祝贺富兰克·威尔切克教授荣获2004年度诺贝尔物理学奖 Congratulations Frank for the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics G.X.Peng 彭 光 雄 P.O.Box 918-4, Beijing 100039, gxpeng@ihep.ac.cn, 86-10-88233565 美国东部时间2004年10月5日凌晨，麻省理工学院(MIT)的富兰克·威尔切克教授接到来自瑞典斯德哥尔摩的电话，得知与另外两位美国科学家，加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的戴维·格罗斯和加州工学院的戴维·玻利策，同获2004年度诺贝尔物理学奖 。MIT立刻在当日上午召开了新闻发布会。 MIT物理系和理论物理中心下午为富兰克举行庆功宴。新闻发布会已由媒体广泛报道。庆功宴带有内部性质，外界相对知之较少。适逢笔者在MIT理论物理中心从事访问研究工作，有幸亲历了这一科学界的盛事。后面的一组镜头记录了这一难忘的时刻。 In the early morning of 5 Oct. 2004, Professor Frank Wilczek of MIT was informed by phone from Stockholm of Sweden that he won the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics, together with David J. Gross of California University at Santa Barbara, and H. David Politzer of the California Institute of Technology. A press conference was immediately held at MIT in the morning, and a celebration reception was organized by the Department of Physics and the Center for Theoretical Physics in the afternoon. The former has been well reported by the media while the later is comparatively not so well-known to the public. Being a visiting scientist at the MIT-CTP, I was lucky to participate in the reception. The pictures here record this great moment of the scientific community. 道可道，非常道，名可名，非常名。无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母。故常无，欲以观其妙；常有，欲以观其徼。此两者，同出而异名，同谓之玄；玄之又玄，众妙之门。
Good news: Frank is coming 庆功宴下午4时开始。人们兴奋地互相转告：富兰克来了！
He is very happy and relieved! 他很高兴，也感到宽慰。
Thanks all! 谢谢大家。
