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.
我查了一下94年的BOWER奖的citation 没有找到以上一段
本来希望在bower奖的官方网页找到，但是没有。
