In middle school, our teacher warned us when teaching argumentative essays, "Remember not to come up with titles like 'On Reading' or 'Responsibility and Happiness.' Look at the authors of these articles. You are not at that level yet, so you can't come up with such titles." Today is no exception, we are just talking about a very small part of seeking knowledge. Each perspective should be touched upon lightly, stopping at the surface, or in other words, just scratching the surface. In reality, even if you want to say more, there's nothing more to say. (After writing this, I realized that there is actually no trace of seeking knowledge in it).
It was just about a month ago when a classmate received two collections of Liu Cixin's novels from the teacher. I borrowed them and read a few pieces. I really didn't understand the worldview of "The Mountain" piece, I read it in a daze. At that time, I finally read the original work of "The Wandering Earth" and understood the statement that "The Wandering Earth 2 is completely original by the production team." The dedication of the Earth faction is the most touching part of this novel for me. Science may be misunderstood, but those who believe in science will always remain faithful to it. In "The Three-Body Problem," there is a very appropriate saying that top scientists should treat science as their faith and never waver.
Kurata Masaru once compared our universe to a pond in his article "The Educational Journey of a Physicist," and we are the fish in this pond. Suddenly, a fish is taken out of the water, and this physicist fish finds that the world outside the water does not conform to the existing laws, believing that the world outside the water is incomprehensible. We humans may also be like this, in the process of seeking knowledge, we may encounter things that are fundamentally incomprehensible - such as time dilation, which may actually be a law of this world. Our physics teacher also warns us that in studying physics, we cannot rely on intuition.
Liu Cixin's novel "Morning Dao" regards the exploration of a unified law by physicists as futile. Some physicists are willing to pay the price of their lives to know this knowledge, hoping to know this law before they die, just as some mathematicians are willing to sacrifice their lives for the ultimate proof of the Goldbach Conjecture.
After obtaining knowledge, they will die, and this knowledge cannot contribute to human society. Their actions are only for themselves, for their own scientific faith. In the documentary "The Mathematicians Chosen by Mathematics," some mathematicians answer, "I like mathematics because it is very simple and pure."
When people look curiously at the sky, the laws are not far away.
