关于九州伪科学奖的设立说明
来自：大角(广电黑名单)

九州伪科学奖是《九州·伪科幻》杂志设立的一个年度奖项。它颁发给当年为中国伪科学事业做出了卓越贡献的民间科学家们。 该奖项的提名标准极其严格，被提名者必须不但提出了荒谬绝伦的理论，还必须以诚诚恳恳不知疲倦的老黄牛精神，为该理论的大众普及进行不懈的斗争和艰苦卓绝的努力。 我们要为此感谢这些民间科学家们强烈的献身精神和娱乐精神；同时，也希望给快乐的观众朋友们带来一些思考乐趣。 最后，给这些民间科学家颁奖，还有着伟大的哲学意义。 朱迪·迪恩提及一个有趣的现象，在官方科学和所谓的伪科学的王国之间的对话中，可以清楚地看到这一现象：官方科学家以一种教条主义的轻视态度在进行研究，而伪科学家们却在不含通俗偏见的事实和论证中寻找。 现实本身是一种妄想，当代经验一次又一次地把这种情形推到我们面前。我们并不知道真相是什么，想尼奥这样“独一无二”看到所有真相的人，不能在我们的矩阵里生存。 这么一来，问题就复杂化了。 我们知道哲学擅长的就是把问题复杂化。现在的问题是：到底谁是疯子？ 要给出答案，我们要先提出一个疯子的定义。我们通常说，疯子不能照事物的本来面目认知世界，因为他的心被幻觉投影所牢牢占据。 拉康说：疯子不仅仅是把自己想象成国王的乞丐，疯子也是把自己想象成国王的国王。 这句话不太好理解，你要是一下子看懂了这话，说明你不是一个正常人。 让我来举个例子，有个老公疯狂地怀疑自己的妻子和别人上床，这个念头始终占据他的脑海，无时无刻困扰着他，那么很明显，这人是个病态怪叔叔。 可是有一天我们发现，他妻子真的和别人上床，这个疯子怀疑的事情居然是对的——但是，结论依旧不变：这个满脑子真实影象的怪叔叔还是个病态。 这是一个悖论。 或者，真相是中学英语课本里那个倒霉的拿破仑士兵喊出来的。拿破仑问“我们两到底谁是疯子”时，这位士兵自豪地高喊：“Both！Sir！” 同理可证。社会如果是不正常的，但它是一个社会象征领域里的大他者，超脱在任何评介标准之外，所以它依旧是始终是“正常的”“健康的”，而活在其中的正常的人，就变成了“不正常”和“疯癫”。 总而言之，给这些人颁奖，并不比这个社会本身更荒谬。

bruceyew 2006-08-29 15:39:34: 有多少奖项？ 不过，今年的年度大奖毫无悬念啊，肯定是三元四色。
富有骑士精神的获奖者，太合适了。

我反对，
思考的正确性，不完全取决与结论。方式方法更为重要。
两小儿辩日貌似悖论，其实有正确与不正确的区分。

这里好好玩丫！ 拉康说：疯子不仅仅是把自己想象成国王的乞丐，疯子也是把自己想象成国王的国王。 这后半句话我的理解是： A.白日梦谁都有，但疯子疯到了国王级别，比如，本骑士cult级呕像菲利普迪克。
B。乞丐由于发疯真的当上了国王，比如，第三帝国希元首。
C。自己本来就是国王，或者起码世俗的认定如此；但由于自我内心的虚弱或危机感而怀疑这个身份，于是“想象自己是国王”，比如，哈姆雷特
回到搂住的主贴文本中去：强烈赞同设立次奖项！
目的如下： A 给疯子们建立一个精神家园，反正这个操丹的社会已经制造了不少疯子，现在需要升华为一种文化了……名号无所谓，无论伪科学伪科幻，真正的疯子不怕自嘲……（soft version 1.0.0#）
B 疏导某些狂人的里比多发泄渠道，以免他们成为真正的国王或“国王”（hard version 1.0.0#）
C 这片土地好像没有天生的贵族，通常有点希望的攒了不到三代就被咔茬茬了……

-----------------引用的分割线-----------------
主题: 蒋春暄和威尔斯是谁第一个证明费马最后定理
本文是邵逸夫数学奖公布后，蒋春暄的新论文。基本点是：威尔斯证明费马最后定理的基础是黎曼假设，而黎曼假设只是假设而已。在本文，蒋春暄还进一步证明黎曼假设本身是错误的。蒋春暄说，20世纪重大数论成果是建立在黎曼假设基础上的，不论中国还是外国，如果黎曼假设被推翻，则意味着动摇整个20世纪数论成果。显然，不管蒋春暄数论是对是错，都将是世界数学界一次大地震。 “天地生人学术讲座”提出“蒋春暄现象”，呼吁学术界对蒋春暄数论成果评审已多年，但作用不大。近几年来，蒋春暄数论成果在国外不仅发表论文很多，并已有专著出版；蒋春暄的研究成果并不是数论中的皮毛或边角，而是世界数学精英们应引起强烈关注的数学问题。这均是涉及国家和民族荣誉的大问题。 但百思不得其解的是，近几年来除何祚庥、方舟子两位非数学界人士出来说蒋春暄数论是“伪科学”外，再听不到中国数学界人士的评价，对蒋春暄数论成果表现出出奇的冷漠，不说对也不再说不对。不仅这样，世界数学界也不约而同地对蒋春暄数论成果表现出出奇的冷漠，好象世界上从来没有出现过极具挑战性的蒋春暄数论。
-----------------好奇的分割线-----------------
我承认我对这个论文的好奇程度不亚于对“黎氏定理”的向往，问题是它居然是英文的。。。哪位行行好给找个中文版的？

哈哈,忍不住注册上来冒个泡。俺对蒋老师早就有研究了。 研究成果有两篇Research Paper呢。转贴过来：
Research paper 1:
中国出了个蒋春暄？
北星
