With physics, why do you want art?

Before watching this film, I have seen photos of Hawking when he was young. I have no doubt that he was once a sexy man: a simple suit, a light-colored tie with a half-Windsor knot, a regular white pocket handkerchief, and The universe full of brains. And looking for an actor like bc to play, he didn't seem to beautify his handsome in the slightest dramatic way, but the difference in height makes people uncomfortable for a while.

I was so surprised that I had finished reading it in tears. There is no doubt that I admire scientists. This was my first career dream when I was a child. Of course, as I discovered that becoming an astronomer must require mathematics, I gave up around the third grade of elementary school. But I still know that there is something in the sky above us that we can't understand, like a huge conspiracy, and the singing and dancing earth is just the illusion of the tip of the conspiracy iceberg. I remember that when I was a child, the astronomy book of 100,000 Whys in my family was flipped through by me, although the final result was that I could easily tell the children how many rings of Saturn and how many moons of Jupiter. What's ridiculous is that the "scientific research" at the time did not show up in the solar system. Soon I began to look for other points of contact as a layman. For example, I became a science fiction fan without any suspense. It is easier to understand physical concepts through stories and plots than through calculations and formulas, right? What's more, I am a digital blind who often makes mistakes in the four arithmetic operations within ten.

This version of Hawking almost undoubtedly strengthened my belief that he was a sexy man (literally). When I first looked back at his brief history in middle school, I knew it. Even now I don’t know how much I can understand, and what influence this book has on me. And when the film lasted for 20 minutes, I had completely forgotten the bc brain fan who saw Holmes as a gay movie. Going back to the past, I was full of meditation and brainstorming in a certain sense through theories that I didn’t understand. The young time period of abstract and magnificent pictures.

And when I watched this film, what made me more curious was how they would package such a difficult and beautiful word as physics into a firm belief that the world firmly believes in existence and finally sell the movie to the audience, just like boring numbers. Turning into visual data such as images, turns the inferences that are actually boring in circles and ultimately without suspense calculations into scientific discoveries full of passion and surprises. I am also curious about how physics students, physicists, look at such videos. To be honest, I think BBC has done well enough. They have taken the middle point between two incompatible concepts such as the difficulty of science and the tension of art. Of course, facing the general public, this middle point is definitely not the best. A fair split is more like a Lagrangian point (in fact, it is a product of imagination that cannot be produced by watching a movie with such a theme). Of course, there can be several Lagrange points, but there is no doubt that the point chosen by bbc is close to art. To take care of the public’s understanding.

The cutest thing is that I have heard someone say, with physics, why do you want art? In this case. In movies under this scientific theme, art can actually exist as a medium to promote physics. What breaks the hearts of physicists is that what they promote is not real physics, just as this is not a science and education documentary, what they promote is only the concept of physics, including: formulas, calculations, smart brains, genius scientists, etc. This kind of method commonly used in scientist biographies is also my consistent understanding of science and art. Science is beautiful. This kind of beauty can only be seen after years of learning basic knowledge. Just like to me-a person who can't wait to cheer for a new world without mathematics after the college entrance examination is over, even if I can realize that many theories of mathematics and physics have an unimaginable beauty of chaos and harmony, and many assumptions can be beautiful Impeccable sophistry, but unable to in-depth argumentation, formulas, calculations, so that I can not really appreciate, and art is such a supplementary existence. In my opinion, philosophy, religion, and even many fields are just because others cannot understand the beauty of physics. The way of interpretation of creation. With art, an equation can be turned into a picture, an animation, or even a story, because the artist does not need to know how the equation is generated, just know that it can be substituted into variables as an equation.

The ingenuity of the similarity lies in the fact that an actor who at least does not fully understand what Hawking’s genius is thinking—an actor who acts like what he can act realistically enough to fool the general public. Sometimes the art of performance can only be said to be an actor’s natural genius. Just like Hawking can think of an entire universe in a wheelchair, the role of bc always has a strong sense of enthusiasm. After watching it for a long time, I feel that He is not an actor but he is really that brilliant genius. Every muscle on his face tells you "I understand, I really understand". Everything that the universe has not yet expressed, and everything that already exists in this universe, is there. In my mind, as long as the movie is not over. And I’m not even observing. The entire universe is gradually being calculated in my mind. Even before the Big Bang, there may even be no reason before the result. There may even be no time or space, nothing, only one. A singularity that contains everything that has no place in the world, and maybe even this singularity was formed by the collapse of another world. Who knows? There is such an outstanding actor and the greatest physicist alive, and the movie is not over yet!
