"Science" does not mean "technology", re -understand the nature of science

17 min read
In modern social life, people often connect the words “science” and “technology” together, and are used to “technology”.
On September 5, 1988, when Comrade Deng Xiaoping met with the President Husak, Czechoslovakia, he proposed that “science and technology is the first productive forces”, which set off the upsurge of the people to attach great importance to and develop science and technology. OneA large number of scientific researchers have devoted themselves to the great cause of science and education. A large number of scientific and technological companies have sprung up like rain, which has greatly promoted and promoted the modern development of our society.
In fact, “science” and “technology” have both close connections and important differences.In layman’s terms, scientifically solve theoretical problems and technical solution to practical problems.
The problem to solve science is to discover the relationship between facts and phenomena in nature, and establish theory to link the facts and phenomena; the task of technology is to apply scientific achievements to practical problems.Science is mainly dealing with unknown areas, and its progress, especially major breakthroughs, is unpredictable; technology is working in a relatively mature field and can make more accurate planning.
Technology is not equal to science
“Historical Records.Volume 12 Nine.”” Freedom Biography “said,” People of the medical and food technology, Jiao Shen is very capable, it is heavy ears “, Qing.Hou Fangyu’s “Book with Jia Sanjia” also has the expression of “the sexuality under the feet is good, the technology is good, the joy is not necessary, and it is not necessary to use it. HoweverYou can seeThere is the word “technology” in ancient Chinese, which means professional skills.
The interpretation of technology in “Ci Hai” is: the general term for collecting, processing, transforming, transmitting, querying, and searching information.It can be seen that technology can be used as a scientific application method, but it is by no means science!Conversely, science is not the same as technology.
In 1919, during the May 4th Movement, the vast number of bloody youths raised the flags of “Mr. De” and “Mr. Sai” to fiercely fire to feudal etiquette and feudal autocracy.The “Mr. Sai” here is the transliteration of the English “Science”, which refers to modern natural science laws and scientific spirit.
“Science” is a translated word, English science.In the early days of China, it translated it into “grid learning”, and the meaning of “grid to know”.Japan has felt the division of science in the West since the 19th century, and the meaning of “science of division” and translating it into “science”.However, even in the West, the word Science first appeared in the 18th century.”Science” was born during the ancient Greek city state 2500 years ago.
How to understand the nature of science
In terms of understanding “science”, the Chinese have a strong tendency to “apply”, which is related to our cultural traditions.Chinese culture is pragmatic and emphasizes “the use of learning.”When Confucianism advocates the idea of “the book has its own thousands of clocks, the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu”, it exposes the utilitarianism and pragmatism of Chinese culture.Knowledge has its own independence value.
Take the ancient Chinese mathematics monograph- “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic” as an example. It is a collection of application issues, collecting 246 applications related to production and living practice.I can’t see any familiar mathematics words such as “axioms” and “theorem” here. There are no integers or line definitions, and there are no proofs and reasoning. All actual calculation questions are seen in life.
This cultural tradition reflected in the understanding of science, that is, emphasizing that science is a activity that human beings must spontaneously engage in the needs of material survival. After leaving the application, we have left the national economy and people’s livelihood. We cannot understand what is “science”.EssenceThis loses its purity for the science dedicated to exploring the essence of things.
At the same time, the scientific concept of pragmatism has also led to a fallacy of scientific history.Now that the goal and motivation of science is considered to meet the needs of human material life, all nations should be scientific in all historical periods.But the fact is that science is not a common cultural phenomenon in human history.All nations and all cultures have their own technical traditions, but science and pure science only appear in ancient Greece.
To truly understand “science”, we need to enter the West and ancient Greece context.But why is science born in ancient Greece?How does geometry, astronomy, geography, and mechanics of the four universities produce and affect the world?These answers are“The Story of Science”In a book.
“The Story of Science” produced in June 2020
Professor Wu Guosheng, Director of the Department of Science University of Tsinghua University, a new masterpiece–“The Story of Science” is a scientific spiritual enlightenment book with an authoritative academic background and easy to understand.From Aristotle to Plato, analyze the mysteries of science through story analysis of the Greek city -state civilization, helping everyone understand science and understand science.
Einstein said to Swze in 1953: “The development of western science is based on two great achievements, that is: the formal logic system invented by the Greek philosopher (Geng Geng Geng in EuropeIn the middle), and through the system’s experiments, it is found that the causal relationship may be found (during the Renaissance) “”EssenceGreek science is undoubtedly the true source of modern science.
The interpretation of science in “Ci Hai” is:“Taking certain objects as the scope of research, in accordance with experiments and logical reasoning, find unified and true objective laws and truths.”Science is studying objective laws and truths, and it itself has its own value!The scientific exploration exists in the study of the mysteries of all things in the world. Whether you study it or not, it itself is there. Its discovery itself has a high degree of accidentality, rather than blindly pursuing utilitarianism!
China needs to sink down to be a scientific person
