Humanistic culture of physics

Abstract: Physics as a most basic natural sciences, the formation and development in the production process, contains a wealth of human Culture. In order to fully tap the thinking of natural science, humanities, science and Culture and the humanities to strengthen the links between Culture, the article From the materialist dialectics, Aesthetics, scientific and moral analysis of 3 aspects of human Culture in Physics.

Keywords:: Physics, humanities

Physics is a basic natural sciences, it is to explore the basic structure of matter and movement of the subject matter, so people often think Physics is boring theoretical formula contains some, but ignored the physics included in the human factors such as human philosophy, Aesthetics, ethics and so on. In fact, the physics in the production, the formation and development process, the people not to study physics and physics, but to help people, societies and individual human development and Research physics, all of which relate to the relationships between people, between man and nature, these relationships are rich in human Culture.

Wu, a famous physicist, has pointed out: To avoid a crisis in the sustainable development of society, a pressing issue currently is to remove the two cultures in modern culture, namely, scientific and humanistic culture barriers, and strengthening both links. no more suitable place than the University. only when the two cultures gap to be bridged in the university garden, we can give the world a coherent and compelling description. so we need to discuss the scientific culture humanistic thought.

The following analysis from a cultural point of view of the humanistic ideas of physics, mainly in the following aspects:

1 Materialist Dialectics thinking in physics

Physics in ancient times was called natural philosophy, physics as an exact science Research is published in 1687, Newton <"Natural philosophy Mathematical Principles>> began. With the development and continuous improvement disciplines, physics was split off from philosophy to form a separate subject, but the implication of physical culture, philosophy will not be separated.

1.1 The practice is the sole criterion for testing truth
Physics is an experimental science, theoretical physics experiments both to establish a physical basis is the truth of physical theory test method. Prof Yang said, "is based on experimental physics-based disciplines," many theories of physics are demonstrated through experimental tests results, reflects the epistemological point of view of materialist dialectics - Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

1.2 The material is generally associated
The history of physics, many substances are generally reflects the views of contact. For example, people used to isolate the electric and magnetic, physicist Oersted unified philosophy to accept the forces of nature. Believe that there is some kind of electric and magnetic potential links between, After years of Research, finally found the magnetic effect of current, and thus created a new era of electromagnetism. to link up electricity and magnetism, which is reflected the characteristics of dialectical materialism - matter is generally linked.

1.3 The development of things in the process of "negation of negation" rule
People and their understanding of the nature of physical phenomena is constantly developing and improving them, every process of building a theory are the concept of "experiment (the fact) - hypothesis - experiment (new facts) - fixed theory" follows the dialectical materialism of the "negation of negation" rule. For example, in the entire history of the optical light nature of the development of awareness of the issue, first of Newton's particle theory, and then the elastic wave theory is Huygens, Maxwell then made wave action, said the 20th century, Einstein proposed that light quanta. In the end it is recognized that light has wave-particle duality, the nature of human understanding of light to precisely follow the "negation of negation" know the law of reflection.

1.4 The main conflicts and contradictions in the dialectical relationship between the secondary
In order to facilitate Research problems in physics, often seize the main features of the object, ignoring the secondary features of the object, while pumping out some ideal model. Such as "particle" is an ideal model to retain the actual existence of the mass and position, and ignore the size and shape of the object itself, reflecting the dialectical materialism of the "principal contradiction and the secondary contradiction dialectical relationship between."
1.5 Movement of relativity and the relativity of space and time
One of the major theories of modern physics - Einstein's theory of relativity in a lot of philosophical issues involved. The most prominent is the relative motion and relative concepts of time and space. Relativity that: the essence of the principle of relativity is the fact that the relativity of motion, and there is no absolute motion. relativistic denial of the existence of absolute motion to deny the concept of absolute space and time. It's the speed of light through the same space and time into the joint as a whole, established by the Lorentz transformation between different inertial space relationship.

Can be seen, both physical and cultural knowledge itself, or the physical and cultural formation and development of the process is rich in philosophical thinking, the human view of nature and philosophy have a significant impact.

