A scientist once said that the reason why human beings continue to live and thrive is that they have always used the knowledge within the framework to explore the world outside the framework. Curiosity and imagination shape today’s civilization.
Since ancient times, human beings have been thinking about these questions. Where do they come from and where do they go? Why will this world appear, and why will it decline?
These questions are a bit scientific, a bit philosophical, and even more "mysterious".
Therefore, some people created "theology" and believed that everything in the world was created by "God". Of course, the East and the West have different views of “god”.
In Eastern civilization, there have always been myths and legends about "Pangu created the world" and "Nuwa created man". In Western civilization, there is also a saying that "God created man in seven days." In the final analysis, Pangu, Nuwa and God are all "gods" in the eyes of humans.
At this time, some people will wonder why these myths and legends exist? In addition, do these so-called "gods" really exist in reality?
In fact, the so-called myths and legends are just fantasy content "made up" by human beings relying on their imagination, and they are simply untrue. As for God, it is easier to understand that he is just a character that comes from human "fantasy".
Regarding the so-called "god" and the so-called "God", Mr. Yang Zhenning has put forward his own opinions.
Mr. Yang Zhenning said:
If what you call God is in the shape of a person, then I don’t think so; if you ask whether there is a creator, then I think there is, because the structure of the entire world is not accidental...
These are not Where did something like accidental, powerful, and influential come from? You can choose any name you want. If there is no image of a person in it, then I think everyone will accept it... If you must add an image of a person, this is your freedom, but this is unfounded...
Mr. Yang Zhenning's words are very interesting, and they are mainly related to these three points.
First of all, all laws in this world do not arise out of thin air, but should have "roots".
Secondly, the so-called "God" or "Creator" are not the "gods" in fairy tales.
Third, the appearance of this world is not accidental. All natural phenomena and rules imply "inevitable" situations.
To put it bluntly, In Mr. Yang Zhenning’s view, such exquisite material laws did not arise out of thin air, but may have been created by some kind of mechanism.
For example, a diamond with an exquisite structure is a product of the combination of physical and chemical laws in extreme environments.
For example, various scientific laws that humans can explore can be interconnected and applied to the earth's environment.
is like Newton proposed the "law of universal gravitation" . Why did it shock the whole world? Because of the emergence of this law, it has been officially announced that human scientific theories have extended to the universe. This is a great theory for mankind to understand the universe.
Therefore, Newton became one of the most influential scientists in the history of science and is known as the "Father of Physics".
happened to be the "Father of Physics". In his later years, he actually believed in "theology" and came up with the idea that "God" would exist in this world.
We might as well think about a question, why did Newton think that there is a God in this world?
In fact, as Newton continued to study, he discovered that the "law of universal gravitation" had already existed before it was discovered by humans.Who created the "law of universal gravitation"? In other words, Who created the conditions for the "Law of Gravity" to take effect?
After thinking about it to the end, Newton will have an idea. Human beings are the "discoverers" of various natural laws. So who is the "creator" of human society and natural laws?
Slowly, Newton felt that "God" really existed. Perhaps there is a certain difference between the "God" that Newton believed and the "god" we understand.
The "God" that physicists believe should be a kind of "ultimate rule" . Even Einstein believes that there are still things in this world that we cannot predict.
In fact, when Mr. Yang Jiang was 96 years old, he also said with emotion: "Whether it is about astronomy, physics, biology, etc., the laws of each discipline are integrated and interoperable. To complement each other, it applies to everyone. I believe that this orderly nature cannot be accidental, but must be planned and controlled? Otherwise, how can there be so many universal and eternal laws?"
In fact, Mr. Yang Jiang's statement is the embodiment of the "ultimate rules" mentioned above. Under one ultimate rule, there are many laws that can be integrated and understood. From this, the world came into being.
When talking about the "ultimate rule", the first thing that comes to our mind should be the "Tao" mentioned by Lao Tzu.
What is the "Tao"? Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries. A rule that can be understood but cannot be fully stated. The emergence of this kind of rules has given the universe the sun, moon and stars, the four seasons of the year, and the so-called revolution and rotation cycles of the earth . It seems that everything in this universe operates according to an "ultimate rule".
I can only say that humankind’s exploration of science and the source of the world will never stop. At the moment, we can only use countless nouns to summarize and summarize.
There is still a long way to go to use the knowledge within the framework to explore the world outside the framework.
