Designed for students, graduate students and university professors. Useful for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of modern natural science.

The course "Concepts of Modern Natural Science" is a synthesis of the wisdom of ancient civilizations, the achievements of natural and human sciences, paves the way for an understanding of nature, man and society. It covers a wide range of issues and is fundamental, fundamental to everything modern education.
One of the main goals of the manual is to involve the reader in the creative process of self-knowledge, to show that without the involvement of science it is impossible to understand one's purpose on Earth, but at the same time there are still many unknown and not subject to science phenomena. The course is structured in such a way that its study was creative, shaping views of the world. Moreover, it perfectly meets the traditions of Russian education with its school of fundamentality and breadth of approach to explaining the essence of things.

10 10 FOREWORD The course "Concepts of Modern Natural Science" is a synthesis of the wisdom of ancient civilizations, the achievements of natural and humanitarian sciences, paves the way for understanding nature, man and society. It covers a wide range of issues and is fundamental, fundamental for all modern education. The emergence of the course "Concepts of Modern Natural Science" is due to the problems that arose before mankind by the beginning of the third millennium. Many specific questions of a particular profession are answered by special sciences, but they do not answer global questions: how is the world around us in general arranged? what fundamental laws does nature obey? what are Life, Mind, Man and where is his place in the Universe? This is largely determined by the formation of this type of thinking and methods of cognition, which make it possible to reveal the fundamental laws and universal principles that govern the processes in the surrounding world. Achievements of natural sciences, and first of all physics, correspond to them. However, now it is becoming more and more obvious that a holistic perception and explanation of the world only on the basis of the natural-scientific method of cognition is not enough, it requires a humanitarian approach. On the other hand, it is important to include the concepts, concepts and methodology of the natural sciences in humanitarian education as a component of human culture, to show why the humanities need physics, to assert in the public consciousness the need for natural education, including it in the system modern culture... One of the main goals of the manual is to involve the reader in the creative process of self-knowledge, to show that without the involvement of science it is impossible to understand one's purpose on Earth, but at the same time there are still many unknown phenomena that are not subject to science. The course is structured in such a way that its study was creative, shaping views of the world. Moreover, it perfectly meets the traditions of Russian education with its school of fundamentality and breadth of approach to explaining the essence of things. On the other hand, it is quite natural that it is impossible to grasp the immensity and sufficiently fully and equally illuminate all scientific approaches and concepts. Despite a certain selection of material and an attempt to build a paradigm of the modern natural-scientific picture of the world, many interesting questions in the proposed tutorial did not find their development. To a certain extent, this was done deliberately: in the author's opinion, there should be more questions in such a course than answers. This course is divided into two parts. The first part gives an idea of ​​the physical principles of explaining nature from the standpoint of modern (including post-nonclassical) physics. Following the terminology of I. Prigogine, this is the physics of the necessary, or existing. It considers the general fundamental principles of the motion of material bodies within the framework of classical, quantum and relativistic mechanics, the relationship between space and time, the foundations of the theory of relativity, the physics of the Universe and modern ideas about the structure of matter, methods of discrete and probabilistic description of nature, the use of synergetic concepts to explain the behavior of complex systems and the role of symmetry-asymmetry in various physical manifestations. The evolution of ideas about nature from a mechanical picture of the world through electromagnetic and field to modern natural science is given. The second part deals with the issues of physical understanding of the principles of biology, reproduction and development of living systems, physical factors of the influence of the Cosmos on earthly processes, the role of internal and external physical fields in the evolution of living organisms. These problems relate to the physics of the emerging and are related to the problems of the physics of the living. Synergetic representations of self-organization in economics are considered as an example of the use of physical models in humanitarian applications. Each chapter ends with self-assessment checklists and a bibliography. A list of questions that can be used for a test or an exam is given, topics of essays have been developed with reference to the necessary literature.

11 The vocabulary of terms used in modern natural science is very useful for students. The manual is written in living language, contains original examples that allow a deeper understanding of the problems of modern natural science. It is of undoubted interest for humanities students and curious readers. The methodological goal of such a course is to provide students with an understanding of a holistic picture of the World within the framework of natural science and humanitarian paradigms, their understanding of the role of man in uniting three interconnected subsystems of his habitation, natural, artificial (technosphere) and social environments. The course "Concepts of Modern Natural Science" complies with the State Educational Standard and the program for humanitarian specialties of universities. It is intended for students, graduate students and teachers of these specialties and is useful for readers interested in the problems of modern natural science.