http://www.qingyun.com/cgi-bin/ut/threaded_show.cgi?tid=58996&pid=240599&h=1
忙完了一个学期，终于可以稍稍喘口气了。上网溜搭一阵，偶然发现 中国出了个不得了的数学大师蒋春暄：一举解决了包括费马大定理，哥 德巴赫猜想和黎曼猜想等重大数学猜想。赶紧补课，学习研究一下这位 大师是何等人物。下面的参考文献是俺的研究成果。这位大师的论文还 真是正儿八经发表了的。还是发在美国的一本叫作《代数.群.几何》的 杂志上。俺真是纳闷加郁闷，发表这么重大成果的杂志俺怎么听都没听 说过呢？便在美国的数学评论杂志Math Review的网页上查，居然查到 了蒋春暄的大作。居然有19篇之多。赶紧看看专家们怎么评的。可惜， 遗憾，怎么他的那些宣称证明了那么些重大猜想的文章都没人评论呢？ 到是有篇关于分解大数的文章遭到了老外专家的如此评论： The author gives even faster factoring methods in which 6 is replaced by 30 or 210. In fact, these methods are almost as slow as trial division. (作者用30和210取代6，给出了更加快速的分解方法。事实上，这些方法 跟一个个数去除的方法一样慢。) 俺心里想，这老外专家真是可恶，这不是在讽刺挖苦咱们国产的大数学 家吗？再往下看，终于看到了另一篇文章也有老外专家评论。如获至宝， 心里想老外专家不会都这么恶毒吧？打开一看，文章题目是 The application of stable groups to biological structures (稳定群在生物结构中的应用) 评论原文如下： The author proves some elementary facts about certain semigroups of mappings from {1,2,。。。，n} into itself, and notes in particular that certain desirable properties occur when $n$ is prime or double a prime. He uses this to motivate the claim that for this reason prime numbers occur frequently in nature by natural selection. For example, he mentions that we have 5 fingers. He even claims that Homo sapiens is so advanced because we have 46 (twice a prime) chromosomes in a cell! (译文：作者证明了某种从{1，2，。。。n}映射到自身的半群的一些基本性 质，并注意到当n为质数的时候的一些预期的性质。他在这些结果的基础上断 言这就是质数在自然和自然选择上频繁出现的原因。例如，他提到我们每人 都有5个手指(译者注：5是质数)。他甚至声称人类之所以如此高等是因为我 们的细胞里有46个(质数的两倍)染色体！) 心里想，这个数论研究有点邪门了，居然研究出了生物进化的规律。这老外 数学专家看来也不知道说什么了，胡乱在后面打了个感叹号，好像也是恶毒 讽刺咱们的大数学家的成分居多。一看发表文章的杂志，居然是咱们国家的 《数学物理学报》(英文版)。俺开始觉得脸上有些发烧。俺在这杂志也发过 那么两篇文章呢。俺怎么会跟这么个数学大师在一个杂志上发文章呢？多想 一想，心里又放下了一点，好在这位数学大师发这文章的时候(85年)还没有 证明出哥德巴赫猜想，还没有用4页纸证出费马大定理。而且，证明哥德巴赫 猜想的文章也没发在《数学物理学报》。要不然俺的脸真不知道往哪里放了。
真是学无止境啊。呵呵。

哥德巴赫俱乐部(伪科学幻想小说)
北星
(本故事乃虚构。若有雷同，纯属巧合。)
“20？”门口的黑衣人眼睛瞪着我问道。
“13加……加……7。”我回答道。紧张地看着他。
“嗯，不错。进去吧。”他侧开身子让我进去。
我心里一宽，连忙走进了屋。
屋里，一个瘦高个子的中年男子背着手站在对面的墙前面，看着墙上贴着的五 花八门的剪贴。我还记得他。他就是大名鼎鼎的葛德，哥德巴赫俱乐部的主席。
他回头看了我一眼，黑边眼镜后面的一双鹰眼仿佛闪出一道光。“坐吧。”他 说。
我在前面的桌子边坐了下来。他转过身，坐在了我的对面。“姓名？编号？” 他问道。
“江……江川，一……一百零……零三号。”我说。
“嗯。有什么进展吗？你的论文发表了？”
