Why does civil science dare to openly challenge mainstream academia? When it comes to civil science, everyone's impression is pseudoscience, but do you really know about civil science?
Why is it said that minke and public knowledge are two extreme phenomena that exist in China, one is to specifically beautify the West, criticize China, and present itself as a liberal democracy, and the other is to have a strong interest in scientific research and try to overthrow the famous scientific theories, especially relativity, which are considered by minke to be bourgeois reactionary views, loving China and opposing the West.
Why are there these two extreme phenomena? What their purpose is. As a representative of the folk science, Li Zifeng can peek out the hidden truth behind the civil science from his story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the professional authority on petroleum</h1>
In 1979, the 17-year-old Li Zifeng was admitted to Daqing Petroleum Institute with an excellent score of 328 points, exceeding the key line of 28 points at that time, which was an enviable good thing to be admitted to the university at that time, because the resumption of the college entrance examination changed his fate, Li Zifeng was one of the lucky ones, and the subsequent study and work development was very smooth.
He graduated from university at the age of 21, obtained a master's degree at the age of 24, obtained a postdoctoral degree in mechanics at the age of 32, and became a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor of China University of Petroleum at the age of 37, and served as a researcher and doctoral supervisor at the School of Mechanical Engineering of Yanshan University after only two years. At a young age, he became an authority on petroleum engineering, and he was really young and promising.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > Li Zifeng threw himself into opposition to relativity</h1>
Around 2000, China's Internet ushered in a period of development, a large number of communities and forums have emerged, such as Kaidi, Tianya, Iron Blood, now it seems that each name is very old, Li Zifeng saw a large number of articles questioning relativity on these forums.
After reading these questioning articles, I picked up ordinary physics again, reread the theory of relativity, and found loopholes in the theory of relativity. So he resolutely threw himself into the movement against relativity and became an anti-militant.
Due to the decline of the forum, the time is too long, and the relevant articles have been difficult to find. Just found some relevant posts in the West Road forum, the name of the section is called Challenging relativity, Li Zifeng has been active in it for a long time, and has published some views against relativity.
On November 9, 2003, Li Zifeng published a post with the title Anti-Relativity Similar to Anti-Ghost Theory. However, the day after this post was issued, he suddenly posted a retirement, and it is not difficult to guess from the retirement declaration that it should be attacked by many netizens, and the retirement is not a abandonment for Li Zifeng, but a change in the main battlefield, and has since disappeared in the forum.
When he retired, he did not forget to release harsh words, and whoever could refute his argument would give the other party 1,000 yuan. Li Zifeng's academic stage was thus laid down, waiting for officials or people of insight to come and fight.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > Li Zifeng has published papers in some scientific journals</h1>
During 2005 and 2006, Li Zifeng published papers in some scientific journals and printed 2,000 copies of the papers and sent them to relevant institutions, magazines and some experts. For a time, Li Zifeng became famous in the reverse circle.
At the 2006 Modern Physics Research Conference, Li Zifeng openly challenged the mainstream physics community and tried to give a contrarian report at the conference, but was stopped by the host and vice chairman Li Ming.
For the first time, the mainstream physics and civil science circles have just risen positively. In the end, Li Zifeng only talked about 5 minutes of content that had nothing to do with the opposite, but in Li Zifeng's view, this time the battle was victorious, not only launched a challenge, but also supported by some people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > Li Zifeng's "highlight moment"</h1>
In May 2007, Li Zifeng doubled his bet from the original 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and the sincere move can defeat the people of the opposing team.
Li Zifeng's approach quickly attracted the attention of some magazines and the media, and in August 2007, it was published in the journal science Chinese, which mainly introduced his achievements in petroleum engineering, but only slightly mentioned his different opinions on physics.
At the same time, Li Zifeng launched a seminar, gathered some contrarians, and the people in the gathering could also see that some of the key members who had been active in the West Road Forum also proposed that the US moon landing was a fake scam at the party.
