    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Sometimes, interesting inventory often reveals some practical problems.
    For example, the recent western media inventory 8 pseudo-scientific arguments that seem credible but are actually absurd, but the arguments themselves are not what I want to discuss today.
    What everyone talked about today is the pseudo-scientific argument itself.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    First of all, what is pseudoscience? Pseudoscience refers to those hypotheses or assumptions that have been proved to be wrong in practice, but are still imitated as scientific arguments and promoted.
    Specifically, they can be divided into many situations, but in a broad sense, pseudoscience itself should not be.
    Known by the public as "science".

     

    But in fact, it is precisely because pseudoscience itself has a certain compositional background that makes pseudoscience more convincing than traditional Internet rumors, which also leads to the fact that pseudoscience sounds to people who have not systematically studied knowledge in related fields.
    Very convincing.
    However, from the perspective of social development, the spread of pseudoscience has an inestimable impact on the public’s cognition.
    Therefore, most well-qualified propaganda media and scholars in related fields will do their best to eliminate pseudoscience.
    , To prevent pseudoscience from deceiving the public.

     

    So what should be done? The direct and effective method is to cultivate the scientific consciousness of the masses.
    Science and education have always been two important links in our country, and these two links are not completely independent.
    Science education itself is also a part of education, and it is also the cultivation of human resources for future scientific research.
    But objectively speaking, this education can only spread to the group of students, and the degree of education received by each person is also different.
    In fact, the vast majority of pseudosciences spread slowly from groups with limited educational attainment, and then the three became tigers through misinformation.

     

      Therefore, in order to prevent the spread of pseudoscience, the first step is to spread correct scientific knowledge.
    Just as the Internet has given pseudo-science an effective way to spread it, so scientific knowledge can also be spread in this way.
    But I think that for the public to accept the dissemination of this knowledge, what we have to do is to make the content more interesting, to capture the reader's attention, and to allow the reader to leave a deep reflection.
    Specifically, it can be an interesting popular science video, or it can be a fun short film in the form of "end of rumors.
    "
     

      Another value of doing so is to provide a strong development direction for scientific research.
    Nowadays, many scientific research projects are divorced from the masses or are not highly recognized by the masses.
    Although, objectively speaking, many scientific researches will not affect the progress of their development even if the masses do not understand them, but in today's society, more support means more opportunities.
    For example, if the masses have a certain scientific foundation and understand the benefits of a technology for human development, then when the technology faces some objective problems, such as a shortage of funds, the masses are often more willing to contribute their own efforts.
    Help them, this also helped the continuation of the project to a certain extent.
    In contrast, when pseudoscience can no longer deceive the public, it is not easy for the public to resist scientific research projects because of conspiracy theories.

     

      Going back to the fact that the Western media mentioned at the beginning and counting pseudo-scientific arguments, in fact, from another perspective, this is also through the means of the media to inform the public of the truth about science.
    Objectively speaking, it also belongs to the cultivation of the masses’ scientific awareness.
    means.
