Chapter 331: Beat the master and become the apprentice! Touching porcelain and Guangxiang? Science is not truth?
The meeting finally reached its climax.
Li Qiwei will debate head-on with big names in various fields.
And there are no restrictions on questions and angles.
The difficult and difficult problems of the philosopher Russell were easily solved.
Everyone knows that Bruce is not just a scientific talent who can only do research and publish papers, but a man full of wisdom.
Science and wisdom are not the same words.
Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan sat in the crowd, watching Li Qiwei look down on the world on the stage, standing out from the crowd.
The pride in my heart is beyond words, and my eyes are almost wired.
Big Brother Situ said with a smile: "Brother and sister, you have really good taste."
"Brother Qiwei, you have found such an outstanding man."
Wang Luyao felt happy when he heard this.
Which Chinese abroad are not submissive, and their momentum weakened before they opened their mouths.
But her husband, on the European and American territory, stood proudly and crushed everyone.
This scene made the educational inspection team from China look dumbfounded.
"My dear, when did foreigners become so easy to talk to?"
"Aren't they all superior to others and disdain to talk to us?"
"How to face Principal Li, just say "It's like wilting."
One of the middle-aged people sighed: "Hey, this is strength."
"As long as you have extraordinary strength, others will respect you."
"Our Four Books and Five Classics cannot produce guns and cannons, but foreign science can create more advanced weapons."
"This is the gap."
"In a world where the jungle prevails, everything is a False, only strength is real.”
Everyone around him felt sad in his heart.
But then, they looked excitedly at the dazzling man on the stage.
At least, there is hope.
Because that man is a purebred Chinese man.
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Qiwei on the podium in front of him.
Not only did his height of 1.8 meters not make him look small in the auditorium, but he was so domineering that he enveloped the entire venue with coercion.
At this time, someone finally broke the pressure and stood up.
"Hello, Professor Bruce, my name is Wittgenstein, and I am a student of Professor Russell."
Wow!
The crowd instantly became commotion.
Wittgenstein, who is in his twenties, is unknown at the moment.
But his question means that the teacher loses and the students take over.
It was very interesting to those present.
Usually it’s the younger ones who get older, but I didn’t expect it to be the other way around today.
This young man looks very unusual.
It can be seen from Russell's approving eyes that in the world of philosophy, this Wittgenstein is probably as good as Bohr.
Li Qiwei was also startled.
The famous Wittgenstein.
In real history, it is said that even Russell could not understand the doctoral dissertation of this big man, and he could only pass the defense in the end.
Wittgenstein's life was legendary and he was called by Russell "the most perfect example of a genius".
He is passionate, deep, fiery and dominant.
Wittgenstein also studied engineering and mathematics.
He has strong attainments in logic.
Most philosophers in this era would minor in a little mathematics in order to develop their logic.
Of course, specialized logic courses are also essential.
The logic here is not the chicken soup-like brain teasers of later generations.
It is a highly professional academic book.
Specialized in training people's thinking ability.
There are so many gongs in later generations, which has a lot to do with the lack of logic.
Li Qiwei searched for information in his mind and said with a smile: "Hello, Wittgenstein."
"Please tell me your questions."
Wittgenstein Although I am new to the industry, I am not at all stage frightened.
His father was a steel tycoon and his mother was the daughter of a banker and writer.
Hayek, Li Qiwei’s favorite economist in his previous life, was Wittgenstein’s mother’s elder.
Therefore, with Wittgenstein's family background, he could remain quite calm even on such occasions, at least not particularly nervous.
"Professor Bruce, I have a question about general relativity."
"In general relativity, you boldly guessed that the essence of gravity is the curvature of space-time."
"Then why can't we think about it the other way around? The curvature of space-time is actually caused by gravity."
"Gravity exists first, then gravity makes space-time curve, and finally the curved space-time acts on objects."
Wow!
Wittgenstein's question surprised the big guys present.
Even physics giants such as Thomson and Planck feel that this problem is very advanced.
This reminded them of the question Bruce said the day before yesterday.
Physicists still have not yet understood the nature of force.
The force that people talk about in daily life is more like a form of expression rather than the force itself.
But not many people have this kind of insight.
“This young man named Wittgenstein has something, I am afraid he is a genius in the world of philosophy.”
"What's rare is that he directly questioned the general theory of relativity itself. I'm afraid he also did research in private."
"Philosophers these days don't learn a little bit of natural science knowledge, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along."
"The crude philosophical system of Aristotle's time is outdated."
"I have read Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason", and I feel that it cannot be written by humans. ”
Everyone was talking about it.
Today's meeting truly lived up to its reputation and was of extremely high quality.
Let everyone present swim in the ocean of wisdom and enjoy the fun of human reason.
After listening to Wittgenstein's question, Li Qiwei smiled slightly.
He is indeed a future boss, he was sharp enough when he was young.
