As a fan of Newton, how to talk about fortune telling, it is normal, the beginning of science is philosophy, the end of science is theology, philosophy, theology actually contains a very strong logical thinking ability, itself is the bright pearl of human civilization, do not believe it, look down.
When I was a child, I experienced an incident, my grandmother is a well-known "half-immortal" in the village, in the era of relatively scarce medical resources, people with small problems in the village came to my grandmother, the process of seeing a doctor is "burning eggs", and then according to the situation of burning eggs, roughly what should be done after analysis, once, I had a ichthyosis on my left ear, and then after my grandmother burned eggs, she said that there was a stone in the creek ditch behind the mountain, and there were crabs under the stones, and the crabs were crushed and smeared behind the ears, and it would be good. So something magical happened, the ichthyosis behind my ears was gone, and at that time, I was not only admiring, but all I was left to do.
After I went to high school, I fell in love with mathematics, physics and chemistry, and thought that mathematics, physics and chemistry were very good, so the scientific logical thinking (Newton's mechanical worldview) deeply influenced me, and I began to try to use scientific thinking to solve my many years of confusion, how did my grandmother do it, in fact, it is very simple, maybe which chemical composition of the crab itself can remove ichthyosis, but even if I think I have solved my own problems, how to explain the other problems that my grandmother has cured before and calculated? This has to sacrifice a very important branch of mathematics, probability and statistics.
The so-called fortune telling, fortune telling, arithmetic, arithmetic, don't all have an arithmetic word, which makes me curious about what is the connection between the two, my understanding of fortune telling, in fact, is the experience of thousands of years of precipitation in China, such as the child born on the first day of February, after the induction and summary of the predecessors, tracking the life of most of the people born at that time, what is their character, what is their fate, from thousands of samples, take their intersection, when the sample size is large enough, you can also conclude that the person born at that time, What kind of personality will the probability be, what kind of preferences will there be, what kind of setbacks will be experienced, and the fortune will be roughly calculated, which is why sometimes you feel that fortune telling is very accurate, as long as the fortune teller himself learns the "statistical probability" (fortune telling book) is the conclusion of a large number of samples, it is the so-called half-immortal.
