Chapter 198 Are Magic and Science Contradictory?

Nick LeMay was successfully brought back to Azkaban by Lockhart. When leaving, Nick LeMay asked Lockhart to resurrect his wife as well.

"Although we have asked her opinion, according to my experience with her for more than 600 years, the reality is so wonderful, and there are so many things we haven't seen, she should be willing to come back."

Lockhart reused a shadow clone as a sacrifice to resurrect Nick Flamel's wife. Sure enough, when Nick Flamel's wife heard Nick Flamel talk about the changes in the world now, she expressed her excitement about the resurrection.

This couple may be the most compatible old couple in the wizarding world. Lockhart remembered that there were 25 years of silver marriages, 50 years of gold marriages, and 60 years of diamond marriages in previous lives.

What kind of marriage is Nick Flamel and his wife?Lockhart thought for a while, and there was only such a thing as a Sorcerer's Stone marriage. This old couple was a legitimate Sorcerer's Stone marriage.

Lockhart brought the old couple back to Azkaban. After construction, Azkaban is not only the only university in the magic world, but also the "club school" of the Red Ghost Society.

There are also the older generation of wizards who have cultivated rich practical experience in magic, but lack the guidance of systematic scientific theory.

Lockhart himself served as the principal and class teacher of the Red Ghost Society School, which was the place Lockhart valued the most.The school of the Red Ghost Society will start on September [-]nd.

Lockhart brought Nick LeMay and his wife to Azkaban to arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and applied for a work-study wizard at the University of Azkaban for them in the name of being old and needing care. Introduce your surroundings.

Afterwards, Lockhart began to prepare the content of the speech at the opening ceremony of the Red Ghost School tomorrow.

After the British Council of Wizards and Magic was established, many mid-level and high-level ministers and directors were equipped with assistants or secretaries to assist in their work, but Lockhart did not.

On the one hand, of course, it is because Lockhart has a bug-like skill like Shadow Clone, which allows him to handle many things at the same time without needing too many helpers.

On the other hand, it is because Lockhart feels that any person who wants to say something is not from his own hand, but is done by others, it will inevitably cause errors in expression, and it will not be conducive to his own understanding of his own thoughts. and control.

"Other articles are written by myself!" This sentence is what Lockhart has always remembered. The article is written by himself. It may not be as colorful and colorful as the secretary's writing, but it can best express his own meaning. , so as not to cause misunderstanding.

What Lockhart wanted to teach the wizards in the school of the Red Ghost Society who had rich experience in magic but lacked the guidance of systematic scientific theories was the relationship between magic and science.

These people are a bit older, and they are prone to admit death, go straight to the dark, refuse to accept new things, or completely abandon previous experience when accepting new things, both of which are undoubtedly not advisable.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in the classroom on the top floor of Azkaban, the opening ceremony of the school of the Red Ghost Society is being held. There is no grand ceremony, no TV broadcast, and only two meeting recorders are recording the scene with a magically reformed pensieve sound and picture.

Lockhart and the youngest and 60-year-old wizards talked about a topic-whether magic and science are contradictory.

"As we all know, modern scientific research in the Muggle world does not support nor does any magic exist, so a large part of our wizarding community believes that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between science and magic. Because science believes that magic does not exist."

This passage from Lockhart expressed the biggest confusion of many old wizards when they first came into contact with the scientific system these days. Because science believes that magic does not exist, they believe that science cannot guide the development of magic.

"But one thing I will say is that science is the most shaky thing, and scientists are the most shaky group of people in the world,"

"This is like many atheists. Some people think that atheists are very firm, but in fact atheists are the least firm. If they really see the so-called God one day, they will immediately believe in the existence of God. But, The problem is that there is no evidence of God in the world, and all the claims of God's existence come from a book that I don't know how to make up."

"Similarly, science and scientists are also the least determined. As long as we show magic to them, scientists and science will immediately start studying magic and recognize magic research as part of science."

"There is materialism in our thoughts. Many people have learned a lot of materialism and think that materialism is against the existence of magic."

"For this point, I would like to expand and explain that materialism is only due to the active concealment of our wizard group in the past and no evidence of the existence of magic, so we believe that magic does not exist."

"Nowadays, we obviously know the objective fact that magic exists, so we, as materialists, must admit that magic is materialistic and scientific."

"There is no contradiction between science and magic, magic is also part of science!"

Lockhart spoke very slowly and colloquially this time, mainly hoping to really reverse the thinking of these older wizards, so that they, who have rich experience in magic practice, can also contribute to the integration of magic and science.
