印象中读过邢志忠的博文,得来的一个印象是有的物理学家喜欢打赌。今天看到一个例子。
Arkani Hamed本周回到哥本哈根,将一瓶1000克朗的干邑白兰地酒交给打赌的一个赢家,尼尔斯玻尔国际科学院主任(Director of the Niels Bohr International Academy Poul Damgaard)
Arkani Hamed曾打赌,LHC实验将于随意选定的日期2016年6月16日发现超对称(supersymmetry)证据。超对称是预测粒子物理学的标准模型的成员存在伙伴粒子的理论。

Lifestyle
As a general rule, theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed does not get involved in physics bets. “Theoretical physicists like to take bets on all kinds of things,” he says. “I’ve always taken the moral high ground… Nature decides. We’re all in pursuit of the truth. We’re all on the same side.” But sometimes you’re in Copenhagen for a conference, and you’re sitting in a delightfully unusual restaurant-one that sort of reminds you of a cave-and a fellow physicist gives you the opportunity to get in on a decade-old wager about supersymmetry and the Large Hadron Collider. Sometimes then, you decide to bend your rule. “It was just such a jovial atmosphere, I figured, why not?” That’s how Arkani-Hamed found himself
