Will we ever have another Copernicus, another Darwin, another Einstein to shake our beliefs?Keith Simonton, professor of psychology at the Universi
19、ty of California, has devoted the better part of his career to studying geniuses people who possess what he calls the highest level of scientific creativity. Simonton is talking about more than just wisdom. A true genius, the rare member of society, is a Renaissance human who can completely change t
20、he way we understand the world. Geniuses are people who come up with “surprising ideas that are not a mere extension (延伸)of what is already known”.A historical tour through the scientific revolution contains many people who fit this definition (定义),such as Einstein, Copernicus, Darwin, Galileo, Newt
21、on and Marie Curie. Each man and woman totally upended (颠覆)entire fields of research, or created entirely new ones. Simonton argues: “When was the last time that someone forced us to rewrite the textbooks in some field? Can you think of anybody since DNA? Stephen Hawking? Im not so sure by my defini
22、tion. Just a highly creative scientist.”So lets agree weve lost modem geniuses. Actually people are not duller as a whole and certainly scientists have high IQs. They probably have more original intelligence than people like Copernicus, because they have to gain so much more experience and knowledge
23、 to even become practiced in their fields. “Once you didnt need to go to college to become a great scientist. Later you needed college but not graduate school (研究生院).Then graduate school but not a post-doctoral school.” Simonton said. “Its becoming increasingly difficult to be a learned scientist.”T
24、he biggest and most fundamental problems in science have been solved. Every new advancement is just fitting in a piece in a larger puzzle. The scientists who will do this are still honorable individuals: Simonton compares them to Olympians. Just as athletes can win an Olympic gold medal by beating t
25、he world record only by a small part of a second, scientists can receive Nobel prizes for improving a small bit of theories.But the next great advances in research are combination of the classic subjects, Simonton points out. In the last century, weve gained astro-biology, astro-physics, bio-chemist
26、ry, and the like. When two subjects are mixed now, the result builds upon the work in the two subjects.Are there any great chances for combination of the major subjects? For biology, maybe its the origin of life: Whats the spark that got amino acids (氨基酸)to form proteins that eventually result in ce
27、lls? In physics, maybe its the inability to unite gravity with the three other forces of nature. “It ;nay well be that the only way to unite the four forces of nature is to rebuild physics from the ground up. That would take a major revolution. It takes only one new scientific genius to do that,” he
28、 wrote.41. How many geniuses does Keith Simonton mention in the passage?A. 3 B. 5 C. 6 D. 742. What is a genius according to Mr. Simontons definition?A. A creative man who can invent many thingsB.
