刚才做了一道feifei135的题发现Aristotle’s cosmological theory, which claimed that everything was made out of four elements---earth, air, fire, and water。这个和佛教所说的四大:地水火风如出一辙啊~~~人类的智慧啊,撒花撒花~~~(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
附原题: 97. A scientific theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: it must accurately describe a large class of observations in terms of a model that is simple enough to contain only a few elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations. For example, Aristotle’s cosmological theory, which claimed that everything was made out of four elements---earth, air, fire, and water---satisfied the first requirement, but it did not make any definite predictions. Thus, Aristotle’s cosmological theory was not a good theory. If all the statements in the passage are true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT:
A.Prediction about the results of future observations must be made by any good scientific theory
B.Observation of physical phenomena was not a major concern in Aristotle’s cosmological theory.
C.For elements can be the basis of a scientific model that is simple enough to meet the simplicity criterion of a good theory.
D.A scientific model that contains many elements is not a good theory.
E.Aristotle’s cosmological theory described a large class of observations in terms of only four elements.
