1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 505: Terrifying Comprehension! Li Qiwei Takes Action! Two Major Problems!
Pius XI is worthy of being the new Pope.

His five-level cognitive theory reflected his strong humanistic and scientific background and deeply shocked everyone present.

Even the cardinals and archbishops who were most familiar with him were all surprised.

The Pope has always been approachable and friendly to people.

Although he was known as a scholar-pope, he never took the initiative to show off his knowledge.

Instead, he discussed doctrine with these senior bishops and asked for advice from each other.

Normally you can't tell how great it is.

It was not until today that people realized that the Pope's ideological level was so high.

"Unbelievable. The Pope has probably solved the God paradox."

"At least, I've never heard this solution: God is beyond logic, so don't follow logic."

“This completely breaks the God paradox.”

“It’s so strong!”

"The Pope is a leader we should always follow."

At this moment, everyone turned into fanatics.

No, they were fanatics originally, but they were conquered by the Pope's personal charm.

Believe in God first, then believe in the Pope!
Biondi, a staunch supporter of the Pope, looked excited.

As a cardinal of the Holy See and Minister of the Congregation for the Propaganda Fide, he is the Pope's right-hand man.

Although in the eyes of the world, the Holy See is supreme, sacred and cannot be desecrated.

But in the eyes of these high-level officials, as long as one is at the pinnacle of power, it will be full of intrigue and conspiracy.

The Pope's good temper was obviously not conducive to dealing with this situation.

But today, the Pope used the opportunity of the sermon to show these senior bishops what elegance and magnanimity are.

Especially the final interpretation of God is brilliant and impeccable.

Bi Wengdi was full of admiration.

This is probably second only to true "divine revelation" in establishing the Pope's supreme status.

Bi Wengdi glanced secretly to his right with his peripheral vision.

There, Cardinal Gaspari was not looking too good.

This cardinal, who is known for his hot temper, is somewhat dissatisfied with the current Pope.

Although they seemed respectful on the surface, everyone knew that the Pope's authority could not suppress the other party.

But now, Gaspari's heart was shaken.

Today's discussion will undoubtedly enhance the Pope's authority.

From now on, his situation will probably become even more difficult.

Gaspari even wanted to be a "traitor".

He couldn't help but muttered:

"What Professor Bruce? I think that's just a boast."

"When faced with the Pope's five-fold cognitive theory, everyone was shocked and stunned."

"Sure enough, scientists are all trash!"

Biondi overheard Gaspari's complaint and didn't know what expression to show.

Although he and Gaspari did not get along, he still accepted this complaint.

"Professor Bruce, although you are known as a great scholar who can be compared with Newton."

"But the Pope's theory has obviously surpassed the height of science and reached the pinnacle of thought."

"How should you discuss the Dao?"

Bi Wengdi shook his head slightly, very confident.

He even lamented that there was no public debate.

Because the Pope's theory is logically rigorous, incisive, and the result of his more than sixty years of experience.

Professor Bruce has been studying science all his life, sticking to the third level of theory.

How can one be compared with the Pope?

At this moment, under the gaze of Biondi, Gaspari and others, an inexplicable smile appeared on Li Qiwei's face.

It seemed as if he was dazed because he could not bear the pressure from the Pope.

It does look a bit silly and is bound to fail.

But if Wilson were here, he would definitely warn loudly:

"Oh no! Run, Bruce is starting to act cool!"

Li Qiwei was indeed laughing, but it was not a silly laugh, but a happy laugh, an unexpected laugh.

The surprise that Pius XI brought him was so great that it far exceeded his expectations.

Before coming to the discussion, Li Qiwei had a general idea of ​​the Pope.

Stubborn, mysterious, rote, God said: Blah blah.
These are all his experiences in previous lives.

On the university campus, he often meets some aunts or grandmothers.

"Come here, young man, and I will tell you the story of Jesus."

"."

Of course, the Pope might not be so blunt, but the discussions would certainly be about things like the doctrine of God.

