"Human Resurrection" is fast?The attitude towards scientific and technological progress must also be "scientific" ｜ Yangtze River comments

Recently, some netizens are happy for a scientific and technological news: Yale University's research team has obtained a technical breakthrough. After one hour of death, pig cells can also be partially restored. Netizens who are inspiring to this news believe that this does not mean not far from the "death of people".

Yale's experimental process is roughly. After the pig died for an hour, scientists used a technology called Organex to use the liquid of the pig's own blood, the synthetic hemoglobin, the drug to protect the cells and the drugs to prevent hematopoietic cubes. Essence In the next 6 hours, the blood of the pigs began to circulate again, including the cells of many organs, including the heart, began to recover function. Scientists said, "This tells us that the death of cells can be stopped." According to revealed, this technology is expected to be used for organ transplantation and prevent damage to the brain such as heart disease or stroke.

Helping the organisms and even human beings "resurrected". This experimental value scientist did not say that it was played by netizens. This is undoubtedly an imaginative judgment. Finding the key factor of reversing aging in young blood, thinking of "returning to old child"; finding that asteroids have a variety of amino acids, and think of "alien life"; when you see the super telescope taking black holes, you think of "time and space crossing" ... this kind of like this ... this kind of Starting from a small step in technology to launch the ultimate association's thinking characteristics, it is unique to human beings. The technological progress of human beings is obtained under the guidance of this great imagination.

But our attitude towards scientific and technological progress may be more "scientific". The ultimate association of too large span and omitted too many intermediate processes may also become a misleading exaggeration, which may cause the scientific and technological cause to fall into a state of irritability, and even enter the wrong track. Between the jumping and death of the pig's heart and death, maybe I do not know how many light years, maybe it is proven to have no connection. Between our assumptions, there are a lot of difficulties, and we need to solve them one by one.

Science and technology will always welcome imagination, but do not like exaggeration and imputation. To treat scientific and technological progress, we need a simple mentality: not only believe in the efforts of scientific researchers, not easily reprimanded as false news and pseudo -science; nor is it troubled by scientific research conclusions, forming too high expectations or unrealistic blind optimism. Our "belief" of scientific and technological progress can be pulled as long as possible. Even if the results are not seen in a lifetime, we do not easily doubt no, but this "believe" is always under the control of rational emotions.
