Yang Xuyang saw that Jiang Xiaoman's expression was a little hesitant, and also added a sentence on the side: "What is Professor Kangda's reputation in China and even in the world, I don't need to say more, Miss Jiang, this is the opportunity given to you by Professor Kangda, you should be grateful, not full of doubts." ”

Jiang Xiaoman's expression couldn't cry or laugh, if she believed Professor Kangda and Yang Xuyang's words, would it be a wise choice or self-deception?

Will wise choices make people lose the bottom line of human nature? If they deceive themselves, how can they not be disadvantaged?

"Xiaoman, all my research is for the progress of mankind. Professor Kangda sighed lightly: "But no one can understand this now, so they think that I am doing forbidden things, this is a kind of ignorance to knowledge, you can't be on the side of ignorance." ”

"You don't think it's crazy. Yang Xuyang smiled slightly: "Some people say that geniuses are crazy, do you know why? What does a madman represent? Is madness the highest state of wisdom? Can you answer this question clearly?"

Yang Xuyang's series of rhetorical questions made Jiang Xiaoman speechless.

"I know you don't have the answer, but I can tell you the answer. Yang continued: "In fact, many psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and psychologists are trying to prove that geniuses and madmen are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. ”

"Mr. Yang is saying that I'm crazy, hahaha. Professor Conda waved his hand, "I don't think I'm a genius. ”

Yang Xuyang smiled slightly: " Geniuses and severe psychopaths are extremely rare, and the definitions of high IQ and high achievement are also very subjective, and now researchers have found that high-achieving students are many times more likely to suffer from mania than the average student, mania may help improve a person's intellectual and academic performance, people with mania are usually, more creative, more able to control language, have a better memory, have a better cognitive advantage in some things, and in a state of madness, people will have extraordinary endurance and sustained concentration. ”

Professor Conda waved his hand, saying nothing more than that.

But Jiang Xiaoman said lightly: "I'm just an ordinary person, a very, very ordinary person, so I have no way to understand your thoughts and the world...... So I beg you, don't involve an ordinary person like me in the world of your genius. ”

"Miss Jiang, please listen to me first. Yang Xuyang said: "If I ask you, are you answering me? I have a question I want to ask you now, if you see a person holding a needle and pricking his own eye, do you think he is a madman or a genius?"

Jiang Xiaoman gave his answer without hesitation: "Of course it's a madman!"

But Newton found out by poking the gap between his eyeball and the bones behind his eye socket in this way, so that he could see spots of different colors. Yang Xuyang shrugged his shoulders: "And he also found that the change in the color of the spots depends on the strength of the needle and the amount of light in the room, fortunately, we don't need to imitate Newton's terrible practice to see the phenomenon we want to see, and now it must be a fool to do this, because as long as you raise your hand a little to rub your eyes, or keep staring at something boring, you can see these so-called spots." ”

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Xiaoman looked at Yang Xuyang puzzled.

"I would say that we now know that the different color spots that Newton saw at that time were derived from the light receptors of the cones, and one of the most important features of the cone cell is that it can sense different wavelengths of light to help us distinguish colors. Yang Xuyang shrugged his shoulders.

"What the hell are you going to say?" Jiang Xiaoman's emotions were a little out of control.

Newton's act of putting pressure on the eyeball with a needle is, in essence, stimulating these cells to give them the illusion that they have been hit by light. But if you think this is the first time Newton has hurt himself in this way, you are very wrong. Because, he also tried to use his own eyes to wake up the afterimage!" Yang Xuyang continued.

Jiang Xiaoman covered his ears: "I don't want to hear it!"

Professor Conda and Rowling did not react.

Professor Conda seemed to know the story, and Rowling should have taken it for granted.

Yang Xuyang obviously didn't care if Jiang Xiaoman wanted to hear it, he only knew that he wanted to finish telling this story.

In order to appreciate this effect, Newton walked into the darkroom with a mirror and looked directly at the reflected light of the sun with his right eye. When he looked away, a spot immediately appeared in front of him, but after a while the spot slowly disappeared. So when the spots disappeared, Newton continued to stare at the reflected light from the sun. When Yang Xuyang said this, a strange smile appeared on his face: "After repeating it many times, Newton finally found that he could only see the light point of the sun whether he closed his right eye and opened his left eye, or opened both eyes at the same time!"

Jiang Xiaoman closed his eyes in pain.

Newton finally realized that the experiment had most likely hurt his eyes. I had to lock myself in a small dark room for three days and three nights, waiting for my vision to begin to recover, and it took several months for my eyes to return to normal!" Yang Xuyang finally finished.

Lunatic!

If a person who has no achievements does this, he will be regarded as a madman!

No, stupid madmen to be exact!

But this stupid and crazy behavior really happened to a super genius in the history of mankind!

"Miss Jiang, I think you can understand my story. Yang Xuyang's voice softened a lot.

Rowling also said to Jiang Xiaoman at the right time: "Actually, the truth that this story tells us is very simple, what we ordinary people think is stupid and crazy behavior, maybe it is the behavior of those super geniuses who want to do something great." ”

"No, I'm not Newton. Jiang Xiaoman still shook his head.

"You're certainly not Newton. Yang Xuyang smiled.

"If you were Newton, you would support what I wanted to do, no, maybe you're doing what I'm going to do now, and I'm your supporter." ”

Jiang Xiaoman has been completely stunned, if she still wanted to stick to her bottom line just now, then now she is already doubting whether her bottom line is wrong.

Jiang Xiaoman can be sure at any time that he is definitely not Newton, he can definitely not be a genius, and he is not even a smart person.

But as an ordinary person, should she really understand and support the crazy actions of these geniuses?

If the person in front of her is Newton now, using the method Yang Xuyang said just now to "abuse" her eyes, Jiang Xiaoman will definitely stop it, she firmly believes that this is a masochistic behavior, even if the masochistic person is Newton, she will also stop it......

Because as an ordinary person, it is impossible to understand this kind of behavior!
