| [00:06.14]1994 [00:09.06]According to the new school of scientists, [00:11.58]technology is an overlooked force in expanding [00:14.51]the horizons of scientific knowledge. [00:17.34](1)<Science moves forward, they say, [00:19.86]not so much through the insights of great men [00:22.17]of genius as because of more ordinary things [00:25.21]like improved techniques and tools.> [00:27.73](2)<"In short," a leader of the new school contends, [00:30.85]"the scientific revolution, as we call it, [00:34.07]was largely the improvement and invention [00:36.69]and use of a series of instruments [00:39.22]that expanded the reach of science [00:40.98]in innumerable directions."> [00:43.50](3)<Over the years, tools and technology themselves [00:46.84]as a source of fundamental innovation [00:49.25]have largely been ignored by historians [00:51.37]and philosophers of science.> [00:53.78]The modern school that hails technology argues [00:56.52]that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, [01:01.14]and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to, [01:05.06]and derived great benefit from, [01:07.09]craft information and technological devices [01:10.20]of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments. [01:14.44]The centerpiece of the argument of a technology--yes, [01:18.08]genius--no advocate was an analysis [01:21.70]of Gialileo's role at the start of the scientific revolution. [01:25.93]The wisdom of the day was derived from Ptolemy, [01:28.87]an astronomer of the second century, [01:31.08]whose elaborate system of the sky [01:32.95]put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions. [01:36.99](4)<Galileo's greatest glory was that in 1609 [01:40.51]he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope [01:44.25]on the heavens to prove [01:46.15]that the planets revolve around the sun [01:48.67]rather than around the Earth.> [01:50.98]But the real hero of the story, [01:52.56]according to the new school of scientists, [01:54.79]was the long evolution in the improvement [01:57.40]of machinery for making eyeglasses. [01:59.54]在线英语听力室(www.tingroom.com)友情制作 [02:00.45]Federal policy is necessarily involved [02:02.89]in the technology vs. genius dispute. [02:05.91](5)<Whether the Govemment should increase [02:07.67]the financing of pure science at the expense [02:10.44]of technology or vice versa (反之) often depends [02:13.67]on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.> |
