Scientists understand art.

"Scientists are people who engage in systematic activities to acquire knowledge to describe and predict the natural world."

Russell once said: "All exact knowledge-at least what I stand for-belongs to science; All doctrines involving knowledge beyond precision belong to theology. But there is still an area between theology and science that is attacked by both sides; This no-man's land is philosophy. "

This sentence should be added as follows: between science and theology, philosophy is the main recourse to human reason; It is art that attracts human emotions.

Li Zhengdao once said: Science and art are inseparable, just like two sides of the same coin. Their common foundation is human creativity, and their goal is the universality of truth.

It seems that the two disciplines are completely unrelated, bypassing Qianshan, and finally meeting at the top of the mountain after a hundred turns. Just as scientists believe that all natural laws follow simple principles, artists simply describe this complex and noisy era in their own way. From one experiment to another, the camp of scientists and artists is like two groups of mountaineering teams that are not afraid of the wind and snow: one group starts from the southern foot of Mount Everest, and all the way from Mount Everest North Road, all in order to stand in the highest place in the world, overlooking the vastest Yuan Ye and looking up at the bluest sky.

Leonardo da vinci completely integrated his views on science into his artistic creation, copied the anatomy of human body, and accurately explored the science of composition, making his works perceptual, rational and ahead of the times.

Galileo had a good training in painting, so he was very keen on capturing light and shadow, which led to the phenomenon of "the earth shines again" when observing the moon.

In Europe in the15th century, it was the rekindling of the fire of art that brought the spark of science, and modern science flourished from then on.

In modern times, the relationship between science and art is still inseparable.

Wang Xiaohui went to the Nano Science Park and took photos with a super-high power microscope. Since then, the remaining shrimp shells have become beautiful scenery connected with the sea and the sky. Even the cut nails have become standard Japanese ink paintings. ...

The magnetic liquid technology, which is at the forefront of science, has become a visual work with subversive shape and color in the hands of Swiss scientist Fabian Oefner.

There is an interesting saying on the internet: art is the least scientific science, and science is the least artistic art; But the highest realm of art is a science, and the highest realm of science is an art.

There is a special program in CCTV's Talk, and three people are invited to attend the lecture, namely, Fan Ceng, a famous contemporary painter, Yang Zhenning, a world-famous physicist, and Mo Yan, who just won the Nobel Prize in Literature at that time. The name of the lecture is "Dialogue between Science and Literature". Yang represents science, Mo represents literature, and science and literature have a dialogue. What about the bridge of dialogue? It is art. Fan Ceng is the special host of the lecture. He mentioned in the lecture: "Wu Miao exists in both science and literature, but its performance is different. After scientists realize it, they have to go to the laboratory to prove that writers can write articles directly after they realize it. " Isn't the artist real? Wu Miao may have the finishing touch of a painting, a cheerful and wild chorus in the movement, and the elegant charm of the painter. ...

Einstein is a famous physicist in the world. Most people only think of him as a "madman" with messy hair and obsessed with science. But who knows, during the period before the publication of general relativity, his wife left him, and mathematicians set foot in the study of general relativity one after another, so the study of constructing formulas fell into a bottleneck ... He was very nervous and lonely. What science can't solve is handed over to art, and the rhythm and melody of the violin float beautifully outside the window, arousing a sleeping thought and a hundred-year ripple in the history of science.

Someone said, "Since ancient times, science and art, criticism and creation. This is a war without winning or losing. In this war, the former often wins, but it is of no use to people. The latter is the seed of spreading faith, love, comfort and eternity; Constantly entrenched in excellent sites, constantly absorbing and spreading. "

I don't agree with this view. Even if the direction of the times leads to the temporary rise and fall of science and art, gold can only be seen when it is in the waves. Who can say who is the winner in science and art? In my opinion, the so-called competition is just that science and art meet the different needs of human development in different times.

Imagine: if there is no synthetic insulin, wouldn't it be painful for diabetics to rely only on pianist's performance, painter's sketch and calligrapher's splashing ink? Can you whitewash Taiping?

However, if there is no camera, microscope and other optical instruments to explore the mysteries of life, reveal the evolution process, and not record the wonderful moments of life, will it be a pity?

From 19 15, every scientist has an Einstein in his heart, and every scientist knows art.
