Greard, the president of the University of Paris, couldn't help but said: "I heard the president of the Royal Society said that Li Yu is a person who can bring surprises at any time. Today's meeting is extraordinary. This speech can be called one of the most successful speeches of the year! "
Li Yu actually had more on his mind:
Since the Middle Ages, science and theology have been fighting for hundreds of years. In the past, theology had always been superior and had the absolute right to speak. Even the earliest universities were basically church universities.
This can be seen from some of the names that have been passed down to this day: such as the famous Trinity College of Cambridge University. What is "Trinity"? Isn't it the Trinity in doctrine, that is, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit become one.
In the past, theology relied on theories that could not be refuted to be wrong to control the thinking of the entire Europe, and even sold jaw-dropping "indulgences": as soon as the coin rings, your sins are eliminated.
But can you prove this is wrong?
you can not!
If you are still suffering, the church will say that your heart is not sincere enough and you need to pay more!
Many theological theories are not falsifiable at all, and were very confusing to people in the Middle Ages, because the people at the bottom could indeed see a few people giving a lot of money and then becoming rich and powerful. Then the church tried its best to publicize one or two successful special cases, saying that this is correct, and everyone should hurry up and buy indulgences!
Then the church raised its sickle high and easily harvested the green leeks that had been growing for thousands of years!
Don't you think it's funny?
Not funny at all! Countless people are still falling for this scam in the 21st century.
Therefore, when you look at any confusing statement and want to distinguish between right and wrong, you only need to think about whether it can be proven wrong, and you can avoid many detours.
Don't listen to some success masters who use one or two successful examples to promote brainwashing. Such statements are very dangerous! Because if you fail, he only needs one sentence to kill you: success is my credit, failure can only be because you didn't do enough. As for what is enough, it is just metaphysics, there is no standard at all.
Since the extinction of ancient Greece, theology has ruled mankind for thousands of years, and during the millennia of suppression, science has been gathering power in dark corners.
It was not until the Renaissance that the sparks left by ancient Greece thousands of years ago were finally discovered in the burnt ashes.
So science also began to revive.
But it was a difficult fire to burn, and from time to time basins of theological cold water were poured on it.
To this day, although science has conquered the city and even completely defeated theology, there are still many people who are superstitious and ignorant.
We can’t say they are stupid, we can only say they are lazy! Lazy to learn, just want to understand the world through simple theological explanations and seek self-comfort.
Regarding science, the most ridiculous sentence I have ever heard is: The end of science is theology.
I was confused, what is this if it's not fart?
If you want to say that the end of science is philosophy, it still has some meaning.
Oh, it took me a long time, but the millennium of credit for science was snatched away by theology in just one sentence?
This is simply six games better than Yuan Shikai’s! At least Lao Yuan has real power in his hands and can mobilize the entire Beiyang Army.
Since the Renaissance, the battle between science and theology remained stalemate until the beginning of the twentieth century.
The so-called rumor-mongering is to open your mouth and refute the rumors.
Science has always followed a broad and upright path; theology, however, only needs to use the illusory God to explain everything, which is simple but extremely confusing.
The theology of the birth of the world can be simply summarized as God creating all things, and even having a day of rest after the hard six days of creation, how pleasant!
How can you prove this?
Can you explain it clearly?
To tell the truth, all I need is one sentence: Can you prove me wrong? Can you prove that God does not exist?
Can you?
Of course not! So this is a typical unfalsifiable!
Science has gone through a lot of hard work to explain the birth of the world, and countless scientists have spent their entire lives doing everything from gravity to the Big Bang, from biological evolution to gene sequencing. But in the 21st century, it has not been fully explained, because science is rigorous, and any unknown details will never be covered up with a false statement.
Li Yu really hated any false theories.
His grandma once had a leg disease many years ago, and then a goddess said she could treat it, and the charge was not high, and she had already cured several people.
But she didn't say that she had cured several people who were disabled.
After a lot of hard work, my grandma was left with permanent bruises!
Li Yu really hated that he was only a few years old at the time. If he were now, he would definitely break her legs! NND, I will treat you too! If it can’t be cured, it means you are not sincere enough!
After listening to the speech, Mrs. Curie seemed to have tears in her eyes. She was a person who could dedicate herself to science, and she indeed fulfilled her promise and dedicated herself to science.
