day 4 總結(jié)反思
總結(jié)的第一句話一定要狠狠地夸一下自己:我真棒!終于搞懂了相對論的皮毛!而且還是英文的!
學(xué)習(xí)過程
周三寫完第一篇總結(jié)的時候,很期待、很好奇、也很害怕下一篇文章,總感覺師太會出大招。果不其然,周四眼睛一睜開就打開手機,看到要讀時間簡史的時候我還是蒙了好幾秒。。
作為一個高中理科生、大學(xué)從文的我,物理水平還停留在經(jīng)典力學(xué),對于現(xiàn)代物理,什么波粒二相性、相對論只記得結(jié)論和大概,到底是啥真的完全不懂啊。
早上出門的時候,翻出那本“珍藏”已久的《時間簡史》中文版,想著自己不懂的話可以看中文來幫助理解。
開始的時候,還是決定先從英文入手,不要給自己找借口、逃避。然而,第一遍并沒有看完。文章開始的關(guān)于經(jīng)典力學(xué)的部分還很好理解,可是后來跳到“光”的時候就開始有點混亂,不知道作者想要論述什么。又堅持往下看了一點,到光錐的時候終于徹底放棄了。
我又拿起中文讀本。前面內(nèi)容依舊看的比較容易,中文讓我對看英文的時候遇到的幾個例子又有了更加清晰的理解。到后來進(jìn)入相對論的部分,我還是恍恍惚惚的狀態(tài)。
總結(jié)起來,我覺得“知識儲備”是理解文章的很重要的關(guān)鍵吧。前面的經(jīng)典力學(xué)高中講很多,讀起來很順溜,但是相對論的部分,即使跨越了語言的障礙,依舊很難理解。順便說一句,我覺得在理解的角度,中文譯本讀起來真的沒有英文原文那么通俗易懂。翻譯并沒有翻出那種深入淺出、語言簡單的感覺。
這個瓶頸期最終還是通過安妮的音頻來突破的!安妮很能了解我們正常人根深蒂固的常識,從而在此基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行講解。就比如對“絕對時間“的否定。雖然文章一直說時間不是絕對的,但是我就是搞不清其中的緣由。但是安妮梳理了一下基本概念,用火車上的乒乓球就把我弄懂了!還有對時間“點”和“經(jīng)過時長”的解釋也一樣。
到這個時候,我心里大概清楚文章的脈絡(luò)了,又去把群里兩天的討論又翻了一遍,結(jié)合安妮老師的講解,又讀了一遍全文,畫出了思維導(dǎo)圖。
文章結(jié)構(gòu)
經(jīng)過梳理之后,文章的結(jié)構(gòu)似乎看起來也沒有那么難把握。在我看來,就是按照時間順序,從“絕對時間、絕對空間”兩個概念,科學(xué)界進(jìn)行假設(shè)、試驗、論證,進(jìn)行否定的過程。
在文章中一些我第一遍理解起來有問題的地方,正如安妮老師所說,可能是文章的行文有點跳躍,沒有順著“物理小白”的思路在走。這也提醒我在寫作中注意前后的邏輯連貫的問題。
除此之外,我覺得如果這篇文章像第一篇一樣,加幾個小標(biāo)題,是不是就更能讓人理解了?
遺留問題
最后,我也知道自己這幾天了解的最多也就是相對論的皮毛。就把這過程中還遺留的問題寫下來,希望以后有機會再繼續(xù)深入。
1.質(zhì)能方程和四維時空的本質(zhì)為什么是一樣的?
2.四維時空的概念還需繼續(xù)了解
3.原子鐘(時鐘)的原理是什么?
4.雙胞胎佯謬該怎么解釋?
5.重力場與頻率之間的變化關(guān)系是怎樣的?
