Quote of the Day 每日引言

We're the first species eveer consciously to be changing the atmosphere, knowingly warming it on a grand scale. For Earth, a warmer atmosphere will be nothing new, but for us humans, this is unchartered territory, because now we're in the vulnerable position of having placed ourselves at the mercy of the most fickle of all forces, the atmosphere.

— Iain Stewart

Physics and TOK: Weekly Dose of TOK 每周知识论

• Think about cognitive bias, such as confirmation bias. How do the bias affect the development of physics?
• Think about all the formulae we have. Can all knowledge be expressed in words or symbols?
• Think about crazy theories like relativity and quantum theory. What is the role of imagination and intuition in the creation of hypotheses in the natural sciences? How come that scientific knowledge changes over time?
• Think about how natural sciences like biology (not squishy science) and chemistry can be reduced to physics (everything obey the laws of physics). Can it be said that all natural sciences are effectively physics? If so, what would be the implications of this position?

• Physics is the fundamental science explaining the laws in the universe and the studies of other sciences are constrained by these laws. It builds the body of knowledge through the scientific methods.
• The role of physics being the fundamental science is most significantly shown in chemistry – the subject of studying how matters interact with each other, it involves the application of quantum physics:
  • Boyle's law
  • Planck's law
  • Pauli's exclusion principle
  Chemistry acts as the "central science" connecting other fields of study with physics.
• However, each science has its own distinct methodologies, theories and complexities. They cannot be fully reducible into physics. However, being theoretically capable of acquiring knowledge does not mean that it is practicable. Even if we did get such knowledge, we might not be able to properly comprehend it without knowing the concepts and theories from other science.

That which is not measurable is not science. That which is not physics is stamp collecting.

Article Recommendation of the Week 杂志文章简评

Virtual Tourism: Speculation Concept or Future of Tourism

Since the age of 25, Li Bai has been traveling throughout his life. Although we are unlikely to see the scenery in Li Bai's eyes again in contemporary times, the landscapes we see can always be imbued with the color of his poetry, because he has created a spiritual landscape map for us. We will follow the several "check-in points" mentioned in this article to embark on a special journey and meet Li Bai from another time and space.

The "Shu Road" is known as the most difficult road to take, and "the Shu Road is more difficult than reaching the blue sky". However, Li Bai's portrayal of the Shu Road breaks free from the constraints of describing the difficult and dangerous natural environment, and portrays the majestic and exaggerated nature of the mountains and rivers, which makes people cannot help but marvel at his courage to challenge. "Phoenix Terrace" is a landmark that exists in poetry. Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Platform, Phoenix Flows on the Taikong River. Perhaps the Phoenix Tower in Li Bai's poetry can no longer be found on modern maps, but it does not affect our repeated recitation of this long gone tower. "Chu Di" is a representative of a cultural region. Li Bai described the poetry of Chu as "the mountains end with the plains, the rivers flow into the wilderness", with a magnificent atmosphere that makes people suddenly clear. Professor Zhang Weiran from the Historical Geography Research Center of Fudan University used the term "sensory cultural zone" to explain this phenomenon. After several historical dynasties, the "Chu culture" has regained its rightful social respect. In addition to the Chu region, we actually have some cultural and geographical concepts that are still being used, such as Bashu, Lingnan, Xiaoxiang, and so on.

"The pursuit of immortals in the Five Mountains is never far away, and it is a lifelong pleasure to visit famous mountains." This is Li Bai's refined summary of his life, and he has also taken us on the journey of "Tang poetry". As we explore Li Bai's poetic journey and immerse ourselves in the natural and cultural landscapes he depicts, these geographical terms also transform into dual coordinates of culture and spirit.

Agnes Martin: Artist of the Week 每周艺术家

Agnes Martin was an American abstract painter. Her matured works are uniquely minimalistic: huge canvases with meticulously penciled grids and lines with soft, uniform pastel colors.

Though Martin's career coincided with the ostentatious splashes of Abstract Expressionism and rational repetitions of Minimalism, her work emerged distinct from both. Rather than proclaiming individuality or larger ideals, Martin's work is bottled up. With the simplest, yet most debilitating routines of grids and dots, paintings seem to tuck themselves away with a sense of impressive neutrality. For Martin, painting was "a world without objects, without interruption.. or obstacle. It is to accept the necessity of ... going into a field of vision as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.

Arata Isozaki – In Formation: Exhibition of the Week 每周展览

• Date: 2023-08-26 – 2024-11-19
• Location: 上海当代艺术中心 PSA

Arata Isozaki deconstructs the modern city and its ideologies through the creation of physical spaces. From the constantly-developing and expanding buildings that he analogizes to a board of pegs and string, to the decentralized living-spaces and performance-spaces that turns Foucault's panopticon on its head, from the atypical computer-generated structures of his New Florence Station, to the flexibility of the Ark Nova theater, these structures materializes concepts in a physical reality. Closer to home, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra building's curved roof and internal acoustics also bear his signature, a clever game of decorative form and functionality.