“没……没有。”提起论文，我的心里就有气。我从初二退了学之后，花了十 年时间证明了任何一个偶数都能够写成两个质数的和，也就是世界著名的哥德巴赫 猜想。我千辛万苦找到北京的数学所，将论文交给他们审查。谁知道看门的老头将 我训了一顿，说什么哥德巴赫猜想这种尖端课题不是我们这些业余爱好者能解决的 ，要我回家专心种田等等，还不让我进去。我一气之下，在数学所门口等了一下午 ，终于等到他们下班。我将我的论文递到了一个老教授模样的人手里。谁知老教授 将论文塞给了那个看门老头，说：“老王，你给处理一下吧。”老王头将论文接到 手里，对我诡笑了一下。我正要继续理论，一个西装革履的男子将我拉在了一边， 告诉了我这篇论文以后的命运。这论文将被扔到一个大麻袋里，等着哪天收垃圾的 来收走。后来，这个人带着我来到了现在我所在的地方，介绍我加入了哥德巴赫俱 乐部。原来，他是俱乐部的3号人物，蔡昆，北京一家个体书店的老板。听说他找 到了三种方法证明哥德巴赫猜想。
“你没有什么进展，跑来干什么？”葛德不耐烦地问道。他不等我回答，用手 指了指墙上的剪贴说：“你看看别人的成果。看看，啊。13号和57号的苦攻数学难 关的事迹上了报纸，42号和108号的事迹上了电台，31号的事迹上了报告文学，15 号和89号的事迹上了当地的电视。9号对费尔马大定理的证明被写进了小说发表还 获得了全国的小说大奖。24号的对哥德巴赫猜想的证明在国外的著名数学杂志《数 论．代数．宇宙》上发表，而且还要出专辑。你看看你看看，啊？你告诉我你都做 了些什么？”
我低下头，脸上发烧。“我我我……我找了我们县……县上的报……报纸，叫 他……他们发表我的证……证明，可是他他他……他们说我……我有……有病。”
“赫。我看你也有病，连话都说不清楚，还想发数学论文？”
“可是我也要……要为我国的数……数学事……业作……作出自自……自己的 贡献。为哥德巴……巴赫俱……俱乐部作出自……自己的贡……贡献。”
“你知道我们俱乐部的宗旨吗？”
“当……当然啦。我……我说话结……结巴，但我不是傻……傻瓜。我们的宗 ……宗旨是，争取论文发……发表，推翻中国数……数学界的所……所谓权……权 威。”
“好！那么你的贡献呢？你的贡献在哪里？拿出来我看看啊？”
“我我我……”
“嗯？”
“我有一件重……重要的事情汇……汇报。”
“什么事？说来听听？”
“我家的后院里有……有个飞……飞碟。”
“什么？你说什么？”
“飞……飞碟。外……外星人，我家后……后院。”
“你胡说，哪里有外星人？”
“是真……真的。你看，我这里有……有照片。”
葛德接过了照片，仔细地看着。照片上礁龃笸废竿认甘郑凶偶饧獾淖彀? 的矮个子怪物站一个有卡车大小的碟状物前面。后面是一个大草堆。“这……是真 的？”
“千真万……万确。”
葛德又继续看了一阵照片，想了一会，问：“你家在哪儿？”
我说：“在河北易县”。
葛德说：“我们得到你家去看看。”
“欢……欢迎。什……什么时……时候？”
“现在。”
“这么快？”
“对。要真是外星人，那对我们就太有利了。”葛德说完，拿起桌子上的电话 拨了起来。“喂，蔡昆吗？你能不能马上开车过来？有重要的事情。放下手里的一 切事情。现在就过来。对了。把小田也带上。”
我们等了大约四十分钟。蔡昆和小田开着车来了。小田是个记者，俱乐部的7 号人物，二十七八岁，显得很活跃的样子。葛德和我上了车，我们往易县方向开去 。一路上我们就听到小田叽叽喳喳讲个不停。说来说去，不外是外星人科学技术那 么先进，肯定早就证明了哥德巴赫猜想。那么，他们肯定能看出我们的证明是对还 是错啦。只要他们一开口，全世界还有谁会不相信的？
四个小时后，车停到了我家门口。我们穿过我们家简陋的房子，直接来到我们 家的后院。后院里空旷旷的，除了我的养鸡圈，还有房子那么高的一大堆草孤零零 地堆在院墙边上。“外星人呢？”葛德问道。
我冲着草堆喊道：“叽叽咕咕，你……你们出……出来吧。”
其他三个人看了我一眼。我说：“我……我叫他……他们叽叽咕咕。”
草堆动了一下，忽然散了开来，露出了里面的飞碟。飞碟表面看起来像是灰色 金属，形状像两个碟子口对口扣在一起。上面有两个窗口，还有几个天线一样的东 西伸在外面。随着一阵轻微的轰鸣声，飞碟前面缓缓地打开了一个门。两个大头细 腿细手，有着尖尖嘴巴的外星人从里面跳了出来。
葛德和菜昆张着嘴瞪大了眼睛说不出话来。小田则兴奋不已，用相机喀嚓喀嚓 照了几张照片，然后挥着手对着外星人喊道：“哈罗！你们好啊。你们真是外星人 吗？欢迎欢迎，我代表地球人民欢迎你们来地球参观访问。”葛德把小田拉过一边 。“你胡说什么？你代表得了地球人民吗？”菜昆清了清嗓子问：“两位就是叽叽 咕咕啦？请问两位是从哪个星球来的啊？”
两个外星人中的一个，也不知道是叽叽还是咕咕，用一种尖细的声音说：“咕 呱咕呱。”
“咕呱咕呱星？”菜昆问道。
两个外星人说：“是……是的。”声音很尖很怪，听起来像是老外说中文。
“你们会讲中文？太好了！我们能不能向你们请教个问题？”
“可……可以。”两个外星人中的一个说。
“怎么你们说话也结巴了？”菜昆看了我一眼说，“看来他们是跟你学的。”
“你们知道怎么证明哥德巴赫猜想吗？”葛德问。
“证……证明哥德巴……巴赫猜……猜想？”外星人说。
“就……就是一个偶偶偶……”我说。葛德打断了我的话说：“就是一个偶数 总可以写成两个素数的和。”
“偶……偶数？素……素数？”
“你们能不能说话不打结啊？啊？像我这样说。”葛德不耐烦地说。
“你……你们地……地球人不都……都这样说……说话的吗？？”
“都什么啊？”小田大笑起来，“你们遇到的第一个人是他，”他指了指我， “看来真是你们的福气啦。我们地球人怎么会都像他那样讲话？哈哈哈哈。”
“你们能像我这样讲话吗？”葛德说。
