[贺信] 现代史上一件史诗级的事件

文（中文翻译）：余燊[shēn]教授，男，纽约科学院院士，北京前沿科学研究所理事、宇宙学和引力中心主任，意大利国际宇宙学和引力中心主讲教授。
感谢你的回复。这是我第一次从整体上俯瞰你的《时代跃迁》出版物！它是现代史上一件史诗级的事件！
这是一部跨学科的出版物，几乎涵盖了整个人类知识。多么雄心勃勃的事业！
西方宇宙学将宇宙视为一种无机的物质对象，由置身其外的人类去研究。在最理想的情况下，它也仅仅是一种理性的认知。
由于从极微观到极宏观的连续过渡，量子理论与爱因斯坦的广义相对论之间出现了不可避免的交互。因此，最近获得诺贝尔物理学奖的罗杰·彭罗斯推测，当一个人去世时，灵魂必须像量子波函数一样融入宇宙。我怀疑他一定读过《道德经》。
然而，因为这样的观点，他被主流科学界视为异类或局外人。
而我认为，道是终极的存在，是宇宙的本源。如果道家的思想能够用数学语言表达，那会更好，因为西方宇宙学是完全数学化的。这是因为数学化的宇宙学作为物质科学具有重要的价值。
如果宇宙的起源是“太极”，那么它一定同时包含阴与阳：物质与精神。
西方宇宙学中隐约有阴的影子，而道则同时容纳了阴与阳。
这正是道家宇宙学的切入点所在。
抱歉我说得太多了。但我必须再次祝贺你，祝贺你这个最具雄心的项目——《时代跃迁》月刊。

[Congratulations] An Epic Event in Modern
History
by Professor Yu (Professor Shen Yu, Fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences;
Board Member of the Beijing Institute of Frontier Science and Director of its
Center for Cosmology and Gravitation; and Distinguished Professor at the
International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics (ICRA) in Italy.)
Thank you so much for your reply and it's a first time I have a bird's eye view
of your Epochal publication! It is an epic event in modern history!
It is an interdisciplinary publication embracing almost all human knowledge.
What an ambitious undertaking!
The Western Cosmology regards the Universe as an inorganic material object to be
studied by humans who stand outside it. At best it is an intellectual
perception.
Because of the continuous transition from the very small to the very large,
there's an inevitable interaction between Quantum theory and Einstein's General
Relativity. As a consequence, Roger Penrose, a recent Nobel Prize winner for
Physics, speculated that when a man dies, his soul must melt into the Universe
like a Quantum wave function. I suspect that he might have read the Dao DE Jing.
Nevertheless, because of this view, he has been regarded by the mainstream
scientist as a maverick or outsider.
Whilst I think Dao is the ultimate existence and the origin of the universe, it
would be good if Daoism could be expressed in Mathematical language since
Western Cosmology is all mathematical. That is because that mathematical
Cosmology has value as a material Science.
If the origin of the universe is the Taichi, say, then it must contain within
itself Ying and Yang: Matter and Spirt.
The Western Cosmology has the shadow of the Ying and Dao contains both.
That's where Daoist Cosmology comes in.
Sorry I have been going on for too long. But I must congratulate you once again
for your most ambitious project, the Epochal Monthly.

V. Sabata, the Director of the Center. Among the group are two professors who
would later be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Also present were Peter G.
Bergmann, a close collaborator of Einstein, and other world-renowned scientists.
On October 12, 2024, Professor Shen Yu was
invited to attend International Taiji Day,
where he delivered a keynote speech and followed it with an impromptu Taiji
performance.
