    Why are there no more scientific gods like Albert Einstein and Newton?

    When Einstein was a child when he handed in his manual homework at school, he handed over a small bench that was very bad, and the teacher was very angry, and the teacher was very angry and said that he would never find a worse bench in this world.

    But Einstein didn't think so, calmly took out two worse small benches from the desk, and told the teacher that the previous two were even worse, and finally the teacher had to be convinced.

    Since we are talking about Einstein, we can judge him as the best scientist in the world.

    From the perspective of scientific contributions, Einstein's contribution is absolutely second to none, and if it is said to be the best in the world, it is naturally not comparable to the awesome people we all know. The reason why the supermodel dares to say this is because what Master Landau said is favorable.

    In stripping away the influence of Master Landau, we re-examine the contributions of both Newton and Einstein.

    Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) was the discoverer of the law of gravitation, and in 1687 he published the Mathematical Principia of Natural Philosophy, which expounded the three laws of motion and gravitation.

    In 1679, R. Hooke wrote to him that gravity should be inversely proportional to the square of distance, that the orbit of a projectile high above the earth should be elliptical, and that if there was a slit in the earth, the projectile would return to its original place, rather than a spiral toward the center of the earth, as Newton had envisaged. Newton did not reply, but adopted Hooke's observations. Based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion and the work of others, he mathematically derived the laws of universal gravitation.

    Newton unified the mechanics and celestial mechanics of objects on earth into a basic mechanical system, and founded the classical mechanical theory system. It correctly reflects the macroscopic motion law of low-speed motion of macroscopic objects, and realizes the first great unification of natural science. This is a leap forward in human understanding of the natural world.

    Albert Einstein (1879 -1955) published "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" in the German Annals of Physics in 1905, which expounded for the first time the basic ideas and basic contents of the special theory of relativity: the principle of relativity and the principle of invariance of the speed of light (the idea that the speed of light in a vacuum is the same in any direction and for any inertial frame).

    In 1916, Einstein completed the long ** "Fundamentals of General Relativity", in this article, Einstein first called the theory of relativity that was previously applicable to inertial frames the special theory of relativity, and called the principle that only the physical laws of inertial frames are also true as the principle of special relativity, and further stated the principle of general relativity, connecting space-time and gravity, and he believed that gravity was caused by curved space-time.

    In fact, it can be clearly seen that the world's best scientists still belong to Newton, because Newton discovered in physics and mathematics, so that people know why the apple falls, the laws of the heavenly bodies. And these rules are still in use today.

    Because Einstein was a scientist, he naturally wanted to study all things related to science, and he thought that Chinese science was very strange and wanted to study.

    The main reason for this is that China's thinking was really too conservative at that time, and people's thinking was imprisoned.

    Because Chinese science at that time was really poor, just like primitive tribes.

    Because China has been ruled by feudal emperors for too long.

    Because of this thing, China's development at that time was very slow, so it was normal to say that there was no science.

    I think he probably said this because China didn't have any significant achievements at the time

    Because China's environment is not suitable for the development of scientists, scientists are not motivated.

    This is mainly because the thinking of the Chinese in that era was really too solid.

    Because the Chinese mind was very old-fashioned at that time, and was unwilling to accept new things.

    Answer: Incomparable love for science, strong perseverance, and indomitable fighting spirit.

    Einstein was not smart as a child, he made a small bench, was ridiculed by his classmates, and his grades were not very good in middle school, and he took two college exams before he was admitted. But he was not discouraged at all and insisted on studying hard. Later, he found a job in Switzerland, working during the day and reading at night, tenaciously climbing the heights of science.

    After spending 7 full years of nights and holidays, he finally established the theoretical foundation of the theory of relativity and became a great physicist who won the Nobel Prize.

    Why was Albert Einstein a god? Can any Chinese scientist surpass Albert Einstein?

    China is one of the four world-famous ancient civilizations, whether it is culture, history, economy, invention has been world-renowned, but throughout the past China, some people are curious, China's history is innumerable, but why has the four major inventions of China in the past did not give birth to scientists like Einstein, Newton, Galileo?

    In fact, the core of the question about the lack of scientists in China in the past should be "why modern science originated in the West, not China", which is also the "Needham problem" that Joseph Needham, an expert in the history of science, mentioned earlier.

    Modern science did not originate in China, in fact, there are many issues involved, if you consider it from a historical level, the earliest can be traced back to the human beings in the period of Homo sapiens.

    In the beginning, the ancestors of mankind lived in Africa, and later, with the advent of the Great Rift Valley, the ancestors of mankind were distributed to all corners of the world.

    But the problem is that the part of the population that went out of Africa lived an extremely unstable life, and early humans had been living a "nomadic" life, that is, they settled when they had food, and moved as soon as the food was consumed.

    It wasn't until later that Homo sapiens discovered the existence of wheat and tried to grow it, and after solving the basic problem of food and clothing, people's agriculture and civilization also began to develop, and throughout the four ancient countries, you will find that these countries are all agricultural countries.

    Since the beginning of the development of civilization, the rulers of various regions have begun to focus on the development of agriculture in order to consolidate their rule.

    And one of the information we get is that the rulers of any dynasty are "heavy on agriculture and suppress business", and it is precisely because of "heavy agriculture" that people do not pay much attention to "impractical" science.

    The key to the failure of modern science in China in the past lies in two points, one is rigorous logical thinking, and the other is to learn the truth through scientific experiments.

    On the first point, take Sinan, one of the four major inventions of our country, as an example, Sinan is an instrument used to identify the direction in ancient China, and the natural magnetite ore is carved into a scoop-shaped thing, placed on a smooth disk, and it can be based on the magnetic guide.

    But people only know the result, and do not deduce the process, that is, study the reason, which is a defect in ancient China.

    The second point is to experiment to verify, we all know that many physical and chemical achievements in the West are deduced through experiments, but ancient China lacked this step, and invention is only a technology, not a science.

    Because Galileo, Newton, and Einstein were very smart and geniuses that happened once in a thousand years, there were no scientists like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein in China.

    Because no matter which dynasty it is, it is "heavy agriculture and suppressing business", and it is precisely because of "heavy agriculture" that people do not put much thought into "impractical" science. There is also the deposition of Confucianism, the importance of literature in Chinese history, but the development of science.

    Such a great scientist cannot come out by saying it, and it is indispensable for people to become scientists, work hard, sweat, and have good development prospects.

    Because of various complex factors such as national conditions, education methods, and living environment, people will have different ways of thinking and thinking, just like there are no great educators and thinkers like Confucius abroad.
