must be the sea

With the wireless yearning for science, I also bought a copy of "A Brief History of Time" a few years ago. Let's use Xi Murong's poem to describe the feeling: frowning / I read it again and again / but I have to admit / time A Brief History / is a book that is too difficult to understand. In fact, people have already written it very clearly. Xiaochang is simple and easy to understand. After all, this is a popular science book, but it is still so difficult for me to understand. It shows how limited my talent in science is. But still interested. So attracted by the name, I downloaded the movie "Dark Matter". But I didn't expect this to be a popular science movie, and I didn't expect it to be very good.

The film tells the story of an international student. Liu Xing, who came from a poor family, was given the opportunity to study in the United States and was admired by professors. He himself is also very hardworking, genius + hard work, and soon produced results and completed his doctoral dissertation, but when he accepted the professor's defense with confidence, the professor did not let him pass the defense for non-academic reasons. In desperation, he shot his mentor and classmates, and then shot himself.

One is a hypocritical professor (on the surface, he welcomes the challenge of students, but is actually jealous of the students' talent); the other is a vulnerable student (with the ambition to win the Nobel Prize but can't stand the frustration of being denied), their misfortunes are of course theirs The reason for itself is that when the conflict reaches the extreme, it has to end with destruction: killing others to solve the conflict between myself and others, and killing myself to solve the conflict between myself and myself, such a choice is really regrettable. . A person who is not broad-minded, even with great talents, cannot make the situation of life bigger.

It is said in the movie that more than 98% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, which is invisible; the same is true of human potential, human desires, and the dark side of human beings. That is to say, 98% of people's potential is not realized, 98% of desires are not released (or
satisfied ), and 98% of the dark side is hidden. Nietzsche said: Life is a filthy river, in order to accommodate this river without losing its own cleanliness, one must become the sea. Liu Xing did not become the sea, so finally raised the gun by mistake.

As for the professor who is jealous of the talent of his students, there is no need to be too harsh, because this is the reality that must be faced, he is the filthy river mentioned by Nietzsche, it is such a person and all kinds of other human or human evils , so that we must choose to be the sea - although it may not seem easy to be the sea, it seems even more difficult to clean a filthy river.
