Old Man Baishi in Wuyi style
Qi Baishi was originally a carpenter. He became a painter by self-taught and won the World Peace Prize. However, in the face of the success he has achieved, he is never satisfied. Instead, he constantly draws on the strengths of famous painters of all ages and changes the style of his works. His paintings after the age of 60 are obviously different from those before the age of 60. After the age of 70, his painting style changed again. After the age of 80, the style of his paintings changed again. It is said that Qi Baishi painted in the Wuyi style throughout his life; precisely because Baishi continued to work hard after his success, his works in his later years were more mature than his early works, forming a unique genre and style.
Newton tended to be conservative in his later years
Newton was one of the greatest scientists in the world, and his contribution to science was unprecedented. Newton made many great discoveries in his life: the three laws of mechanics, universal gravitation, optical rings, the theory of light particles, the law of cooling and calculus. However, in his later years, his research fell into the scope of Aristotle's Platonic theory and could not extricate himself. . He spent ten years researching the existence of God and found nothing. From this point of view, even a great scholar cannot be said to have achieved the slightest achievement once he falls into the outdated category.
In front of the Holy Circle of Authority
In 1900, the famous professor Max Planck was walking in his garden with his son. He looked depressed and said to his son regretfully: "My son, It's a pity that there is a discovery today. It is as important as Newton's discovery." He proposed the hypothesis of quantum mechanics and Planck's formula. He was frustrated that this discovery destroyed Newton's perfect theory, which he had always admired and devoutly believed in as the authority. He finally announced that he was canceling his hypothesis. Human beings should have benefited from authority, but unexpectedly suffered from it, thus stagnating physical theory for decades.
The 25-year-old Einstein dared to break through the sacred circle of authority, made a bold breakthrough, admired Planck's hypothesis and extended it in depth, proposed the light quantum theory, and laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. Later, he deliberately destroyed Newton's theory of absolute time and space, created the theory of relativity that shocked the world, and became famous in one fell swoop, becoming an even greater authority.
The discovery of oxygen
Why do objects burn? The answer to the authoritative theory in the 18th century was the "calcin theory", which believed that objects that can burn contain a special substance called "calcin".
In 1774, a British scientist named Priestley discovered that when he heated mercury oxide, the pure gas decomposed from it could cause the object to burn. What kind of thing is this? Priestley habitually named it "air without phlogiston" based on the common sense of "phlogiston theory".
In 10 years of the same year, Priestre traveled to France with his experiments and was received by the chemist Lavoisier. When Lavoisier learned of Priestley's experiment, he immediately redid it and obtained the new gas, which he was the first to name oxygen. He then established the oxidation theory of combustion through thinking and research. This is a revolution in the history of chemistry. For this reason, in addition to admiring Lavoisier's courageous spirit in daring to take a step over "common sense," we must also lament that Priestley was pulled like a nightmare by "common sense."
Uncovering the layers of celestial bodies
For a long time, the theory of the "geocentric system" of the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy has dominated people's minds. Ptolemy believed that the earth Staying stationary in the center, the sun, moon, planets and stars all orbit the earth. Later, Copernicus overturned Ptolemy's theory. Copernicus clarified the heliocentric theory in "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies", telling us that the sun is the center of the universe and the earth revolves around the sun. Later, Bruno accepted and developed Copernicus' heliocentric theory, believing that the universe is infinite and the solar system is just a celestial system in the infinite universe. Galileo observed celestial bodies through a telescope and discovered that: the surface of the sun is uneven, Jupiter has four satellites, the sun has sunspots, the Milky Way is composed of countless stars, Venus and Mercury have waxing and waning phenomena, etc. Soon, Kepler analyzed Tycho Brahe's observation data and discovered that the planets move along elliptical orbits, and proposed three laws of planetary motion, which laid the foundation for Newton's discovery of the law of universal gravitation... Therefore, it can be said: Science is constantly discovering The process of truth is a process of continuous innovation.