Especially four years later, Pierre Curie died in a car accident, and the departure of her soulmate almost destroyed her. But she soon devoted her life to the study of radiation science, and even had a glimpse of how radioactivity could be used to target cancer.
But unfortunately, she eventually died from the radioactivity she discovered.
Madame Curie had a great love for science. Today, someone could finally explain to her what science is. Naturally, she was extremely excited.
She is a woman who has grown up amid doubts, and now she finally has a weapon that can deal with doubters.
The physics she is engaged in, and of course biology, are the easiest to be questioned by others, because physics and biology are closely related to everyone's lives, everyone has access to them, and many people can casually intervene.
As for mathematics, people don't bother to fight at all, because mathematics is very abstract, and it is completely incomprehensible if it is more advanced. Everyone has seen a few people making rumors about mathematics, but they don’t understand how they can compete with me in mathematics? Needless to say, it’s too complicated. Ask God to solve a partial differential equation for me!
But physics and biology are different. There are always some laypeople who think they understand very well and insist on giving you a few sentences.
The best way to deal with it may be to stay away from them.
Li Yu's speech today was an introduction in advance.
It’s just that science has not fully grown up yet, but it is also a good step to witness that science will continue to be unstoppable and open up thousands of miles in the future.
Pierre Curie, who was sitting next to Madame Curie, even stood up: "Wonderful speech! Advanced theory! It's hard to imagine that you have made such achievements in philosophy in addition to rays, thermodynamics, and astronomy. I, Pierre I would like to call you the star of science!”
The principal was also very satisfied. The compilation and publication of this speech would also allow the French newspaper industry to resist the strong momentum of British newspapers in the field of science during this period.
Li Yu had finished speaking and said: "It's just one family's opinion. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. I'll go down first."
The principal quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, it's rare to come here today, why do I have to answer some questions from my classmates."
Li Yu had no choice but to stay on the stage. The principal said, "If you have any questions, just ask them."
A bunch of hands immediately went up in the audience. Li Yu pointed to a man with a square inch and a mustache and said, "You tell me."
The mustache stood up and said: "Hello, sir! My name is Paul Langevin, and I am a doctoral student who is about to graduate from the University of Paris."
Okay! Li Yu came up and lit another elder on fire!
So it is really not easy to give a speech in this kind of university. You may meet future big names casually.
Langevin was a doctoral student of Pierre Curie, and the Langevin equation was produced by him. He would also be an academician of the French Academy of Sciences in the future, and he also served as the chairman of the Solvay Conference. In addition, he would have a very powerful student in the future: De Broglie.
Ten years later, Langevin would have a small scandal with Madame Curie. It is a pity that in romantic France, aristocrats engage in extramarital affairs every day, but they cannot tolerate the legacy of Madame Curie, just because she is Polish!
Madame Curie had no choice but to stay away from right and wrong, and there was no trouble with Langevin from then on.
——The key is that Madame Curie won another Nobel Prize, which stopped the rumors.
Alas, even though France welcomed the Curies into the French Pantheon in 1995, which symbolizes France's highest honor like Westminster Abbey, it still cannot forget the doubts that Marie Curie faced during her lifetime.
Others may make countless mistakes, but as long as she goes out of her way a little bit, she will be immediately criticized by France.
It’s really difficult!
But that’s all for another day.
Li Yu was most afraid of the elder's questions, so he said, "Dr. Langevin, what questions do you have?"
Langevin is also studying X-rays now, well, rays again! So X-rays were really popular at that time, and a lot of scholars were studying them.
Langevin asked: "I have read your paper, which is also based on atomic theory. I am curious, how to use experiments to explore the existence of atoms?"
Li Yu said: "Many scientists are already studying this issue, and I heard that the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in the UK pays special attention to research in this area. If possible, you can also build a laboratory in our school."
Langevin really looked forward to the establishment of atomic theory, and his later famous research was also based on this.
"I think I'll definitely remember that advice."
Curie seemed to have something to say, but seeing that the students behind him were very enthusiastic, he continued to sit firmly on his chair and continued to watch for a while.
Another student who studies thermodynamics asked: "Excuse me, do you think thermodynamics has reached its peak?"
Li Yu said: "Of course not. Although thermodynamics is relatively complete, its application still has great potential."
Thermodynamics is indeed relatively complete at the theoretical level, and scientists have studied it thoroughly for hundreds of years. But if we say it is completely complete, naturally it has not yet reached that level. As for applications, there will be more in the industry later.