“可以。什么是偶数？什么是素数？”
菜昆比较有耐心。他说：“偶数就是2，4，6，8，10这样的数。素数就是除 了1和自己，没有别的因数的数。比如2，3，5，7，11，13等等。”
“因数是什么？”
“靠，你们怎么什么都不知道啊？”菜昆也有点不耐烦啦。“如果一个自然数 能写成两个自然数的乘积，那么这两个自然数就叫作原来那个数的因数。别告诉我 你们不知道什么是自然数，什么是乘积。”
“这个我们知道。”一个外星人说，“请再说一遍，什么是哥德巴赫猜想？”
“就是一个偶数总可以写成两个素数的和。”葛德说。
“这个有什么用吗？”
“有什么用？这可是数学的王后上的王冠啊。”
“这是什么意思？哥德巴赫猜想可以做王冠？”
葛德叹了口气，“看来跟你们说了你们也不懂。”
“你们地球人真是奇怪。我们对于没有用的东西不感兴趣。”
“可是，这个对我们很有用！”蔡昆说。
“对不起。我们不知道。也没兴趣知道。”
大家沉默了下来。空气中充满了尴尬的气氛。
忽然，我的鸡圈里传出了一阵“各各大”的声音。我们家的母鸡下蛋了。
两个外星人一下子露出兴奋不已的神色。“啊，鸡蛋！”他们喊了一声，便双 双向鸡圈扑去。里面的母鸡吓得飞了起来。两个外星人抢到了鸡蛋，用尖尖的嘴将 蛋壳戳破，抱着鸡蛋猛吸起来。两双大眼睛充满了陶醉的神情。葛德和蔡昆对望了 一眼，露出失望的神色。“江川，你的这两个外星人就是这样只知道吸鸡蛋，对数 学一窍不通的角色？”葛德说。
“这这这……这外星人不……不是我的啊。”我感到极其委屈，申辩道。
“唉，看来我们这一趟算是白来了。”蔡昆说。
“不，没有白来！”小田忽然在边上说。
“你有什么主意？”葛德问。
小田走到鸡圈边，对两个外星人说。“你们咕呱咕呱星球也会出书吧？”
“书？”外星人已经吸完了鸡蛋，其中一个用手揩了揩嘴巴说，“这是你们地 球上的又一奇怪的东西。我们才不会出那玩意呢。”
小田笑了笑说：“那没关系。我们可不可以以你们的名义出本书？”
“什么？”
“这样，我们打算出一本书，以你们咕呱咕呱星出版社的名义出版。为了证明 书的真实性，我们得在书中附上你们的照片和你们的签名授权书。”
“嗯……这不是欺骗吗？不行。”
小田恼火起来：“喂，你们知道什么是欺骗吗？啊？这个对你们一点坏处都没 有，还可以给你们星球打出名声。你们要是不出，我们找糊里糊涂星球出。到时候 好处都被他们占去了你们可别后悔！”
两个外星人都摇着头。其中一个说：“不行。这种事我们不能做。”
一边站着的蔡昆插嘴了：“我说，你们想不想要很多很多的鸡蛋？”
两个外星人的眼睛一下子瞪大了：“很多很多的鸡蛋？当然当然。我们要我们 要！”
“如果你们同意我们的提议的话，我们就会给你们很多很多的鸡蛋。”
两个外星人互相看了一眼。同时对我们点了点头。“好的。我们同意了。赶快 给我们鸡蛋！”
“好！你们在这里等着。鸡蛋明天就给你们送来。”
第二天，他们送来了两大筐鸡蛋。得到了外星人的签名授权书。外星人带着鸡 蛋，满意地离开了地球。一个月之后，《论哥德巴赫猜想的证明》在蔡昆的书商朋 友帮助下正式出版。作者是江川。出版单位是“咕呱咕呱星科学出版社”。书的封 面上，两个大头细腿细手，有着尖尖嘴巴的外星人笑着向大家招手。三天后，《科 学技术报》登出了报道了中国业余数学家江川《论哥德巴赫猜想的证明》由外星出 版社出版的消息。两星期后，《北方周报》刊登了评论员文章《令人深思的“江川 现像”》。一个月后，数学所所长在社会舆论的强大压力下辞职。新任所长是钢铁 厂工程师，著名哥德巴赫学者葛德。不久，数学所大半数学家被迫离职。三个月后 ，我从农村老家转到了数学所任研究员，开始了我的推翻相对论的研究。蔡昆和小 田早已在数学所作了客座研究员。从此以后，中国的数学终于走上了正轨。
在后来的日子里，当我穿着新买的衣服，走在中关村那干净整洁的街道上去数 学所上班的时候，我常常这样想：中国的数学，真该感谢那两大筐鸡蛋啊。

菜昆比较有耐心。他说：“偶数就是2，4，6，8，10这样的数。素数就是除了1和自己，没有别的因数的数。比如2，3，5，7，11，13等等。”
“因数是什么？”
“靠，你们怎么什么都不知道啊？”菜昆也有点不耐烦啦。“如果一个自然数能写成两个自然数的乘积，那么这两个自然数就叫作原来那个数的因数。别告诉我你们不知道什么是自然数，什么是乘积。”
“这个我们知道。”一个外星人说，“请再说一遍，什么是哥德巴赫猜想？”
“就是一个偶数总可以写成两个素数的和。”葛德说。
“这个有什么用吗？”
“有什么用？这可是数学的王后上的王冠啊。”
“这是什么意思？哥德巴赫猜想可以做王冠？”
葛德叹了口气，“看来跟你们说了你们也不懂。”
“你们地球人真是奇怪。我们对于没有用的东西不感兴趣。”
“可是，这个对我们很有用！”蔡昆说。
“对不起。我们不知道。也没兴趣知道。”
大家沉默了下来。空气中充满了尴尬的气氛。
忽然，我的鸡圈里传出了一阵“各各大”的声音。我们家的母鸡下蛋了。
两个外星人一下子露出兴奋不已的神色。“啊，鸡蛋！”他们喊了一声，便双双向鸡圈扑去。里面的母鸡吓得飞了起来。两个外星人抢到了鸡蛋，用尖尖的嘴将蛋壳戳破，抱着鸡蛋猛吸起来。两双大眼睛充满了陶醉的神情。葛德和蔡昆对望了一眼，露出失望的神色。“江川，你的这两个外星人就是这样只知道吸鸡蛋，对数学一窍不通的角色？”葛德说。
