Chapter 293: Strange Talk
In the face of unanimous doubts, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "The reason why we don't feel the rotation is precisely because the whole land is rotating, and when we are in it, we can't feel it, just like Wang Xiucai and Li Xiucai in the carriage, each of them can't feel the other person moving."

"It's just nonsense, it's incredible!"
"What did you just say, that the whole earth is turning? Did you hear that? Did I hear me right?"
"Is this man crazy enough to say that the earth is turning?"
"I don't think it's crazy, or it's just nonsense and grandstanding. ”
"If you don't have a little common sense, you can only laugh and be generous when you say it, the earth is really going to turn, then it's going to turn the sky, how can everyone still stand here alive and not be thrown into the sky!"
"Hahaha......" The crowd laughed, thinking that someone's words were really ridiculous, and it was a loss for the other party to say it, how could there be such a "whimsy"?
In the midst of laughter, Jiang Yun suddenly raised two fists, and the person standing in front of him suddenly saw it, and was startled, this is a debate, but he was angry, and he was angry, and he wanted to punch someone, but you are a mere child, with thin arms and thin legs, who can you beat.
Just when everyone thought that someone was annoyed and angry, and was about to swing his fist at him, Jiang Yun raised his fists and said loudly: "Everyone, please look, my right fist is like the sun, my left fist is like the earth where we are, you see, my right fist is not moving, my left fist is slowly rotating, everyone see, this point on the fist, we are like standing here, when the fist is slowly turning, we seem to see the sun rising from the east and falling to the west." ”
"When the sun is facing us, it is day, and when we turn our backs to the sun, there is no daylight, it is night, but the earth is always turning, and the next morning, we turn to the front of the sun again, and then it is sunrise, and a new day begins, and so on, and so on, ......and so on, and so on."
Jiang Yun raised his fist here, and kept gesturing, it was inconvenient for his fist to turn, and it was unrealistic to rotate three hundred and sixty degrees, so he picked up two pebbles from the ground that were slightly close to the ball, and then gestured there.
The crowd around was dumbfounded, only feeling that what they heard and saw at the moment was simply incredible, such absurd and bizarre theories, unheard of, not believable, but they prefer to be like there is still a little bit of crooked truth?
"Slow!" Guo Mao seemed to have discovered a loophole in the other party's words at this time, showed a victor's smile, and said: "You said earlier that our earth has been rotating? Ladies and gentlemen, be careful at night, for according to this brother's words, you will all have to flip over and fall down when the time comes!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and everyone thought that this sentence alone was enough to make this person's absurd remarks contradict themselves and be self-defeating.
Jiang Yun was not in a hurry, and asked, "I want to ask this benevolent brother, what is the upper and what is the lower?"
Guo Mao said: "Of course, the sky is above the head, and the ground is below the feet!"
Jiang Yun held the pebble and continued: "Then please take care of this benevolent brother, when the earth turns to the sun, this person is still with his feet on the ground and his head on the sky, how can he fall?"
"Look, it's all turned to the back, why won't it fall?"
Jiang Yun said: "How can I fall? I still have my feet on the ground, my head above the sky, how can I fall, can people still fall into the sky, this is not to fly." ”
"But it's obviously flipped over, why won't it fall......" Most people are still incomprehensible, thinking that the other party is messing around and unreasonable.
Jiang Yun said: "Why can we stand firm on this earth and not fall to the sky? Why do the apples on the tree fall to the ground and not fall to the sky, why do we throw a stone upwards, although it travels upward for a while, but in the end it still falls back to the ground?"
"Because things have weight, they naturally fall downward, and there is earth below to support them, so naturally they will not fall, but if they are flipped to the back, and there is no earth below to support them, won't people fall down?" someone retorted with confidence.
Jiang Yun said: "Okay, the question is again, why do things have weight?"
When he asked this, everyone was speechless, things have weight, isn't it a matter of course, is there any doubt about this, without weight, can it be called a thing?
Jiang Yun continued: "Weight is actually a feeling, an interaction between things. The root of weight lies in the attraction of the earth to things. It is precisely because of the attraction of the earth that people will always stand firmly on the earth and will not fall to the sky. ”
"The attraction of the earth to man?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned again, only thinking that this person was simply all kinds of strange theories, and he came when he opened his mouth.
Jiang Yun said: "Yes, the attraction of the earth to people, is this very strange? Everyone should know the magnet stone, the magnet stone is not the attraction of each other in the air, and the attraction of the earth is similar to this. ”
"Man is man, earth is earth, magnet is magnet, not the same thing, how can they be compared?"
Jiang Yun said incomprehensibly: "Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, and the origin of all things is one, and there is no essential difference." ”
"It's just far-fetched, there is no truth at all! It's all speculation, specious, and there is no real basis!" Guo Mao rebuked loudly, his face full of disdain, and this is undoubtedly the idea of the vast majority of people on the field.
Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I'll ask you one more question, is the earth square or round?"
"It's common sense that the sky is round, do you still need to ask about it?" someone scoffed.
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "The sky is ethereal, boundless, it doesn't matter if it's round, but this place is round, not square. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the field, this place is obviously square, and this person still has to cook a duck with a hard mouth, which is really unreasonable.
Jiang Yun said: "If the earth is square, then I have to ask, why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west every day, and the sun that goes to the west in the evening on the first day comes out of the east the next morning, who can explain it?"
Just when he thought that these words were enough to stop everyone completely, one of the people in the crowd replied with confidence: "This is the work of the Creator, and the creation of heaven and earth is like this, what is there to doubt?"
Jiang Yun almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, only then did he realize that he had come here to popularize astronomical and geographical knowledge with these people, and he was really pure and had nothing to do.
