Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 652: Speech on Truth

Davies quickly glanced at the audience: those angry faces were probably members of the Pythagorean school, and those who were dissatisfied looked at these people's audiences and estimated that they might be school students, school teachers, and Diao Some people in Niah, and some dazed people did not understand what happened.In the front row, these well-known scholars invited, some watched with cold eyes, some watched the siding attentively, others gestured with their hands, and seemed to be performing calculations...

The reason why Dean Mento Tick Els of the School of Numbers didn’t show up here, Daves knew that it was because he had a bad cold these days, and even his speeches were made by students instead of him. If he is here to do a steady job, I am afraid that such a thing will not happen.

Thinking of this, Davis once again glared at Matticoris, and then said aloud: "Everyone, this is the hall of academia. In this sacred place full of knowledge, there is no origin, status, high or low, nor the size of the fist. The level of the voice and the voice, everything is true in knowledge! Now I am standing here, not as a king, but as a knowledge seeker, I seriously ask all the scholars here. The young scholar just made Are the speeches and arguments made wrong?"

"That's good. Your Majesty!" Someone in the audience yelled, and applause rang out at the venue.

The applause grew warmer, and Daphes had to signal them to keep quiet, and then asked loudly again: "Is this argument wrong?"

There was a silence in the meeting place.

A member of the Pythagorean school stood up and said, "Of course there are mistakes!"

There was a loud noise again in the venue.

Daveus made an inviting gesture quietly and said, "Well, you come to verify its error!"

The member shook his head and said, "I don't need to go up, this thesis itself is wrong, there is no number independent of integers and integer ratios!"

Daveus's face gloomy: "The authenticity of knowledge is proved by knowledge, not by rogue! If the Pythagorean school still disturbs the conference in this way, I will not only question your academic level And will also list you as an unwelcome person at this conference and expel Turui!"

Daveus said coldly: "Now I ask again, is this argument correct?"

The members of the Pythagorean School, including Lucis, look at me, I look at you, all look nervous, but no one stands up and speaks.Why was Hipathos killed?It is because the members of the Pythagoras School are conservative and stubborn, but the mathematics level is absolutely top in the Mediterranean. They know in their hearts that the things verified by Hippassos are correct.For decades, members of the school have not dared to touch this field because of this reason.Now, of course, they dare not stand upside down and reverse the black and white, but they are mocked by other scholars for their academic level.

The venue was silent again for a while.

Athenian mathematician Ceaetus stood up, his expression dignified, said slowly: "I think that the entire argumentation process of Foster Carda is correct, and the root of the two is indeed a...new number."

As soon as his words fell, someone shouted, "You bullshit!"

Daveus raised his eyebrows, pointing at him and screaming: "Get me out of him!"

The soldiers rushed over immediately, put up the man's arm, and dragged him out of the venue.

Daveus thumped the desktop hard and said sharply: "I said, if anyone is dissatisfied, you can come to the argument. If anyone is making trouble below, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Daphes finished speaking, the noise on the floor was quiet.

Then several mathematicians from Kulani stood up one after another, thinking that Foster Carda's argument was correct.

"Good thing, Foster Carda!" Some of the audience shouted, some applauded, and some congratulated Foster Carda, and the venue began to be lively.

The members of the Pythagorean School stood up angrily, preparing to leave.

Upon seeing this, Davers said aloud, "Pythagorean scholars, please listen to me and decide whether to leave."

The words of Davers made Lucis stop temporarily.

Daveus said with a solemn look: "We humans have developed from the ignorance of ancient times to today, and we have an understanding of the mysteries of nature, which is the result of hard work and exploration by our sages.

Today you are bound to be richer in knowledge and have a deeper understanding of the world than the great scholars such as Thales, Anaximander, and Pythagoras a hundred years ago.Not because you are better than them, because you are standing on the shoulders of these giants, inheriting their knowledge, and using this knowledge to discover more knowledge, this is our Greeks, our entire humanity is constantly developing and growing , The reason for more prosperity and prosperity.Otherwise, humanity will only stagnate, or even eventually die out.

