Chit Nge (Philosophy) - From Science to Truth

Chapter (1)

MAX BORN

Regarding Makkahbon..

Science is practical. Philosophy is speculative. Buddhism is moderate. In human history, practical science has led the way. Philosophy is comparative and inferential. Buddhism is calm and peaceful. Science is usually active. Philosophy is slow and gradual. Buddhism is peaceful. The author praises science. Respects philosophy. Admires Buddhism.

Many scientists want to say that theory is not as important as practice. Philosophy is about doing what you do and making science your disciples. Buddhism is about practicing to escape from the cycle. The author remembers EDDINGTON, who studied science. He was a "theoretical" person. However, a scientist named MAX BORN did not accept this idea. He pointed out the importance of practical research. He did not appreciate abstract thinking. He only valued the facts provided by experience. This can be read in detail in the scientist's book EXPERIMENT AND THEORY IN PHYSICS.)

MAX BORN, although a Nobel Prize winner, had disagreements with other Nobel Prize winners. For example, he and Einstein (although friends and colleagues) had disagreements at one time. This can be seen from a letter that Einstein sent to Born. This letter was written in German by Einstein. The points in this letter were translated into English by MAX BORN and presented in his book Open Natural Philosophy of Cause and Chance as follows: "IN OUR SCIENTIFIC EXPECTATIONS WE HAVE PROGRESSED TOWARDS ANTIPODES. YOU BELIEVE THE DICEPLAYING, AND IN THE PERFECTRULE OF LAW ..... INASPECULATIVE WAY....."

This letter is EINSTEIN's open confession. EINSTEIN's point is that he and BORN were fellow scientists who had traveled the same path, but they had different views. BORN believed in "uncertainty" and EINSTEIN believed in "certainty".

| EINSTEIN believed that “God would not play dice.” BORN expressed his belief in the uncertainty of the details of natural phenomena.
