导读:关于冥王星“身份”的辩论已经结束,冥王星也已从太阳系9大行星中出局。这是人类对宇宙认识的一大进步。它涉及的不仅是科学领域的问题,也涉及到人类的历史、文化问题。76年来人们已经掌握、熟悉的科学知识一下子要根本性地改变难免引起各方反差很大的反应,更何况人类的认知还有那么多不尽合理、充满矛盾的定义、概念。本文作者对此提出了自己的看法。需要注意的是行文的语气和文中涉及的一些美国文化知识。
Introduction: The debate about Pluto “Identity” has ended, and Pluto has also been eliminated from the solar system’s 9 major planets. This is a major advancement of human understanding of the universe. It involves not only the problems in the field of science but also the history and culture of human beings. The scientific knowledge that people have already mastered and is familiar with in the past 76 years has suddenly changed. It will inevitably lead to great reactions from all sides. What’s more, human cognition has so many definitions and concepts that are not reasonable and full of contradictions. The author of this article put forward his own opinion. What needs attention is the tone of the text and some American cultural knowledge involved in the text.
