有人說(shuō)，big bang 塑造的理工研究者形象完全是為了滿(mǎn)足業(yè)外人士對(duì)理工 geek 們的扭曲意淫（對(duì)，盧十四就是你說(shuō)的）。今天看了一集 Touch，覺(jué)得這才是集中體現(xiàn)了不了解數(shù)學(xué)的人對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)的意淫。 數(shù)學(xué)嘛，就是神神叨叨的證明和計(jì)算，研究的是神妙的數(shù)字，老師都是些天外飛仙，數(shù)學(xué)好的人，很大很大的一堆數(shù)字他們也可以信手拈來(lái)，當(dāng)然，這些人無(wú)一例外都是些神經(jīng)病。某些數(shù)學(xué)模式在自然中屢屢神秘出現(xiàn)，真是神奇！似乎早就被數(shù)學(xué)預(yù)言了！誰(shuí)要是搞懂了數(shù)學(xué)，一定可以預(yù)知未來(lái)了，買(mǎi)彩票什么的更是不在話(huà)下，隨便中個(gè)幾百萬(wàn)妥妥的。 都是扯淡好嗎。 如果你覺(jué)得數(shù)學(xué)看起來(lái)神神叨叨，請(qǐng)注意，這是因?yàn)槟銢](méi)認(rèn)真去看，不要把數(shù)學(xué)和其他那些真正的神棍理論扯到一起，那些東西雖然你也不懂，但你永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)懂，實(shí)際上，沒(méi)有任何人懂，因?yàn)槟嵌际茄b神弄鬼故弄玄虛，他們追求的就是“雖然不是很明白但是看起來(lái)很厲害的樣子”。請(qǐng)注意，讓人不明覺(jué)厲，不但是神棍理論的表象，也是它們的內(nèi)核，是它們的終極目標(biāo)。故弄玄虛就是神棍的飯碗，從古到今莫不如此。不管外衣多么撲朔迷離玄奧莫測(cè)，扒開(kāi)里面都是空無(wú)一物。

而數(shù)學(xué)有樸實(shí)簡(jiǎn)潔到極致的面孔，因?yàn)樗仨毘ㄩ_(kāi)心扉讓你懂，否則會(huì)被無(wú)情唾棄。如果你智商正常但是看不明白，那說(shuō)明它很可能錯(cuò)了。絕不說(shuō)明它厲害。 另外，很難的數(shù)學(xué)不是一大堆數(shù)字堆在一起好像八百個(gè)數(shù)獨(dú)同時(shí)出現(xiàn)在你面前看起來(lái)很厲害的樣子，至少絕大部分?jǐn)?shù)學(xué)分支不是這樣。把 318 這幾個(gè)數(shù)字寫(xiě)八萬(wàn)遍也不會(huì)比寫(xiě)一遍更厲害，就算是寫(xiě)在文藝范筆記本上也不厲害！順便說(shuō)一句，以后出去吃飯不要總叫學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)的同學(xué)算賬，他們真的不是學(xué)這個(gè)的。他們的教材上出現(xiàn)的阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字主要集中在頁(yè)碼上。 搞數(shù)學(xué)的人并不都是神經(jīng)??！不管是數(shù)學(xué)系本科生還是天才數(shù)學(xué)家，都不會(huì)成天在一個(gè)小本子上發(fā)瘋似的涂抹一些數(shù)字，并且期望以這種方式跟他們的父母交流。編劇大概是幼年被數(shù)學(xué)打擊過(guò)，才會(huì)滋生出這樣病態(tài)的想象吧。 自然界的現(xiàn)象遵循某些數(shù)學(xué)模式，并沒(méi)有任何神秘的地方，蜂窩、分形、斐波那契數(shù)列，都因?yàn)槟鞘歉咝Ю媚芰康姆绞?，低效的基因都被淘汰掉了而已。并不是牛逼的?shù)學(xué)預(yù)言了一切！還有，“這個(gè)小孩自己發(fā)現(xiàn)了斐波那契數(shù)列”，一點(diǎn)都不厲害！還不如掏出莫比烏斯環(huán)來(lái)嚇嚇大師！ 雖然存在量子糾纏這回事，但是請(qǐng)不要馬上就滿(mǎn)眼星星緊握雙手面帶微笑說(shuō)出“所有事物，所有人，你和我，都是相連的，我們都不孤單”這種鬼話(huà)。量子糾纏跟你我這種宏觀(guān)物體的意識(shí)沒(méi)有半毛錢(qián)關(guān)系。是的，我們都很孤單。 磁力王能控制所有金屬的東西，但數(shù)學(xué)天才并不能控制彩票和手機(jī)，盡管它們的號(hào)碼都是數(shù)字。這種想當(dāng)然的聯(lián)系可以說(shuō)是愚蠢至極。還有中國(guó)古代傳說(shuō)人們之間系有紅線(xiàn)，這確實(shí)是令人心馳神往的意境，但預(yù)知并控制這種聯(lián)系，卻已進(jìn)入了神棍的領(lǐng)域。你可以在宗教范疇里盡情去虛構(gòu)和闡釋?zhuān)?qǐng)不要把無(wú)辜的數(shù)學(xué)扯進(jìn)來(lái)。 是的，編劇你不懂中國(guó)的紅線(xiàn)，你也不懂?dāng)?shù)學(xué)，那不意味著他們就是一回事！你看不懂人與人之間的聯(lián)系，你也看不懂?dāng)?shù)學(xué)證明，但你不要認(rèn)為有人能看懂?dāng)?shù)學(xué)證明的話(huà)，就能看懂人類(lèi)的聯(lián)系了。 數(shù)學(xué)不神秘，也不超自然。數(shù)學(xué)的美和巧妙，惟有理解才能體會(huì)。“雖不明但覺(jué)歷”是各種神秘超自然流神婆大師愚弄和催眠信眾的安慰劑，但它不屬于科學(xué)。科學(xué)不需要神棍，不需要安慰劑，這些不科學(xué)。

The ratio is always the same.1 to 1.618 over and over and over again.The patterns-- are hidden in plain sight.Just have to know where to look.Things most people see as chaos actually follow subtle laws of behavior.Galaxies, plants, seashells.The patterns never lie.But only some of us can see how the pieces fit together.7,080,360,000 of us live on this tiny planet.This is the story of some of those people.There's an ancient Chinese myth about the Red Thread of Fate.It says the gods have tied a red thread around every one of our ankles and attached it to all the people whose lives we're destined to touch.This thread may stretch or tangle, but it'll never break.

