I don’t like this kind of novels that “blur the boundary between history and novels”. It’s tiring to read, and I can’t help but want to check the information to confirm which ones are real and which ones are fictional. But other than that, this book “When We No longer Understand the World” is quite enjoyable to read.

“God does not play dice”, many people may know that Einstein did not recognize the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics proposed by Bohr and Heisenberg, and said this sentence. But Bohr’s response to this, many people know a lot less, he said: “We are not qualified to teach him how to control the world”; Schrödinger conceived the dead and A living “Schrödinger’s cat”, but now we often use it to explain the meaning of the uncertainty principle; how do lemon trees usually die? When it reaches the end of its life cycle, it will bloom full of flower clusters in the spring of this year, and then bear fruit together, so abundant that the branches will be crushed. It’s much like us humans, the book says, grow uncontrollably until we get out of control. Without waiting for the end, we have no way of knowing how long a lemon tree will live.
