string theory correct?"

"And so on."

"Perhaps we can find the answers in the research of anti-gravity!"

After Zhao Yi finished speaking and bowed slightly, he formally concluded the five-day report.

Intense applause erupted from the audience.

Everyone was clapping vigorously, astonished by the anti-gravity theory and filled with curiosity and the desire to explore following Zhao Yi’s final remarks. A completely new discovery could lead to rapid development in related fields, and considering from the fundamental theoretical logic, anti-gravity might point directly at the deep mysteries of the universe.

But what those mysteries are still requires further research.

Rapid technological development can trigger a technological explosion.

The report had concluded.

Zhao Yi stepped down from the stage and exchanged pleasantries with those around him. He recognized many in the first few rows, including several Fields Medal laureates, whom he had seen at mathematicians’ conferences but had only spoken to in passing.

Now everyone was very enthusiastic. Edward Witten, who was well acquainted with Zhao Yi, joked, "After this report, I think the Nobel Committee must be eager to bestow the prize upon you."

Others also remarked with admiration, "It’s today, the nominations are starting. There will be no suspense for today’s physics prize."

"It’s probably the first time in decades that there’s no suspense for the Nobel Prize in Physics!"

"But I feel that it’s an honor for the Nobel Committee to award you the prize. If you don’t accept it, they would lose all face."

"Zhao Yi’s achievements are enough to win any award, and I don’t think there would be any objections if all the math and physics awards were given to him!"

"I feel the same way."

"It’s truly amazing, anti-gravity, anti-gravitation—these are realms of knowledge only a genius could reach."

"..."

Amidst a plethora of admiring comments, Zhao Yi appeared quite composed, merely smiling and exchanging pleasantries. Actually, he was somewhat looking forward to the Nobel; not because of the Nobel’s influence, but because his main mission was to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This mission had persisted for many years without completion.

The Nobel Prize in Physics was exceedingly difficult to obtain. His contributions to the discovery of the Higgs particle were insufficient to win the award, and his other research, such as Boundary Theory in particle physics, remained theoretical and unproven, thus ineligible for recognition.
