I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Science and Art, Reason and Sensibility

Xu Mang felt that Xiaoman's thinking was wrong. In fact, she couldn't be blamed for it. Most people would think that science is very rational, while art is very emotional, but this is obviously a misunderstanding of not understanding science and art.

cut!

You know shit! Yang Xiaoman pouted, and said with a face full of disbelief: You don't have any artistic cells in your body, I think you only have artistic pustules, do you stupid know what an artist is?

Xu Mang stretched his neck, and said seriously: First of all, art is not absolutely perceptual. I conducted a systematic research on the entire history of art when I was in the third year of high school, and I found that many of them are deduced by reason.

Senior year?

Is this the reason for sleeping every day in the third year of high school? Yang Xiaoman said angrily.

Cough cough! Xu Mang coughed lightly, and said seriously, Can you stop changing the subject? I'm talking about the history of art development. Do you know why Renaissance paintings are so brilliant? Why did they improve so much?

Of course I know! Yang Xiaoman said disdainfully: There is a very complicated relationship in it. First of all, after the eleventh century, with the recovery and development of the economy, the rise of cities and the improvement of living standards, people gradually changed the way they used to think. The pessimistic and desperate attitude of real life began to pursue the pleasures of worldly life.

And these are contrary to the claims of a certain religion. When Italian city-states appeared against a certain religion in the fourteenth century. Xiaoman said: In fact, it is a new movement of the bourgeoisie against feudalism! A wave of ideological emancipation.

No! Xu Mang shook his head: This is only part of the reason. The improvement of painting in the Renaissance is actually related to the geometry and anatomy behind it. The progress of these two disciplines has improved the improvement of painting at that time.

Da Vinci has done many, many anatomies, and he is very clear about the structure of the human body. If you look at his paintings, you will find that they are more accurate. Xu Mang paused, and continued: Do you know Impressionism? ?”

Impressionism?

Yang Xiaoman froze for a moment, and frowned slightly: Impressionism is an important school of art in the history of Western painting. At that time, Monet created an oil painting, which was attacked by the academics, who jokingly called these painters Impressionists, and that was it.

Oh? Xu Mang was a little surprised, and said cautiously, Since when did you pay so much attention to painting?

After pregnancy, Yang Xiaoman pouted and said calmly: My child is going to be an artist,

If even my mother doesn't know art, how can I cultivate it in the future? like you? Teach some gibberish?

hey-hey

You can teach him how to make money. Xu Mang said with a smile, Shenhao Xu Yang.

roll!

Hey, Xu Mang said hastily, Do you know why the Impressionists are so blurry? For example, the Monet you mentioned, their words are always unclear. In fact, it was because the photography technology at that time impacted the entire field of painting, and a new kind was needed. way of painting.

Impressionist paintings do not describe the object itself, but describe the light and shadow of the object. They are just capturing light and shadow. Xu Mang said: If you only capture light and shadow, there is no concept of lines. It's a blur.

But it can give you a more immersive feeling. Xu Mang gently grabbed Xiaoman's delicate hand, and said with a smile: Picasso's cubism, why put a person's front and side on the same plane .”

Many people think this is very strange. It's full of imagination, but it's not! Xu Mang said suddenly and seriously: Picasso is trying to answer a question, how to use a two-dimensional painting plane to express the integrity of a three-dimensional object.

This is a philosophical question, such as Dadaism, surrealism, symbolism, etc., which contain a lot of rational thinking and philosophical thinking. Xu Mang said: So the expression of art is perceptual, but it The core content is rational.

Total defeat!

It's really a complete failure!

The anger in Yang Xiaoman's heart, why is this guy so boring to study the relationship between art and disciplines, and also research so thoroughly, comparing horizontally and vertically, I am indeed not as good as him in parenting.

So annoying!

Could it be that I, my old lady, can't educate the charming son of heaven?

In Xiaoman's mind, no matter whether he is a son or a daughter in the future, he must surpass himself and Xu Mang in achievement, but it seems very difficult to think about it. After all, his and Xu Mang's positions are too high, and after thinking about it, he should still be an artist.

However, it never occurred to me that artists can't get around science.

Become a scientist?

impossible!

For Xiaoman, her husband is a scientist, and he is also a very powerful scientist. If his son is a scientist, he may not even be able to find a wife. If his daughter becomes a scientist, it is probably the same.

What's wrong?

Is it a little cold? Xu Mang felt Xiaoman trembling and asked blankly.

