When in ancient times, culture can be said to be a sacred word, can truly study literature and science, all the nobles, because they have money, if they want to be busy, they are busy everywhere. Research work, that can be said to be an idiot, heaven and night.
Here I abandoned the culture and didn't talk, just talk about some of the ancient and modern phenomena of science.
In the foreign, in the initial time, research science is the noble scholars, because science and literature are somewhat different, literature can say as long as literacy, plus talent, you can take a place in the literary world, in other words, even a poor, as long as it is Willing to work hard, it can also come. But the science is different, such as the continuity, such as the new view, at least on the basis of knowing the present, and this must have time and energy. The poor should learn that there is only one way to go to the monastery as God, but it is actually possible to be a status of senior clergy. In ancient scientific research, there are several phenomena worth noting. First, you can do a scientific research. If you do a test, you need a lot of money, like Darwin to travel around the world to ask new theories. . Second, in recent centimes, almost all scientists are theologians, like Newton, etc., in the call of theology, study science, that is, their research is to verify the theory of God, so Many results are unable to involve some deeper places (mainly part of the contradiction between God). Third, sometimes the science is more like a game, rather than a research, such as the math in the thirteenth century, is a topic of each other, see who can stop the opponent, this will have a problem: a lot The research results found that people have retained the research results, unless it is apprentice, others don't know. The most famous event is to create a gentleman who pins the pilot of a dollar. If it is not an opponent to use some means, I am afraid I know how to solve a thousand equations more. Fourth, a lot of things are not publicly published, more time is the communication between individuals. Therefore, there is often a phenomenon that I will return later. In this process of communicating, there is no one to know how much useful thing is known. Fifth, the cluster of scholars. At that time, due to the small number of people in research, it was a shortage of teachers. If you follow a good teacher, you will naturally naturally, such as the Bo Master, a hundred years have a hundred years of mathematicians. It is the representative of this phenomenon. Sixth, the dissipation of cultural science. From ancient times, there are many times, war, religion and other factors, have a serious blow to the science association. For example, Christian opposition is suppressed, and Islam is the most regrettable thing in the history of Human Science and Technology. It can be said that every social change, the science is a disaster in the top. Seventh, the intestinal comparison of ancient disciplines, the actual situation is that many people are bonded. For example, Aquiim is a philosopher, mathematician, physicist and many other research results, Newton is a mathematician, physicist, or philosophical and theological scholars, etc. There are still many other features in the actual ancient times. I only say some common part, maybe it is not very complete and correct.
in China. Speaking of your heart, I think that ancient China is not scientific. Because China is an agricultural country, all research is biased toward practical nature. For example, for astronomy, we are just how to accurately through observational calendars, but foreign countries can infer the system of travel. China's sense of understanding has always been very good, such as literature, but rational is indeed insufficient. I really want to mention the example of China's huge contribution, but it is very difficult. Don't tell me four major inventions, I think it is China's shame, China does not know how to apply scientific achievements to practice. Types of printing and papermaking have the same role in the world, cultural communication, but China uses it to disseminate culture, record poetry and Qu Fu; foreign uses it for technology exchange. Fireproof, we made a fireworks, and the foreigners were a weapon. Compass we use it as a toy, foreign countries use it to discover the new world and build colonies. Depressed ... modern technology is rapid development. There have also many new situations. Basic science is indeed popular, but due to the speed of technology development, most people are difficult to catch up with the frequency of technology development. For a few more, ancient you have to learn a discipline's most profound knowledge. It is about 3-5 years, but now I have to study 10 years or even 20 years, it may just know a little hair. The broad and difficult to grasp, the phenomenon is the details of the discipline, and each university department is divided into countless small points. It is also good in this good aspect: good is to study less, more familiar and more familiar with the things you have studied; the defect is very small, like the original The whole is almost gone. And the details of the discipline, the actual study of each primary school, and the people studying are also less. To put it in a few, it is the result of the research may only be a few people to understand. The problem arising is that many times is difficult to know if the study is correct. Physics, chemistry is also good, most of them can solve the results of the verification research in the way they can use tests and observations; to mathematics and some new disciplines are a serious blow. It is better to actually say that some people have already spent a lot of original accumulation, but how to verify is a big problem. The proven of mathematics is now basically in dozens or even hundreds of pages. When many, it can understand that all the proven may have only a few, and these people don't necessarily have time and energy to see these. In fact, even if there is a mistake in the process, it is difficult to find that there have been many proven issues. As a result, the negligence of the derivation process was discovered. These issues are now difficult to avoid.
Science is progressing, but people can't keep up with the rhythm of scientific progress. Many of ancient and modern are the same, such as the most cutting-edge science actual or only a few people know. In some places, we are better than the ancients, the hybrids like disciplines, now very popular, but very few people can understand the two disciplines very profound, these problems are worthy of our reflection and attention, I also hope to be able to Find a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is likely that human factors will constrain scientific development, which is very unwell to see.
