We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Qian Bin, who was there to listen, immediately showed a helpless expression.

It’s over, His Highness has started to speak without restraint again.

The king's power is granted by God. Can we just curse God casually?

In fact, people like Qian Bin, who had read the books of sages, studied mathematics and physics, and had experienced decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, had long understood that the theory of the interaction between heaven and man was used to restrain the people of the world.

It not only restricts the power of the king, but also constrains the loyalty of officials and prevents the people from rebelling at will.

There was no shortage of smart people in ancient times, but even smart people like Qian Bin were unwilling to break this window paper.

Li Che also knew this, but he still resolutely denied this theory.

Everyone here is a future scientist. Science does not tolerate any irrationality, and should not be restricted by power.

Even if there is a view that 'the end of science is theology', that is the end.

As expected, when Li Che made these "treasonous" remarks, someone immediately refuted them.

"Your Highness, this is absurd," an official said, rising. "When a nation is about to rise, auspicious signs will appear; when a nation is about to fall, evil will appear. This is a truth that has been followed by dynasties throughout history. It proves that the Way of Heaven is real. How can Your Highness be so disrespectful to the heavens?"

Li Che looked at the man silently without scolding him.

He knew clearly that this set of cognition passed down by his ancestors had been deeply engraved in the hearts of every generation of scholars and could not be eliminated in a few words.

If I want to transform these geniuses into rigorous scientists, I must let facts speak for themselves instead of using force to force them to submit.

"You're right. Every dynasty has followed this theory, and the classics and historical records you read are all written in this way."

"But..." Li Che paused and said calmly, "Is there any country that has been following this theory for more than three hundred years? Where are the countries that adhere to this theory now?"

"If this is the truth of the world, why do countries perish? Why do officials become corrupt? Why do ordinary people suffer?"

The man's face turned pale and he didn't know how to answer.

Li Che shook his head: "I don't deny the classics, history, and miscellaneous works, nor do I deny the words of the sages. But compared with the boundless knowledge between heaven and earth, those classics, history, and miscellaneous works are just a drop of water in the vast ocean of knowledge."

Li Che straightened his back and scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze:

“When so-called truth cannot solve a problem, we turn to other disciplines, such as…”

Li Che turned around, picked up a charcoal pencil, and wrote two characters in a flamboyant style on the whiteboard on the wall.

"Physics!" Qian Bin couldn't help but utter these two words.

A beautiful curve formed at the corner of Li Che's mouth.

When truth doesn't work, it's better to turn to physics.

Just like Amitabha may not be effective, but Namo Gatling Bodhisattva will definitely work wherever you go.

Everyone looked excited, knowing that the main point had arrived, and they all memorized the word "physics" in their minds.

The officials who were imprisoned by old ideas also perked up and tried to find loopholes in Li Che's next words and then refute him.

"I believe you all want to know, what is physics?" Li Che asked himself and answered, "Simply put, physics is the inherent laws or principles of things."

"Everything from the universe to invisible microscopic objects can be studied and explained using physics."

"Then what is the difference between physics and truth?" someone asked.

Li Che smiled and said, "There's a big difference."

"What you call truth is unquestionable, but physics is falsifiable and even must be falsified."

“The knowledge proposed by our predecessors has always been overturned by later generations, and the knowledge of later generations may not be applicable in the future.”

Everyone was silent.

What kind of knowledge is this? If the theories of our ancestors are constantly being overturned, isn't this reversing the principles of heaven and forgetting our roots?

"Your Highness, what you said is too obscure and difficult to understand. Why not give a specific example?"

Wang Chongjian is a qualified supporting actor.

Li Che pursed his lips, took out a wild fruit from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Look at this wild fruit." Li Che reminded and pushed it gently.

The mountain fruit rolled forward and then fell to the ground.

Everyone was confused, but they heard Li Che ask again: "Why did the mountain fruit fall to the ground?"

Someone said, "Your Highness pushed it down, and it naturally fell to the ground."

Li Che shook his head: "Then why did it fall to the ground instead of floating into the sky or continuing to move forward?"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling the fog in their heads grow thicker.

What's there to say? If it falls, it falls.

Li Che sighed. No matter which world they are in, Chinese people are basically firm pragmatists.

For example, when Newton was hit by an apple, he would wonder why it fell.

When Chinese people are hit by an apple, they will just pick it up, wipe it a few times and put it in their mouths.

When an apple hits Newton: Gravity!

When an apple hits me: I hit it!

It cannot be said that this kind of pragmatism is bad, but it is indeed not suitable for the development of science.

Qian Bin suddenly remembered that Li Che once said that there is a kind of air in this world that is everywhere, and it is called air.

So I asked tentatively, "Is it because the fruit is heavier than air that it falls down?"

Li Che's eyes lit up: "It's close, but not accurate enough."

Qian Bin was slightly stunned. He felt as if he had caught something, but he had no idea what it was.

After a while, no one could answer this question.

For the ancients, this question was no different from why one plus one equals two.

How to answer this kind of question.

Li Che no longer wanted to keep everyone waiting and said:

"To understand the answer, we need to introduce an important concept in physics: force."

Li Che walked forward, picked up the fruit and held it in his hand.

“Force is everywhere.”

"Everything has an attraction to everything else. It's called gravity."

"The fruit falls to the ground because the earth exerts a gravitational pull on it, like a magnet holding it to the ground."

"You, me, and everything in the world are able to stand on the ground instead of floating in the sky because of gravity."

Everyone was silent. Li Che's words were too abstract for them and could not change the inherent cognition they had held for so many years.

Only Qian Bin frowned, and after careful consideration, he asked, "Since everything has attraction, and there is also attraction between Your Highness and me, why don't we feel it?"

Li Che replied: "Yes, this leads to another concept in mechanics. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force."

"However, if I explain gravity directly, it will be difficult for you to understand. Why don't we start from the beginning?"

Li Che waved his hand, and Qiu Bai, who was listening, immediately took out more than ten textbooks and distributed them to the officials below.

"Please open the first page of your textbook." Li Che said slowly.

Everyone, including Qian Bin, opened their textbooks and flipped through the first chapter, seeing the bold title at the top:

Chapter 1: Description of Movement
