However, from the most objective point of view possible, what is being promoted in this film may indeed be questionable.
As far as this "water knows the answer" is concerned, I know a little about that book. Are the photos listed in the book a scientific experiment? Can it be tested by others? Can it be replicated in different laboratories?
I think it probably won't work, and the directors of the film seem to understand this, so the film repeatedly emphasizes, "People don't believe that their thoughts can change reality, so this becomes reality" - I clearly heard the way Bian's Xiangxiang master said with certainty: if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. It is a pity that those masters did not put on the coat of quantum mechanics, otherwise how could they fall to the point of guerrilla fighting with the city?
After all, those claims can be used as a pretext for sophistry, but they lack the most basic scientific spirit.
What is logically reasonable does not mean that it is the corresponding thing in reality. In mathematics, there are many contradictory systems of axioms that are each logical, but apparently there is at most one that can explain the real world. Therefore, we need more reasonable evidence, which is neither logically distinguishable, nor is a sentence "believe or not" is enough.
Believe it or not, after all, it is just a belief, not a science.
And what I dislike is precisely because the film glorifies faith as science.
History is actually a continuous cycle.
The ancestors knew how to observe the world, but lacked the way to understand it, so they created unknowable gods, trying to explain the world they observed within their ability to understand; and today, people's ability to see again Reaching the front of comprehension, people once again began to create new gods, and once again tried to summarize the observed phenomena into their own comprehension.
Perhaps, this is what Carl Sagan called the devil-infested world.
In fact, we have the ability to understand the world, but most people forget this ability.
People only know the so-called "science", but they don't know that behind all science, there is a common "scientific spirit", which is the core of the word "science", and it is also the most shining thing in human wisdom. part. It is precisely because of the lack of scientific spirit, that there are countless absurd things in the guise of science, swaggering in broad daylight: water to oil, perpetual motion machines, cosmic therapy, ancient technology, ..., in many, many cases Among them, it is obvious that the "What Do We Know" that I just watched is indispensable.
So what exactly is the spirit of science?
To borrow the words of Mr. Cai Decheng: the
scientific spirit is the objective basis, rational doubt, pluralistic thinking, equal rights debate, practical test, and the encouragement of tolerance.