Since modern times, the Chinese have worked a lot in learning how to “do” science, but they have a lot of class in “understanding” science.Although China today, the volume of science and technology has entered the world’s advanced ranks, we are more and more realized that China’s scientific and technological innovation is insufficient and independent intellectual property rights are not enough. This is the lack of the price of correct understanding of science.
In 2005, when the state Prime Minister Wen Jiabao visited Qian Xuesen, Qian Laofa asked: “Why do our schools always cultivate outstanding talents?”The future development of the country, the big problem of the future fate of the people!
In fact, one of the paths to solve this problem includes correcting education, understanding science correctly, and cultivating the correct scientific outlook on the country and nation, and can truly sink to be scientific!
In recent years, the number of academic fraud in the scientific and technological circles is not uncommon. This means that some of our scholars, experts, and high -intellectuals, including many students, have deviated from the science channel.Terrible phenomenon!We do science to explore science itself, rather than scientific application value and other interests and honors brought about by the results of inquiry. This is the pure red heart of science!
In addition, due to utilitarianism, many students tend to choose applications, find jobs, and come to money fast in the future when filling in volunteers in college entrance examinations, but not many basic theoretical research majors.As everyone knows, the continuous research breakthroughs of basic disciplines represented by mathematics and physics have brought about the prosperity of science and technology today!In the end, the lonely people are a minority, and the person who sitting on the cold bench is the person who can strip the utilitarian obstacle!
In 2013, Weibo launched a survey of “mathematics rolling out of the college entrance examination”, which caused a great response and resonance in the public.”Do I need to use functions to buy vegetables?” Asking such and so was very arrogant.
Over time, when the ZTE incident made the Chinese people deeply feel the tranquility of people for the first time. When Huawei faced the full blockade of the United States, it opened the spare tire chip in the confidential cabinet.Must be in your own hands!And all this is a group of talents who are rooted in science and truly scientific and scientific!
Rejuvenating Chinese science is just right
On March 29, 2019, Jack Ma said at the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition Awards Ceremony:“Mathematics, like philosophy, is the basis of all science and the basis for promoting the progress of the entire society … This is an era that everyone needs to be based on mathematics.”
On July 12, 2019, four ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly formulated the “Working Plan on Strengthening the Research on Mathematics Science”. On September 2, Premier Li Keqiang emphasized that “basic research has no shortcuts to be able to hold the National Outstanding Youth Science Foundation Symposium on September 2nd.Let’s go.
Mathematics is the basis of basic research and the main tool of other scientific research.”Whether it is a business giant or a high -level government, they are aware of the importance of encouragement and development of basic subjects represented by mathematics, and revitalize Chinese science at the same time!
Italian painter Raphael Sanxi wrote a profound mural work such as “Athens College” from 1510 to 1511, which is now collected in the Italian Vatican Museum.
The painting is based on the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, one of the things of Athens colleges, as the theme, with extremely compatible and open -minded ideas to break the limits of time and space, and brings together cultural celebrities representing philosophy, mathematics, music, astronomy and other disciplines to rememberIn the form of the golden age in history, the author’s longing for a better future, expressing the concentrated praise of wisdom and truth in humans.
The reason why ancient Greece could become a scientific rise and prosperous region is from the batch of batch of Plato, Aristotle, Akamid, Oujiri, etc.Those who are persistent in pure science and philosophical research do not ask for others, but seek truth.
China has a history of civilization of 5,000 years. Chinese culture has a long history, the Chinese people’s hard work and wisdom, the inheritance of culture and the excellent will of will is the basis for us to revitalize Chinese science.
Science is not the same as technology. China needs to sink to be scientific!In a better and better material living environment, I hope we can have more correct scientific views and scientific history, persevere in scientific research, seeking truth, and truly focusing on science!

However, the research and development and innovation of technology must be inseparable from the correct support of scientific theory. Science is not born of technology. Many people think that scientific research should serve social production. This is a biased view. Science science is scientific.It should be just the cornerstone of technology, just like the growth of the soil, but the soil should not exist due to growing plants.

The universe is so complicated. At present, human beings only work hard to discover and apply. Many recognized sciences in the past thousands of years have been identified as’ ‘unscientific’.Application technology is a good way to identify whether it is scientific. It can be said that application technology is true science.There is no all -round technology application so -called pure science is not scientific or will be verified as pseudo -science in the future.With the low level of human technology, technology is greater than pure science.Perhaps one million years of human beings may have the pure science of the universe.

Science always discovers the world, out of human curiosity for nature; technology always tries to use science and experience to transform the world, out of human desire to survive.Knowing the world is a response to the objective world, respect for nature, and transforming the world is a subjective movement of objectiveness and obedience to nature.Nature will say to humans: humans are great, but they are always small compared to the universe.