2.1 The aesthetic characteristics of the physical theory
Simple and profound beauty 2.1.1
In the eyes of an artist is a kind of simple beauty. Complex natural phenomena, physics, which seeks to use a simple equation or law to the general laws of nature, but reflect the inherent laws is indeed very profound. Such as energy conversion and conservation laws reflect a variety of different forms of energy conversion, Newton's three laws is summed up all kinds of low speed conditions, the laws of mechanical movement, electromagnetic equations of Maxwell's electromagnetic phenomena Tongyi complex in which the basic principles of Einstein's theory of relativity simple and concise, but content is really rich and deep.

2.1.2 Symmetry Conservation United States
Symmetry is also widely present in nature that people are willing to accept an aesthetic form, physics expressions of nature in all show the beauty of this symmetry: gravitation and repulsion, "Electro-magnetic" and "Magnetic Health Power "particles and anti particles, matter and antimatter, or a single slit diffraction pattern circular symmetry, infinite straight wire around the magnetic axis of symmetry and so on. physical laws of the invariance of a gauge transformation, conservation is run through a symmetrical form of the physics, there are many conservation laws of physics such as: conservation of momentum, conservation of mechanical energy and so on. In fact, the symmetry of contemporary physicists have become a way of physical theory.

2.1.3 United States of unity
Physical theory of harmony beauty harmony beauty of nature is actually the theory of forms. Such as Maxwell's electromagnetic theory the electric, magnetic, optical unification up, quantum mechanics and particle nature of the unity of the volatility up, Einstein's theory of relativity the time, space, matter and motion unite the classical physics is contained in the within the framework of his theory, creating a wider range of higher degree of harmony theory.

2.2 physicists and Aesthetics
World famous physicist Dirac said: Let an equation with a sense of beauty is more important than the agreement with the experimental. French scientists Poincare said: "Scientists study natural, because he can get from the fun, he has been able to have fun, because of her beauty. "famous physicist Chen Ning Yang once said:" The principle of physics has its structure, the beauty of this structure has its place with the wonderful, and all workers for the structure of physics in the United States with different wonderful feeling of the place, have a different understanding, because we have different feelings, so every worker will develop his own unique method of Research with the research and form his own style. "
Many well-known physicists have the singular ability to perceive beauty, Aesthetics and evaluation in the creation of many physicists theories of physics play a major role in the inspiration and guidance. Trace the source of Human Sciences, Science United States has always been used as a human the pursuit of ideals, as scientists dedicated to science, painstaking research of the direct driving force.


3 moral spirit of science in physics

3.1 Exploration of the unknown spirit of curiosity and
Curiosity is an emotion, a spirit, is the most important scientific spirit. The real driving force of scientific progress is that many physicists to understand the desire of the unknown. Newton saw the apple, why go to Apple from the falling down, so think of gravity, Archimedes drew inspiration from the bath tub and found the water rose and penetrated his body parts of the intrinsic link between the volume and found the identification of adulteration of the gold crown is the method to produce Archimedes discovered buoyancy and so on. This kind of unknown spirit of curiosity and exploration, the development of physics and of human civilization has a very important role.

3.2 realistic and innovative spirit of science
The basis of practical knowledge, while innovation is the core of the scientific spirit of the Revolution .20 century physics tells us: the road of scientific development scientists to set up a new theory of time, must have the courage to have the old theory , the courage to challenge old ideas. For example: Aristotle, Galileo is because "force is generated because the movement of objects," the suspect, was to establish the correct relationship between force and motion. that Newton later laws of motion generation. famous physicist Chen Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee is a keen awareness as to the suspect had never been the law of parity conservation scope boldly put forward the thesis that the weak interaction parity violation, only the physical theories have a breakthrough.

3.3 Co-operation and tolerance
The development of physical science, cooperation and a spirit of tolerance. The modern period of big science, a scientist often only a step to complete a step or even just part of many major scientific and technological problems, dependent on the multi-disciplinary, multi-faceted force collaboration, therefore, to promote cooperation and exchange of scientific research activities of the team.

The development of physics, it is thought many physicists in the materialist dialectics, Aesthetics of the guidelines continue the success of physical phenomena, processes, and build deep, beautiful theories in physics, in physics, in addition to the birth of the strict logic of the process reasoning outside scientists thought the image of human accomplishment and inspiration, inspired, inspire creativity are also essential. so we attach importance to the theory of physics can not be ignored in physics contains the human culture. American physicists and physics education Home Rabbi said: "Only the integration of science and humanities, we can expect to achieve with our time and our generation commensurate with the culmination of the wisdom."
