German scientists: pre human physics genius, post man fake maniac

If there is no accident, Hendrik Schoen is likely to become the winner of the new physics prize.
The German scientist was known as a child prodigy from an early age. In just 5 years, he obtained the equivalent of a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Germany.After graduating from Ph.D., he joined the American laboratory. In the research institution that was the birthplace of the 6 prize winners, he quickly became the academic star with the title of "paper production workshop director".
In 2001 alone, he created an average of a paper published every 8 days, of which 4 were published in science and nature, and all were the first authors. The legendary "average every two months can open up a new field", hence the name "the second world" and "the physical world".
A year later, it became a hot topic again. This time, however, it was not a scientific discovery, but a scandal. An independent investigation committee found that there were 16 academic misconduct, including deliberately fabricating data.
The so-called physical genius is a fake maniac. This scandal not only made him lose his reputation, but even his master's Lab.
Why can a young man fool the whole scientific community? Why are top academic journals allowed to muddle through? Physical science is the so-called Precision Science, which should not be fooled so well. How did it succeed? With these questions, American journalist Rui Chi interviewed 126 scientists and periodical editors, who wrote the book "the demon of Science: how to lift the biggest counterfeiting hurricane of physics" in 7 years.
Academic fraud can be traced back to the origin of science, but the concept of academic misconduct has been raised in recent years. In 1999, the United States took the lead in defining academic misconduct as "deliberately, knowingly or unintentionally fabricating, tampering or plagiarizing data or text".
In 1986, the "incident" was the most influential academic misconduct in the history of American science. It was caused by the publication of a paper by a laureate and a collaborator. To this end, the Department of health and human services has set up an office dealing with academic misconduct.
Rui Chi believes that after this incident, scientists believe that scientists who expose others' false promises may also cause political interference to other scientists, and thus believe that exposing academic fraud is risky and may violate scientific ethics. Moreover, taboo is implicated in the historical origin of academic fraud. They are more reluctant to publicly suspect and expose academic fraud, which is one of the reasons why academic fraud can not be exposed.
The research field of condensed matter is condensed matter physics and nanotechnology. He claims that organic molecules can be superconducting, and can be made into organic monolayer transistors. These results are real enough to win the prize. There are hundreds of laboratories around the world trying to repeat the results, or do further research based on the results, but no one can repeat them. At the same time, no one came out to question publicly at the beginning.
Rachel wrote: "in the scandal, science did the right thing, but not itself, but just a few scientists did the right thing. Hundreds of laboratories replicated, and numerous voices of doubt appeared, but only a few researchers really turned doubt into a whistling whistle.
Those who hide behind the scenes may not be completely cowardly. The scientific community has a widely accepted assumption that science is the process of self correction, and that future research will solve any controversial issue, according to the analysis. It also means that if a researcher lies, he will eventually be exposed. And throwing too much cold water on new academic viewpoints is not conducive to academic innovation. Therefore, academic journals will be more tolerant of new ideas. Many scientists do not want to publicly claim that others are cheating and rely more on this self correcting mechanism.
Eventually, he was expelled not only by the lab, but also by his university's doctoral degree. Later, when science reported it, it would be likened to Ikari J in Greek mythology.In legend, icaris flew away from the island where they were imprisoned and fled with wax and wings. Excited by icaris, despite his father's repeated warning, he flew too close to the sun and was sunburnt into the sea.