“这这这……这外星人不……不是我的啊。”我感到极其委屈，申辩道。
“唉，看来我们这一趟算是白来了。”蔡昆说。
“不，没有白来！”小田忽然在边上说。
“你有什么主意？”葛德问。
小田走到鸡圈边，对两个外星人说。“你们咕呱咕呱星球也会出书吧？”
“书？”外星人已经吸完了鸡蛋，其中一个用手揩了揩嘴巴说，“这是你们地球上的又一奇怪的东西。我们才不会出那玩意呢。”
小田笑了笑说：“那没关系。我们可不可以以你们的名义出本书？”
“什么？”
“这样，我们打算出一本书，以你们咕呱咕呱星出版社的名义出版。为了证明书的真实性，我们得在书中附上你们的照片和你们的签名授权书。”
“嗯……这不是欺骗吗？不行。”
小田恼火起来：“喂，你们知道什么是欺骗吗？啊？这个对你们一点坏处都没有，还可以给你们星球打出名声。你们要是不出，我们找糊里糊涂星球出。到时候好处都被他们占去了你们可别后悔！”
两个外星人都摇着头。其中一个说：“不行。这种事我们不能做。”
一边站着的蔡昆插嘴了：“我说，你们想不想要很多很多的鸡蛋？”
两个外星人的眼睛一下子瞪大了：“很多很多的鸡蛋？当然当然。我们要我们要！”
“如果你们同意我们的提议的话，我们就会给你们很多很多的鸡蛋。”
两个外星人互相看了一眼。同时对我们点了点头。“好的。我们同意了。赶快给我们鸡蛋！”
“好！你们在这里等着。鸡蛋明天就给你们送来。”
第二天，他们送来了两大筐鸡蛋。得到了外星人的签名授权书。外星人带着鸡蛋，满意地离开了地球。一个月之后，《论哥德巴赫猜想的证明》在蔡昆的书商朋友帮助下正式出版。作者是江川。出版单位是“咕呱咕呱星科学出版社”。书的封面上，两个大头细腿细手，有着尖尖嘴巴的外星人笑着向大家招手。三天后，《科学技术报》登出了报道了中国业余数学家江川《论哥德巴赫猜想的证明》由外星出版社出版的消息。两星期后，《北方周报》刊登了评论员文章《令人深思的“江川现像”》。一个月后，数学所所长在社会舆论的强大压力下辞职。新任所长是钢铁厂工程师，著名哥德巴赫学者葛德。不久，数学所大半数学家被迫离职。三个月后，我从农村老家转到了数学所任研究员，开始了我的推翻相对论的研究。蔡昆和小田早已在数学所作了客座研究员。从此以后，中国的数学终于走上了正轨。
在后来的日子里，当我穿着新买的衣服，走在中关村那干净整洁的街道上去数学所上班的时候，我常常这样想：中国的数学，真该感谢那两大筐鸡蛋啊。

豁然发现了这个东东。这是谁干的？ http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%AA%E5%B9%BB
伪幻 维基百科，自由的百科全书 跳转到： 导航, 搜索 [编辑] 源流 伪幻是“伪科学幻想小说”的简称。不同于“伪科学幻想”，伪幻并非对科学幻想的伪造，而是在伪科学理论的基础上，运用同科学幻想一致的技法和思想创作而成的幻想作品。
伪幻与科幻的区别在于其核心理论的荒谬，作者和读者都明了这种荒谬，却有意地弄假成真，演绎出更加荒谬的故事情节。
伪幻与奇幻的区别在于，奇幻的理论基础是神话、传说，与科学风马牛不相及，而伪幻依据的伪科学理论，虽然同样荒谬，却总是竭力伪装成科学的样子。
伪幻是科幻小说的子集，也是讽刺小说的子集。
[编辑] 实例 下面实例可能便于理解伪幻的思路：
伪幻的开山之作是北星的《自由坠落》。其理论依据是一名民间科学家提出的：坠机时人只要不离开机舱，以机舱为参照物保持静止，落地时即可不受伤害。《自由坠落》在此基础上设计了一种高空坠落的比赛，每个人脚下踩着一块木板，从空中下落，因与木板之间保持相对静止故尔安然无恙，以及在比赛中互相暗算的故事。
同一题材的跟进作品有大雷神的《龙象般若功》，借用《神雕侠侣》的片段，讲述了金轮法王倒立起来，改变参照系的坐标方向，形成将地球举起来的效果，从而令站在身边的三大高手“向下”跌落到宇宙深空里的故事。

肯定这帮人干的，你看看这两个例子……
其实有相关的研究的~
Pseudo-sciences are here defined as belief systems which, though adopting a scientific or quasiscientific terminology, are generally regarded as erroneous or unproven by the orthodox scientific community; frequently they not merely disagree with, or are improbable adjuncts to, accepted science but violate its fundamental tenets. They are not to be confused with the IMAGINARY SCIENCES, which are literary conventions, although the borderline can be blurred, especially with pseudo-technologies such as ANTIGRAVITY devices.