In October, he also accepted an interview with today's Keyuan Magazine and the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the magazine's evaluation of him was not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, and he climbed bravely with all his liver and gallbladder. The plums of 2007 are truly spectacular. In order to expose the truth of the American moon landing fraud, Li Zifeng even called out to Fang Ark zi in the air to fight the fake moon landing in the United States, and Fang Ark Zi was a Chinese fake red at that time.
In 2009, Li Zifeng raised the reward to 100,000 yuan again, and then increased it to 600,000 yuan. On the one hand, the inversion theory was preached in various schools, and at the same time, the anti-phase people were organized to gather; on the other hand, some academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were sent to the war book, and they also said that there was no content of relativity in the physics courses of Yanshan University, and suggested that the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other physics research institutions should also stop supporting the theory of relativity. In its reply to him, THE ASSOCIATION politely rejected his proposal, arguing that some of his views had yet to be verified.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > Li Zifeng challenged the mainstream physics community</h1>
Li Zifeng can be described as making enemies everywhere, Professor Li Donglin of Peking University wrote in his reply letter, you are really selling your reputation! Aside from oil engineering, it's best to shut up! Otherwise there you look good! You can't even tell what the theory of relativity is, the narrow and the broad sense, and you have a face against it, you really don't know what shame is! The scolding Li Zifeng is a dog bloody head, but Li Zifeng is not angry, but said that as long as you can refute my thesis, there will be a bonus of 100,000 yuan, so I can't help but try it.
He also said that Wu Yueliang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led a group of people to engage in fallacies and claimed to be a Chinese cattleman, and even the chief scientist of China's lunar exploration project, Ouyang Ziyuan, who had foresighted him, ran away, and Li Zifeng single-handedly promoted the development of the reverse movement.
In 2017, a number of Yanshan University students reported to the school that Li Zifeng often mixed his unconfirmed views and opinions during the class, and also ran his own academic stage in the school.
After understanding the situation, the Academic Affairs Office of Yanshan University issued a notice and punishment results, and Li Zifeng publicized the Apollo conspiracy theory, criticized Stephen Hawking, anti-relativity and other unrelated contents of the course in the course, stopped his undergraduate teaching, and deducted a 30% allowance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > Li Zifeng's lawsuit with Guo Hu Net and Zhang Wenzhuo</h1>
At the same time that Li Zifeng was reported by the students, Guohu Network interviewed Zhang Wenzhuo, an associate researcher at HKUST, who compared the civil science with hooligans and prostitutes, and listed a list of 52 people in the civil science department, including Li Zifeng, and said that there are at least a thousand people in this kind of paranoid tendency in China. After li zifeng saw the article, he was angry and sued GuoHu.com and Zhang Wenzhuo in court, believing that Zhang Wenzhuo's remarks insulted minke and were a real reputation infringement, hoping that the other party would apologize and demand compensation of 500,000 yuan for spiritual consolation.
Including Huang Xinwei, Mei Xiaochun and 5 other well-known figures in the mainstream scientific and civil science circles, they participated in the trial together, which is known as the first civil science litigation case, indicating that the contradiction between the mainstream physics community and the civil science community will become more and more intense. The civil litigation lawsuit lasted for more than half a year, and in 2018, Li Zifeng and others lost the lawsuit in the first instance, and the court rejected all their litigation claims.
It is believed that Li Zifeng's report has nothing to do with the comments of the fruit shell network. The three were not satisfied and appealed. The court upheld the original judgment in the second instance. Li Zifeng suspended classes, and the anti-phase movement also stopped for a while, until he came back three years later and was once again on the hot search.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > Li Zifeng's research on reversing the theory of relativity has once again appeared on the hot search</h1>
Li Zifeng overturned the study of relativity and entered the recommended project of the 2021 Hebei Science and Technology Award. It has aroused widespread concern, and the Hebei Provincial Science and Technology Department responded that the project is currently only in the nomination stage. Interestingly, Li Zifeng has repeatedly reported and prevented projects related to relativity from applying for national awards, and now his reversed project has entered the nomination, how ironic, Li Zifeng said that the project will not have any results, and the award is only a small probability event, mainly to publicize the truth.
