Stephen Hawking became the laureate of the Special Physics Special Physics Special Prime of 3 million dollars

Stephen Hawking was awarded a special prize in fundamental physics with a size of 3 million US dollars. In addition, one more special prize of $ 3 million was divided by seven scientists, thanks to which the Higgso-like boson on a large Adron Collider managed to open. Meanwhile, the winner of the Main Prize “Fundamental Physics” of 2013, the size of 3 million dollars will be named at a ceremony in Cern on March 20, 2013. This was reported by the press service of the Fundamental Physics Foundation .

The outstanding physicist and the well -known popularizer of science Stephen Hawking was noted for the theoretical forecast of the radiation of black holes and his deep contribution to quantum gravity and quantum aspects of the early Universe . Among the scientists conducting research on the tank, in the experiments of CMS and Atlas, Peter Jenni, Fabiola Gianotti from the Atlas experiment, Michel Della Della Della Michelle, Tezhiner Singhu Virdi were awarded with a special prize. Singh Virdee), Guido Tonelli, Joe Incandela from the CMS experiment and Lyn Evans, tank).

In turn, laureates are less significant in monetary terms, but no less prestigious “New Frontiers Prize”, Charles Kane, Lawrens Molenkamp and Shouchengeng (Shouchengeng (Shouchengeng ”became Zhang) for theoretical prediction and experimental discovery of topological and insulators.

This award was also awarded a nourishment from Russia, now a professor at Princeton University (USA) Alexander Polyakov for numerous achievements in the field of the field theory and theory of strings, including relating to the conformal boots, magnetic monopolists, instanations, confistons-deconitions, quanties of strings in non-critical dimensions and much more. The report notes that its ideas have a decisive effect on the development of these areas of physics over the past few decades.

Joseph Polchinski became the laureate of the New Fronts Prize for his contribution to many areas of quantum field theory and strings theory. The size of the award is 300 thousand dollars. The winners of the "new borders" will automatically be candidates for the Main Prize "Fundamental Physics" in the next five years.

The names of young scientists awarded the New Horizons awarded to 100 thousand US dollars, which was created to support young talents, were also named. Niklas Beisert, David Zhayotto (Zohar Komargodski) were laureates.

Recall that the awards were founded by the Fund created by the Russian businessman Yuri Milner, a graduate of the physical faculty of Moscow State University (1985), during his graduate school working in the theoretheld of Fiana. In 2001, he became a co -owner and general director of the mail.ru postal service. Forbes magazine applies his fortune of 1 billion US dollars.

The first owners of the award in the million dollars in August 2012 were 9 outstanding scientists. Among them are three immigrants from Russia - professor of the California Technological Institute, Alexei Kitaev, permanent professor of the Institute of Higher Scientific Research (IHES) near Paris Maxim Kontsevich, professor of the faculty of physics of Stanford University (USA) Andrei Linde. In addition, the award winners were: Alan Guth from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), Edward Witten, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Nathan Seiber, and Juan Maldasen (Juan MALDACENA) from the Institute of Promising Research in Princeton (CC). The ninth laureate was Ashoke Sen (Ashoke Sen) from the research institute Harish Candra (India). The analysis of their achievements, conducted by the Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Rubakov and the Doctor. physical. Sciences Boris Stern, read in the newspaper Trinity Option. All 9 scientists entered the qualifying committee, which made a decision on the new laureates of the award.
