4托尼當今世界充滿危險，因此就有了那個令人毛骨悚然的玩笑，說我們尚未受到外星文明造訪的原因在于：但凡文明發(fā)展到我們目前的程度，它們往往就自我毀滅了。電視上有一些相當優(yōu)秀的科學節(jié)目，但其他的節(jié)目把科學奇跡簡單地作為魔術播出，既不加以說明，也不展現它們與科學觀念的整體框架的關系。有關科學的通俗讀物和雜志文章能幫助人們了解新發(fā)展，但即使是最暢銷的科普讀物也只有一小部分人閱讀。但如今科學進步的速度如此之快，一個人離開學?；虼髮W后新的發(fā)展層出不窮。但對我們其余的人來說，對科學概念有個質的認識就已足夠，這可以用文字和圖表來表述，大可不必使用公式。如果不用這個公式的話，也許我能多賣出一倍的書。前不久我寫了一本通俗讀物，當時有人告誡我說，我每使用一個公式就會使銷量減半。更有甚者，科學常常是用公式來教的。但在學校里，科學往往被教得枯燥乏味。但公眾同時也對科學深感興趣，尤其是對天文學，諸如《夜空》之類的電視系列節(jié)目觀眾不少以及科幻小說讀者甚多就是明證。那個在實驗室里設法制造弗蘭肯斯泰因的瘋狂的科學家的卡通人物清楚地體現了公眾的這種懷疑。目前，公眾對科學存有矛盾之心。如果我們承認，我們無法阻止科學技術改變我們的世界，我們至少可以努力確?？萍紟淼淖兓较蛘_。惟一能阻止進一步發(fā)展的辦法或許是一個壓制任何新事物的全球政府，但人類的進取心與創(chuàng)造力如此旺盛，即便這個政府
