November 19, 2018 |
Read More【「次震宇宙館」實體捐贈儀式】 由廣達電腦副董事長兼總經理梁次震博士捐贈的「次震宇宙館」在104年開始動工興建，進展迅速，兩年內就已經基本完成，在去年（106）11月舉行了盛大的落成典禮。之後持續優化各項設施，現在終於可以正式啟用了。11月15日在台大慶祝九十周年校慶的當天下午，臺大舉行了簡單隆重的「次震宇宙館」實體捐贈儀式。 十一年來台大梁次震中心成長迅速，已經在國際間達到一定的聲望。臺大代理校長郭大維在捐贈儀式上代表臺大由衷的感謝梁次震的遠見及無私的捐贈。梁副董事長表示：能夠幫助臺大爭取在宇宙學領域做出貢獻，與有榮焉。中心主任陳丕燊教授致詞時特別用『涓滴之恩，當報涌泉』來感謝梁副董及台大多年來的支持。 次震宇宙館剛落成就喜事連連。由國際知名的姚仁喜建築師設計的「次震宇宙館」最近在著名的「世界建築節」（World Architecture Festival） 2018高教組大獎中脫穎而出，進入決選。而中心主任陳丕燊教授更榮獲著名的法國巴斯卡講座。陳丕燊在捐贈儀式致詞時表示，他將繼續帶領梁次震中心在這棟美輪美奐的大樓裡，做出更多的學術貢獻。 【諾貝爾獎梶田教授科普講座】 臺大很榮幸邀請到2015諾貝爾獎得主、東京大學梶田隆章教授親臨見證捐贈儀式。梶田教授並於儀式後在館內進行科普講座：『透過微中子與重力波來揭開宇宙的神秘面紗』，除了郭代校長、梁副董事長、臺大師生之外、社會人士也非常踴躍出席。梶田教授從以他諾貝爾獎宇宙微中子的發現，及他目前主持的KAGRA重力波觀測站為例，分享他的研究成果。他深入淺出的介紹讓全體觀眾受益匪淺。 # NTU Facebook News Click here to see more photos

臺大陳丕燊教授以研究類比黑洞 榮獲法國巴斯卡講座
November 1, 2018 |
Read More國立臺灣大學梁次震宇宙學講座教授兼「梁次震宇宙學與粒子天文物理學中心」主任陳丕燊最近獲得世界著名的法國巴斯卡講座（Blaise Pascal Chair）殊榮（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal_Chair）。從1996年起，「法蘭西島」（Ile de France −即大巴黎地區）政府設置巴斯卡講座，獎助國際頂尖學者至大巴黎地區的高等教育院校擔任講座並主持尖端研究，每年在自然科學、生命科學、社會科學、人文四大領域中選拔四位國際頂尖學者擔任講座。成立至今，已有多位巴斯卡講座獲獎者榮獲諾貝爾獎、沃爾夫獎（Wolf Prize）等榮譽，所以迅速成為國際學術界的重量級獎項。 布萊茲。巴斯卡（1623-1662）是十七世紀法國的數學家、物理學家、化學家、氣象學家、音樂家、教育家、哲學家、神學家。他並且是歷史上第一個發明計算機的人，是一位多才多藝的「文藝復興人」（Renaissance Man)。法國政府以巴斯卡來命名這個函蓋多領域學術的講座，十分恰當。 巴斯卡講座主辦單位宣布（https://www.iledefrance.fr/toutes-les-actualites/chaires-blaise-pascal-2018-les-4-nouveaux-laureats-designes），陳丕燊教授將以巴斯卡講座的身份，「在法國高等綜合理工大學（École Polytechnique）的超強雷射實驗室（LULI）主持類比黑洞的實驗，模擬黑洞蒸發晚期，來檢驗信息是否會隨「黑洞蒸發」而遺失。」這個實驗的理論構想是他與今年（2018）諾貝爾物理獎得主傑拉。慕儒（Gerard Mourou）教授於2017年所共同提出，以超高功率雷射射進有密度梯度的電漿靶中，打造加速的「飛翔鏡」（flying mirror）做為類比黑洞，來探索黑洞霍京蒸發是否導致信習遣失的問題。這個「信息遺失悖論」暗示愛因思坦的廣義相對論和量子力學－二十世紀兩大物理學革命－之間，可能存在矛盾。霍京（Stephen Hawking）及當代最聰明的物理學家們爭辯了40年而仍然沒有解決。陳丕燊教授表示：「去年我和慕儒提出這個概念之後，我就立即組織了一個國際合作團隊AnaBHEL (Analog Black Hole Evaporation via Lasers)，以實驗來檢驗這個悖論。很榮幸能夠得到巴斯卡講座的肯定，這讓我能夠進一步推動AnaBHEL實驗。」 卄多年來巴斯卡講座得主大約100位，其中絕大多數都是歐美國家學者的天下，在亞洲地區只有日本曾經有一兩位獲獎，陳丕燊教授則是台灣第一位獲獎者。今年的四位巴斯卡講座得主，兩位來自美國，一位來自歐洲希臘（在德國任教），而提到陳丕燊教授時，則註明他來自台灣的國立台灣大學。這不但是他個人的榮譽，也是台大及我國的光榮。
