The morning light shone into the large classroom of the East Courtyard, plating Zhao Gongzi with a layer of glittering golden light.

His gaze slowly swept over the disciples, and after his earnest teaching over the past year, they had become the top mathematical talents in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, it's time to push them yourself and sell that crucial step.

I heard Teacher Zhao say in a deep voice:

"For three generations, there have been countless sages, each of whom has used his own way to understand and explain the world. But so far, all the great scholars on this earth, including Tessie, are philosophers. ”

"Philosophy uses speculation to find the origin and laws of the world, so every philosopher can put forward his own theory to explain the laws of the universe, but no one can convince anyone."

"Science, unlike all philosophies, does not rely on subjective speculation, but on mathematics and experiments to find the laws of the world."

After speaking, he said word by word: "This is us, the biggest difference from others!" ”

"Yes, Master!" The disciples responded in unison, this kind of special feeling, it is so good.

"Why replace speculation with mathematics and experiments? Because of all the disciplines, mathematics is the one that leads to the most clear and accurate conclusions. Everyone has studied Ouzi's "Geometric Primitives", and he has deduced hundreds of accurate propositions from the five public assumptions. This unparalleled precision contrasts sharply with the ambiguity of the philosophers! ”

"And one of the two fists of scientific research is mathematics, so it can bring us accurate knowledge!"

"The other fist is the experiment. Xunzi said, 'Therefore, if you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; Not near the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground. The so-called 'so-called' things are not seen and heard, can An speculate whether they are there or not? So while science advocates bold assumptions, it must reject any subjective assumptions. Because our intuitive judgment is so inaccurate, the only thing we can really believe is mathematical calculations and objective experiments! ”

That's why science is so reliable! It allows us not to argue with others, but to draw conclusions according to the scientific method! ”

"For example, if someone says that the sun, moon and stars revolve around the earth, then we build a telescope and let them see it for themselves. For example, if they don't believe in gravity, we will show them the math! ”

"Science is there, whether you believe it or not, it will not affect its correctness!"

That's why as a teacher, we should take the initiative to cut off our relationship with philosophy, because we are fundamentally different. Although the teacher often mentions Xunzi's views, and does not deny the origin of science and Xunzi, as long as we refine these two fists, we can say goodbye to all philosophy. Since then, he has independently developed countless accurate, practical, and world-changing knowledge! ”

"Long live science!" The eldest disciple couldn't help but shout.

Zhao Hao glanced at him helplessly, but the other disciples also shouted.

"Long live science! Master is great! ”

That kind of strong admiration almost made Zhao Gongzi drunk alive. It has greatly boosted his self-confidence, which has been somewhat weak recently.

He scratched his head in confusion, glanced at Ma Xianglan who was smiling, and couldn't understand why he had just started to speak, and the disciples were so excited.

When Lao Tzu went to heaven, he didn't shock them like this.

The reason why he could not understand the excitement of his disciples was that he was looking back on this history of science from the perspective of God. Naturally, these things are so simple that they are taken for granted.

But the disciples who came into contact with these for the first time were deeply shocked by this epoch-making courage and genius.

~~

After the disciples calmed down their excitement, Zhao Hao continued:

"Okay, after solving the 'why', I'll teach you 'how'."

"Yes, Master!" The disciples looked solemn and reverent.

"In fact, I have already given you all the models of scientific research methods." I heard Mr. Zhao say in a deep voice.

"Geometry Original?" Yingwu's disciples said softly.

"Yes, the most important thing in this book is not how many geometric propositions are proved." Zhao Hao glanced at Hua Shuyang and Wang Dingjue, yes, it's the two of you.

The two animals have conquered Chapter 8 and are on their way to Chapter 9......

Rather, it is an axiomatic system established by Ouzi. He was very genius in giving five basic postulates, and then deduced more than 400 propositions from these five hypotheses step by step. ”

Because he uses precise mathematical methods, as long as the five public assumptions are not overturned, all the deduced propositions will never be problematic. This kind of scientific system is called the axiomatic system. ”

"This method of starting from a few most basic and obvious axioms, and finally deducing the entire discipline system step by step, is to teach you the method of scientific research."

Zhao Hao said, his gaze swept over all the students again, and he said in a firm tone: "No matter which direction you go in the future, you should do it under the guidance of this method." ”

"Yes, Master," the disciples replied in a deep voice.

"In order to convince you of the doubt, Secretary Ma copied this book of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science" and sent it to you for study."

Zhao Hao said sorry to Newton in his heart, your epoch-making masterpiece is about to be assigned to someone else's name. But thinking of this kind of thing, Niu Zi often does it, and there is no special apology.

I just don't know, when Niu Zi goes to school a hundred years from now, will he feel particularly familiar when he reads this book?

I guess when he was a child, he would have felt this way when he learned to look at the spectrum with a prism, right?

I hope he doesn't cry out.

"This book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science" is completely based on the methods of "Geometric Primitives". First, a few definitions are given, then a few laws of motion and reasoning rules are given, and then through a series of reasoning and calculations, some universal conclusions are obtained, and an axiomatic system of science is constructed. ”

"Finally, these conclusions are applied to practice, and finally compared with experimental data and observation data, which is a complete scientific research on mechanics."

Then Teacher Zhao quietly showed the disciples a great incitement:

"I hope that in the future, you can also use this method to establish your own axiomatic science system!"

"We remembered Master!" The disciples' hearts beat too fast, and they finally understood where they were going after a year and a half of following the teacher.

Follow the different paths blazed by the teachers, move forward into different fields, and finally legislate for this subject! Become the Master's mantle in this discipline!

Even Secretary Ma couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, fantasizing about whether he should also choose a discipline and be the successor of the mantle of the son in the future?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Well, compared to one of the heirs of the mantle, the slave family prefers to be a unique secretary.

ps. Chapter 2, ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket~~~
