Chapter 10: The Perfect Celestial System

The first issue of "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" was serialized, and after the most unacceptable "theory of circumambulating the sun" appeared, another view that subverted common sense soon appeared, and the earth not only "orbited the sun" all the time, but also rotated all the time.

The first volume of the entire Treatise on the Movement of the Celestial Bodies discusses the Sun as the center of the universe and the Earth and other planets orbiting the Sun.

The second volume deals with the rotation of the earth.

The third volume deals with precession. The fourth volume deals with the movement of the moon and the eclipse of the sun and the moon, and the fifth and sixth volumes deal with the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

When all six volumes were serialized, there was a huge shock in the entire martial arts world.

Although some of the ideas in this book seem ridiculous on their own, as far as the book as a whole is concerned, her whole set of ideas can undoubtedly explain many strange phenomena of the whole celestial body, and this celestial system is even more perfect and beautiful than any previous system. ”

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes were full of amazement: "Liu Qin, this woman is the master of Yuqing Jingzhai, and she has always practiced martial arts a lot, why is she like this when she first enters the academic world?"

"This is a great work of great madness, and it is also a great work destined to go down through the ages, and such a book, even if its contents are wrong, but what it exposes can shock and inspire our readers to make it worthy of the admiration of any true scholar. Su Shi laughed and looked at Wang Chaoyun on the side, "Chaoyun, although for millions of years, women have always been inferior to men in the academic world, but as soon as Liu Qin's book comes out, who dares to say that women do learning in the martial arts world, and they can only write "Women's Training", "Women's Rings" and the like?"

"The Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" is an impact and shock to the non-Confucian sects in the martial arts world, and it can be used to explain the Taoist Confucianism...... Liu Qin's 'subordinates' sects one by one......

Lu Gongzhu had been sitting in meditation for a whole morning.

"Maybe we've been fooled!" Looking at Lu Xizhe who walked into the quiet room, Lu Gong sighed lowly. Liu Qin's conclusion is not credible, but the argument in it is much more rigorous and logical than at any previous time for any argument on astronomy. ”

"Such a book can be called an epoch-making 'astronomical' work, is this really used to lure Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng into the bait? I always feel that Liu Qin's true intentions may not be so. ”

"Father is saying that Liu Zhai is the master of her," Lu Gongzhe'......s face changed slightly.

"Liu Qin, this woman is very powerful, and the book she wrote is wonderful. Cheng Yi stroked his beard and blushed. "She is always attracted to this book even when the old man reads it, and can't help but agree with some of her views, it can be seen that her writing is powerful, it is really difficult for her, in order to lure Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng to fish, she is so attentive, if Qin Duan and the two don't take the bait, it is really intolerable!"

"The teacher is concluding that Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng will definitely take the bait?"

"Who can tell. After all, we have to cooperate well, otherwise we ......" Cheng Yi shook his head.

The middle-aged man in Sima Guang's study put down the newspaper and looked at Sima Guang: "Father, do you say that Liu Qin's heart really agrees with the views in this "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies"?"

"This is an extremely beautiful astronomical system!" Sima Guang's face was very solemn.

No matter what Liu Qin thinks in her heart, her book has already been ...... It is already the most powerful work in astronomy so far, and its academic value may not know how many times more than the works of predecessors, if I Sima Guang is to pass on to future generations with the name of "Zizhi Tongjian", then Liu Qin will inevitably be famous for future generations with this "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies", if this book is not her proud work. No one will believe ...... when they say it."

"Three thousand soldiers are disarmed, and none of them are men!" Han Zhongyan's face was ugly. "Why, why is this woman Liu Qin able to write ......"

"And we, we can't?"

"She's fishing for Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng, it's obviously to mock us and others!"

......

Although Confucianism still believes that Liu Qin wrote "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" in order to drag Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng into it, they are also a little vigilant, after all, the writing is so good that it is good enough for people who really think about the truth. Sometimes I can't stop doubting the existing Hun Tian Theory, Gai Tian Theory, and even Xuan Ye Theory.

This was terrible, so one after another Confucians went even more frantically attacking the ideas in the "Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" in the newspapers.

Zhongshan Mid-Mountain Residence.

Wang Anshi was particularly excited for a while.

Although the old man also felt that the earth was such a huge mud ball, it was spherical and still moving. It is incredible to revolve around the sun, and even turn itself, but the reasoning of the data in Liu Qin's article is undoubtedly the most reasonable. ”

Wang Anshi's eyebrows fluttered, although the conclusion in "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" is difficult to accept, but reading the articles in it is like drinking alcohol, which is a kind of exciting happiness that is better than reading a book for ten years with you.

It was the kind of excitement that inspired Wang Anshi to think more deeply about astronomy.

"The world is big, there are no wonders, the road is simple, the more profound the mystery, the more simple and beautiful. Wang Anshi circled around the trees in the compound, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Beside you, polish the ink and lay the paper." ”

"Father, you want to ......"

"Write articles, submit articles, this "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies" is such a good article, how can you not say a word?"