It's nothing but trembling with anger. Yang Xiaoman sighed, turned to look at Xu Mang, and said seriously, Husband, can you sign an agreement? It's just that I accidentally beat you to death someday, and You were killed voluntarily.

Xu Mang:? ? ?

These girls are a bit fierce!

What kind of overlord agreement is this? This is clearly a death agreement.

Ahem... Xu Mang gently hugged Xiaoman into his arms, and said softly, Don't make trouble.

snort!

I know how angry I am every day. Although Yang Xiaoman liked the feeling of being embraced by Zhang Zhang, he felt a sense of security, but when he saw his face, he felt upset.

Fuda,

Mathematics Building,

Director Ouyang is visiting a certain community, and this online community is a first-class mathematics research forum in Huaguo, and the first post is a report about a foreign genius who spent ten years solving a mathematical conjecture.

The owner of the post was very careful and translated the article in detail, which attracted the attention of many people in a short time.

The zone conjecture, a conjecture that has been around for over forty years, states that if a unit sphere is completely covered by several spherical zones, their widths sum to at least π.

This conjecture is very important. In the past, a top mathematician predicted that the solution to this problem has great practical application value and can promote the field of discrete geometry. This has been agreed by everyone.

For example, the closest packing problem helps to optimize coding and correct errors in data transmission; another example is the famous four-color theorem, which describes that four colors are enough to draw a map on a sphere, so that any adjacent in the graph Both regions have different colors.

And it led mathematicians to introduce the important concept of graph theory, which is central to many recent developments in chemistry, biology, and computer science, as well as in logic systems.

now,

The zone conjecture was finally cracked, but many people were angry about it. That genius was very rampant and threatened that the whole world would not be able to crack it, so he attracted a lot of scolding.

Many mathematicians participated in the action to crack the zone conjecture, wanting to prove that they have this ability, including several famous universities all over the world, and the mathematics departments of those universities are among the top in the world.

Harvard, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Cambridge, etc., the strong like clouds are all studying the zone conjecture without exception, and several universities in Huaguo have participated in this worldwide movement, but there are many difficulties, and everyone agrees. Stranger, there is no connection at all.

Director Ouyang was very anxious, but he didn't care about it. Seeing that several colleges and universities in Huaguo were so disunity, he felt a little disappointed. If it goes on like this, it will definitely fail.

In fact, at this time, it is no longer a simple game, but a confrontation in mathematics. It is obvious that Huaguo is currently on the weak side, because Huaguo's strongest mathematics department, the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, has not announced its progress for three days.

Basically, it is a big difficulty that cannot be solved for the time being.

For this,

Director Ouyang felt that instead of betting on the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, it would be better to find a big man who might have a chance to surpass him, and this big man was Xu Mang. He believed that as long as Xu Mang made a move, let alone surpass it, he would definitely That's it.

Didn't the so-called genius claim to have successfully cracked it in ten years? If it was Xu Mang, I believe he would be able to succeed in ten days.

At this point,

Director Ouyang was very confident that Xu Mang could give others such a feeling.

well

It's a pity! Director Ouyang sighed. Ever since Xu Mang's wife became pregnant, the world's top scientist has fallen into a state of confusion. He hasn't published any important research results for almost three months. People who don't know think it's just disappeared. .

bang bang bang,

There was a knock on the door, and then Deputy Director He Liqun came to the office.

Ouyang?

What did Xu Mang say? Deputy Director He asked, He hasn't had anything to do recently anyway, so he shouldn't have refused, right?

Refused.

It's true that nothing happened, but isn't his wife pregnant? Now he's a full-time father, traveling with his wife to relax. Director Ouyang said with a wry smile: Mr. He, we're embarrassed now. In this competition, our country of China is at the bottom.

What? Deputy Director He was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously, How did he degenerate into this state?

It's not depraved. After all, Xu Mang's first time as a father, the joy is understandable. Director Ouyang said, Forget it, let him rest. He was always so busy in the past. It's rare to have such a chance to relax.

Deputy Director He nodded and sighed: I don't know who can succeed.

It should be those top universities in the world. Director Ouyang said: At present, I am optimistic about MIT.

Yeah?

I think Princeton University can do it. Deputy Director He said, This is almost a contest among geniuses from all over the world. What a pity!