"One last question. Jiang Yun, who was unwilling, was already about to give up, "Everyone said, is the water surface flat?"
"Of course the water is flat, do you need to say that?" said someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"I wonder if anyone here has been to the beach or seen the fishing boats return?" Jiang Yun asked around.
"What about the beach?" replied someone in the crowd, not knowing whether he had seen it or not.
"It's so lively here, there are so many people gathered, is there something good?!"
At this time, a loud voice sounded, and then I saw a group of people walking towards this side from a distance, led by a black-faced man, who was the owner of this place, the king of Tanglin, and among the people who traveled with him, Han Yingda and Zheng Tong, the two scholars, were there.
Seeing that the prince and the two scholars were coming, the crowd couldn't care about listening to someone's nonsense anymore, and they all gathered around, and there was a disturbance on the field, and a sound of greetings and greetings sounded.
Jiang Yun saw it, but he was happy in his heart, if he could attract the attention of the two scholars, then whether he could convince people with reason or not today, but this left a "good story" in the famous garden, and the purpose of making the famous garden feel should be achieved, as long as this is enough, he will not count on the rest.
"Okay, since this benevolent brother has been to the beach, then I will ask you, when you see the fishing boat returning from the seaside, do you see the mast on the boat first, or the hull of the ship first?" Jiang Yun struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly grabbed the benevolent brother and asked loudly.
When the benevolent brother heard this, he felt inexplicable, and said: "Why do you see the mast on the ship first, or see the hull first, this question is so strange, if you see it, of course you see it together, what is the order of each other?"
When Jiang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, daring to love this benevolent brother who stayed at home, he had never been to the beach at all, and he was talking nonsense here.
"What, someone is here to make a big fuss, saying that the earth revolves around the sun, and the earth is round, not square?" After the king of Tanglin came, he heard someone talk about someone's strange theory, and immediately felt very strange, isn't this purely deliberate raising the bar, just such nonsense, and also gathered this large group of people, listening to it here with relish, is everyone too boring?
"Boy, it's you!"
King Tanglin strode over, and immediately recognized that this person who was here to "bewitch the people" and pretend to be shocking had seen it before, wasn't it the young maniac who refused to drink in Siyiyuan a few days ago? Of course, he didn't know at this moment that the other party was still the author of the legend of the Condor Heroes that he had repeatedly invited to the mansion.
"Boy, it turns out that you are here to make a lot of nonsense, saying that the earth revolves around the sun, and the earth is not square, but round?" asked the king of Tanglin with his eyes glared again.
Jiang Yun said: "Yes, since the sun and the moon are round, why should the earth be square, isn't this unreasonable." ”
Everyone was speechless, and they had never seen such a credible and unreasonable person.
Jiang Yun continued: "If we always go in one direction, keep going, then we will return to the starting point, if the earth is square, then we go in one direction, what will happen then, that is, to the edge of the earth, have you ever heard of this kind of place?"
"That's because the earth is so big, and we can't go to the edge of the earth in our lifetimes, so why are you sure that the edge of the earth doesn't exist?"
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Since people can't reach the edge of the earth in their lifetime, then why do they have to conclude that the earth is square, and what is the basis for this?"
"You say that the earth is round, so what is the real reason?" King Tanglin was also curious, and asked, not knowing what kind of crooked reason the other party could say.
Jiang Yun glanced around and said, "Have any of you ever been to the beach and seen the return of fishing boats? ”
"Lao Yu used to serve in the South China Sea, and he was a person who spent some time at the seaside. One person walked over, but it was the university scholar Zheng Tong. Everyone was very surprised to see him come over to have fun, in the eyes of everyone, such a low-level and boring fallacy and heresy was not worth wading into this troubled water in the eyes of dignified scholars.
Not only Zheng Tong, but also Han Yingda, who came over together, saw that the prince and the two scholars were shocked, Jiang Yun already had a bottom in his heart, and the purpose of this time was preliminarily achieved.
"I've seen Mr. Heekawa! Since Mr. Heechuan has been to the beach, dare to ask, did Mr. Heechuan see the mast of the fishing boat returning from the seashore first, or did he see the hull of the ship first?" Jiang Yun saluted and asked.
Zheng Tong didn't think much about this question, and replied: "See the mast on the ship first, this is a common sense of sailing on the sea. ”
"Correct!"
Jiang Yun couldn't help but shout, it seemed that the other party had really been at sea before, and he had some experience in sailing. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but look sideways, this person dared to talk nonsense like this in the face of the famous Old Master Zheng, it was really arrogant and rude.
Zheng Tong didn't care about this, and asked with a smile: "But what does this have to do with the big land." ”
Jiang Yun said: "Of course it has a lot to do with it, hasn't Mr. Xichuan thought about it carefully, why when sailing on the sea, the first thing you see is the mast of the ship, and then the hull of the ship?
Zheng Tong was stunned, he really didn't think about the reason for this, and said uncertainly: "Isn't it because of the strong wind and waves on the sea and the ups and downs of the sea, so people's vision is blocked for a while, and the first thing they see is the mast of the ship, and then the hull of the ship?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "No, this has nothing to do with the wind and waves at sea, the ups and downs of the sea, even if the sea is calm, the first thing you see must be the mast on the ship, and then the hull below." If it is only because of the turbulence of the sea and the obstruction of the view, then after the water waves surge, there must be a time when it falls, which is a probability, and it is impossible to explain why the mast of the ship is always seen first, and as the ship gets closer and closer, the mast expands little by little, and then the hull of the ship is seen. ”
After Zheng Tong thought about it carefully, he felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable, and immediately asked with interest: "Then how should this be explained?" )
