Stupidity armed with knowledge, mediocrity adorned with respectability. The majority is always right and the minority is always wrong. Let's consult the Commonplace Dictionary to "find the words you must say to be a decent and approachable person in society." "Dictionary of Commonplaces" is a legendary short book by the great French writer Flaubert. It is derived from Flaubert's posthumous comic novel "Bovart and Pécuchet". It has a special form. It presents a dictionary compiled by two scribes after they abandoned their jobs to join the "scientific career". It is both a "work hidden in the novel" and a "work outside the novel". It was edited and published in France more than 30 years after the author's death. The Dictionary of Commonplaces ridicules various prejudices, prejudices, and conclusions of "bourgeois" in the form of entries. It can be called an encyclopedia of human stupidity and ignorance. Flaubert, an innovator ahead of his time, had long wanted to ridicule the world at that time. From today's perspective, it has a bitter irony on human nature. This legendary little book is unique among Flaubert's creations. Studies of Flaubert's works such as "Critical Biography of Flaubert" and "Flaubert's Parrot" have analyzed it. Many writers such as famous contemporary writers Milan Kundera and Alain de Botton have talked about the beauty of this book.

Preston, the author of "Blood Plague", won the American Physical Society Science Writing Award for his first nonfiction work. Explore the light from the edge of the universe and solve the mystery of the origin and evolution of the universe. Recommended article by Yu Heng, associate professor of the Department of Astronomy at Beijing Normal University. First light is a technical term that refers to opening the hood of a new telescope to allow starlight to fall on the mirror and sensor for the first time. "First Light" is also a non-fiction work that tells the story of how astronomers search for light from the edge of the universe. Two hundred million years after the Big Bang, the first generation of stars in the universe was born, which is the edge of our observable universe. Those first lights can help us decipher the mysteries of the universe's origin and evolution. The core of the story is the 5-meter-diameter Haier telescope, commonly known as the "Big Eye." A century ago, the design and construction of the "Big Eye" started the legend of the Palomar Observatory and profoundly influenced the development of astronomy in the second half of the 20th century. First Light stars James Gunn, considered by many professionals to be the finest astronomer of our time. Since the 1990s, Gunn has launched the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, using a 2.5-Meter telescope to scan the northern hemisphere starry sky with the goal of drawing a color three-dimensional electronic map of the universe. Under his leadership, this became the most successful sky survey program in history and continues to this day. The project captured hundreds of millions of images of celestial objects and the spectra of millions of celestial objects and made them available to the world. This directly changed the way astronomers work, and astronomy has since entered the era of big data.
