As early as many years ago, some people have realized that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the development of human society is originally to follow the pace of science and move forward.
The modern and even intelligent life that we can enjoy is the product of scientific and technological development, and the core of scientific and technological development is scientists.
After the release of this year's list of global scientists, it is even more curious how many top scientists are in each country, judging from the relevant data, there are 2,632 in the United States, and 294 in Japan.
Is this list of global scientists credible?How many top scientists are there in China?
In the process of scientific and technological development, the most difficult thing is not the breakthrough of technology, but the scarcity of talents.
These scientists may not be named, but their efforts and achievements are impossible to ignore.
It is precisely because of their exploration that science has progressed little by little, so that human cognition has been slowly changed, and human society has been developed step by step.
With the deepening of globalization, the trend of scientific research is also developing in the direction of internationalization.
How many top scientists there are in a country can also reflect the country's scientific and technological level and the strength of future technological development to a certain extent.
This year, Stanford, together with the world's largest academic publishers, released the latest list of the world's top scientists.
However, for the ranking of talents in a certain field, there has always been some subjective preferences mixed with objective data, after all, people are not an experiment or an object, and there is no completely accurate data to fully show a person and can be used to make comparisons.
The ranking of the world's top scientists is also divided into two lists, one is the "Lifetime Scientific Impact" list, and the other is the "Annual Scientific Impact" list.
Lifetime impact is judged by the contribution and influence of scientists throughout their academic careers, while the annual list focuses only on the academic impact of scientists in the previous year.
The first place on the annual scientific influence list is Chinese Wang Zhonglin, and he is also the second place on the lifetime scientific influence list, and he is the only Chinese in the top ten of this list.
You must know that the results of a top scientist's research often have the ability to promote the development and progress of all mankind.
Although these scientists stand on the shoulders of giants, they are also the backbone of a country, and whoever can have more top scientists may be able to ride the dust in the field of science and technology.
Japan is one of the three largest economies in the world today, and despite its small area and population, it is still very rich in human resources.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been aware of the importance of human resource accumulation, and at that time, their cultural and educational methods also helped to accumulate human resources.
According to relevant statistics, the number of top scientists in Japan has reached 294, which may not seem like much, but after all, Japan's population base is not large, and it is already a lot to have nearly 300 top scientists.
This is because Japan now has a very advanced and systematic educational philosophy, and it also has world-class universities.
Don't look at Japan** can always do some ridiculous things that shock the world, and the Japanese imperial family is always criticized, but in terms of education, Japan ** is still relatively positive.
Every year, Japan invests a large amount of money in research and education, and also provides research opportunities for professionals in specialized fields.
Some of Japan's better universities provide students with state-of-the-art laboratories, and although doing so increases the cost and difficulty of the day-to-day operation of the school, they are willing to spend money on training talents.
Germany is also a talent power, but the development of German talents is very different from Japan, in World War II, in order to become a world hegemon, Germany frantically cultivated talents in various fields, and a large number of professionals were born.
However, the choice made for the sake of war was not destined to last long, and the infusion of talent did allow Germany to achieve some victories, and even almost swept across Europe.
However, Germany did not be arrogant for too long, after the defeat in World War II, Germany's resources were divided, and a large number of talents they bothered to cultivate were also coaxed, and in the end they just made wedding dresses for others.
Among the countries that carved up Germany's talents, the United States can be said to be the country that has gained the most, and the original capital and a large number of talents annexed at this stage have laid the foundation for future development.
Many people think that the United States is very strong in terms of economy, science and technology, and it has the capital to train so many scientists.
In fact, this kind of thinking is completely upside down, not because it is strong to have so many scientists, but because there are enough scientists that the United States can become bigger and stronger.
The United States is a country that was founded less than 300 years ago, and it is also a "newborn" in the world, but it is such a country with almost no history and no culture of its own, but it has been able to occupy the top position of the world in just over 200 years.
To be able to do this, the German talent is indispensable, in fact, there are really many geniuses among the Germans.
