Chapter 10 Beyond the Three Primary Colors
———————————————————
......
An alien came to Earth and asked the Earthlings:
"Do you really only see the three primary colors?"
The Earthlings said:
"Yes, there is no doubt that the three primary colors can see all things in the world."
Aliens said:
"Is that true? But you only see the three primary colors, how can you communicate with the Gousa people?"
The Earthlings said in a daze:
"What Gousa people?"
The aliens were also surprised:
"Ah? Is it another race on your earth?"
After saying that, he pointed to the mountain beside him and said:
"Don't you know there is a Gousa village over there?"
The earthlings were so shocked that they looked over there, but they still couldn't see anything!
......
Hei Tan has heard of this story told by Xu Lai.
When he heard this story for the first time, he even asked back on the spot: "There is a problem with this story. Who can prove that there is color outside the three primary colors?"
If I tell you: There is a fire-breathing dragon in my garage now! At this time, you are very suspicious of this statement and think that I am lying. You want to expose my trick. So you say, then open the garage door and show us!
But I said: It’s very sorry that my dragon is invisible, and you can’t see it even if you open the door. In fact, only I can see this dragon. So you said: Then won’t it spit fire? Let’s test whether the temperature in your garage has risen.
Unfortunately, the fire my dragon sprayed out is cold, and it cannot increase the temperature of the garage. Even so, this dragon does exist! So you still don’t give up. Can you let me spray paint into the garage? If it exists, it will definitely be painted on it and then appear!
It’s a pity that my dragon’s scales cannot be stained with paint, so even if you do that, you will definitely not see them, but believe me, it really exists!
Every test method you propose that tries to overturn my statement will be avoided by me with one reason, so you will never be able to overturn my statement. From another perspective, my statement has never been overturned and will not be overturned in the future. It is a theory that can never be overturned!! The above is Carl Sagan's famous dragon metaphor.
The common cognition of ordinary people: if a statement is not overturned, it is true. But the philosopher of science Popper keenly discovered that there is a situation: some statements (such as my garage has a dragon) should not be confirmed even if they cannot be overturned. So he raised a very important question, which is also a golden law recognized by the scientific community now-a theory should be affirmed only if it is falsified.
What is falsification?
In other words, this theory can be overthrown by people and has the possibility of being overthrown.
In 1952, Russell wrote:
"If I say that a porcelain teapot is flying in orbit between Mars and Earth, and I will add carefully that because the teapot is too small, even our most powerful telescopes can't be observed, no one can deny my claim. Even if I say so, because my claim cannot be denied, human reason will doubt this unacceptable assumption, and I will definitely be fairly determined to be nonsense. But if the existence of this teapot is confirmed by ancient books and regarded as a sacred fact in the minds of children in every school every Sunday, not believing its existence will be regarded as an abnormality, and the doubters will be noticed by the psychiatrists who have been enlightened in the Enlightenment era, and in the earlier periods it will attract the attention of religious heresy interrogators."
......
However, the worldview and cognition of these reasons are being disintegrated one by one by Xu Lai.
Because he is an existence that cannot be verified by science.
He was too lazy to even bother to pay attention to the so-called science.
Just said lightly:
"It is painful to be able to see colors other than the three primary colors. This is also one of the reasons why Vincent's pain in his life..."
Black charcoal is very tangled.
What did Yagami Taiichi understand:
"So sir, can you see colors other than the three primary colors?"
Xu Lai just smiled at this.
He turned and left.
He has a lot to do.
Coming here to meet Vincent is just one of them.
Of course, it’s another matter whether you encounter it by chance.
When Xu Lai left, Vincent came back.
He forgot the painting he had thrown away by the tavern owner.
When Hei Tan saw the painting, it was exactly "Sleeping in the Nap" drawn by Van Gogh, his eyes were shining.
It's really a blind eye.
Hei Tan cursed the tavern owner in his heart: Oh my god, you're a big *****. In a few hundred years, you will regret that you rejected this priceless treasure today.
But who can tell what happened hundreds of years later?
Vincent saw Yagami Taichi and black charcoal.
He kindly asked:
"You have just entered the city, have you found a place to live?"
In fact, before Xu Lai left, he left a lot of money for them.
But Yagami Taiichi was very clever to see Kurotan's mind. He shook his head, looked like he was deliberately trying to be miserable, and said, "Not yet."
Vincent Mi did not hesitate:
"If you don't dislike it, you can squeeze in my residence. Although it is dirty and messy, it can still shelter from wind and rain."
"That's a lot of thanks."
Yagami Taiichi thanked him quickly, and then handed the black cat to Van Gogh: "Sorry, can you help me hold it for a while? I'll get something."
He knew that Vincent liked this black cat, and Black Charcoal also admired Van Gogh very much.
He doesn't like to break up a couple.
He went and bought three bottles of wine.
As the room rate, Vincent was given a bottle.
As for the remaining two bottles, I planned to drink black charcoal and myself.
"This cat wants to drink too?"
Vincent asked curiously.
"This cat doesn't drink alcohol, but he will definitely not be able to hold it back today."
Taiichi Yaji said.
And he guessed right.
When they arrived at Vincent's residence.
The damp and simple room was filled with Van Gogh's meticulous paintings and copying them with essays.
These include the very famous starry sky and sunflowers.
Black charcoal looked at the sunflower.
Being able to block all the sunflower series paintings is probably something that people of his era dare not even think about.
Most pseudo-literary youths often say that their favorite painting of Van Gogh is sunflower.
Little do they know that sunflowers are never a painting, but a series.
There are only six pictures preserved by later generations.
Now, looking at all the sunflowers, Hei Tan could imagine that he would definitely have a good dream tonight.
In the dream, he lay in the fields of Provence, with the starry sky above his head and the sunflowers that still shine at night...
"God, let this dream last longer!"
In a vague manner, he seemed to hear Xu Lai's voice.
That voice only said four words:
“As you wish.”
What?
What's the meaning?
