What is narrated in Two Children s Debate .

Commentary: One day, Confucius traveled to the East and saw two children arguing about what was going on, so he went up to him and asked why. One child said, "I think the sun is close when it comes out, but far away at noon." ”

Another child thinks that the sun is far away when it first comes out and close at noon.

A child said, "When the sun first comes out, it is as big as the lid of a car, but at noon the sun is as small as a plate”

Another child said, "When the sun first comes out, it makes people feel cool, and at noon it feels like putting your hand into hot water”

Confucius could not judge.

The two children laughed and said, "Who said you are wiser?"”

Decision: Decision, decision.

Who: Who. For: the same as "predicate", said.

You: You. 知: zhì, the same as "wisdom", wisdom.

Who said you were well-informed?

One day, Confucius went on a study tour in the East, and when he saw two children arguing about something, he asked what the reason was.

One child said, "I think the sun is closer when it comes out and farther away at noon." ”

Another child thinks that the sun is farther away at the beginning of the day and closer at noon.

A child said, "When the sun first comes out, it's as big as a car cover, but at noon it's like a plate”

Another child said, "Isn't it like putting your hand into hot water at noon, when the sun first comes out, it's like putting your hand in hot water."

Confucius couldn't tell what was going on.

The two children laughed and said, "Who said you were knowledgeable?" ”

The Two Children's Debate Day is selected from "Liezi Tangwen". tells the story of Confucius's encounter with two children arguing, one thinks that the sun is close to people in the morning, and the other thinks that the sun is close to people at noon. The story reflects the observation of the two children, the reasonableness of their speech, and the pragmatic attitude of Confucius.

Confucius went on a study tour to the east and saw two children arguing. One said that the sun was close in the morning and farther away at noon. Another opinion is the opposite.

One said, "The sun is like a plate in the morning and a carport at noon. The other said, "It's cold in the morning and hot at noon, isn't it cold from afar and hot from afar?" Confucius could not judge.

The two children laughed and said, "Who said you have great wisdom?" That's probably what it means.

Two children are arguing about when the sun is near. They asked Confucius, and Confucius didn't know.

"Two Children's Debate Day".He was a thinker of the Warring States periodAn essay by Liezi, put it in the present is an article aboutAstrophysics questions, no wonder Confucius was circled on the spot. The original text of the overlay is as follows:

Confucius traveled eastward, saw two children arguing, and asked why. (Debate 1: Debate Day).

A son said: "I go near at the beginning of the sunrise, and I am far away in the middle of the day." ”

A son said: "I am far away at the beginning of the day, and the middle of the day is near." ”

A son said: "The beginning of the day is as big as a car cover, and the middle of the day is like a plate, this is not for the far small and the near is big?" ”

A son said: "The beginning of the day is cool, and the middle of the day is like a soup, this is not hot for the near and cold for the far?" ”

Confucius couldn't decide. The two children smiled and said, "Who knows more about you?" ”

in the textThe two children took different arguments and came up with two opposing arguments, not only made Confucius blind on the spot, butIt has also troubled countless people for thousands of years, until now

According to Newton'sTheory of gravitationAtmosphereIt should beThe closer you get to the Earth's surface, the denser it becomes；And becauseThe curvature of the earth, so that the atmosphere forms a convex lens:Atmospheric gravitational lensing, the object seen through it will zoom in.

This can also be understood as a kind of ".photoosmosis"., the reason why the sun in the morning looks bigger to the naked eye than at noon, thisIt is related to the angle of refraction of sunlight after entering the atmosphere in the morningWhat we see with the naked eye is beenImage of the Sun magnified by atmospheric gravitational lensing, which does look a little bigger than the midday sun.

So why is there no god worm magnified by atmospheric gravitational lensing in the sun at noon? That's becauseWhen the sunlight hits the atmosphere directly, there is no refraction angle, and it is impossible to let go of the smoldered sunThe people on the ground see the sun, isThe sun as it is, then there will be a phenomenon where the sun is close to the earth, and the sun looks smaller than in the morning.

According to the above interpretation,The second child's point of view is correct。This explanation is based on classical optical theory, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is usedQuantum mechanics is another way to explain it

SchrödingerAfter winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, he used it in his speech at the award ceremonyFermat's principleExplaining the issues at issue in "Two Children's Debates", he argues that this is not caused by the angle of refraction in optics or atmospheric gravitational lensing, but may beQuantum mechanics is caused by the curvature of space-time