The adherents of many of the pseudo-sciences often display an almost religious fervour -- indeed, some pseudo-scientific schools, notably SCIENTOLOGY (which is registered as a Church), use terminology that is consciously more religious than scientific. A further aspect is that creators of and believers in pseudo-scientific cults often interpret the scientific establishment's indifference or contempt in terms of jealousy or even as a self-interested conspiracy designed to conceal the Truth. The type-example of this occurs in ufology (> UFOS), where scientists, politicians, the military, the CIA (especially) and even the presumed ALIEN crews have been frequently accused of mounting cover-ups of global proportions. (John A. Keel has used the lack of good evidence of alien visitors as an indication that such alien visitors do indeed exist: who else would be able to mount such an effective cover-up?) Martin GARDNER has documented such PARANOIAS in his classic study of pseudo-scientific cults, In the Name of Science (1952; rev vt Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science 1957), and the cultic aspect of pseudo-scientific belief systems is noted even in the titles of two further surveys of the field: Cults of Unreason (1973) by Dr Christopher Evans, which is moderately sympathetic, and The New Apocrypha (1973) by John T. SLADEK, which is very comprehensive and occasionally strident. Other works of note include: The Natural History of Nonsense (1947) by Bergen Evans, which concentrates on biological/zoological fallacies; Can You Speak Venusian?: A Guide to the Independent Thinkers (1972; rev 1976), by Patrick MOORE, which is an idiosyncratic personal survey; Science: Good, Bad and Bogus (coll 1981) by Gardner; Science and the Paranormal (anth 1981) ed G. Abell and B. Singer; Facts and Fallacies: A Book of Definitive Mistakes and Misguided Predictions (1981) by Chris MORGAN and David LANGFORD; A Directory of Discarded Ideas (1981) by John Grant (Paul BARNETT); and Pseudoscience and the Paranormal: A Critical Examination of the Evidence (1987) by T. Hines. A Dictionary of Common Fallacies (1978; rev and exp in 2 vols 1980) by Philip Ward contains a great deal of scattered information on the pseudo-sciences. The best journal on the topic is probably The Skeptical Inquirer, published from Buffalo, New York, by the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.
Few people could read any of these books without finding one or other of their own pet beliefs being dismissed as nonsense; Gardner, for example, has many harsh words about osteopathy, and Sladek is not gentle with Teilhard de Chardin's theories of EVOLUTION or Marshall McLuhan's ideas about the SOCIOLOGY of the MEDIA LANDSCAPE; Grant, contrariwise, has been attacked for declining to dismiss some pseudo-sciences as necessarily absurd rather than just exceptionally unlikely. Such reactions point up the difficulty of defining the topic with any precision, and also indicate that the authors of these books may have prejudices of their own.
There has always been a close and rather embarrassing link between the pseudo-sciences and sf. Some commentators have suggested that, at its lowest level, sf appeals to a childishness in readers, an unwillingness to get to grips with the real world-qualities which could equally be ascribed to devotees of various of the pseudo-sciences. When Gardner wrote in the mid-1950s that "the average fan may very well be a chap in his teens, with a smattering of scientific knowledge culled mostly from science fiction, enormously gullible, with a strong bent towards occultism, no understanding of scientific method, and a basic insecurity for which he compensates by fantasies of scientific power" he was describing not pseudo-science believers but sf fans; and in part he had a point, given that his context was a discussion of John W. CAMPBELL Jr's editorials puffing PSIONICS. Other aspects of mid-1950s magazine sf, notably its tales of PARANOIA, its SUPERMAN fantasies and its obsession with ESP, were not inconsistent with Gardner's caricature.
Pseudo-scientific ideas have a rather different spectrum in sf than outside it. For example, pseudo-medicine is probably the richest (pun intended) area of pseudo-science, being the region that attracts the most frauds as opposed to sincere theoreticians, yet pseudo-medicine is rarely encountered in sf. An early example is A.E. VAN VOGT's flirtation in Siege of the Unseen (1946 ASF as "The Chronicler"; 1959) with the notorious eye exercises devised by William Bates (d1931). Since about the mid-1970s, when ideas of Mind/Body/Spirit became fashionable, the ability of characters to heal themselves has, in sf, subtly shifted out of the more general category of PSI POWERS to become regarded as a reasonable consequence of a general enhancement of the mind; such an attitude is found in David ZINDELL's Neverness (1988), among very many others. Trepanation -- drilling a hole through the skull in the pineal region in order to improve general and particularly intellectual health, promoted from 1965 by the Dutch theoretician Bart Huges -- makes a brief appearance in David CRONENBERG's film SCANNERS (1981). But such examples are trivial in comparison with the huge diversity of pseudo-medical ideas found outside fiction. One sf idea that has affected pseudo-medicine was LYTTON's vril, described in The Coming Race (1871); in the 1920s the US businessman Robert Nelson marketed his cure-all, Vrilium, which -- unlike another product named for vril, Bovril -- was fortunately not recommended for oral consumption: it proved to be rat poison. At a more fundamental level, one might make a case that sf has contributed more to the pseudo-sciences than they have contributed to sf.
Psychiatry -- more specifically psychoanalysis -- has provided sf and fantasy authors with better pickings. Some critics would dismiss the theories of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) as largely if not entirely pseudo-scientific; and the same can be said with greater assuredness of some of the later ideas of Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), which drew also upon sciencefictional notions. Reich came to believe that he was a focus of a SPACE-OPERA-style cosmic battle between friendly and hostile UFOs, powered by the "orgone drive". He assisted the Forces of Good and defended himself against the Forces of Evil using one of his own inventions, the cloudbuster, which dispersed "destructive orgone energy". Of psychological interest was the Christos Experiment carried out by occasional sf writer G.M. GLASKIN and others in the 1970s, which suggested that the human mind, in something akin to a dream state, was capable of exploring past and future incarnations (> REINCARNATION). Sf has also produced its own psychiatric ideas, notably those associated with DIANETICS and Scientology. Perhaps the most enthusiastic exploiter of such notions in genre sf has been A.E. van Vogt, who played a prominent role in the early days of dianetics and was also much influenced by the GENERAL SEMANTICS philosophy of Count Alfred KORZYBSKI. In more recent years Colin WILSON, who admires van Vogt greatly, has based a considerable amount of his fiction on unorthodox psychological hypotheses; the most interesting example may be his novella "Timeslip" (1979), which mixes the (now rather more reputable) theory of the divided brain with notions of the paranormal and the possibility of humanity developing radically new modes of thinking -- a CONCEPTUAL BREAKTHROUGH in more than one sense of that term.
