Abstract: We introduce the achievements for which 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded,and describe the scientific background,history,current status and future,emphasizing the physical implications and biological sources,exposing the connections that were less known,including those among different disciplines and among scientists,indicating many different factors in the development of sciences. It is noted that the achievements winning this prize characterize the success of physics in understanding intelligence,and were initiative practice and triumph of statistical physics and emergentism. The future of physics will exist in various new forms.

Key words: Nobel Prize in physics, neural network, machine learning, statistical physics, emergentism
