On Sunday night, Wu Bin, who was sitting at his desk at home, was looking at a book with relish, but what was rare was that what he was holding in his hand was not a textbook, but a biographical book given to him by Cai Guoping, who was he introduced?

It's the top physicist who often lifts the coffin board to shout something, Isaac Newton.

The full title of the book is The Last Alchemist: The Biography of Newton

It was written by the British novelist Michael Connelly.

Cai Guoping said this when he gave him this book, "This is a biography of Newton that I personally like, I recommend you to read it, and it may have some influence on you." ”

Before reading this biography, Wu Bin knew the most about this great scientist was his three laws.

And how can a man who can lay the foundation of modern physics not make a person who likes physics not be curious about him.

So Wu Bin still squeezed out a little time to read this biography in his intense study plan, but he didn't expect that this reading would fall into it.

When he came to school the next day, Wu Bin returned the biography he had read to Cai Guoping and said with an expectant expression: "Teacher, do you have any other books about Newton?" ”

Cai Guoping, who took the book, smiled, "I can recommend a few more to you, the library in the school has them, you can borrow them." ”

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Cai Guoping nodded, took out a pen from the pen holder, and began to write the title of the book on the sticky note paper, and asked as he wrote: "Tell me how you feel after reading?" ”

"In a sense, it made me understand the limits of human beings?" Wu Bin thought for a while and replied.

"Haha, he does have that qualification."

After Cai Guoping finished speaking, he tore off the sticky note paper and handed it to Wu Bin, "Anyway, how are you studying in other subjects now?" Teacher Bi has come to ask several times, and he is more anxious than me. ”

"Tomorrow, it took an unexpectedly long time to study chemistry, so it disrupted my plans a bit and caused me to fall behind in my biology studies, but I should be able to read it all tomorrow."

"Wu Bin, what a big breath, let me tell you, if your English can't pass 120, I won't let you go."

At this time, Chen Fang, who was watering the flowers, raised his head and said to Wu Bin.

"I'm too, if the score can't satisfy me, don't blame me for helping you close the office, don't think that you passed the test by answering the cell fusion question yesterday."

Jiang Lan also immediately added.

"Please rest assured, two teachers, I will ...... I will do my best to get a score that satisfies both teachers. ”

Wu Bin originally wanted to say that he would definitely be able to pass the exam, but he was afraid of stimulating the two teachers, otherwise he would be a little cowardly if he found two sets of Hengshui legendary-level difficulty papers.

Taking advantage of the two teachers' satisfied nods, Wu Bin hurriedly slipped out of the office.

During the lunch break, Wu Bin came to the school library after eating, and he was indeed a little impatient for Newton's biography.

In fact, it is not that Wu Bin really worships Newton to this extent, but he sees in Newton's biography the direction in which he should go.

That's right, Newton's biography doesn't tell you what it takes to become a scholar, but what you can do after becoming a scholar.

Wu Bin reads books like biographies very quickly, and during a lunch break, Wu Bin has already read the books recommended by Cai Guoping.

Genius, god, human limit, every line of the book reveals such information, and Wu Bin also feels that they are not wrong.

If you want to describe the magnitude of Newton's contribution, it probably looks like this.

If there was a Nobel Prize in the 17th century, then Newton was at least a four-time winner of the Physics Prize, and the construction of the mechanical system, the spectrometer, the reflecting telescope, and the gravitational force, each of which was a far-reaching existence.

In addition, in the mathematical world, Newton's "Flow Mathematics", which is calculus that contemporary students hate and rack their brains, can easily conquer the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal in Mathematics.

There's a joke that Newton worked calculus to generate revenue for Cambridge, but that's just a joke.

In the seventeenth century, there were many mathematical problems that needed to be solved by calculus.

For example, when studying the motion of an object, find the immediate velocity, find the tangent of a curve, find the maximum and minimum values of a function, and so on.

It can be said that calculus is the greatest creation of all mathematics after Euclidean geometry.

In fact, in the seventeenth century, calculus was studied by at least a dozen top mathematicians, such as Fermat, Waris, Barrow, Kepler, and so on.

But in the end, the founders are generally considered to be Newton and Leibniz, which shows the magnitude of their contributions.

There's also a little story here, looking at these two people as the creators of calculus, some people will think that they are a partnership, but in fact...... Inexistent!

After Newton was 30 years old, in addition to pondering God and alchemy, the most he did was to smear Leibniz in all kinds of ways.