Director Ouyang knew what Mr. He was regretting. This monstrous feast lacked a major player and lacked that little taste. If Xu Mang participated, many people would probably quit early, but who knows? Maybe the people who participated more.

After all, Xu Mang was almost everyone's public enemy, and it was the dream of many people to defeat him.

He Lao?

If Xu Mang makes a move, how long do you think he can solve it? Director Ouyang asked.

how long?

It's hard to guess if you don't know the zone! Deputy Director He pondered for a moment, and then seriously replied: Let's make a conservative estimate for one year.

a year?

too long!

Director Ouyang frowned: I think ten days.

Ten days? Deputy Director He said in horror: Ouyang, you are simply too optimistic. The genius of the Sixth University of Paris, who has won the Abel Prize, started to study the zone conjecture at the age of eighteen, and studied it halfway After other questions, he is really the math version of Xu Mang.

he?

Is he worthy of being compared with Xu Mang? Director Ouyang shook his head, and said seriously: Hey, the distance between geniuses and geniuses is sometimes greater than the distance between ordinary people! At present, geniuses all over the world They all joined it, but they are not as good as Xu Mang!

Deputy Director He froze for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

Yeah!

The distance between a genius and a genius is sometimes really big! Deputy Director He said: It's a pity that we may not see this distance anymore.

afternoon,

Xu Mang accompanied Xiaoman to experience the wonderful scenery of nature. An hour later, the two walked on the bench next to them.

well?

Do you know how I felt about you when I was in high school? Yang Xiaoman lay in Xu Mang's arms and said with a smile, Have you ever watched Hot Blood High School?

nonsense!

Of course I've seen it. Xu Mang nodded, and said seriously, You've seen it too?

No!

But I saw it on Douyin, and I suddenly found that you are very similar to a character in Hot Blood High School. Yang Xiaoman said: Tamao Serizawa is exactly the same, usually looks silly, It feels like a dead man, but the shot is very powerful.

Xu Mang:? ? ?

What!

What does it mean to look silly at ordinary times?

fart!

I'm usually the smart one! Xu Mang said angrily, Maybe you don't understand the connotation of a handsome man like me, do you know what it means to be as wise as a fool?

cut!

I think it's stupid as wise. Yang Xiaoman said angrily.

At this time,

A gust of cool wind blew past, making the thinly dressed Xiaoman shrink back.

Are you cold? Xu Mang frowned and asked, There's a gust of cold air going south today, so didn't you bring a coat?

Not cold! Yang Xiaoman said stubbornly, Am I beautiful?

Beautiful! Xu Mang nodded.

Hearing Xu Mang's words, Xiaoman shrank into her arms again, and said hastily, Beauty is not cold.

Whoops

Fuck!

Xu Mang was completely convinced.

night,

came,

Xu Mang and Xiaoman were lying on the bed, each swiping their phones. Xu Mang was watching some news, keeping an eye on the latest news about the Nobel Prize, while Xiaoman was watching a certain debate program.

husband?

From a backward village all the way to the world's top prestigious schools, is it due to personal efforts, or other reasons? Yang Xiaoman asked curiously: Why do I almost see remarks about personal efforts in this program? Rather than other factors?

This question. Xu Mang pondered for a long time, and said seriously: I can't describe it, but if a person goes from a backward village all the way to a world-class prestigious school, it is definitely more than just personal efforts.

It is impossible to complete such a counterattack with personal efforts alone. Xu Mang said: Without the progress and development of the living environment, personal efforts cannot be successful.

Personal ideals and the destiny of the country cannot be separated. If one's own country is in trouble, it will be difficult to realize one's dreams even if one works ten thousand times harder. Xu Mang sneered: I don't really like listening to others talk about how good I am. effort.

Who doesn't suffer, who isn't caught in the middle and who doesn't work very hard to survive? Xu Mang shrugged: What do you think?

Um!

Yang Xiaoman nodded, and then resolutely gave this show a one-star review and left a message of garbage!

eleven o'clock at night,

Xu Mang lay on the bed tossing and turning. He was tortured by his curiosity. He glanced at Xiaoman in his arms, then carefully picked up the phone and searched for the conjectures about zone.

Whoops?

Interesting!

What are you doing? Yang Xiaoman didn't know when she woke up, she opened her hazy eyes slightly, and said helplessly, What time is it, go to sleep!

Sleep now, sleep now. Xu Mang put the phone back beside the bed, and hugged Xiaoman tightly.

Math feast?

A collision of geniuses?

hehe!
