In response to Affleck's long article, Schubert only responded with this sentence, but then he posted another long article himself, accusing Affleck with some insinuations.
"Some movie stars, maybe because they have acted in too many science fiction movies, actually think they are scientists. I was still wondering before, do some people really think that the book "Dune" is a science fiction novel? Now it seems that some people do believe it.pz
At best, his tricks can only be said to be logically self-consistent. He tried to construct a science fiction system in an illusory framework that deceived himself and others. In essence, what he did was no different from fairy tales. I
I once read a mythical story from China, in which a man named Hou Yi shot down nine suns with a bow and arrow. I was thinking that Affleck's ecological theory can also be used to explain this man named Hou Yi.
Warrior Yi can shoot down the sun... I'm afraid this is also science fiction."
In fact, what Schubert said has some truth, but his truth is based on the fact that "all the theoretical knowledge in the book is false".
The definition of science fiction is reasonable assumptions based on respect for scientific conclusions. It is generally believed that science fiction must have two elements, namely logical self-consistency and scientific elements.
Respecting science is the basis, but whether the assumption is reasonable or not is a matter of opinion.
Schubert also criticized "Dune" for its complete lack of respect for scientific conclusions. As he said, the book actually contained prophetic abilities. It was simply not something that could have been written by a person who respected scientific conclusions.
Seeing Affleck's retreat, Zhang Chong had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and go into battle.
""Dune" is an ecological science fiction novel, and it is also my gift to ecology. If Mr. Schubert has read this book carefully, instead of reading one line after another, he should be able to see the meaning of the novel.
Some detailed descriptions of the ecological transformation of the planet. Of course, you may have seen it, but you cannot understand the scientific knowledge. It is originally the job of scientists to popularize scientific knowledge to you, but today I am willing to do it for you..."
Zhang Zhong logged into Instagram for the first time and also posted a long article.
In this long article, of course, he is not just quoting things from the book like Affleck. Zhang Zhong said that he wants to give Schubert popular science knowledge, which is really popular science knowledge.
Zhang Zhong picked up the Gaia theory and Liebig's law of minimum factors and transformed into a scientist.
These things are not difficult for Zhang Zhong, thanks to his understanding of "Dune" and his attention on Earth.
Regarding the ability of prediction that Schubert always talked about, Zhang Zhong also explained it.
"Predictive ability is actually a kind of interpretation that combines limited known information. It is both accurate and error-prone. These things are written in the book. If Mr. Schubert can pay a little more attention, it should not be difficult to see. Before you
It seems that fantasy and mystery can always have underlying scientific explanations. Mr. Schubert is unwilling to consider "Dune" as science fiction. I don't blame you, because your narrow definition of science fiction comes entirely from you.
A narrow scientific definition, and this narrow scientific definition is due to shallow knowledge. No one can require a critic to have advanced knowledge, and I have always had a tolerant attitude towards critics."
Your posture level is not good enough!
Zhang Zhong's article is very long, but the core point is to criticize Schubert for being shallow, ignorant, and blind.
Affleck's academic title has aroused discussions among fans before, but now that pz has come to act as a scientist, people are stunned.
[After saying so much, I didn’t understand a word of it.]
[I still don’t understand this, pz is calling Schubert an idiot.]
[My friend upstairs is very good at extracting information.]
[Let me go, I just checked the theories pz mentioned, and they are all true. 】
[Really? In this way, is this novel really a gift to ecology as pz said? 】
【Is pz a scientist?】
【Did I actually read an academic report? 】
[I can’t speak of an academic report, but this article has a lot of useful information.]
[I haven’t read the book yet, pz does this count as a spoiler? 】
[What are the spoilers? There is no plot at all. It’s just a reading guide at most.]
[Yes, if you have read this article before, it will be easier to understand when reading. 】
[Boss, what is the Tansley effect in the book? I didn’t find it.]
[This should be created by pz himself, but looking at the content in the book, it seems that it should be related to the ecosystem. It is probably the effect of the ecosystem. 】
[The boss suddenly appears upstairs.]
[I can’t talk about the boss, but pz said that this book is a gift to ecology. I don’t think he is exaggerating. After reading this book, I really understand a lot more about ecology, and about the scientific perspective.
It’s also a bit more open.]
…
Bang!
Schubert hammered the table, and the computer on the table trembled, but the annoying words on the screen were still on it, looking at him like a mocking face.
Affleck's half-baked article, he can still pretend to stand up and say that people lack scientific knowledge, but pz's article is full of useful information, including some of the theories mentioned in it. He also checked it just now, and it's really
There are all.
But Schubert did not admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and published another article.
This article avoids other things in the novel and begins to talk about the religious content in the book, while also focusing on the ability to predict.
"Ecology still cannot prove the feasibility of predictability."
When Zhang Zhong saw this article by Schubert, he thought this guy was crazy.
What is science fiction?
If it could prove feasibility, it would be a scientific report, not science fiction.
If Zhang Zhong can prove everything in "Dune", then next year's Nobel Prize in Biology will probably be his, and maybe he will also win the Chemistry Prize and the Physics Prize.
This big troll lost his mind, and Zhang Zhong also lost interest in continuing to fight with him.
In fact, even netizens can't stand such idiotic remarks.
[Schubert must have been deceived by pz. He probably saw that pz talked about so many scientific theories, so he forgot what he wanted to say.]
[pz respects science, but Schubert does not respect science fiction.]
[Haha, you can see the level of American science fiction from this product.]
[No, no, no, no, no, Schubert cannot represent anyone.]
[That’s not what those trolls said just now.]
[I think I need to learn some scientific knowledge, otherwise I won’t even be able to read science fiction novels in the future.]
[It is right to learn scientific knowledge, but don’t follow Schubert and treat science as science fiction.]
【He made a fool of himself because he didn't study science.】