Albert Einstein, Beethoven, Marx, countless geniuses were born in Germany, and even now, Germany is notoriously rigorous.
As mentioned above, in order to realize its ambition to sweep the world, Germany has cultivated a large number of top talents in various fields in one stage.
However, the subsequent "anti-Semitic policy" and the defeat of Germany in World War II changed the talent boom that had been created before.
When the anti-Semitic policy was implemented, a large number of Jews and some Germans who were not accustomed to the domestic situation chose to leave Germany, and most of them chose to settle in the United States.
After all, the United States at that time was known as the "beacon of freedom", and the treatment of scientists or talents in professional fields was not generally good, and the Germans who were not used to seeing the best were naturally willing to develop in the United States.
The influx of these scientists gave the United States a taste of the sweetness of the war, so when it came to dividing up the spoils, the United States rarely asked for much real gold, but hit the abacus on a large number of German scientists.
In this way, the United States plundered most of the German scientists, and the development of these scientists in the United States also allowed the United States to quickly surpass several traditional powers at that time and become a world hegemon.
The United States is not only able to plunder talent, but it is also able to use the means of grace and power to make these talents obey the United States' development policy as if they were in their own country.
At the beginning, the United States simply increased the welfare benefits of these talents, but there is no upper limit to people's greed, and people in any country are the same.
Slowly, the preferential treatment of the United States can no longer impress these arrogant geniuses and scientists, so the United States has added some tough measures.
Qian Xuesen's experience must be very clear to everyone, at that time, there were many people studying advanced knowledge and technology in Xi United States, and they came from various countries.
The United States has trained them, of course, in the hope that these people will stay and work for the United States, but a considerable number of them still want to return home between high salaries and the country.
They are basically coerced and lured by the United States, high salaries and house arrest injuries go hand in hand, and there are still a few people like Qian Xuesen who stick to their original intentions and try all kinds of ways to return to China, and the United States has left a large number of talents in this way.
According to relevant statistics, the number of top scientists in the United States is 2,632, which is the best in the world.
China's development in recent years is obvious to the whole world, even if we have missed the opportunity for development because of the wrong choice of feudal rulers, but we have changed our destiny with strength.
After the outbreak of the industrial revolution abroad, China was a veritable backward country in the eyes of the developed countries in the world.
When cars were running everywhere in other countries, it was difficult for us to even produce tires, but after the founding of New China, everything was developing in a good direction.
China has always known that science and technology is the primary productive force, but also knows the importance of talents, so after the economy improved, the country began to implement the "nine-year compulsory education", in order to enable everyone to progress through learning Xi.
Our country's population base is already large, and it is possible to educate so many people, and of course, there is also the opportunity to cultivate more talents to contribute to the country.
According to the data, the number of top scientists in China is 562, and it is true that there is still a certain gap between this number and the United States, which ranks first in the world.
However, we have also developed much shorter times than countries like the United States and Japan, and in the past few decades, China has experienced years of war, post-war devastation, and a difficult restart.
These stages have stifled the birth of countless top scientists in China, after all, in turbulent times, no genius can calm down to do scientific research.
It was not until after the reform and opening up that the country finally began to stride forward, and in just a few decades since then, China has created countless miracles that have shocked the world.
Deng Jiaxian, the father of the two bombs and one satellite, who made China take the first step in independently designing nuclear weapons, Qian Xuesen, who returned to China after hardships and made great contributions to China's aerospace, and Tu Youyou, who won the Nobel Prize, and so on.
There are many, many more, China has a lot of the world's top scientists, the centennial plan education first, it is precisely because of the importance and vigorous training of talents, so that China's development is thriving.
The top 2% of the world's scientists, published by Stanford in conjunction with academic publishers, include the top 2% of the world's scientists.
However, the data on this list does not completely objectively and rationally rank the world's scientists, after all, they are based on a single academic indicator.
But it is undeniable that the scientists on this list have indeed made a lot of contributions to the academic world, and our world is getting better and better because of them.
