Scholar’s Starry Sea

On Sunday night, Wu Bin, who was sitting at his desk at home, was looking at a book with keen interest pleasure, but what was rare was that he was not holding a textbook. It is a biography book given to him by Cai Guoping. Who is it about?

It is the top Physics figure who often lifts the coffin board to shout something, Isaac Newton.

The full name of the book is "The Last Alchemy Warlock: A Biography of Newton"

It was written by British novelist Michael Connelly.

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

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

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

So in his intense study plan, Wu Bin still squeezed a little time to read this biography, but didn't expect this reading and got stuck in it.

When I came to school on 2nd day, Wu Bin returned the biography he had read to Cai Guoping and said with a look of expectation: "teacher, do you have any other books about Newton?"

Cai Guoping, who took the book, laughed, "I can recommend you a few more books. The library in the school has them. You can borrow them and have a look."

"Okay, Thank you teacher."

Cai Guoping nodded drew a pen from the pen holder and began to write the title of the book on the sticky note. As he wrote, he asked: "Tell me what I feel after reading?"

" In a sense, let me understand the upper limit of human beings?" Wu Bin thought about replied.

"Haha, he does have this qualification."

Cai Guoping tore off the memo and handed it to Wu Bin, "How are you doing in other subjects? That’s it? Teacher Bi has come to ask several times, it’s more anxious than me."

"Tomorrow, it took an unexpected amount of time to learn Chemistry, so it disrupted my plan a bit. , Leading to the backward progress in biology learning, but tomorrow I should be able to watch them all."

"Wu Bin, what a big tone, I tell you, if you can’t pass 120 in English, I won’t let it go. People."

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

"I that's true, if the score does not satisfy me, don't blame me for shutting you down in the office. Don't think that you have passed the cell fusion question yesterday."

Jiang Lan also immediately added something.

"Please rest assured, the two teachers, I...I will try my best to get a score that satisfies the two teachers."

Wu Bin originally wanted to say that he would be able to pass the test. , But he was afraid of stimulating the two teachers, otherwise he would be a little bit embarrassed if he went to find two sets of Hengshui Legendary Grade difficulty papers.

Take advantage of the nodded satisfaction of the two teachers, Wu Bin hurriedly slipped out of the office.

During the lunch break, Wu Bin came to the school library after eating. He really couldn't wait for Newton's biography.

In fact, it is not that Wu Bin really admires Newton to this point, but that he saw the direction he should go forward in Newton's biography.

Yes, Newton’s biography does not tell you how to become a master of learning, but what you can do after becoming a master of learning.

Wu Bin reads books like biographies very quickly. During a lunch break, Wu Bin has read the books recommended by Cai Guoping on bits and pieces.

Genius, Deity, human limit, each line of several books reveals such information, and Wu Bin also feels that they are not wrong.

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

As long as there is a Nobel Prize in the 17th century, Newton is at least the man who won four Physics prizes. The construction of the mechanics system, the spectrometer, the reflection telescope, and the Gravity are all influential. exist.

In addition, in the Mathematics world, Newton's "Flow of Numbers", oh, that is, Calculus, who has made contemporary students hate and racked their brains, can easily conquer the highest Mathematics award, Fields Mathematics. prize.

There is a joke that Newton has worked hard to find out that Calculus is used to generate income for Cambridge. Of course it is just a joke.

In the seventeenth century, there were many Mathematics problems that needed Calculus to solve.

For example, when studying the motion of an object, find the instant speed, find the tangent of the curve, find the maximum value and minimum value of a function, etc.

It can be said that Calculus is the largest creation of all Mathematics after Euclidean geometry.

Actually in the 17th century, Calculus was at least studied by more than a dozen Peak Mathematics experts, such as Fermat, Wallis, Barrow, Kepler and so on.

But the last founders are generally considered to be Newton and Leibniz, which shows the great contribution of them.

There is also a short story in this. Seeing these two people are listed as the creators of Calculus, some people will think that they are a cooperative relationship, but in fact...doesn't exist!

After Newton was 30 years old, in addition to thinking about God and alchemy, the most things he did were all kinds of mischief and discredit Leibniz.