This kind of topic will eventually turn into the kind of sophistry that Hong Xiuquan and the missionaries engaged in.

At that time, Li Qiwei could only use his identity as the third son of God to end the battle.

This was what he was thinking before.

But today, the Pope's performance opened Li Qiwei's eyes and overturned his stereotype of Christians.

"Sure enough, anyone who can hold a high position should not be underestimated."

At this moment, Ridgway became extremely interested in the theories of Pope Pius XI.

The other party divides people according to the depth of their understanding of the world.

The first level is knowing nothing.

People at this level still rely on primitive senses to understand the world.

We know that water can boil, but we don’t know the concept of water’s boiling point.

They survive and live by instinct.

The second level is half-understanding.

Compared with the first level, people at this level know that water has a boiling point.

But what they know is due to indoctrination and propaganda from the upper class.

If you ask them: Why does water boil? What is the principle of boiling point? I am afraid they will only vaguely understand.

Unless someone from a higher level instills more advanced knowledge in them, they will not be able to know it on their own.

The third level is to study things and acquire knowledge.

This is the level of science itself, and it is also the realm and belief of current scientists.

They gain knowledge by studying how things work.

They know that the principle of boiling is that the saturated vapor pressure of a substance is equal to the external pressure.

The boiling point is the temperature of a substance at that moment.

They even know that temperature is a macroscopic phenomenon, which is essentially caused by the thermal motion of a large number of microscopic particles.

Individual particles have no concept of temperature.

Furthermore, they not only understood the principles of boiling, they were also able to control the boiling of substances.

When the pressure on an object increases, its boiling point will increase; otherwise, it will decrease.

This is also the reason why food cannot be cooked thoroughly in the mountains and plateaus.

Because water starts to boil before it reaches 100℃.

However, according to Pope Pius XI's understanding, this level is not enough for the understanding of the world and is not the ultimate level.

Because there are two major problems with the study of things:

One is that the [thing] itself is wrong, and the other is that the quantity of [things] is not enough.

For example, Newton felt that space and time are eternal and unchanging, so he proposed the absolute concept of space and time.

However, Ridgwell derived the relative view of space and time through the principle of the constancy of the speed of light, overturning Newton.

This is because Newton studied things, but he studied them incorrectly.

对于二，比如现在有个数列：1、2、3、4、5、6、7。

What is the eighth number?
According to the understanding of the realm of investigation of things, the eighth number is extremely likely to be 8.

But some people questioned, why can't it be 100?
If we use the system of studying things, it is indeed impossible to answer this question perfectly.

Because the quantity of things is not enough.

The fourth level is that knowledge has no limits. This is the field of study and the realm that philosophers pursue.

In their view, so-called science is just a paradigm or system in the universe.

Science requires several fundamental axioms as premises and support.

But can existing science definitely lead to the other side of truth?

What if you suddenly find out that the axiom is wrong?
True knowledge is infinite.

For example, philosophers can create a system of "voluntarism".

Everything has will.

The reason why water boils is because the will of water is stimulated.
The fire burns because the will of fire has not been awakened.

Therefore, philosophers hope to find more other systems to explain the universe from other perspectives.

Here, a disagreement arises.

Some philosophers believe that there must be a best system in the world, and that is truth itself.

But some philosophers believe that the best system can only approach the truth but cannot describe the full picture of the truth.

But no matter what, finding the best system in the vast and endless universe is countless times more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Thus, the fifth layer appeared.

The fifth level is omniscience.

This can only be the realm of God.

Because God represents the truth itself.

Aren’t you people in the four levels ahead of you struggling to pursue the truth?
Oh, there’s no need to be so tired. Doing experiments and writing articles every day will make you lose all your hair.

Don't you want to know how water boils?

Just join the church and you will find out.

As long as you believe in God, you can directly obtain the "ultimate truth" through "divine revelation."

Anyway, what scientists and philosophers study all their lives will eventually be the same as what God has revealed.

