    The Shaw Prize The Shaw Prize is an international award to honour individuals who are currently active in their respective fields and who have recently achieved distinguished and significant advances, who have made outstanding contributions in academic and scientific research or applications, or who in other domains have achieved excellence. The award is dedicated to furthering societal progress, enhancing quality of life, and enriching humanity’s spiritual civilization. Preference is to be given to individuals whose significant work was recently achieved and who are currently active in their respective fields. Founder's Biographical Note The Shaw Prize was established under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw. Mr Shaw, born in China in 1907, was a native of Ningbo County, Zhejiang Province. He joined his brother’s film company in China in the 1920s. During the 1950s he founded the film company Shaw Brothers (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. He was one of the founding members of Television Broadcasts Limited launched in Hong Kong in 1967. Mr Shaw also founded two charities, The Shaw Foundation Hong Kong and The Sir Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust, both dedicated to the promotion of education, scientific and technological research, medical and welfare services, and culture and the arts. ~ 1 ~ Message from the Chief Executive I warmly congratulate the six Shaw Laureates of 2014. Established in 2002 under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Prize is a highly prestigious recognition of the role that scientists play in shaping the development of a modern world. Since the first award in 2004, 54 leading international scientists have been honoured for their ground-breaking discoveries which have expanded the frontiers of human knowledge and made significant contributions to humankind.

  • The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell
    Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 161 (2002) 1–26 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) 10.1007/s002050100178 The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell III J. M. Ball & R. D. James Editors 1. Introduction Clifford Truesdell was an extraordinary figure of 20th century science. Through his own contributions and an unparalleled ability to absorb and organize the work of previous generations, he became pre-eminent in the development of continuum mechanics in the decades following the Second World War. A prolific and scholarly writer, whose lucid and pungent style attracted many talented young people to the field, he forcefully articulated a view of the importance and philosophy of ‘rational mechanics’ that became identified with his name. He was born on 18 February 1919 in Los Angeles, graduating from Polytechnic High School in 1936. Before going to university he spent two years at Oxford and traveling elsewhere in Europe. There he improved his knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek and became proficient in German, French and Italian.These language skills would later prove valuable in his mathematical and historical research. Truesdell was an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology, where he obtained B.S. degrees in Physics and Mathematics in 1941 and an M.S. in Math- ematics in 1942. He obtained a Certificate in Mechanics from Brown University in 1942, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton in 1943. From 1944–1946 he was a Staff Member of the Radiation Laboratory at MIT, moving to become Chief of the Theoretical Mechanics Subdivision of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Labo- ratory in White Oak, Maryland, from 1946–1948, and then Head of the Theoretical Mechanics Section of the U.S.

Brown1 & Hayden Betts2 1Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125 and 2Polytechnic School, Pasadena, CA 91106 Draft version November 17, 2011 ABSTRACT Over the last decade, evidence has mounted that the solar system's observed state can be favorably reproduced in the context of an instability-driven dynamical evolution model, such as the \Nice" model. To date, all successful realizations of instability models have concentrated on evolving the four giant planets onto their current orbits from a more compact configuration. Simultaneously, the possibility of forming and ejecting additional planets has been discussed, but never successfully implemented. Here we show that a large array of 5-planet (2 gas giants + 3 ice giants) multi-resonant initial states can lead to an adequate formation of the outer solar system, featuring an ejection of an ice giant during a phase of instability. Particularly, our simulations demonstrate that the eigenmodes which characterize the outer solar system's secular dynamics can be closely matched with a 5-planet model. Furthermore, provided that the ejection timescale of the extra planet is short, orbital excitation of a primordial cold classical Kuiper belt can also be avoided in this scenario. Thus the solar system is one of many possible outcomes of dynamical relaxation and can originate from a wide variety of initial states. This deems the construction of a unique model of solar system's early dynamical evolution impossible.

  • On the Metric of Space-Time
    Journal of Modern Physics, 2013, 4, 1511-1518 Published Online November 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/jmp) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jmp.2013.411184 On the Metric of Space-Time Carl E. Wulfman Department of Physics, University of the Pacific, Stockton, USA Email: [email protected] Received May 26, 2013; revised October 27, 2013; accepted August 28, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Carl E. Wulfman. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT Maxwell’s equations are obeyed in a one-parameter group of isotropic gravity-free flat space-times whose metric de- pends upon the value of the group parameter. An experimental determination of this value has been proposed. If it is zero, the metric is Minkowski’s. If it is non-zero, the metric is not Poincare invariant and local frequencies of electro- magnetic waves change as they propagate. If the group parameter is positive, velocity-independent red-shifts develop and the group parameter play a role similar to that of Hubble’s constant in determining the relation of these red-shifts to propagation distance. In the resulting space-times, the velocity-dependence of red shifts is a function of propagation distance. If 2c times the group parameter and Hubble’s constant have approximately the same value, observed fre- quency shifts in radiation received from stellar sources can imply source velocities quite different from those implied in Minkowski space. Electromagnetic waves received from bodies in galactic Kepler orbits undergo frequency shifts which are indistinguishable from shifts currently attributed to dark matter and dark energy in Minkowski space, or to a non-Newtonian physics.

That such a sentence might be written at the start of paper in 2014 is indicative of the genuine progress in our understanding of CFTs in more than two dimensions over the last few years and the resurgence of the conformal bootstrap as surprisingly accurate calculational tool. There are now insightful introductions to this rapidly developing field [2], [3], [4].
