Chapter 655： Methodology

In addition to applied science, Wu Changqing also attaches great importance to the development of theoretical science.

The so-called applied science refers to science and technology that are based on experiments and can be intuitively confirmed and demonstrated by the real world.

For example, steelmaking involves directly smelting iron and steel. This kind of technology is applied science.

On the other hand, theoretical science is to conduct theoretical research and guess those sciences that are difficult to conduct experiments.

For example, the theory of relativity, black hole theory, string theory, etc., these are some conjectures that cannot be verified or are more difficult to verify science.

There is no obvious boundary between the two, and the two complement each other.

Applied science needs to be studied along the theoretical science as the direction, the existing theories, and then the practical applications are researched on the basis of theories.

With the development of applied technology, more theoretical conjectures can be confirmed in turn.

In short, both are important.

At the end of August, a special debate was held in the university hall. Wu Changqing attended the debate in person.

The debate brought together all the scientific researchers in the university hall, as well as all kinds of scholars, wise men, and celebrities in society.

No matter what the result of theoretical research or philosophical discussion, you can speak in this great debate and have a collision of ideas.

This kind of ideological collision of elites has made great progress in the progress of science and technology.

Just like in the original time and space, Einstein debated quantum mechanics with the Copenhagen School headed by Heisenberg at the Solvay Conference.

This kind of fierce collision does not matter whether you win or lose. The important collision of ideas accelerates the development of quantum mechanics.

Although Einstein lost, he designed a ‘light box’ thought experiment that refuted the Copenhagen School, which greatly helped Bohr prove the uncertainty principle.

If it weren't for Einstein, the people of the Copenhagen School would need all sorts of insights to design this kind of thought experiment. Whether they can come up with it is a question.

Debates and discussions between great gods are very important to each other.

Working behind closed doors is certainly not as effective as academic discussions.

In this debate meeting, Wu Changqing also met some historical celebrities.

For example, Wang Fuzhi.

He and Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi are known as the three major thinkers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

In history, he has always been loyal to Daming and actively participated in various anti-Qing activities.

Now, he recognizes both Dahua's contribution to the exorcism of the Tartars and his grudge against Wu Changqing's stealing the throne.

Therefore, although he lived in Dahua and did not resist Dahua, he did not go to the Dahua court as an official. Instead, he devoted himself to academic research.

Now the emergence of a large amount of scientific knowledge of Dahua has opened his eyes, and his understanding of the world is deeper than that of the original time and space.

This time, he proposed "Methodology".

The so-called methodology is a method theory for understanding and transforming the world.

The birth of this methodology is actually a criticism of the idealism of the old age by Wang Fuzhi.

There was too much idealism in the various previous academic theories, which left him speechless.

Tengu eclipse day is a symbol of disaster?

Wang Fuzhi is not opposed to this kind of conjecture, but he asks that this kind of conjecture be put forward, and those who support this kind of conjecture should come up with a theoretical basis instead of making nonsense based on feelings.

In fact, anyone who is smarter knows that the so-called eclipse days of tengu, auspicious signs, and the gift of monarch power are very nonsense. They all rely on a mouth, and there is no theoretical basis or practical evidence to prove it.

However, people in the past knew that Gui knew, but they had no good way to face this kind of idealism.

Before there is a better way, other people know the world, don't they have to rely on subjective views.

Wang Fuzhi proposed a method to solve this problem, namely methodology.

In methodology, natural sciences and dialectics are mainly promoted.

That is to use the falsifiable natural sciences to dialect all issues, pay attention to facts as the basis, and reject idealism.

His methodology caused a great sensation at the opening of the debate.

After all, before this, idealism was the mainstream in China.

For example, Zhu Xi, a powerful man in the Song Dynasty, was a master of idealism.

And idealism has always been the doctrine that the government respects.

After all, it is very effective to use idealism to rule the people. Just to say to the people, life and death have fate, wealth and wealth are in the sky, let you people who are forced to believe in destiny, and don’t be dissatisfied with society. You are poor in your life, not in the country. wrong.

People who believe in this doctrine will naturally be more obedient.

Officially respected, naturally it is easy to become the mainstream of society.

But this kind of doctrine, in Wang Fuzhi's view, is no longer keeping up with the times.

For example, Zhu Xi's theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements believes that everything in the world is made up of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This subjective view has been defeated by the objective achievements of Dahuali.

For example, Dahua has separated more than a dozen gases from the air, including oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.

The so-called gold, Dahua has also confirmed the existence of more than a dozen metal elements such as gold, silver, copper, and iron.

In the face of such iron-clad facts, it is a very stupid practice to continue to praise Zhu Cheng's Confucianism.

When Wang Fuzhi proposed his methodology, he violently criticized Zhu Cheng's Confucianism in the debate, causing an uproar at the scene.

Among them, it is not only because this doctrine has attacked the previous power.

More importantly, this methodology directly refutes the theoretical basis of the emperor's gift and is a direct challenge to the belief system of loyalty to the emperor.

Why Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and Confucianism were liked by the court, because these two theories emphasized the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

Now Wang Huzhi directly denied the emperor's sacredness, which is disrespectful.

Many people looked at Wu Changqing cautiously, wanting to see the emperor's reaction.

People far away looked lonely.

People who are close to each other can see clearly.

However, to their surprise, Wu Changqing didn't look angry and looked indifferent.

Of course Wu Changqing won't be angry anymore, because he himself is a materialist and hates the kind of idealism that empties his head.

Moreover, in Wu Changqing's view, it doesn't matter whether the people below are loyal or loyal.

Confucianism used to promote the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor for thousands of years, but as long as people can't survive, there will still be countless rebellions.

And now, as long as you feed the people below and let them live a good life, even if Wu Changqing jumps to the street and says that Lao Tzu is usurping the throne and is a rebellious court thief, others will applaud from the side and say, "Urture well, usurp it well."

The truth is that the country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change.

Human nature is selfish, and wanting to use a set of thoughts to obliterate human nature is simply wishful thinking.