“When the scientists finally climbed to the top of the mountain after much hardship, they found that theologians had been waiting there for a long time.”

You may even know things that scientists don’t know.

Because scientists' knowledge needs to be logical, but God's revelation does not require logic.

If you ask how to get divine revelation?

There are many ways.

Sleep with the Bible in your arms at night, and God will give you revelations in your dreams;

The Pope himself will say a Mass for you, and you will have an epiphany.

Finally, you will gain the truth and can go out and explore the world.

"Oh, by the way, don't forget to collect the eggs."

The above is Ridgwell’s summary of Pius XI’s thoughts.

At first glance, this theory seems perfect.

Linked to each other, progressing step by step.

Ultimately, it highlights the supremacy of God.

Of course, this god can only be God.

But King Li Qiweilong smiled, he did not agree with Pius XI's theory!

At this moment, his aura suddenly changed!
From the original nonchalant attitude to the attitude of looking down on the world!
Dominate the world and shock the whole audience!
Everyone was shocked!
Bi Wengdi looked shocked.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Is this Professor Bruce's true form?"

"I underestimated him before."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qiwei.

Pope Pius XI smiled slightly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

The reason why he didn't make any attempts was that he came out with a powerful attack and directly stated his theory.

It's because he felt that facing someone like Li Qiwei, all the cleverness was meaningless.

Instead, it will tarnish the identities of both parties.

When facing the strongest, the strongest attack is the greatest respect.

Pope Pius XI was determined.

If the famous Professor Bruce Lee was timid, he would probably be very disappointed.

He has been lonely for too long!

Can't wait too long!
Seeing the change in Pius XI's expression, Li Qiwei's eyes were sharp, and he finally spoke:

"Your Holiness, your theory is truly brilliant."

"Forgive my offense, you have indeed overturned my preconceived impression of your group."

"Since you are so frank, I will not hide my shortcomings either."

"I think there are two major problems with your theory."

Then, Li Qiwei restated his understanding of the five-level cognitive theory.

Everyone was shocked!

Because they found that what Bruce Lee said seemed easier to understand and more logical than what the Pope said.

"What a terrifying analytical ability!"

But soon, these senior bishops comforted themselves:

"It's okay. Bruce Lee could only think so deeply based on the Pope's experience."

"The Pope wins."

The wrinkles on Pius XI's face kept trembling.

He was so excited!

Someone can really understand his theory.

And he is Professor Bruce, the scientific leader of our time.

The feeling is indescribable.

That is the greatest blessing in life to meet a soulmate.

Pius XI even felt happier than when he was Pope.

At this moment, Li Qiwei continued:

"First, you said that through divine revelation, even people at the first level can obtain the ultimate truth."

"Then I would like to ask, how could God explain the boiling of water to the world before the development of physics?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Wengdi and others all frowned and felt slightly moved.

"What a tricky question."

However, Pius XI was extremely calm. He did not even need to think and answered directly:
"The Bible records that God created the world in seven days."

“On the second day, He created air and water.”

“The truth about water was already contained in it the moment it was created.”

“But the world is foolish, and the Lambs are confused.”

“God’s revelation is the fifth level of truth. It cannot be truly understood by the world and can only be reduced to acceptable knowledge.”

"And that depends on the degree of human development, on the level they can comprehend."

“Before physics, it was a phenomenon; after physics, it was a boiling point.”

Wow!
Everyone almost couldn't help but applaud.

The Pope’s answer was perfect.

God transcends everything, and the truth of His revelation depends on the limits of human thought acceptance.

God cannot tell you the concept of boiling point now because you cannot understand it.

When the time is right, you can say it.

"Pope wins two!"

Li Qiwei was calm and composed.

The Pope seems to have taken up this question.

Well, although it's a bit shameless
But it is indeed within the other party's logical framework.

but.

"I've been waiting for your answer!"

Li Qiwei smiled evilly and said:

"I have a second question."
