Regarding the original code obtained from Hehuan Ling, Ye Feng's learning was not as easy as before. Because when I learned new things in the past, I always based them on relatively accurate things that have been verified by countless predecessors. Those so-called new things are all within the known and established framework, so Ye Feng naturally learns them very quickly.
But Ye Feng is also a human being, and this is reflected in the learning of the original code. When it comes to learning the original code, Ye Feng has a "predecessor", that is "Tian". But it is impossible for "Heaven" to teach yourself. After all, the purpose of learning by yourself is to master the original code, and to replace "Heaven". Therefore, unless "Tian"'s brain is about to be kicked away by a donkey, it is possible to teach himself the complete and correct usage of the original code. In this case, the only thing left is to find the original code yourself and secretly study and learn this way.
As far as the virtual world is concerned at this moment, Ye Feng is the first person to study the original code, and he is currently the only "predecessor", but there is no way around this. At this time, Ye Feng could only learn the original code completely by himself.
Based on the many "original code samples" collected previously, we conducted multi-angle observations, summarized the characteristics, and then put forward hypotheses and deductions to try to build a system. Then use this system to study the next batch of new "samples". During this period, it is inevitable that the assumptions and systems that have been worked so hard to come up with will be overturned. But this is the most normal, and it is also the happiest time for Ye Feng, because every time the previous assumption is overturned, it proves that Ye Feng is one step closer to the correct usage of the original code.
Does this process sound familiar to you? Yes, that’s right, this is the epitome of scientific progress and development. And it is constantly being overturned. This is called falsification. This is the valuable thing about science. The valuable thing about Ye Feng’s research is also the rare thing about Ye Feng’s research. Although Ye Feng has a scientific research spirit, he has never been superstitious about science. Otherwise, how could he realize his Taoist aspirations?
Science just happened to be mentioned, so let’s talk about science.
First of all, we must make it clear that science is by no means the truth. This sentence was not said by Ye Yu, but by Einstein. Science is nothing more than a direction and angle we use to describe and study the world. It can also be said to be a mental model. In addition to science, there are many thinking models, including philosophy and metaphysics. So essentially, science has the same status as philosophy and metaphysics.
Again, science is not the truth, and science may be wrong. It is falsifiable, which means it has the possibility of being overturned, and it can be verified. Metaphysics like constellations can only be said to be reasonable no matter what, but there is no way to design an experiment to actually overturn it. Compared with metaphysics, the most valuable thing about science is that it can be falsified. Because once it is falsified, it will inevitably lead to scientific progress. However, metaphysics is destined to stand still from the day it was born. In the race between the tortoise and the hare, Ye Feng believes that even if the tortoise lags behind in current science, as long as he doesn't stop, he will definitely surpass the metaphysical hare who stopped to rest and reach the finish line first.
The scientific spirit is the spirit of skepticism, so if a person has a scientific spirit, then he should not regard "whether it is scientific" as the only criterion for judging things. Otherwise, it is not a scientific spirit, but scientific superstition. Yes, it is what we have been opposed to before. "superstition".
Science has been disproven countless times. To put it bluntly, the history of scientific progress is the history of old science being constantly overturned by new science. At first, everyone thought Newton was right, but once Einstein came along, he was no longer useful in some places. When the general theory of relativity was proposed, it should have been correct a long time ago, but it is not necessarily true. It is also incorrect in many large-scale cosmic issues.
Let’s talk about some interesting examples. What do you think Compendium of Materia Medica is? Is it metaphysics? Is it pseudoscience? So can it be falsified just by looking at the Compendium of Materia Medica? Obviously, it is statistically falsifiable. Because the Compendium of Materia Medica says "what medicine can cure what" and "what diseases cannot be taken." In principle, wouldn’t it be possible to falsify it by finding a large number of cases for experiments? Statistically, it is possible to verify the results in the Compendium of Materia Medica. Moreover, Li Shizhen didn't write it blindly. It was all the result of his experiments and even trying the medicine on his own body. Why is it science to test medicine on mice, but not science when people test medicine on themselves? Is a human worse than a mouse? Is your fucking medicine for rats? However, the Compendium of Materia Medica uses an inductive method, not the deductive method of Western medicine, and cannot find the logical reasoning relationship between medicines and diseases. The Compendium of Materia Medica is purely a statistical rule. So Compendium of Materia Medica is certainly not pseudoscience, it is empirical science.
So what is pseudoscience? For example, drinking water from a magnetized cup is healthier. This standard is vague, and something that cannot be falsified in the name of science is pseudoscience. When promoting, you also need to mention scientists from a certain country. This is a proper IQ tax.
To sum up, scientific things are not necessarily right, and unscientific things are not necessarily wrong. Science is far less powerful and omnipotent than you think, and science is not worthy of your superstition. Our feeling when studying science is that the more you learn, the more you find you don’t know, so Newton and Einstein ended up studying theology. But it is precisely the flaws and shortcomings of science that are the most valuable part of science - it can always be verified, and there is always room for improvement. This is the real reason why Ye Feng advocates and loves science. It helps us point to truth, to the Word, but science is by no means a placebo that gives us the illusion of truth.
You may want to jump out and retort here, isn’t Ye Feng’s Chaos Yuan Qi cultivation system also a metaphysics? Maybe you don't remember, but many of Ye Feng's cultivation systems are constructed in a scientific spirit and in a modern scientific and reasonable way. For example, when Ye Feng was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he referred to the rational planning of architecture. There were many examples later, so I won’t give them one by one here. If you are interested, you can check them out by yourself. Therefore, Ye Feng's cultivation system is a personal creation that is unprecedented and unprecedented. Because of the integration of science, his cultivation system has infinite possibilities for development. And this is also the reason why Ye Feng can become infinitely stronger.
Therefore, although not having spiritual roots is a disaster for Ye Feng, as the saying goes, "Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the back of misfortune."
Just when Ye Feng was studying the original code on the Albizia Bell with great interest, Ye Feng suddenly frowned because he felt that there was someone waiting outside the barrier. After knowing who the visitor was, Ye Feng also sighed deeply and had to retreat from the dream space, disappearing in an instant.
