Genshin Impact: I just want to lie down, but the general insists on my promotion

"In your opinion, the premise of scientific research must be useful?"

As soon as this remark came out, it naturally caused a lot of waves.

"If scientific research is useless, what is research for?"

"Useless research is a waste!"

"Focusing on useful things is the consensus of the academic community!"

"You're an apprentice professor, but you don't even know common sense?"

Many scholars immediately refuted it.

Even Professor Ai Wen on the judges' bench retorted: "What's the use of studying useless things?"

Jiang Xiao's face was still calm, and he asked lightly:

"So, could you please explain why the first scholar who appeared just now, the tilting spinning top she invented, didn't fall?"

Hearing this, Professor Ai Wen blew his beard and glared and said, "Naturally, it is because the angular momentum abides by the constant law of "640"!"

"So, how was the law of conservation of angular momentum discovered?" Jiang Xiao continued.

Professor Evan said without thinking: "It was because a scholar was inspired by the spinning top and discovered this law!"

Professor Ai Wen answered fluently, and didn't pay attention to Jiang Xiao's question at all.

Just kidding, as a professor at the Akademiya, how could he be stumped by such a question?

But as everyone knows, he has fallen into a logical trap.

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, and sent a soul torture question to him: "So, in your opinion, professor, is it useful to study a spinning top?"

As soon as these words came out, Professor Evan couldn't help but be stunned.

His face froze, evidently lost in thought.

According to his logic, it is obviously useless to study a spinning top!

What is there to study about this phenomenon, which can be seen everywhere in real life?

Isn't it the same as studying dog feathering?

According to his logic, useless research should be discarded.

But now, he is locked by this logic!

The slap in the face is that it is such a useless research, but a major law of physics has been discovered!

Moreover, it also extends a cross-era invention!

Useless research, is it really useless?

Professor Aven's face twitched slightly, as if he had been hit by a huge blow.

At the same time, the other scholars present were also shocked.

Because they found that if they look at it according to this logic, studying what is useless is not necessarily really useless in the end!

On the contrary, it can be extremely useful!

For a moment, the invective of the audience disappeared almost instantly.

The scholars' three views were almost shaken!

At this time, Jiang Xiao continued: "There are many commonplace things around us, but it doesn't mean that we understand their mechanisms.

Human beings have only solved a small part of nature's mysteries, and the seemingly simplest questions are often the most difficult to answer.

Why can birds fly in the sky? but not chickens and ducks?

Why do feathers float on the surface of the water while stones sink to the bottom?

Why do apples fall off the trees when they fall to the ground instead of flying into the sky?

Can anyone answer these questions?"

These three seemingly simple questions directly made everyone present stupid!

Yes, all of these phenomena are extremely common.

But why hasn't anyone studied the reasons for their existence?

Coren was also a little dumbfounded.

He tried to answer these questions.

But after thinking about it, I found that I could only answer these seemingly simple questions with the most simple answers.

As for the underlying reasons for the existence of these phenomena, he did not know anything!

For example, in the case of apples falling to the ground, he only knew that the apples fell to the ground because of gravity.

But what is gravity?

Why is gravity downward?

Are there any formulas and theorems that can be used to explain gravity?

He doesn't know anything!(Read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It was only now that he realized that the theory of usefulness of research, which he had always been proud of, was actually ridiculous!

Including myself, the entire academic community's perception of the research topic is ridiculously wrong!

People should not only study useful things, and those seemingly useless studies may end up being more useful!

The five people on the judges' bench are all deep in thought!

The breadth of knowledge they pride themselves on is now unable to explain the most common phenomenon in life!

Everyone knows about this phenomenon......

But no one can explain this phenomenon!

It's like a spinning top!

Everyone knows that a spinning top doesn't fall down, but until the law of conservation of angular momentum came along, no one could explain why the top didn't fall!

And the appearance of this law is precisely the study that seems useless to them!

Now, the conference hall is so quiet that you can hear the breeze blowing.

Everyone was stunned by the torture of these three souls.

The paranoia about scientific research in their hearts has begun to loosen!

At this time, Jiang Xiao continued to talk about his research topic.

"In one second, a dog can shake water four times. Its acceleration is almost ten times that of a human running at full strength.

That's what I've learned, and it doesn't seem to be useful, but it's actually useless.

But this study will lay a small foundation.

At the very least, when someone is curious about how fast a dog can shake water, he can immediately find a ready-made answer.

So, pay tribute to your curiosity, humans must want to know what they don't know yet.

Curiosity and a spirit of research in everything are the source of scientific progress. "

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.

That's right

If someone had studied the answers to those three questions before, would anyone still be stumped by those three questions?

His 4.4 train of thought seems to have suddenly opened up!

The root of all problems comes from the so-called research usefulness theory!

Only useful things are worth studying, and useless things are useless to study.

This deep-rooted concept is completely wrong!

Science shouldn't be the way it is!

Everything should return to the origin, to the essence of research!

Why should I research?

Because of curiosity!

It's not because it's useful after researching!

It's because humans want to know what they don't know yet!

That's enough!

For a while, the eyes of all the scholars looking at Jiang Xiao were full of admiration!

His words have planted a seed of change in the hearts of everyone.
