Attracted by a "strange" exoplanet... a group of people at the Li Zhengdao Institute, tonight Tianwen | Field | Group of people
Is the sun and moon safe? Lie Xing An Chen? At tonight's first Zhangjiang Summit Forum "Tianwen" Creative Enjoyment Hui and "Chasing Dreams in the Starry Sea" Concert, experts and professors from Li Zhengdao Research Institute unveiled the "Tianwen" password for everyone.
The reporter learned that Zhangjiang's launch of the "Zhangjiang Summit Forum" is another important measure to lead, serve, and cultivate regional scientific and technological innovation talents. The forum aims to create an opportunity for regional high-level, elite, and top talents to have face-to-face communication, discussions, and discussions with world-class experts about future technological innovation. The first Zhangjiang Summit Forum, with the theme of the vast universe, includes two parts: the "Tianwen" Creation and Enjoyment Hui and the "Chasing Dreams and Starry Seas" Concert. It invited outstanding young scientists from overseas and Professor Lai Dong from the Li Zhengdao Research Institute as the main speaker, with the assistance of the Shanze Quartet and young lyrical tenor Yu Song. Through the interweaving of science and art, the forum presented three chapters: "Tianwen", "Seeking", and "Xiuyuan".
The entire event combines traditional Chinese culture with modern scientific and technological innovation research, while also allowing the forum for exploring the universe to stand on stage with imaginative music, allowing participants to gain knowledge of the universe and immerse themselves in the spirit of scientific research through the immersive experience of the surging stars. More than 200 representatives from more than 40 regional party building units in Zhangjiang Town, including COMAC Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute, Shanghai Shipbuilding Research and Design Institute, Shanghai Institute of Metrology and Testing Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Intellectual Property Center, Shanghai Data Exchange, and the National Medical Products Administration's Changsan Jiao Branch, participated in the event.
Professor Lai Dong introduced on the forum that over the past two decades, humans have discovered over 3000 exoplanets. According to existing observations, it is estimated that on average, there is one planet in every three star systems within the Milky Way, and each star system has an average of 2-3 planets, including some terrestrial planets that can accommodate water and life.
However, many exoplanets are "strange", such as hot Jupiter and super Earth, which are completely different from the planetary systems within the solar system where humans reside, and there are many currently unexplained mysteries. At the forum, Lai Dong led the audience in an inspiring manner to review the exploration and research process of human beings in the outer solar system and exoplanet systems, summarized important scientific issues in the current "strange" exoplanet system research, and boldly proposed potential major discoveries in this field in the future.
It is reported that in the future, the Zhangjiang Summit Forum will also carry out a series of activities with "Chinese chip", "innovative medicine", "blue sky dream", "future car", "intelligent manufacturing" and "data port" as the main content, effectively expanding the platform for talent exchange in various fields of science and technology, and creating a regional science and technology symbiosis, co creation, and sharing of new science and technology ecology.
