Chapter 37 Swimming and fitness, find out
After returning to Hong Kong Island, it was still early, and Ma Yiao saw that I was very interested in the "Gaia hypothesis", so he took me to a nearby bookstore to find relevant information.
However, most of the bookstores on Hong Kong Island are popular books, especially Apple Daily, which is the most gossip reading materials based on false rumors, followed by martial arts and the like, and there are almost no books about the Gaia hypothesis.
But before leaving, I still bought a set of Mr. Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin".
This set of books is very classic, time-traveling, history, eroticism, heroes, a collection of many elements, I just read a little bit of the beginning, and I can't stop.
However, you can't read too many of these books, otherwise your body will be very weak.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go to the Central Library on Hong Kong Island, where there would be more books.
We had nothing to do anyway, so we went to the library, after arriving, registered to enter, and then Ma Yiao found the catalog list, began to go to the huge library to pick up, not long after, found several books, the most important of which is called "Scientists on Gaia", this book has a Chinese translation, it is in 1989 the American Geophysical Union selected Gaia as the theme of the academic conference, hundreds of scientists and scholars participated in the conference, a book assembled and published.
And this book represents a beginning, and there are many related studies and results to be given in the follow-up, Ma Yiao picked a few more representative books for me, and these are all in English.
I have a diploma from a secondary school student, but when I was a potion supplier, I had to face a variety of customers, and the Taiwanese boss had strict requirements, so I worked hard for English.
Of course, even so, I can only cope with ordinary English reading, and I still need to use a dictionary for too many professional words.
Although Ma Yiao has been involved in this kind of theory, after so much time, some new research results have appeared one after another, and when he helped me rummage through the discussions, he found some relevant results of scientific newspapers and magazines, so he didn't have time to help me translate, so he held a bunch of materials and studied them there.
Ma Yiao and I were not anxious about the changes in the wind and clouds two days later, and we felt extremely quiet as we wandered in this sea of knowledge.
The books I got were entry-level books, but after reading them through, I had a rough idea of the core contents.
In fact, the "Gaia hypothesis" is not complicated, and it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "the goddess Gaia, that is, the earth we live in".
Its core theory is that the earth is a living organism, that is, "Gaia", she has the ability to self-regulate, and all life forms that have evolved on the earth are part of Gaia, just like the cells that make up the human body, similar to cells, the different life forms that make up Gaia interact with each other and contribute to the health of the whole organism.
The reason why it is named "Gaia" is because she is the god of the earth in ancient Greek mythology, the mother of the gods, the most respected and illustrious god of all gods, she is the first primordial god born in chaos, and one of the primordial natural forces that can create life.
She is described in the Theogony as follows: Conflict and chaos come from Gaia, the Mother of Gods, who gave birth to the gods of all the bright universes. In her, we see both creation and destruction, order and chaos, and in general, darkness and chaos are her essence.
The above is the origin of the Gaia hypothesis, and in the collection of papers, a large amount of data is accumulated to discuss the possibility of this hypothesis.
I've never heard of such a statement before, and now that I read it, it becomes more and more interesting.
And when I finished reading "The Scientist on Gaia", I consulted other sources, and became more and more able to answer the true meaning of it, and some hypotheses and speculations were derived from it, which fascinated me.
For example, "Soul 21 Gram Theory", which is a very famous experiment, was conducted by the doctor Duncan in Massachusetts. In an analogy experiment conducted by McDowell in 1907, through extensive sampling and investigation, he calculated that there was a missing mass before and after death, and that mass, which was very miraculous, was almost about 21 grams.
21 grams, which is generally considered to be the mass of the human soul, but where did this mass eventually disappear?
Another example is the "140-year return theory", some scientists have investigated and studied a large number of people who claim to have "memories of past lives", including the most frequent Tibetan reincarnated living Buddhas, and finally came to a logic, that is, the human soul is actually immortal, but will accumulate in one place for purification, and after washing away the lead, it will return to the world in another form.
And those who have residual thinking are likely to have all kinds of chances, or have mastered a certain method and avoided the cleansing of the huge consciousness.
And this hypothesis is very interesting, the so-called "cleansing", which corresponds to the ancient Chinese mythology, is called "drinking Meng Po soup".
Serendipitous Chance?
There are also many interesting theories, and these theories have been published with the support of quite a lot of theoretical data, and there are special personnel to verify them, and there is basically no possibility of academic deception.
