Chapter 602 [The Collision of Eastern and Western Sects III]
It seems incredible that just a basin of water and a stick of wood can prove that the earth is rotating, and if it is in the face of a stupid person, I am afraid that even if Bai Dong says it, he will not be able to make the other party believe it.
But who was Aristotle? In the post-Axial era, he is one of the shining stars, a figure that can be compared with Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, and Sakyamuni, for him, Bai Dong only needs to break a layer of window paper, give him a fulcrum, and his imagination can pry up the whole earth.
After observing carefully for a while, Aristotle raised his head and looked at Bai Dong: "You are right, the earth is really rotating." Then he walked around the makeshift dining table a few times, looked at the delicacies on the table, and looked at Ying Si, who was trapped in the room waiting to be fed, and suddenly said: "He is just a child, even if he is to be punished, he should have a full stomach." What's more, there is so much food here, and if you can't eat it all, it will be wasted. ”
"Haha, if Mr. Aristotle is willing to forgive this boy, I will thank him for him. Stinky boy, why don't you come out for dinner? ”
After the grizzled Ying Si came out of the room, he bowed respectfully to Aristotle, and then sat down at the table and chewed on his ass, he saw the response of Taifu and Aristotle, and his heart was happy and relieved: "My Taifu is really the first universe in the world, as soon as his old man makes a casual move, this guy who is afraid of diarrhea Academy will lose immediately, and I will follow Taifu to study carefully, learn all these skills in my hands, and scare my father to death." ”
Aristotle followed suit, but not to eat. Instead, pick up a boiled chicken. Rotate firmly. Let the boiled chicken spin: "Baizi, judging from the experiment of the water basin and the wooden stick, is the earth where we are rotating like this?" ”
Bai Dong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is called the rotation of the earth." ”
"Oh, that's it, the rotation of the earth does not prevent the conclusion that the earth is the center of the universe, just like this chicken, no matter how he rotates. It hasn't really changed its position, so the sun, moon, and stars are just revolving around the earth, yes or no? ”
"Of course not. The sun rises and sets every day, it's all the same, but why is it so hot in summer? And the sun is so cold in winter? Could it be that when the sun revolves around the earth, it also farther and farther away? Mr. Aristotle also studied astronomy, and I believe that he should understand that there is no such law of celestial motion. ”
Bai Dong smiled lightly and said: "So the earth is rotating at the same time, and it is precisely because the earth revolves around the sun that most of the earth's area is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter in the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, and in the extreme south and north, there are two places covered with ice and snow all year round. We can call them 'South Pole' and 'North Pole', and these two places are very unique. It is half a day and half a year dark, and if the South Pole is day, then the North Pole is night, and vice versa. ”
"The earth revolves around the sun? What are the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, Antarctic, North Pole? ”
There is no need to say much about a smart person like Aristotle, just a few key clues are enough for him to make associations and judgments. Aristotle pondered for a moment, repeating the clues given by Bai Dong in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Bai Dong's hand tightly.
Ying Si was taken aback by his sudden move, is this guy going crazy?
"You've been to the South and North Poles?"
"My teacher went there to prove that the earth revolves around the sun."
Today, when astronomical telescopes have not yet been able to produce it, the only evidence that can prove the rotation of the earth is the alternation of the seasons and the anomalies of the north and south poles, because if the sun had revolved around the earth, it would not have been possible to have such a long season and there would not have been a north and south pole.
Bai Dong actually wanted to say that he had been there, but he came out of the mountain too early and his reputation was too great, and his every move would attract the attention of the world. Pushing everything to the elusive cheap teacher Guiguzi is the smartest thing to do.
"I must go and see for myself if I have the chance!"
Aristotle clenched his fists, and his resolute expression made Bai Dong a little ashamed, feeling that he really shouldn't harm others like this, and hurriedly said: "I advise Mr. not to go easily, those two places are covered with ice and snow all year round, and the climate is extremely cold, and there are countless terrifying giant beasts on the sea, and it will be life-threatening to go." ”
"How can your teacher go?"
"Hehe, my teacher is a strange person, he knows everything from a hundred schools, he is good at everything, and he has a great martial arts, well, in the words of your Greeks, he is a hero! How can ordinary people compare such characters? ”
"Is there still such a person in the world? I will definitely visit if I have the chance. I wonder where this sage is now? ”
"Only in this mountain, Yunshen doesn't know where to go, don't talk about my teacher, it's not easy for me, a student, to meet his old man now. Let's talk about natural science, by the way, Mr. said that two objects of different weights fell from the air at the same time, and it must be the one with the greater weight that landed first, which I don't dare to agree with, we must discuss this issue clearly, otherwise it will not be good to teach the students badly, and we Orientals call this a misguided child. ”
Hearing that Aristotle was going to see Guiguzi, Bai Dong was trembling, this cheap teacher hadn't even seen him, how could he bring a Greek hairy man to meet him? So immediately diverted the topic. The last way to get Aristotle's attention is to attack his false arguments, anyway, this guy is a tragedy, and in middle and high school physics classes, teachers often use it as a negative teaching material to educate students, from philosophy to natural science, to biology, botany, logic, mathematics, and even think that trees grow by eating dirt
"Am I mistaken?"
Aristotle stood up with a stiff neck and looked at Bai Dong like a fighting: "Why do you say that?" Do you think that if you throw a feather and an iron ball from a height of 100 feet at the same time, they will hit the ground at the same time? ”
The fallacy that dominated physics for two millennia was not only the one that Aristotle took as the truth, but all the Athenian scholars took it as the truth.
Scholars like Aristotle naturally read the works of the Oriental sages, and he admitted that these Oriental sages had many unique views on philosophy, and that they had their strengths and weaknesses with Greek philosophy, but when it came to the study of natural sciences, Greece could definitely be ahead of the Oriental China.
What's more, it's Bai Dong, a person who is a few years younger than him? He dared to question his theory of fame, and dared to say that he was misleading? (To be continued.) )