Perhaps the greatest single source of pseudo-scientific ideas in genre sf has been the work produced by Charles FORT in the 1920s and 1930s. Fort himself was not a pseudo-scientist per se -- he was a chronicler of strange events rather than a theoretician -- but he had a habit of scattering wild theories through his writings in the form of humorous asides. These have been rich ground for sf writers in search of story-ideas, but some seem to have taken them with a greater seriousness. The two areas of his theorizing that have most influenced sf are ESP/PSI POWERS and the notion that we are being secretly observed, and perhaps controlled, by mysterious intelligences. The latter hypothesis is reflected in many theories at the wilder end of ufology, in the sort of PARANOIA demonstrated in the lurid stories of Richard SHAVER, in the lasting popularity of H.P. LOVECRAFT's Cthulhu Mythos -- extensively imitated and developed by others -- and, in a roundabout way, in the idea that we have been visited many times in the past by ALIENS, who have directed the evolution of our technology (as in the works of Erich VON DANIKEN; sf stories reflecting this last view are discussed also in the entries on ADAM AND EVE and ORIGIN OF MAN). It is worth noting here that the notion of some archaic and long-lost alien race having "seeded" all the technologically developed planets of the Galaxy has become something of a CLICHE in SPACE OPERA; on occasion, where the setting is the very FAR FUTURE, humanity itself -- or its AI emissaries -- has been the "seeding" race. The cliche is interestingly deployed in, for example, John BRUNNER's A Maze of Stars (1991).
One of the most influential pseudo-scientists of the latter half of this century has been Immanuel VELIKOVSKY. He first put forward his theories in Worlds in Collision (1950), a book that came to prominence largely thanks to the misguided overreaction to it of orthodox scientists. In his first few books Velikovsky examined countless legends of catastrophe from the Bible and MYTHOLOGY, and claimed these were explicable in terms of profound cosmic disturbances. (In several books in the 1960s W. Raymond Drake repeated the exercise, this time coming to the "inescapable" conclusion that the disasters could be explained only in terms of warring alien races -- the "Gods".) Most notable was Velikovsky's idea that the planet VENUS is recent, having been spat out of Jupiter during biblical times and swooping repeatedly near to the Earth before settling in its current orbit; these close encounters naturally caused great upheavals on Earth. In the early 1980s there was an outburst of what can be termed "neo-Velikovskianism", typified by Peter Warlow's The Reversing Earth (1982); such revisions of the core theories, being considerably more scientifically literate than the original, proved harder to refute and, because this time few scientists bothered to make the public attempt to do so, were perhaps more influential on the scientifically ignorant intelligentsia. A number of sf novels have been directly affected by the original ideas of Velikovsky (see his entry for examples) or the later revisions; the most notable is The HAB Theory (1976) by Allan W. ECKERT. A good parody of Velikovskianism is Judgement of Jupiter (1980) by John T. SLADEK writing as Richard A. Tilms.
A less well known catastrophe theory was produced in 1886 by the US Quaker scientist Isaac Newton Vail. This was that all planets go through a phase or phases of having rings of ice like those currently observable around the GAS GIANTS. Natural instabilities in Earth's primordial rings caused them eventually to crash down towards the surface, creating a hugely thick cloud canopy in the upper atmosphere. When this canopy in turn collapsed, there was of course the Flood. A sciencefictional exploration of this is Piers ANTHONY's post-HOLOCAUST novel Rings of Ice (1974). Another historically important theory of catastrophe was the World (or Cosmic) Ice Theory of Hans Horbiger, devoutly espoused by the Nazis in the years leading up to WWII; according to Nazi folklore, various "Jew scientists" like Albert Einstein fled Germany merely because they could not face the public demolition of their life's work in the light of Horbiger's discovered Truth. The theory seems to have been regarded by even the most sensationalist of pulp writers as too silly to be exploitable, but as late as 1953 the Horbiger Institute was using it to "prove" that the MOON's surface was covered in a deep layer of solid ice.
It is not only in GENRE SF that we find pseudo-scientific theories. Many eccentricities relating to Spiritualism and astral bodies (> ESCHATOLOGY), to IMMORTALITY and REINCARNATION were commonplace in late-19th-century sf, and are still occasionally found today. Theories concerning race (> POLITICS), usually implying Black or Native American inferiority, were depressingly common in LOST-WORLD stories and elsewhere (but at least theories were called on to support such claims of racial inferiority: the inferiority of WOMEN was usually just taken for granted), as were ideas about the lost continents ATLANTIS, Lemuria and Mu, and the hidden kingdoms inside the HOLLOW EARTH. For some decades after the Darwinian controversy, alternative theories of EVOLUTION were popular in sf, and the Lamarckian variant (founded on the notion that characteristics acquired during an individual's lifetime may be passed on to its offspring) proved especially fruitful for early writers; even today, Lamarckian ideas turn up more frequently than most sf writers would care to admit, as evolutionary ideas are misapplied to fictional ALIEN species -- although it might be claimed that evolutionary mechanisms may be different in distinct biologies. (Very common, of course, is the perfectly justifiable application of Lamarckian assumptions to the evolution of machine INTELLIGENCE.) Pseudo-scientific theories of DEVOLUTION and racial degeneracy appear in much early sf, including pulp sf at least up to the 1930s, John TAINE being a frequent culprit. Other SOFT SCIENCES have produced their own rashes of pseudo-scientific ideas, although the defining line between science and pseudo-science can in these areas be especially hard to draw, since the empirical testing of, say, a sociological hypothesis may require decades of patient observation. This is particularly true of FUTUROLOGY, which is often decried as being a pseudo-science in toto.
