Zhang Zhong did not prepare the manuscript in advance, and he did not need to prepare the manuscript in advance. After all, the atmosphere tonight was relatively relaxed, and he did not need to memorize the score with everyone.
It was okay if he didn't come up originally, but now that he has come up, Zhang Zhong is ready to chat with everyone. Such an opportunity is also very rare.
"It must have been the winter vacation of my junior year. At that time, there were six people in our dormitory. Four of them were eager to go home. They left just after the vacation. There was only one other roommate and me left in the dormitory. After his name, there was
His character is Jin, and because he is a little older than the rest of us, we usually call him Brother Jin."
Zhang Zhong spoke slowly, and the people below also listened carefully. After all, there are not many opportunities to listen to Zhang Zhong's stories.
"The students had almost left, and the dormitory building was empty. On the night before Brother Jin left, we had dinner, packed our luggage, and sat on the edge of our respective beds and chatted. At first, we were chatting, and he
He asked me how he was going to go back tomorrow, and I asked him what time the bus would be tomorrow. Later, maybe because of the atmosphere, he said with emotion, college is so fast, three years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"I lived a simple life at that time. I never thought about the past or the future. I just thought about my own things all day long. But now that we were talking about this, I smiled and said to Brother Jin, how fast is this?
Now that we are chatting here, when you come again after school starts next year, you may feel that today's events happened in the blink of an eye. Or, if we wait ten years and we meet again, today's conversation will still feel like yesterday.
. Time is just a concept, and sometimes it cannot measure anything at all. After that, I talked with my brother about my understanding of time, and threw away a lot of science fiction concepts that I thought were cool. At the time, I thought it was a good chat, but later
Come to think of it, Brother Jin probably doesn't like this topic very much, and I talk alone most of the time."
Having said this, Zhang Zhong sighed slightly, and the scene of sitting and chatting with Si Jin appeared in his mind, as if it happened yesterday, which exactly confirmed what he said back then.
These years seem to be thinner than cicada wings, transparent and can be seen through at a glance.
"I have a pretty good memory. When school started in the second year, I asked him again with a smile. Look, in the blink of an eye, we started school again. He also laughed and said, yes, it's really fast."
"I don't know if Brother Jin still remembers the scene that night, but I still remember it clearly. Just like now, we are still here chatting and waiting to watch the program. Maybe in the blink of an eye, it will be the start of school again next year.
when."
"I saw a few students blinking hard. I didn't say you could time travel to after school starts just by blinking."
The people below all laughed, and many people looked around to find who was blinking.
Zhang Zhong continued, "When I tell this story, I have no special meaning, and I have no intention of admonishing you to cherish your time. It's just a matter of touching the scene and casually chatting with you. Since we have time to talk, I will also discuss it with you.
What is time? When I was a child, someone told me that time is the past, present and future. But when we humans mark time, we rely on external objects. If there are no past things, there will be no past time and no future.
Things have no future time. In other words, if nothing exists, there is no present time. Some people may ask, how can nothing exist? If nothing exists, we still have to consider what time is and what it does.
What? This is true, but let’s think about it from another angle and think about the length of time.”
"We now divide time into a year, a month, a day, an hour, a minute, a second... But the problem is that the present I am talking about is no longer the present, but the past. The length of time is very important to us.
It’s just a memory. We can’t tell how long the past one hundred years have been. The one hundred years we know is just the starfish rotating around the sun for a hundred times. But is the time it takes for the starfish to circle around the sun the same?
——If time really has a length.”
Zhang Zhong asked a question, but did not expect everyone to give an answer. He smiled and said, "All the above words are just idle chatter. You don't need to take it to heart. Finally, I hope that on such a festive day, everyone can play
Be happy and see you next year."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhong turned around and left the stage.
Amid applause, Zhang Zhong returned to his seat.
Xu Wenxuan tilted his head and looked at his son-in-law and said, "The question you just asked reminds me of the famous theologian Augustine's understanding of time. He believed that the present of past things is memory, and the present of things is memory.
The present is direct feeling, and the present of future things is expectation. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence? "
Zhang nodded and said, "Well, he believes that the past time is the memory in people's hearts at the moment, the present time is the direct feeling, and the future time is the expectation. Both the past time and the future time exist in the present way."
"Yes, that's what it means. This is Augustine's understanding. Do you agree?" Xu Wenxuan asked.
"It's hard to agree with it, but it does have merit. Augustine's view of time itself is an extreme form of subjectivism. However, although it is extreme, it does illustrate certain characteristics of time, at least for us.
It is a quality that humans can see, a quality that cannot be grasped and cannot be seen." Zhang Zhong said.
"Well, Kant's understanding of time is completely different from Augustine's. Kant's elucidation of time is divided into two parts, one is the metaphysical aspect, and the other is the transcendentalist part. There are four points in the metaphysical elucidation. Chapter 1
1. Time is not an empirical concept derived from external experience. On the contrary, to obtain empirical knowledge, time must be the premise, otherwise it cannot be established. Let’s not talk about the following ones. Just talking about the first one is the same as Ogu’s
Sting is so different."
"Well, it can be said to be the complete opposite." Zhang Zhong said.
"Yes, Augustine believed that it is human memory that creates time... It may not be appropriate to use creation. It should be said that it embodies time. But Kant believes that only with time can people have experience. For example, I am now
Sitting in this large auditorium and looking at the facilities inside, I will feel that this auditorium is very new. This perception will be transformed into memory, and this memory is based on my perception of time, which means that the human subject has an innate form of time.
"
Cao Ruixia heard the two of them discussing this and said with a smile, "We're celebrating the New Year, you guys are discussing philosophy here."
