Book introduction But what if we make a mistake? Or What if we’re Wrong?
Here we are going to have a general summary and in some places a part of the book, but in some places, I may leave a photo of that moment to get a better sense of the story and see where I am writing this article for you. In general, my goal is to read more and better books, to increase the culture of reading books, and to give each other books as gifts. I do not like books and I am learning to read books and I would like to read more and understand better, I would like you to be with me on this path and know your opinion.
From the very beginning, the cover of the book shows that I am not an easy book, I was made to challenge you (the reader). The title of the book is the opposite. See the photo below
I have not read Chuck Klosterman‘s other books, but this book seems to have become almost the most famous. Before the beginning of the first chapter of the book, it is written that it is beautiful to read that the book wants to take a strange path. This post gives an explanation of the book and an explanation to the reader, but it repeats a concept. Little by little, we realize that the repetition of a series of things may cause them to be hacked into our subconscious.
If you want to know who the author of this strange book is and see him, see the photo below. I think the author has a very strange correlation between the type of writing and the complexity of the story.
From this point on, it may be the subject of a spoiler book, and if you like to read the book and do not want to know the summary, do not read it from now on.
Clusterman talks about time in the story and how fragile the concepts we are so sure of can be in time.
Clusterman almost hits the last arrow before starting the book with this coat and shows what kind of book this book will be.
Clusterman explains that he lived most of his life and made mistakes, or made many mistakes.
See this paragraph, how is he playing with concepts and preparing the reader? 👇
I read about half of the book, and so I can explain it in an instant and put it on my blog, I go back and read it again, and it still tastes weird. Well, I have a cat named Tommy and another named Puma, they are all doing the same, I will put his picture below :))
Puma has escaped, I can not take a picture of him, but let’s not get away from the story :))
Clusterman almost opens the story with his own sense of humor, saying I made a lot of mistakes, but not everything was wrong, sometimes I did the right thing, I married the right person, I never bought life insurance as an investment!
Clusterman explains the opposite, saying that I bet 1 in 100 that Barack Obama would not be president or even a Democratic candidate :)) Or I bet I would never buy a cell phone!
Then he talks about the simplicity of these mistakes. That I know something is wrong, someone even says it’s wrong I may say no, but I’m sure I’m wrong. So in the end it comes down to the fact that these are small potatoes or small potatoes and not big problems and weird facts.
See this text below Chuck Clusterman cleverly paves the way for bigger problems and weirder mistakes
If I’m wrong about something specific, it’s (usually) my own fault, and someone else is (usually, but not totally) right!
You see the constraints he uses, he is preparing us, right and wrong, maybe not zero and one. It is preparing us to look at things from another angle.
The book tells an interesting topic, difficult questions are usually asked by children and children because they are not influenced by collective pressure and public belief!
The book is gradually entering into more difficult concepts, the concept of gravity which has been proven for all of us. The book says that this is the absolute value of the concept for us, and any concept or theory that is somewhat contrary to this issue, we oppose or change it so much that it falls within the framework of this (even unconsciously). The author says our belief in the law of gravity is likely to change dramatically in another 500 years.
The book is generally accepted on the basis of adding a fact and severely destroying that fact. Finally, we realize that nothing is absolute, and practically many absolute concepts can be wrong, but there are many interesting terms for the author, and these terms make the book very interesting.
As I said, the book is a history of our understanding of gravity from the time of Newton and Einstein. He says that maybe gravity is not a fundamental force and it is an emergent force that has a concept of entropy. what does it mean? The book gives a detailed explanation: 👇
Well, Tommy is sleeping and I’m preparing my analysis for you.
Well, let’s go a little deeper on that, what does it mean when I say gravity can be an agent force? This means that the force of gravity can represent other forces and is not a force at all! To better understand the argument, let us turn to Greene’s theory.
Green’s theory is about temperature, our body can feel the heat on hot days. But warmth is not something separate from other forces. This means that heat is a sensation created by the motion of non-fable atoms at high speeds, which ultimately creates a sensation of heat. We feel it, but it’s not really there! Given this concept, if gravity is the agent force, it means that gravity is not the central force that absorbs everything! The opposite is the result of a force that we are currently unable to explain.
Let’s talk about the history of gravity and the concept of gravity. Man has been accepting Aristotle’s theory of the concept of gravity for about 2,000 years. According to Aristotle, all beings are trying to return to their essence or to their natural place. According to Aristotle, the earth is the center of the universe and everything is returning to the earth.
I am reading from here now and I will write the summary for you
Well, as we said, according to Aristotle, stone belongs to the earth, and therefore must return to the earth, and therefore the earth falls.
So can you see the intensity and magnitude of the change in the concept of gravity? The whole world has been thinking about gravity for about 2,000 years, which is about Aristotle’s theory! Consider also that Aristotle is somehow the greatest philosopher that man has ever seen!
Now Newton, the most respected mathematician known to date, sees an apple falling from a tree, and a theory comes to mind that overturns the entire history of mankind in terms of understanding the concept of gravity. Well, consider this. What happened to Newton in the fourteenth century explaining his theory to the people of that time? Newton’s explanations seemed very strange and illogical to the accepted theories of the time. Look at it from the point of view of someone in the 14th century, suppose Newton came and said there was an invisible force that caused the moon to be there!
But we know from the information that humanity did not have a correct understanding of gravity until the twentieth century, and as a result, with these interpretations, we want to pay attention to three basic points:
- If there is a theory or hypothesis that has been true for 2,000 years and has been found to be wrong, then why do we think the theory we have for 350 years now is true?
- Can we say this problem or problem is completely solved? What if Newton’s theory is more or less the final answer to gravity? This means that if this is true, in other words, we are in the last stage of question processing and we have reached the end of the story.
- Which phrase is more logical? I believe there is gravity. Or I’m 99.9% sure there is gravity. Surely the second phrase is safer and more logical, right? But if we want to take into account the slightest possibility of being wrong, we almost lose the possibility of being right in general.
In general, Clusterman is trying to change our view, he also says in many places that I am not sure and correct, and you can criticize me. The first criticism, I think, is the use of strange words to describe, as if this kind of writing shows how deep the book can be and how many layers it can be.
Well, the book is entering the phase of a book called Moby-Dick. I put the photo of that book here for you and me to better understand.
I took these pictures from Amazon and Google and these because I did not know what Moby-Dick is, I will explain about it first so that we can go back to what the book wants to explain.
Well, the book is about a ship that wants to be transported from the largest whale or sperm whale, the book did not sell well at all during the author’s lifetime, and it was a failed book until the death of author Herman Melville in 1891. It wasn’t until Lawrence Kelly described the book in the 20th century that it was a weird and good book summary, and the sales of Daryas and Ina and the book skyrocketed! Well, in short, it seems that the book connects the correct facts about catching a whale and the existence of God and philosophy and these. Now we do not have much to do with this book and we will come back to see what our book says.
This Article will be updated every week.