"Father is against it too. Wang next to the excitement, since the birth of "The Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", every issue of the serialization has been written by someone in the "New Youth" newspaper, "Wulin Feng" to oppose the views in it, raising all kinds of doubts.

Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" has still been supported by three or two small birds, and even Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng have not come out to support it, and those who oppose it have come out one after another.

Even Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng didn't dare to stand up and openly support Liu Qin's doctrine.

Moreover, the viewpoint in "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" is that everything is centered around the sun is wrong, and then the "great earth shape" theory is even more wrong, and then the "earth movement theory" is even more wrong, and it can be said that one conclusion is more absurd than the other.

Such an obvious absurdity, how could Wang Anshi support it.

"Good!" said the king excitedly.

"Oppose, why oppose?" Wang Anshi shook his head, "The avenue is simple and beautiful, you see that the Taiji diagram most respected by Confucianism and Taoism is the circle." Buddhists also like the circle the most, the most perfect pattern in philosophy is the circle, the most perfect figure in geometry is also the circle, the earth is spherical, the sun, moon and stars and even the entire universe are spherical, and all stars are spinning. The earth goes around the sun, and all this ......"

Wang Anshi grabbed a branch and drew a diagram of the universe in "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" on the ground, and his eyes were full of excitement: "You see how beautiful this structure is, how simple it is, how perfect it is? If it is replaced by 'Heavenly Theory' and 'Heaven-Covering Theory', there is always something missing, since Liu Qin's "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" is completely in line with the principles of aesthetics in terms of geometric logic and mathematical theory, then why is it wrong?"

"But heaven and earth are not yet complete. The king shook his head.

"Heaven and earth are not all right, you see the earth, it has mountains. There are also troughs, which are not perfectly smooth and flat balls, which is 'heaven and earth'. Wang Anshi said with a smile, "Heaven and earth are not complete, but the Tao is perfect, beautiful and simple." ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Wang Bi shook his head in his heart, and even walked into the study.

Soon, a text written by Wang Anshi himself in support of Liu Qin flew to the newspaper.

Tanzhou.

The man in white stood in front of the window, looking at the Aiwan Pavilion not far away.

"As expected, the 'Earth Movement' is more exciting than the Earth Theory. Qin Chao sighed. The Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies is undoubtedly the most important work in the history of science.

However, this work was not recognized by all scientists when it first entered the WTO, and Copernicus himself did not dare to publish it during his lifetime. It was not published until after his death, and many scientists at the time read and admired the work, annotated it, and used it to improve their astronomical predictions.

However, one of these ideas has been criticized for a long time.

Qin Chao turned to look at the mountain of manuscripts in the room.

"Since the serialization of 'the earth revolves around the sun'. The number of manuscripts attacking "The Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" is increasing day by day, and I really can't figure out why these people are unwilling to accept new ideas, which are obviously correct!"

"Obviously correct?" Qin Ning had a strange look in his eyes, "Abi, how do you know it's correct?"

Abi glared at Qin Ning: "Will Childe's opinion be wrong?"

"Poof!" Lin Su squirted out with a sip of tea. "Abi, Childe is not a god, how can it not be wrong, this earth travels around the sun, I think it is incredible, think about it, how does the soil on this earth move, who is pushing him? God?"

Ah Bi choked, and even looked at the Qin Dynasty as if asking for help.

"There are indeed some points in this "Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" that are wrong. Qin Chao shrugged, Abi's mouth suddenly pouted, and Lin Su, Qin Ning, and even Qiu Xinmiao on the side looked at him suspiciously.

"Wrong?"

"Brother-in-law, you actually said that you were wrong?"

"Science is never a one-step approach. Qin Chao smiled and said, "But don't worry, there are not many mistakes in this work, at least the 'earth theory' and 'earth movement theory' should not be wrong." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Qin Chao shook his head in his heart, Copernicus's "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" has epoch-making significance in the history of science, but there are many mistakes in it, after all, there was no Newton's gravitational attraction, no Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, no one recognized the fluctuation of light, etc., so even if the theories of Galileo, Kepler, and Newton have been published, it is still impossible to prove many of these conclusions.

"Since you firmly believe in 'earth movement' and 'earth talk', why do so many people provoke you to talk back, but you don't say anything?" Qin Ning snorted.

"Silly girl, this astronomical thing, the debate is incomprehensible, let alone now, even if science and technology do not develop to a certain extent in another hundred years...... Huh?" Qin Chao looked at the mountains of manuscripts, and suddenly his eyes froze: "Wang Anshi's?"

"This Wang Jiefu's gaze has always been ahead of his time, I don't know ......" Qin Chao became interested all of a sudden, even opened it, swept his gaze a few times, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being called a bull with super advanced vision in later generations, and he is so sure of the controversial views in the "Theory of the Operation of Heavenly Bodies". ”

"But Wang Anshi also came to help, and I can't be completely silent, after all, it's still a little early for Newton's doctrine to be thrown out, so let's pick a period and say two sentences......" (To be continued.) )