Pythagoras is a great scholar. He has expanded the field of mathematics and enriched the application of mathematics in society.However, he is not omniscient and omniscient. In fact, there are no omniscient and omniscient people in this world. Even the powerful god Zeus will have to ask others to know who will replace them in the future. His position.

There are a lot of ideas in the Pythagorean School that were discovered by later members, and I believe you all know it well.Therefore, of course, he may have made some mistakes because of insufficient understanding of the world.

It doesn't matter if there are errors, as long as you can find the error and be brave to correct it!Therefore, the excellent member of your school-Hippassos discovered this "unnatural number" problem!"

Daveus clapped the siding with his hand and said excitedly: "He bravely said the truth is based on a true love of mathematics! But the truth is often in the hands of a few people. To defend the truth, you have to pay the price of blood. !Hipassos is dead! He died in the fear, conservatism and ignorance of the other members of the Pythagorean school!

You cling to a false perception of Pythagoras, and shackle your thoughts and close your wisdom.Why don't you like an ostrich buried in the sand see it? Doesn't this number independent of the integer and the integer ratio disappear?!"

Having said this, Davers turned around and asked Foster Carda: "You tell me, how many are there like this?"

Foster Carda immediately said loudly: "There are still many, I have not counted the specifics, such as the square root of three, the square root of five...These numbers mainly exist in geometric calculations!"

"Very good!" Daveus nodded and said with greater confidence: "I believe you Pythagoreans will seldom study geometry, because as soon as you study it, you will encounter this problem! I believe it is not that no one has doubts about this issue, but once they think about the tragic encounter of Hipassos, they will choose to back down!

Geometry is supposed to be the most important field in mathematics, and it is closely related to our actual life.But sad!Because of a wrong understanding, it has become your heart disease in mathematics research for centuries, and it has become a stumbling block in improving and expanding the field of mathematics!

Here, I want to give you and everyone here a sentence,'I love my teacher, but I love truth more!'Because only true truth is the source of sustaining this world.It is there, and only brave people who are constantly learning, working hard, not afraid of authority, not afraid of sacrifice can continue to discover it!I look forward to the Dionysian Academy, Pythagoras School and all the scholars here to study the world in this spirit, then you will surely find more discoveries, so that our civilization will be more prosperous!I will stop here."

Daphus's voice just fell, and the audience stood up. There was a loud cheer in the venue, and even well-known scholars such as Ceaetus also applauded.

While applauding, Mattikoris said with excitement: "That's a great talk! Speaking of my heart! What your majesty said was exactly the reason I agreed to let Fostercada go up to speak!"

The students next to them didn't even bother to humiliate the teacher who was good at research and clumsy. They were all clapping hard.

Some members of the Pythagorean school left the venue angrily and angrily, and some members led by Lu Xishi chose to stay.

Davers turned back to Foster Carda and praised: "You have made such a bold speech with a fearless academic spirit. I think scholars throughout the Mediterranean world will be grateful to you because you have swept out research for them. A major obstacle to mathematics! I hope you can maintain this spirit and make greater achievements in your academic research! There are more discoveries!"

Foster Carda replied excitedly: "I will, Your Majesty!"

Davers patted his shoulder with relief, then faced the audience, bowed respectfully, and then left the venue.

Lucius and others looked at his back with a complex look.

Ceaetus and others watched him away with respect.

More listeners gave him a warmer applause.

This major event that took place in the number school venue quickly spread throughout the Dionysian Academy. No mathematician or student was pleasantly surprised by this new mathematical discovery. While he felt sad for the once-dead Sipasos, he also Was shocked by the thought-provoking speech of King Dionia at the venue.

In particular, the phrase "I love my teacher, I love the truth even more" in Davers makes the countless people repeat their nagging, which has a deep feeling, and also gives young students more motivation.

After Plato heard that, he even said to his students: "The words of King Daveus can prove that he is a philosopher!"
