Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Road to Simplicity
At the north end of the first floor of the dark ancient tomb, two men and one woman, three junior heroes of divine power in light armor were walking and talking something.
The defender teased Duan Shaohui, who was holding on to his right hand: "If you don't ask questions, put them aside first, do you let go of your hand first." What are the words of two big men holding hands! ”
"Wasn't I excited!"
Duan Shaohui squeezed out a smile and said.
Then he pretended to be calm and withdrew his hands. However, it is not difficult to see from the posture that he bows his body and is always facing the defender, as long as the other party makes a slight move, he will definitely rush over to stop it as soon as possible.
Seeing this, the defender felt a burst of dark joy in his heart, and he didn't dwell on it too much. casually said: "In order to convince you to lose, I will give you another question and answer question." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Please listen to the question!" Why is the sky black at night? ”
While Du Xiaopan was contemplating and thinking, Duan Shaohui raised his right hand excitedly, "Haha!" He laughed and said, "I know, it's dark because the sun is setting!" That's a simple question! ”
"It can't be that simple, right?"
Du Xiaopan muttered to himself: "After the sun goes down, there are still moons and stars." Normally, the sky should be lit up by them, but why is it still dark? ”
“…… Is that so? ”
Duan Shaohui's eyes widened and he groaned.
Seeing that they were both in deep profundity, the defenders secretly said that although this question may seem simple, it has puzzled countless famous scientists in Europe for nearly 300 years, and has been debated since the beginning of the 18th century, and it was not until the end of the 20th century that the real answer was finally found.
The reason for correcting it is because this problem is too simple, so simple that it is easy to mislead people's thinking and get into the wrong way, resulting in results similar to the one Du Xiaopan just analyzed.
Once this conclusion is reached, it is necessary to use a large amount of knowledge in physics and mathematics to prove the problem.
For example, calculating the radio band, near-infrared band, visible light band, X-ray band, γ-ray band, and so on is a series of cumbersome and complex problems.
Even on Earth, it is difficult for a person who has a calculator and is familiar with the relevant formulas and theorems to come up with the correct answer for a while. What's more, it is engraved on the Marfa continent in a period similar to the feudal slave society on Earth. Therefore, seeing that the two of them went astray, he was very sure in his heart.
Sure enough, after a long while, the two of them, who were puzzled, looked at the defender in a daze, and the eyes were obviously urging him to announce the answer.
"Well, you don't have to look at me like that, I said yes!"
The vindication spread his hands. Then came the answer that the European scientists eventually came up with, "The reason why the night sky is black is because it has too little energy." ”
With their still puzzled expressions, they continued, "Simply put, there is not enough light source. ”
And again: "If we compare the night sky to the ancient tomb in which we are located, the stars to candles, and the moon to torches." So, although it is difficult to illuminate the tomb with a torch or a candle, a thousand? What about 10,000? As long as it keeps increasing, there will always be a time to illuminate the ancient tombs. So, too few light sources are the reason why the night sky is dark! ”
Du Xiaopan paused, nodded slightly, and sighed: "I can't imagine that such a simple question and answer actually contains such a profound truth!" ”
"The so-called road to simplicity is exactly that!"
The defender also sighed from the side.
"It's similar to my answer to 'the sun goes down and it gets dark'!"
Duan Shaohui was unconvinced.
Then he lowered his head and pinched his fingers and calculated, "Think about it, if the stars were as bright as the sun at night, would the sky still be dark?" I don't think so! ”
"So, you don't have to add more light sources to light up the sky, as you said. I think that increasing the brightness of the existing light source can also illuminate the sky! ”
After listening to his theory, the two people next to him looked at him with incredible eyes.
The vindication was even more sure that his brother was definitely wise and lucky, otherwise he would not be able to explain the fact that he had been beaten crookedly many times. His explanation is just another answer to this question.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Duan Shaohui, who had just raised his head, wondered, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"No, quite the opposite!" The vindication patted him on the broad and sturdy shoulder, and praised him from the bottom of his heart: "Congratulations! You got it right! You've answered this question in a different way! ”
Du Xiaopan also looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Really?"