In the face of sudden opposition and criticism, and even attacks, Li Zifeng was very indifferent. Like the attacks that took place at the WestLand Forum more than a decade ago, the insults and criticisms have never stopped. Naturally, it will not affect Li Zifeng's opposition to relativity, let alone shake the goal of opposing relativity. Li Zifeng also wrote a song of tomorrow, tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is limited and more; I was born tomorrow, and my ideals were ruined. Very persistent, how bumpy things are; Learn a pillar of the sea tree, enough to play a triumphant song.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > the same folk science as Li Zifeng</h1>
People like Li Zifeng, who have been crowned with the hat of civil science, are not in the minority, and they have been conscientiously carrying out the anti-phase movement for twenty years. The antipaths also set up a Beijing Relativity Research Association, referred to as Beixiang, the president is the editor-in-chief of the modern physics knowledge magazine, Wu Shuiqing, this association has absorbed nearly 1,000 members, of which more than 40 are from overseas, dozens of senior members more than half have the education and work background of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, these people have long been some industry authorities and experts, in their own capacity is completely unnecessary, creating contradictions between the civil science community and the mainstream physics community.
Are they really for fame? I think this is debatable. If it is for the sake of profit, there are also people like Dong Shugong in the Northern Phase, who, in the words of the media, are throwing away their families against relativity, just to become great. Dong Shugong and his son have no financial resources, and when the money runs out, they go to work, and when they make money, they go home and continue their physics research. Twenty years later, Li Zifeng still used to oppose the theory of relativity, but strangely, no one dared to come out to fight, perhaps as Zhang Wenzhuo said, "I'd rather quarrel with hooligans than talk to Minke." A sign of the maturity of a physicist is that he will no longer persuade the people to be good...".
But if his paper really has errors, and how it was reviewed and published in the magazine, Science and Technology Daily even reported Li Zifeng's anti-phase view more than once, is it really so difficult for physicists to correct an error in a paper? I can't help but ask, is The Folk Science really wrong? Folk science, citizen scientists, is a term for people who have rarely received formal scientific study and training, but are often passionate about research in related fields. The emergence of civil science is related to historical factors such as the Great Leap Forward trend.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" > the truth behind the folk science, a product of an era</h1>
In the early days of reform and opening up, Chinese society began to undergo great changes, the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, the National Science Conference was held in 1978, the spring of science suddenly came to the land of China, the people had a strong enthusiasm for exploring the unknown world, and the mainstream ideology has been strengthening such a value concept, and a person must have lofty ideals.
Li Zifeng and others were obviously influenced by the times at that time. In 1968, with the support of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established the "Critical Relativity Study Class", and in the end, the criticism even developed into a personal attack against Einstein, saying that he changed his nationality three times in his life, changed masters four times, had milk as a mother, and knelt down when he saw money. The critical relativism movement lasted for a decade and ended in vain. It was not until 1978 that a preface highly praising Einstein was published in the People's Daily, marking Einstein's formal "rehabilitation."
That era of criticism is over, but some people, but they stay in that era forever, critical relativity, anti-relativity has become their spiritual pillar, once punctured, their lifelong efforts are gone.
At first, I thought that opposing relativity was an academic dispute, but in the end I found that the unreasonable teasing of the folk sciences became not so funny, they just tried to support their own pillars of life, and forgot that it was just their own world, just like Dong Shugong's father and son, they just wanted to make themselves great.
Folk science, like public knowledge, is a product of the times, and now they are gradually stigmatized, and they must also be stigmatized, because they do not belong to this era at all. As China rises, we no longer need to be humble and obedient, we don't need to glorify others and belittle ourselves, and we don't need to swell our faces and deceive ourselves.
