内容回忆 参考原文:
A Science plays an increasingly significant role in people’s lives, making the
faithful communication of scientific developments more important than ever. Yet such
communication is fraught with challenges that can easily distort discussions,
leading to unnecessary confusion and misunderstandings. B Some problems stem from
the esoteric nature of current research and the associated difficulty of finding
sufficiently faithful terminology. Abstraction and complexity are not signs that
a given scientific direction is wrong, as some commentators have suggested, but are
instead a tribute to the success of human ingenuity in meeting the increasingly
complex challenges that nature presents. They can, however, make communication more
difficult. But many of the biggest challenges for science reporting arise because
in areas of evolving research, scientists themselves often only partly understand
the full implications of any particular advance or development. Since that dynamic
applies to most of the scientific developments that directly affect people’s lives
global warming, cancer research, diet studies—learning how to overcome it is
critical to spurring a more informed scientific debate among the broader public.
C Ambiguous word choices are the source of some misunderstandings. Scientists
often employ colloquial terminology, which they then assign a specific
meaning that is impossible to fathom without proper training. The term
“relativity,” for example, is intrinsically misleading. Many interpret the
theory to mean that everything is relative and there are no absolutes.
Yet although the measurements any observer makes depend on his
coordinates and reference frame, the physical phenomena he measures
have an invariant description that transcends that observer’s particular
coordinates. Einstein’s theory of relativity is really about finding an
invariant description of physical phenomena. True, Einstein agreed with
the idea that his theory would have been better named
“Invariantentheorie.” But the term “relativity” was already
entrenched at the time for him to change.
D “The uncertainty
principle” is another frequently abused term. It is sometimes
interpreted as a limitation on observers and their ability to make
measurements.
E But it is not about intrinsic limitations on any one
particular measurement; it is about the inability to precisely measure
particular pairs of quantities simultaneously? The first interpretation is
perhaps more engaging from philosophical or political perspective. It’s
just not what the science is about. F Even the word “theory” can be a
problem. Unlike most people, who use the word to describe a passing
conjecture that they often regard as suspect, physicists have very
specific ideas in mind when they talk about theories. For physicists,
theories entail a definite physical framework embodied in asset of
fundamental assumptions about the world that lead to a specific set of
equations and predictions—ones that are borne out by successful
predictions. Theories arena’t necessarily shown to be correct or
complete immediately. Even Einstein took the better part of a decade to
develop the correct version of his theory of general relativity. But
eventually both the ideas and the measurements settle down and
theories are either proven correct, abandoned or absorbed into other,
more encompassing theories. G “Global warming” is another
example
drastic
fluctuations in temperature and rainfall— not necessarily that every place will
be warmer. The name sometimes subverts the debate, since it lets people argue that
their winter was worse, so how could there be global warming? Clearly“global climate
change”would have been a better name. But not all problems stem solely from poor
word choices. Some stem from the intrinsically complex nature of much of modern
science. Science sometimes transcends this limitation: remarkably, chemists were
able to detail the precise chemical processes involved in the destruction of the
ozone layer, making the evidence that chlorofluorocarbon gases (Freon, for example)
were destroying the ozone layer indisputable. H A better understanding of the
mathematical significance of results and less insistence on a simple story would
help to clarify many scientific discussions. For several months, Harvard was
tortured months, Harvard was tortured by empty debates over the relative intrinsic
scientific abilities of men adwomen. One of the more amusing aspects of the

discussion was that those who believed in the differences and those who did’t used
the same evidence about gender-specific special ability. How could that be? The
answer is that the data shows no substantial effects. Social factors might account
for these tiny differences, which in any case have an unclear connection to
scientific ability. Not much of a headline when phrased that way, is it? Each type
of science has its own source of complexity and potential for miscommunication. Yet
there are steps we can take to improve public understanding in all cases. The first
would be to inculcate greater understanding and acceptance of indirect scientific
evidence. The information from an unmanned space mission is noels legitimate than
the information from one in which people are on board. I This does’t mean never
questioning an interpretation, but it also does’mean equating indirect evidence
with blind belief, as people sometimes suggest. Second, we might need different
standards for evaluating science with urgent policy implications than research with
purely theoretical value. When scientists say they are not certain about their
predictions, it does’t necessarily mean they’vet found nothing substantial. It
would be better if scientists were more open about the mathematical significance
of their results and if the public did’t treat math as quite so scary; statistics
and errors, which tell us the uncertainty in a measurement, give us the tools to
evaluate new developments fairly. J But most important, people have to recognize
that science can be complex. If we accept only simple stories, the description will
necessarily be distorted. When advances are subtle or complicated, scientists should
be willing to go the extra distance to give proper explanations and the public should
be more patient about the truth. Even so, some difficulties are unavoidable. Most
developments reflect work in progress, so the story is complex because no one yet
knows the big picture.