Duan Shaohui couldn't believe his ears, he was talking nonsense according to the original idea, but he didn't expect to be right. He looked at the defender on the left and Du Xiaopan on the right, enjoying the feeling of being praised and noticed now.
Then he suppressed the excitement of the moment, pretended not to hear clearly, and confirmed again: "You say it again? ”
"You got it right! Congratulations! The vindication didn't care, and smiled and praised him again.
"Do it again!"
"You got it right!"
"Again, again!"
"I'll fight!"
"Hahaha!"
Duan Shaohui, who had already learned to rape, had already prepared and jumped to Du Xiaopan's side with a flick of his stomach, and the latter was used as a shield to avoid the straight punches and pursuits of the defenders.
Clapped his hands with high fives, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "I'll just say, we grew up together, I have also read the books you have read, and I must understand the truth you understand!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "What is this truth called?" That's right, it's called Dao Zhijian! I understand! ”
When others saw him, they didn't hide it, they said it when they wanted to, and laughed when they wanted to laugh, but they were all infected and embarrassed.
The vindication wasn't sure if Duan Shaohui really understood what it meant to be "the way to simplicity," but he was sure that the scientists in Europe certainly didn't understand it, and they didn't understand Chinese culture, otherwise they wouldn't have been bothered by the problem for more than 300 years.
Because as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu answered this question, and it is recorded in Chapter 77 of the Tao Te Ching, "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with more than loss."
This sentence clearly reveals the essence of the law of nature, that is, what is reduced is surplus, and what is not replenished is insufficient. It embodies the movement of energy from the high end to the low end in order to achieve a dynamic equilibrium state.
Who would have thought that more than 2,500 years ago, Lao Tzu explained why the sun shines into the universe in the form of energy movement. A little extension from this point of view can lead to the answer to the above question.
There are many more examples like this.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mozi's core idea was "love and non-aggression", and he believed that the phenomenon of strong stubbornness and weakness, rich insulting the poor, and arrogance and cheapness in society was caused by the fact that people in the world did not love each other.
If we can love each other, benefit each other, and share wealth equally, then there will be no resentment, jealousy, and disputes in the world, and peace in the world can be achieved.
This is typical of the class struggle and **.
More than 2,000 years later, a man named Marx actually plagiarized Mozi's ideas and founded his theory, which is called "Marxist Philosophy".
I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness!
Is there anyone in the world who is more shameless than him?
Oh, there really is!
It was the one who put "Marxist Philosophy" into the textbook and set up a checkpoint for the students!
Isn't this, leaving free genuine books and not reading, and running around to see pirated books for a fee!
The degree of shamelessness of this gentleman is really unprecedented, unprecedented, and can be called the first in the world!
Fortunately, everyone is smart enough and well versed in the essence of Chinese thinking with policies and countermeasures. Most of them memorize the key points in a casual manner, and just cope with the exam.
If you really memorize "Marxist Philosophy" as a multiplication formula, what is the difference between it and Handan toddler? Not only may they not be able to learn the rigorous characteristics of the Germans, but they are easily confused and lose their own characteristics!
There is also the idea of "advancing with the times" put forward by a certain big person.
Of course, the magnification effect of the big man and the encouragement of some sycophants made these four words the label of the big man, as if this idea was the first to be created by the big man.
In fact, no, the first to mention this theory was Han Feizi in the Warring States Period.
He mentioned in "Han Feizi and Five Worms", "If you don't repair the ancients in time, you can often do it." When the world is different, things are different, and when things are different, they are ready to change."
This means that conventional conventions cannot be treated as eternal patterns. When the way of the world is different and things change, the way of dealing with the world must also change accordingly.
It can be seen that the big man is just an ancient and modern interpretation. But he never took the initiative to clarify that this idea actually existed in ancient times, so that those who understood would praise him for his concise and thorough translation, and those who did not understand would marvel at his talent. The spirit of great wisdom and foolishness was vividly exerted in him.
Seeing the subtleties, the far-sighted wisdom of the ancient Chinese can be seen.
If Chinese civilization is a towering tree, then the hundreds of schools of thought that competed for beauty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are the foundation of this towering tree.