It has been more than ten years since Li Qiwei came to this world.
I have met many famous bosses in later generations.
He had to admit the fact that awesome people were awesome when they were young.
There is no such thing as a person who is stupid when he is young and suddenly becomes enlightened when he is old.
A long history of accumulation may just be the fantasy of those with mediocre talents.
The reason why the big guys give people the impression that they have accumulated a lot of experience is because the career they pursue is too difficult.
It is so difficult that even with their intelligence, it will take a long time to accumulate.
An ordinary person would probably not be able to do it in a few lifetimes.
I have to say that this is a cruel fact.
No wonder great scientists are so precious.
Of course, Li Qiwei is now a super boss in the eyes of others.
Although Wittgenstein was awesome, in his eyes, it was not enough.
“Excellent question, Wittgenstein.”
“I have to say that Professor Russell has accepted a good student.”
“This question of yours is actually Very good answer, but the meaning behind it is more interesting. "
"The reason why the relationship between gravity and space-time cannot be reversed is because it is not feasible in mathematics."
"If you study my mathematical derivation process in depth, you should find this."
"And according to this assumption, then electromagnetic force will usher in new problems."
"In order to maintain the unity of electromagnetic force and gravity, I deliberately used the concept of gravitational field."
"Just to put the two forces in the same position."
"Because this is We physicists have a profound understanding of the rules of the universe, that is, the world must be perfect.”
"Your question reflects the difference between science and philosophy."
"It's like having an apple. No matter how philosophers describe its shape, color, and projection."
"It doesn't work. A true reflection of the essence of an apple.”
“You can only correctly understand this apple by taking a bite, tasting its taste, and studying its internal composition.”
“This is us. What physicists do.”
boom!
Everyone was shocked by Li Qiwei's answer.
Sounds like plain words, but they contain wit.
Although many people present were confused, they didn’t realize it was serious.
Vaguely, they felt something, but they couldn't grasp it.
Especially the philosophers were extremely surprised.
It doesn’t matter that Bruce is awesome at physics, he actually has such a deep understanding of philosophy.
Is this fucking human?
“God, how did Bruce’s brain grow?”
“Although he only spoke briefly, I can feel his depth, like The secluded seabed of 10,000 meters. ”
"This man is so scary."
Many physicists smiled knowingly. They felt that what Bruce said was too lethal. "Haha, the subtext of Bruce is that philosophers can only talk in vain, but they will be dumbfounded when they actually pick up a pen to calculate."
"Who can't describe the truth in words? You said it's white Yes, I’ll just say it’s red.”
“You can’t argue with me anyway, because I can always make my own logic.”
"No one knows the absolute truth about what color an apple is."
"Then everyone can come up with different opinions."
"But we physicists are different, we just take a bite , it’s equivalent to taking an instrument to measure it, it’s very clear.”
At this moment, Wittgenstein was a little dumbfounded.
My question may seem clever, but in fact it cannot stand up to scrutiny.
Turns out Bruce had already tried it.
Unfortunately, although he is smart, he is still far from understanding the mathematical part of general relativity.
I don’t know how to refute even if I want to refute it.
He didn't even know if what Li Qiwei said was true.
Maybe others just said it casually.
But Wittgenstein himself could not prove it.
Because I can’t understand it.
This is also the reason why later generations of scientists like to argue against Newton's law and special theory of relativity.
General relativity is obviously more famous, why don’t they overturn it.
Because it requires college to learn, and high school knowledge is not enough.
At this moment, Wittgenstein was a little anxious.
After all, he was young and vigorous. Suddenly, he questioned out of nowhere:
"Professor Bruce, do you mean that philosophy is not the real truth, and only science is the truth?"
Boom!
At this moment, the auditorium completely exploded.
Everyone was shocked by Wittgenstein's doubts.
Even Russell was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the pipe in his hand.
This question is a bit heartbreaking.
"Young people are indeed young people. They can't hold their breath. How can such an issue be discussed openly?"
"If Bruce said yes, wouldn't it offend all philosophy majors? ”
"But if he says no, it would be a bit inconsistent with what he just said."
"In short, this question is a bit too embarrassing."
Wittgenstein had just finished speaking. , he also regretted it a little, he felt that he was a little reckless.
He was just about to explain when Russell suddenly took his hand and signaled him to stop talking.
At this time, just let it go. The more you explain, the bigger the problem will be.
The scene suddenly erupted in whispers.
Li Qiwei was also stunned. No wonder later generations commented that this boss was passionate and fiery.
This kind of temperament really goes its own way.
But Li Qiwei quite likes this kind of character, it is very similar to him.
Any bullshit philosophy or science that is not allowed to be questioned is garbage.
Li Qiwei never cared about others questioning the theory of relativity. On the contrary, the more people who questioned the theory, the happier he was.