I looked at them one by one, and when I came across a relatively obscure word, I would use the dictionary to compare them and study them carefully.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt that there was an extra girl next to Ma Yiao on the other side, and that girl was wearing a pair of round glasses, cutting the student's head, and talking to Ma Yiao.
I looked up and saw this innocent-looking girl talking to Ma Yiao, at first the two spoke English, which I could barely understand, and then the two actually spoke Japanese.
I was directly confused, and I was really a little envious when I saw the pure Japanese in Ma Yiao's mouth that was comparable to the quality of a small movie.
This guy is really versatile.
I looked at the two of them for a while, thought about it for a while, and found that the innocent girl like the schoolgirl probably saw the books Ma Yiao read, so she would talk to him.
The two seemed to be discussing some academic topic, and although Ma Yiao was dressed in disguise, he did not have the appearance of "bringing disaster to the country and the people", but his gentle demeanor was not a lot, and the girl chatted with him very happily, and occasionally talked about a certain fun, and laughed so much that he leaned forward and fell back, and the flowers trembled.
Tsk, tsk......
I don't know why, but I suddenly became jealous of this close friend who was a close brother.
Seeing this girl's eyebrows fluttering, I feel that if Ma Yiao proposes to have a candlelight dinner with her at this time, it will be basically no problem, and the dinner is all together, will it be far away from sharing a bed at night?
It's not like I've never seen a beautiful woman, but I've never met an exotic beauty with an exotic and alternative style like this.
Especially the matter of "winning glory for the country" is really tempting for men.
But......
I looked at it for a while, and suddenly I felt that something was not right, and when I looked closely, I saw that the girl was wearing a delicate platinum necklace on her chest, and the pendant was a turquoise gemstone.
The brilliance of that gem is a little ......
This chain is some kind of magic weapon.
And then, in my Qi Vision, I faintly observed an unusual aura.
This is...... Rabbit?
I saw the clue, and I was a little anxious, and at this time, the girl stood up, bowed to Ma Yiao, and said with a sweet smile: "γζε°γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγγ......"
Subsequently, she exchanged contact information with Ma Yiao, and then turned to leave.
I waited for the others to leave, and then asked, "What did you just say?" β
Ma Yiao smiled and said, "Just thank you for my advice, this little girl is quite polite." β
I say little girl? Do you know what people are?
Ma Yiao said: "Jade Rabbit - don't be nervous, there are five or six million people on Hong Kong Island, and it is normal to occasionally meet one or two night walkers, I just talked to her and found that she has quite a lot of research on the 'Gaia hypothesis'......"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and glasses suddenly walked next to him, and said to us with a smile: "When it comes to the Gaia hypothesis, I am also quite interested. β
The old man walked up to us and said, "I see that the two little brothers have studied this very well, I don't know if we can talk about it?" β
It's really weird, if it's just a little girl, I can understand it, and suddenly an old man pops up, what's going on?
However, Ma Yiao still has a very academic temperament, and when someone comes to discuss, he will not refuse, but chatted with the old man.
I didn't think about it at first, I thought it was a fun, but I didn't expect that the old professor-like old man, after chatting for a while, actually directly grasped the initiative of the topic, and began to associate many ancient myths and legends with us, and the Gaia hypothesis, and he didn't like to call this topic the Gaia hypothesis, because two thousand years ago, Lao Tzu had expounded this idea in the Tao Te Ching.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs".
Heaven and earth don't care about benevolence, and it doesn't matter if it's not benevolent, the Tao gave birth to all things, and didn't want to get anything back, it saw all things as the same as the straw dog that was lost, and it was not particularly good for people, and it was particularly bad for all other things.
This is the Way.
The avenue is ruthless and affectionate.
Ma Yiao was immediately excited when he said this, but at this time, the phone call came in, Ma Yiao glanced at me, made a gesture at me, and left.
This is a call from his master Wang Chao'an, and he must take the arrangement the day after tomorrow.
Ma Yiao went out with a confession, and when he left, the old man smiled at me, and then said, "Monkey King, are you interested in learning more about the six-eared macaque?" β
********
Little Buddha said: Gaia hypothesis, that is, "the earth is the way", this concept is the basis of the world view of the flat demon, to tell, there may be some hardcore, for the sake of everyone's reading experience, today's ...... Add a more, ask for understanding, hahaha - ignore the topic, recently walking on the street, being asked too much by the fitness salesman, is it because, I'm too fat?
