At the end of science is theology.
This phrase has been widely circulated for a long time, and many people have given examples of famous scientists like Newton and Einstein who began to study theology in their later years.
Does it mean that there really is a "God" in the world? Control the world all the time.
Albert Einstein once said: When I was a teenager, I already understood that most people's efforts and pursuits were worthless.
But is that really the case? Is it true that Einstein studied theology in his later years? Did he strip himself from theological religion in his youth and exile himself back in his later years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > discontinued theological thinking at the age of 12</h1>
In an interview, Einstein once said that he had discontinued his religious beliefs at the age of 12. As a child, Einstein was very obsessed with religion. After all, for young Einstein, theology has many magical things and things that cannot be imagined because theology can be quickly explained.
In fact, until now, people still often believe that there are many unknown things in the world because of ignorance, which are caused by the action of some mysterious external force. The young Einstein discovered that science explained the world better than theology, and there were many absurd stories in theology.
He once described theology as "childish superstition."
By this time he had already stripped himself from theological religion. But he believed in the power of faith, which he believed was a spiritual force that could help people overcome difficulties.
In fact, the two are not in conflict, do not believe in theology, is a respect for science, do not believe in external "God" forces, control the development of the world. But for "people", faith is a force from the inside out, which can be regarded as a kind of consciousness.
The material world is fundamental, and consciousness is a derivative of matter.
The reason why people have these emotions of joy and sorrow is because of the role of consciousness. Because of many things that love and cannot, in order to satisfy unsatisfied material desires, people usually place their hopes on the "God" in religion.
The beauty of faith is that it will make people escape from depression, sadness, sadness, and positive emotions will dominate your thoughts, allowing people to rely on their own strength in difficult situations and overcome difficulties.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the spiritual world transcends material pursuits</h1>
When Einstein was a teenager, he had begun to abandon the enjoyment of the material world and pursue the same spiritual satisfaction in the mathematical formula.
For Einstein, material life is more of an external satisfaction, and his curiosity about the world has long surpassed his utilitarianism in enjoying the material world. He developed a great love of mathematics and constantly focused his energy on the things he was interested in.
In order to do better research, his college courses are often temporary, review for a few days, and be able to avoid hanging up. And the research work is usually very busy, so he often skips class, the exam is biased, and learning to cope is the school's most authentic evaluation of him.
But for Einstein, research is his highest level of affairs, and the pleasure obtained from research far exceeds the emotional happiness that rank, material and other aspects can give him. Knowing what you want is already a difficult thing for many people to do.
He never asked or hoped that he could obtain external material enjoyment from research, and he believed that the scientific research he was engaged in was to get rid of the tedium of material life and make his spiritual life more full.
Albert Einstein once said: "Science exists for science, just as art exists for art, it does neither self-confession nor absurd positiveness." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Newton and Einstein eventually move toward theology? </h1>
Newton is often used as an example to show that science will eventually lead to theology.
In fact, Newton's initial scientific research was not directly divorced from theology, but rather he began to study science, thinking that he was looking for the code left by "God" in nature.
If Newton abandoned science in his later years and turned to theology. Rather, theology runs through his scientific research from beginning to end. It is also said that Newton's time led to the successful publication of scientific works only by ties between the science and theology he studied.
Of course, as a person of a certain era, it will be more or less branded by the times. The ideas of different eras will also give scientists different restrictions, and some scientists have spent their lives searching for the truth, which may only be a drop in the ocean in the universe.
In contrast to Newton's ambiguity, Einstein's attitude has always been very firm. For scientific research, Einstein never stopped, nor did he always argue his relationship with theology.
However, what is false is ultimately false.
In a reply to his readers, Einstein made it clear: "What you have read about my religious beliefs is a lie. It's a lie that has been repeated by the system... I don't believe in a personified God... ”
In fact, human beings' conception of the scientific world is constantly being overthrown and constantly rebuilt.
Maybe the higher-level rules of science have not yet been understood by us, so when science reaches a certain stage, many people fall into a confused stage.
In fact, when people are not able to explain thunder and lightning, they are often unified into the category of "god", but later with scientific explanations, people learn that lightning is only a friction collision between clouds, and clouds are only another form of water.
In the absence of more detection and rules, people build the world through imagination. The real world is not necessarily the world in most people's eyes, and many people imagine, beautify, and even ugly the world.
For many scientists, they are also ordinary people, there are abilities and places where the vision has not reached, what scientists can do is to explain the world in their own eyes with formulas and truths, and it is not surprising that there is a deviation from the real world.
But for Einstein, the truth that was clearly seen in his teens, there is no reason to let himself fall into it again in old age.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > conclusion</h1>
The so-called end of science is theology, which is essentially a lie.
More is that people can't explore more scientific theories, science is endless, at least for the current human cognition, science is endless, and there are still many truths waiting to be discovered.
But there are still many people who think that Einstein believed in theology, more than Einstein thought. These people care more about what they think, or what they want Einstein to think. But isn't this the deviation of ordinary people's perception of the world?
