There is a joke circulating in the room: where there is an explosion, there is Yang Zhenning.

Ellison(xn) is a professor of physics at the University of Chicago. At that time, he was preparing to build an accelerator with 400,000 electron volts, which was the most advanced at that time. Yang Zhenning became one of six graduate students of Ellison under the recommendation of his tutor Fermi. However, in the past 20 months in the laboratory, Yang Zhenning's physical experiments went very smoothly, and explosions often occurred during the experiment, so that they were circulated in the laboratory at that time. One day, Dr. Taylor, who has been paying attention to Yang Zhenning and is known as the father of American hydrogen bombs, asked Yang Zhenning with concern: "Isn't your experiment very successful?" "Yes," Yang Zhenning said sincerely to his respected predecessors. "I don't think you need to insist on writing an experimental paper. You wrote a theoretical paper. I suggest you enrich your doctoral thesis. I can be your mentor. " Taylor told Yang Zhenning bluntly. Yang Zhenning listened to Taylor's words, and his mood was very complicated. On the one hand, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he really couldn't do the experiment; On the other hand, he is unwilling to admit defeat, and he very much hopes to make up for his lack of experimental ability by writing an experimental paper. He is very grateful to Taylor for his concern, but it is not easy for him to give up the plan. "I want to think about it and tell you in a couple of days," Yang Zhenning said seriously. Yang Zhenning thought about it for two days. Finally, he accepted Taylor's suggestion and gave up his plan to write an experimental paper. From then on, he gave up writing experimental papers.
