在科学史上,许多人相信存在一种理论可为世界提供一个终极的说明.希格斯玻色子的发现,为人们对标准模型理论为世界提供简单性的终极说明增强了信心.这种对世界体系的简单性信念正是支撑科学家们不断前行的动力.但现代科学却表明无序、不确定性、偶然性、随机性、概率等在现实世界中无处不在.标准模型理论在为世界提供一个简单性的说明之外,并未能将复杂性驱除出科学领域.简单性与复杂性这一对矛盾的共存,将是未来世界的本质特征.
In the history of science, people firmly believe that there is a theory which can provide the world with anultimate explanation. The discovery of the Higgs boson strengthens people’s confidence in Standard Model theorywhich provides a simple description for the world in the ultimate. Such faith in simplicity of the world system is thevery momentum which aspires scientists to go forward. But modern science indicates that there exist disorder,uncertainty, chance, randomness, probability everywhere in the world. Except providing a simple explanation for theworld, Standard Model theory is not yet able to get rid of the complexity from the science. The co-existence of thecontradictory pair of simplicity and complexity is the essential characteristic of the world.