Because it was Leibniz who first published the Calculus paper.

So many people later said that for the honor of "the founder of Calulus", Newton used the rights of the president of the British Imperial Family Society to continuously suppress the weak and weak Blenitz.

this can be considered One of the arguments that Newton black scholars most often use to bombard other people's character.

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

All the discoveries and academics mentioned above were all made by Newton before the age of 26. It can be said that it is difficult to express Wu Bin's feelings in the four words unimaginable. I just want to ask if the system is right. Once also possessed by Newton.

Oh right, I just said that after the age of 30, Newton has been tinkering with alchemy, and alchemy is actually their Chemistry of that century, but it is too crude, at that time even the concept of elements No, oxygen is also called "phlogiston"

This is also the reason why Newton didn't find much in the Chemistry section, mainly because they were all on the wrong path back then.

Wu Bin firmly believes that if Newton was born in the age of Microscope and "modern periodic table", it would be very easy to win a few Chemistry awards.

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

"If I look farther than others , That’s because I’m standing on the shoulders of giants."

"I’m like a child playing on the beach, and I’m delighted to find smoother stones or more beautiful shells than usual. And what unfolds before me is a sea of ​​unexplored truth."

I believe most people have heard these two sentences. They come from Newton’s mouth, and later generations also like it. These two sentences are used to describe Newton's humbleness, but if these two sentences are substituted into the context in which Newton uttered these two sentences at the time, that would not be the meaning at all.

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

Actually, British scientist Hooke discovered Gravity's law a long time ago and deduced the correct formula. However, due to the poor Mathematics, he could only barely explain the circular motion of planets around the sun, and he did not recognize the dominance of celestial bodies. The power of operation is in fact universal, and it is "everything".

In addition, Tycho discovered 100 years ago that the revolution of a planet is actually an elliptical motion, and Kepler even proposed the three laws of planetary motion. Therefore, the scientific community pays little attention to Hooke's results.

But later, Mathematics madman Newton used Calculus to solve this problem extremely satisfactorily and successfully extended his three laws of mechanics to galaxy space, changing the Heaven and The old view of Earth's inconsistency was once regarded as the greatest discovery by the scientific community.

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

The next step is when the classic sentence comes on stage. Judging from Wu Bin's description in the book, Newton's tone at the time is estimated to be like this.

"Yeah, I really stand on the shoulders of giants."

What I think in my mind is, Mathematics, do you blame me?

Wu Bin almost laughed when I found it. I didn't expect that such things as partial science would also appear among the top scientists. This made him firmer in his determination to let all disciplines go hand in hand.

Later, this sentence was removed from the context, and it became a very classic humility, which is also very interesting.

The second sentence of picking up shells is similar.

In his later years, Newton was definitely not the god of Physics who was confessed by others. There were many enemies in the officialdom for several decades. Hehe, he can say that there are many people.

At a party, several new scientists questioned him, Physics is getting more and more expansive, but you haven't discovered new things for so long, so what's so amazing?

Then Newton threw this sentence to them, meaning that in fact, those of you who can't even pick up shells are eligible to come to BB me?

I have to say that the art of speaking in Newton, which has been in officialdom for several decades, is truly the culmination, and it has become such a legendary classic.

I believe that people who don’t understand the context can only feel the poetry-like artistic conception.

Jieyu, this is what Wu Bin read from a few short stories. After reading this paragraph, Wu Bin couldn’t help but glance at Gu Fan who was sitting next to him. He liked to mock him so much. Is it because great people are destined to have no friends?

Newton's life is a life of genius, a life of pioneering, but it is probably also a life without friends, not even a wife.

But at this point, Wu Bin actually resonates quite well.

"Where is learning fun when falling in love?"

"At this point, I confirm that the host has the potential to become a great scientist."

First Wu Bin was a little surprised when he heard the system's initiative to talk to him, so he asked, "How do you say?" '

"When initially scanning the host’s brain regions of interest, the host’s interest in the opposite sex is almost zero. This is rare in humans. This is a very good potential for being a great man."

'Oh? Really, it's rare to hear you praise me. Is there any reward? '

"Sorry, this question is not in the searchable range."

'Oh, system. '
