In this era of rapidly changing science and technology and the explosion of knowledge, there is a growing emphasis on the function of science and technology as the primary productivity and on the material power of science, yet insufficient attention is paid to the spiritual power of science and technology. In the view of the author, science is both material, productive and intellectual, cognitive and spiritual. In the hundreds of gardens of human civilization, science, as a cultural sphere, is rich in scientific thought, scientific ethics, scientific thought, scientific methods and so forth. It is an essential cornerstone of the construction of spiritual civilization, a source of intellectual light for human creativity and an important role and value。
Science shines in the world. Science, as a spiritual expedition of humankind to the unknown world, as a special awareness exercise embodying human creativity, brings us a scientific spirit along with scientific ideas, scientific ideas, scientific knowledge, the basic requirements of which are realism, innovation, criticism, truth, and scientific thinking, attitudes and methods, such as rational thinking, rigour, logic and free exploration. Turning the history of science, galileo, newton, einstein and others, they opened scientific thinking, spirituality and methods, like the lighthouses in the dark, to light the world. In the light of the scientific light, people continue to shine on the eyes of their minds, view themselves and the world, adjust the scale and scope of practice, reflect on the balance and boundaries of science and humanity, and gradually accumulate and extract scientific world views。
The spirit of science shines on society. Science includes not only natural science, but also social science and thinking. The social sciences focus on human society and history, reveal the complex relationships between human beings, human beings and society, enrich our understanding and knowledge of society and help us to better govern society. The second scientific and technological revolution was accompanied by the emergence of important theoretical achievements, such as the theory of control, the theory of information, the theory of systems, the theory of dissipation, the theory of synergy, the theory of mutation, etc. Of dynamic and open systems, not only in the form of a clear picture of natural connections in a near-systemic form, but also in the form of modern scientific methods and thinking, such as the best environmental systems, such as organizational management of resources, society, business and the best environmental systems to preserve the space in which human activities exist, such as the system-wide thinking method. The development and application of modern science is constantly shaping and reshaping the content and form of human culture and making people's lives better, while constantly creating accessible and efficient products and services for the consumption of science and technology。
The spirit of science brightens the future. The development of science has shaped a new and wonderful world of orderly harmony and has given humanity a vision of the future. The development of information and data science has brought us a new way of thinking. For example, in the context of big data, many human behaviour is predictable. From this point of view, human behaviour is not a discrete independent event, but a segment of an interconnected data network. In this large web of data, the relevance of many events and their patterns of development have become traceable. And, for example, in everyday life, we can only sense and realize a three-dimensional world, while the superstring theory brings us into a 10-dimensional universe of the universe, brings new scientific thinking and approaches, and opens up a new, exciting and beautiful spiritual field。
The spirit of rational thinking, questioning criticalness, eternal curiosity and commitment to exploration inherent in science will reflect and guide humanity towards the future, striving to climb and constantly create new spiritual peaks。