Because as long as both parties are reasonable, you will definitely be able to reach a consensus.
Because right and wrong are absolute.
Li Qiwei lightly raised his right hand, pressed it in the air, and said with a smile:
"Very good, this is what young people should look like. I like this kind of unabashed character, Don’t be afraid of authority.”
"Wittgenstein, your question is very good."
"I know that in the field of philosophy, there are many insights into truth, and there are a vast number of related books."
"But I want to start from a physics Let’s talk about this issue from the perspective of a scientist.”
“I think the theory of relativity, or general relativity, is not true.”
Boom!
Everyone in the house was shocked.
No one expected that Li Qiwei would say such a thing.
The general theory of relativity that shocked the whole world turned out to be not the truth.
What else is the truth?
Even physics giants such as Thomson and Planck looked incredulous.
Don’t they study physics just to get the truth?
Why did Bruce say that the theory of relativity is not true?
What other theories in physics are worthy of the name of truth?
Everyone suppressed the shock in their hearts and waited for Li Qiwei’s next words.
Everyone believes that Bruce is definitely not a sensationalist or a person who belittles himself.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Qiwei continued:
"The truth I am talking about refers to the most essential purity of the universe. It does not necessarily have to be what we humans can understand."
"Both science and philosophy are nothing but a theoretical system for studying truth."
"In layman's terms, science is a means of pursuing truth, not the truth itself."
>"Our world is colorful just because our eyes can only receive visible light images."
"If there is a creature that can see X-rays or microwaves that exceed red light, then the world it sees will be completely different from ours."
"The world in their eyes is bizarre in human eyes, and the same is true for us The same is true for the world in their eyes."
"Which one is the real world?"
"Of course, some people may say that no matter which world, it is always the human eye. The reaction of electromagnetic waves."
"This truth is immutable."
"This idea is correct."
"But what is the nature of electromagnetic waves, at least we can't figure it out for the time being."
"We can only describe electromagnetic waves in a way that we can understand. "No one knows what the curvature of space-time is for general relativity."
"But we can use mathematical tools to describe this kind of space-time." Nature.”
“But is this necessarily the nature of the universe?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Human beings can only create theories that humans can understand.”
“Physics You can only get infinitely close to the truth.”
“In a magical world, studying the application and essence of magic is also science.”
"Believing that science is truth and cannot be questioned is the biggest pseudoscience."
"I know that there is a debate between agnosticism and agnosticism in philosophy."
"But, I don't Don't care."
"Even if we can't see the whole truth, we still have to get a glimpse of its mysterious corner."
"As a physicist, my goal is to reach the limits of human beings. ”
"Even if the end of science is still far away from the truth, I will still go on."
At the end of his sentence, Li Qiwei suddenly raised his right hand with a firm look on his face, and he almost roared loudly:
"Because, I will always believe in humans and miracles."
"Although truth lasts forever, wisdom is also infinite!"
Boom!
As if a supernova exploded, the light swept across the entire auditorium.
Everyone was shocked by Li Qiwei's domineering and determination.
What kind of perseverance and enthusiasm is that?
The pursuit of pure science to the extreme.
Bruce is the leader, the seeker, the infinite!
"God, is this what Professor Bruce thinks? No wonder he can publish the general theory of relativity."
"With this courage, he deserves to be the first."
"He Rationally, he clearly understands the gap between human beings and the truth; but he is also emotional, and even if there is nothingness ahead, he still has to find a way himself. "
"Although physics is only a theoretical system for studying truth, it is still very important. As far as humans are concerned, it is the truth.”
“The truth that Professor Bruce said is the realm of the Creator.”
"As long as there are countless great sages like Professor Bruce, I do not believe that mankind will never be able to uncover the mystery of truth."
The excitement and enthusiasm of the people in the audience fell on Wittgenstein's ears, It was like an explosion.
There was a surge of blood in his heart.
“It turns out that Professor Bruce has never had any prejudice against philosophy.”
“He just thinks that science is easier to get closer to the truth than philosophy, so he chose science.”
< br>
"Philosophy is how humans explain the universe and truth from another perspective."
At this moment, Wittgenstein felt a sense of enlightenment.
At the same time, his admiration for Li Qiwei could not be increased.
There are flames jumping in the eyes.
This is the real top human being.
Wittgenstein never recognized others easily. Even many famous emperors and generals were just trash in his eyes.
He doesn't like dealing with those people.
But Li Qiwei completely conquered him from heart to knowledge.
He smiled respectfully at Li Qiwei and sat down.
At this time, Li Qiwei suddenly smiled again and said: "Of course, just because I said so much does not mean that I personally like philosophy."
"I still prefer physics more. I like doing laboratories and calculations, not debating."
Ha!
The sound of laughter sounded in the auditorium.
Bruce can always end with his humor at the most appropriate place.
We invite the next genius boss.