S01E02：

I live on this planet with 7,080,360,000 other people.This is the story of some of those people.Today the average person will say 2,250 words to 7.4 other individuals.We will send over 300 billion e-mails,19 billion text messages,all adding to the giant mosaic of patterns and ratios.Mathematical in design,these patterns are hidden in plain sight.You just have to know where to look,but only some of us can see how the pieces fit together.It’s all been predetermined by mathematical probability.

S01E03:

There are 3 million species of animals living in the tropical rain forests,and one of them,the red fire ant,lives underground,under constant threat of annihilation from flash floods.Nature doesn’t care.If a species want to survive,it has to prove it deserves to.When the floods come,the fire ants hold on to each other,creating a living raft that can float until the water recedes.Months,if necessary.So how does a species figure something like that out ?Instinct?Trial and error?Was there one fire ant who was being swept away by the rushing water and grabbed on to another ant,only to find that together they could float?What if you were the one who knew what needed to be done but you had no words?How do you make the others understand?How do you call for help?

S01E04:

The first transatlantic telegraph cable was made of 340,500 miles of copper and iron wire,designed to stretch 2,876.95 miles along the ocean floor.Once the cable was in place,you could use electrical impulses and signal code to send any message you wanted to the other side of the world.Human beings are hard-wired with the impulses to share our ideas and the desire to know we’re been heard.It’s all part of our need for community.That’s why we’re constantly sending out signals and signs.It’s why we look for them from other people.We’re always waiting for messages,hoping for connection.And if we haven’t received a message,it doesn’t always mean it hasn’t been sent to us.Sometimes it means we haven’t been listening hard enough.

S01E05:

490,000 babies will be born today,each of them unique,and each of them a link in the greater human chain.And the moment their umbilical cord is served they will become an individual with their own hopes,dreams and desires.But, in fact,each one of us is actually made up of a dozen systems.

S01E06:

89 degrees,15 minutes and 50.8 seconds.That’s the current position of Polaris.The Northern Star.Viewed from another planet,it’s just one among many.But on Earth,it’s uniquely important.Fixed in place,an anchor.No matter where you are in the northern hemisphere,if you face Polaris,you face north.You know where you are.But there are other ways to get lost.In the choices we make.In events that overwhelm us.Even with our own minds.What can be an anchor then?What beacon can we turn to to guide us from darkness to light?What if it’s other people?The lives that touch our own,in ways big and small?Because unlike Polaris the light that they bring will never fade.

S01E07:

During cataclysmic global events,our collective consciousness synchronizes.So do the numeric sequences created by random number generators science can’t explain the phenomenon,but religion does.It’s called prayer.A collective request sent up in unison,a shared hope,fear relieved,a life spared.Numbers are constant until they’re not.In times of tragedy times of collective joy,in these brief moments,it is only the shared emotional experience that makes the world seem less random.Maybe it’s coincidence.And maybe it’s the answer to your prayers.

S01E08:

If two points are destined to touch the universe will find a way to make the connection.Even when all hope seems lost certain ties cannot be broken.They define who you are.And who we can become.Across space across time along paths we cannot predict nature always finds a way.

S01E09:

The Earth,as it rotates,emits a frequency,a musical note,at 7.83 hertz.But this frequency alters slightly for reasons as yet uncertain.Some postulate solar flares as the cause,or electrical disturbance in the atmosphere.But maybe there’s a simpler explanation.Maybe the sound of the planet is influenced by the seven billion souls whirring around it,each producing their own music,adding their own harmony.

S01E10:

We’re all part of this infinite tessellation,each a single celllin the honeycomb.And though individual pieces of this puzzle may never physically touch they all from part of that same grand mosaic.Like bricks in a wall, the whole is made stronger by each brick.Remove one,and it all comes crumbling down.Though we may not realize it,the integrity of this wall is tested daily.But the wall holds because of everyone’s collective support.

S01E11:

Items that get caught in the gyre usually stay in the gyre,doomed to travel the same path,forever circulating the same waters.But not always.Their paths can be altered by a change in the weather,a storm at sea,a chance encounter with a pod of whales.

S01E12:

There are 31,530,000 seconds in a year.1,000 milliseconds in a second.A million microseconds.A billion nanoseconds.And the one constant,connecting nanoseconds to years,is change the universe.From atom to galaxy,is in a perpetual state of flux.But we humans don’t like change.We fight it.It scares us.So we create the illusion of stasis.We want to believe in a world at rest,the world of right now.Yet our great paradox remains the same .The moment we grasp the “now” that “now”is gone.We cling to snapshots.

S01E13:

We can’t help but wonder how much different one person makes in the world.We look inside ourselves,questioning if we have the capacity for heroism and greatness.But the truth is,every time we take an action,we make an impact.Every choice we make sends ripples out into the world.Our smallest acts of kindness can cause a chain reaction of unforeseen benefits for people we’ve never met.We might not witness those results,but they happen all the same.