None of the predictive pseudo-sciences have been of much importance in sf, although they are often enough derided in stories whose own purportedly scientific underpinning is at least as dubious: we scorn numerology to pass the time before making a HYPERSPACE jump. Astrology (further discussed under ASTRONOMY) plays a part in several books, examples being MACROSCOPE (1969) by Piers Anthony and The Astrologer (1972) by John CAMERON. Numerology is rare; its wilder eccentricities are parodied in Martin Gardner's The Numerology of Dr Matrix (coll 197?; vt The Incredible Dr Matrix1976; exp vt The Magic Numbers of Dr Matrix 1985). An example of a numerology story is "Six Cubed Plus One" by John Rankine (Douglas R. MASON). From about the mid-1980s, though, the Tarot has become popular in stories on the borderline of sf and fantasy; examples are Mary GENTLE's "The Tarot Dice" (in Scholars and Soldiers [coll 1989]), Marsha Norman's interesting mainstream novel The Fortune Teller (1988), and the original anthology Tarot Tales (anth 1989) ed Rachel POLLACK and Caitlin Matthews.
The above is not to imply that some of the theories discussed here (especially those relating to ESP and psi powers) have not had their supporters among the reputable scientific ranks. For example, the scientific essayist (and novelist) Arthur KOESTLER gave support to Jung's idea of synchronicity (that there are acausal principles affecting events, as well as cause-and-effect) in The Roots of Coincidence (1972) and made a case for Lamarckism in The Case of the Midwife Toad (1971), where he also dealt with seriality, a hypothesis, closely akin to synchronicity, developed by the Austrian biologist Paul Kammerer (1880-1926). The mathematician John Taylor for some years gave credence to the supposed fork-bending abilities of Uri Geller (1946- ), although later he recanted, in Science and the Supernatural (1980). J. Allen Hynek, a reputable space scientist, contributed considerably to ufology. The psychologist H.J. Eysenck gave rather qualified support to the psi powers, as in Explaining the Unexplained: Mysteries of the Paranormal (1982) with Carl Sargent. The neurologist Kit PEDLER was another to take the psi powers seriously, as in Mind Over Matter: A Scientist's View of the Paranormal (1981), and many physicists engaged in quantum mechanics today are open-minded about areas of parapsychology that were scientifically TABOO a couple of decades ago. Yet the sometimes aggressively illogical, proudly irresponsible outpourings of pseudo-science have on occasion played a considerable part in establishing such taboos. For example, it was possible in 1966 for Carl SAGAN to speculate joyously about the possibility that alien races might indeed have come among us in the remote past, as he did in Intelligent Life in the Universe (1966) with I.S. Shklovskii, without in any sense damaging his own scientific credibility; 10 years later, post-von Daniken, it would have been a brave scientist who would have done the same. Similarly, investigations in the late 1960s and 1970s by the French statistician Michel Gauquelin of possible correlations between planetary positions at individuals' births and their subsequent personalities brought down on him considerable abuse from the scientific establishment -- not because of his research per se (interesting but inconclusive) but because he was seen to be working in the taboo area of astrology.
The heyday of pseudo-science fiction was arguably the 1950s. Since the 1960s sf writers within the genre, less so those outside it, have in general been more responsible in their use of the dramatic possibilities of the pseudo-sciences, at least within HARD SF, which purports to be based in the scientifically plausible. On occasion their rejections of perceived pseudo-science have been overenthusiastic; for example, in his novel Quatermass (1979), Nigel KNEALE derides the (today perfectly respectable) notion that megalithic monuments might be prehistoric astronomical observatories on the grounds that, as computers were required to discover all their astronomical alignments, our ancestors would have required computers in order to design them -- an argument exactly analogous to the proof that bees can't fly.
Many sf writers, including Isaac ASIMOV and John Brunner, have actively campaigned against the mindless acceptance of pseudo-scientific propaganda and its greedy exploitation by book publishers. Brunner, for example, wrote a scathing article on the latter subject, "Scientific Thought in Fiction and in Fact", for Science Fiction at Large (anth 1976; vt Explorations of the Marvellous) ed Peter NICHOLLS, presenting the view that the publishing boom (now somewhat abated) in books on the pseudo-sciences was leading to a great deal of cynical and fraudulent production of fictions masquerading as fact; sf writers at least maintain their fictions as fictions.
Some sf writers have used the tool of parody to counter the influence of the pseudo-scientists: Sladek has produced not only the Velikovsky parody mentioned above but also Arachne Rising: The Thirteenth Sign of the Zodiac (1977) and The Cosmic Factor (1978), both as by James Vogh; Langford is responsible for An Account of a Meeting with Denizens of Another World, 1871 (1979) as if with his wife's (genuine) ancestor William Robert Loosley; and Grant for Sex Secrets of Ancient Atlantis (1985). Persistent rumour has, despite his strenuous denials, claimed Patrick Moore as author of Flying Saucer from Mars (1955) by "Cedric Allingham".
During the late 1980s there began a disturbing tendency for pseudo-scientists (examples include the Church of Scientology, Uri Geller, US ufologist Stanton Friedman [1934- ] and Whitley STRIEBER) to respond to criticism with litigation. Sf writers and readers, angered by the threat to freedom of opinion, have been prominent among those supporting the victims of such actions. To extend Brunner's point: the greatest triumph of pseudo-science will come if it is permitted to impose the acceptance of its fictions-or, at best, its hypotheses -- as fact. [PN/JGr]