Because the person who first published the calculus paper was none other than Leibniz.

Therefore, many people later said that Newton used the power of the president of the Royal Society to constantly suppress the weak Brenitz for the glory of "the founder of calculus".

This is one of the most common arguments that Newton's black scholars use to bombard his character.

After finishing the short story, continue to talk about his academics.

The above discoveries and scholarships were all completed by Newton before the age of 26, and it can be said that it is difficult to express Wu Bin's mood in four unimaginable words, and I just want to ask if the system has ever been attached to Newton.

Oh yes, I just said that Newton has been tinkering with alchemy since the age of 30, and alchemy is actually the chemistry of their century, but it is too rudimentary, at that time there was no concept of the elements, and oxygen was still called "phlogiston"

This is also the reason why Newton did not make much discovery in chemistry, mainly because they were all on the wrong path at that time.

Wu Bin firmly believes that if Newton had been born in the era of microscopes and the "Periodic Table", then winning a few chemistry prizes would probably be a matter of handy.

Of course, in addition to touting Newton's great contribution to academia, the biography also contains some private goods, such as

"If I see farther than others, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants."

"I was like a child playing by the sea, rejoicing from time to time at finding stones smoother or more beautiful shells than usual, and before me was a sea of completely undiscovered truth."

I believe that most people have heard these two sentences, their source is Newton's mouth, and later generations also like to use these two sentences to describe Newton's humility, but if you substitute these two sentences into the context of Newton at that time to say these two sentences, it is not at all the meaning.

For example, the context of the sentence standing on the shoulders of giants is actually like this.

In fact, the British scientist Hooke had already discovered the law of gravitation and deduced the correct formula, but due to poor mathematics, he could only barely explain the circular motion of the planets around the sun, and he did not realize that the forces that govern the movement of celestial bodies are actually universal and "all-existent".

In addition, Tycho discovered that the rotation of the planets is actually elliptical motion as early as 100 years ago, and Kepler proposed the three laws of planetary motion. So the scientific community did not pay much attention to Hooke's work.

But later, the mathematical madman Newton solved this problem with calculus and successfully extended his three laws of mechanics to galactic space, changing the old view that heaven and earth are not the same since Aristotle, and was once regarded as the greatest discovery by the scientific community.

This result made Hooke furious, accusing Newton of plagiarizing his own work.

Next is when the classic sentence appears, according to Wu Bin's description of the book, Newton's tone at that time is estimated to be like this.

"yes, I'm really standing on the shoulders of giants."

I guess I guess I don't blame me for your special math?

Wu Bin almost laughed when he found out about this paragraph, and he couldn't imagine that such a thing as partial science would also appear among top scientists, which made him more determined to let all disciplines go hand in hand.

Later, this sentence was removed from the context, and it became a very classic humble sentence, which can be regarded as very interesting.

The second sentence is similar for picking up shells.

In Newton's later years, he was definitely not a god of physics who was offered up, officialdom for decades, and there were naturally many enemies, and he could be said to be a lot of people.

At a party, several cutting-edge scientists questioned him, physics is getting more and more expansive, but you haven't made new discoveries for so long, what else is there to do?

Then Newton threw this sentence at them, which actually means, how can you scum who can't even pick up shells qualify to come to BB me?

I have to say that Newton's art of speaking, which has been mixed with officialdom for decades, is really the pinnacle, and spraying people casually has become such a legendary classic.

I believe that people who don't understand the context can only feel the artistic conception that is so beautiful that it is like poetry.

Unruly, this is what Wu Bin read from a few short stories, when he read this paragraph, Wu Bin couldn't help but glance at Gu Fan who was sitting next to him, he likes to ridicule him so much, is it because great people are destined to have no friends?

Newton's life was a life of genius and a life of pioneering, but it was probably also a life of no friends, not even a wife.

However, at this point, Wu Bin actually resonates.

"How can learning be fun when you fall in love?"

"At this point, I do think the host has the potential to be a great scientist."

Wu Bin, who heard the system take the initiative to talk for the first time, was a little surprised, so he asked, 'What do you say?' ’

"When the initial scan of the host's brain area of interest, the host's interest in the opposite sex was almost zero, which is rare in humans, and this is a very good potential for becoming a great man."

'Oh? Yes, it's rare to hear you praise me, so what's the reward? ’

"Sorry, this issue is not within the scope of inquiry."

'Heh, system. ’