12 12 Part I. PHYSICAL BASIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE MATERIAL WORLD Alles war gesagt, doch alles beibt zu sagen. (Everything has been said, all that remains is to say everything.) I. Goethe Two things fill my soul with ever new and growing admiration and blessing as you think deeper and deeper: the starry sky above me and the moral law in me. I. Kant Chapter 1. GENERAL CONCEPTS OF NATURE The term "natural science" in its semantic sense means "nature" (nature) and knowledge about it. Sometimes they use the less common phrase "natural history", which comes from the common Slavic word "Veda" or "Veda" knowledge. We still sometimes say "know" in the sense of knowing. However, at present, natural science, especially modern, is understood primarily as exact natural science, reflecting the general laws of nature formulated in a mathematical form, of all processes occurring in the micro- and macrocosm. And natural science, like social science, science of science or environmental engineering, is usually associated with amorphous ideas about the subject of their own, private "knowledge". Quite a long time ago, the Latin term natura nature, widespread in European countries (for example, in Germany, Sweden and Holland), entered the Russian language as a synonym for the word "nature". On its basis, the corresponding term "Naturwissenschaft" was formed, i.e. literally the science of nature, or natural science. It is combined with another definition of the subject of the study of nature "natural philosophy" (philosophy of nature). 5 Problems of origin, structure, organization of nature, everything that is in the Universe (Cosmos), i.e. in essence, all problems of natural science, cosmology and cosmogony were originally related to "physics". In any case, Aristotle (years BC) called his predecessors and contemporaries who dealt with these problems "physicists" or "physiologists", for the ancient Greek word "fizis", or "fuzis", is very close in Russian to the word "nature". Modern natural science affects not only natural-scientific problems proper, but also humanitarian ones, because it examines scientific methods and ways of human cognition of nature. The study of these paths is also the subject of philosophy as a science of thinking and cognition, sociology as a science of the development of human society, psychology as a science of human intelligence and biology as a science of living things. Therefore, natural science is, to a certain extent, the basis of all knowledge, both natural science, technical and humanitarian. In general, modern natural science as a scientific worldview paradigm is based on physical concepts. This is determined by the fact that, possessing a scientific method and formulating ideas about nature at a quantitative level in the form of fundamental laws and principles, physics has created a basis for explaining the real physical world. At the same time, after R. Descartes () rejected attempts to cognize the spiritual life of man scientific methods, physics later began to lose its positions, faced with those unknown and unexplained phenomena that do not fit into the framework of only physical concepts. Currently, we understand that at the fundamental level, nature is one, the boundaries in it are very conditional and the various sciences that study it only reflect the consistent approach of the collective mind of mankind to the truth of our ideas about the world. In addition, just as it is impossible to comprehend the laws governing human life and activities through acquaintance only with the anatomy of its individual organs, so it is impossible, studying separately individual natural sciences, to cognize nature as a whole. Therefore, modern natural science as a set of many sciences about the world is itself a generalized integrative integral 6

13 noah science. The concept of modern natural science should be created on a holistic basis of the relationship between natural and humanitarian cultures, an unbiased objective view of the environment and inner world person. As the Austrian physicist E. Schrödinger () noted, "all natural sciences are associated with universal human culture," and the American physicist I. Rabi () also emphasized that "physics is the core of the humanities education of our time." The word "concept" means a certain way of understanding, the interpretation of an object, phenomenon, process, the main point of view on these essences, a guiding idea for their systematic presentation and illumination. On the other hand, a concept is a system of associations and concepts that is formed in the process of the development of our consciousness. The very acquisition and construction of the concept is also the development of consciousness. As academician Η. Η. Moiseev (), there is a situation when the Reason knows itself. As a result of the construction of the concept of modern natural science, a scientific picture of the world or a scientific paradigm is created. By it the author understands an integral system of scientific views on the general laws of development of nature, society and living things, which arises as a result of not only synthesis and generalization of natural scientific concepts, concepts and terms, but also understanding and description on the basis of modern physical models of origin and development in the whole of life, its specific manifestations in living nature, as well as the essence of the socio-economic, including historical, development of society. This should include philosophy, which has always performed in relation to science the function of the methodology of cognition and which Aristotle defined as the doctrine of primary causes, first principles, the most general principles of being. Currently, successful attempts are being made to describe such categories as morality, ethics, conscience, and other spiritual and aesthetic values ​​through the concepts of exact science. Note that a physical model is created essentially for the same reason why an architect constructs a model of a group of buildings: to visually represent the relationship and proportionality between buildings, free spaces between them and the aisles or streets that connect them. In physics, they usually strive to make a mathematical model in order to describe the phenomena, the process 7 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky 13 The great Russian scientist encyclopedist V. I. Vernadsky () studied the issues of origin and development chemical elements on Earth and in Space, the reasons for the origin of "living matter", the interaction of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and noosphere of the Earth and their connection with the Cosmos. In his works, in essence, the foundations of modern natural science are laid. VI Vernadsky was born in St. Petersburg in 1863, in the family of a professor of political economy, a typical representative of the Russian liberal intelligentsia of the last century. Vladimir Ivanovich received an excellent education in a classical gymnasium and then graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of St. Petersburg University. He was greatly influenced by the well-known Russian soil scientist V.V.Dokuchaev (), who taught a course in mineralogy at this university. Vernadsky knew 15 languages, was interested in history, philosophy, global problems of the human

14 society. In 1897, Vernadsky defended his doctoral dissertation and became a professor at Moscow University. In 1906 he was elected a member of the State Council from Moscow University. On the initiative of V. I. Vernadsky and under his chairmanship in 1915, a commission was created to study the natural productive forces of Russia at the Academy of Sciences. At the end of 1921, Vernadsky founded the Radium Institute in Moscow and was appointed its director. In 1926 his famous work "Biosphere" was published. He conducted research on natural waters, the circulation of substances and gases of the Earth, cosmic dust, problems of time and space. But the main theme for him remains the theme of the biosphere of the area of ​​life and the geochemical activity of living matter. For Vernadsky, science was a means of cognizing nature. He was not an expert in any one science, or even in several sciences. He brilliantly knew a dozen sciences, but he studied nature, which is immeasurably more complex than all individual sciences. Like many natural scientists who have achieved outstanding success in special fields, Vernadsky came to his philosophical conclusions in his declining years, seeing in them a natural generalization of the fundamental principles underlying the universe. But even among the luminaries of natural science, he stands out for innovation, breadth of views, depth of ideas and their amazing modernity. VI Vernadsky is the founder of geochemistry, biogeochemistry, radiochemistry. As a professor at Moscow University in 2000-2002, he resigned in protest against the oppression of students. In 1919 he was the first president of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. or an object in quantitative language. To create a physical model, three initial positions are used: all natural phenomena (and now, within the framework of synergetic representations of complex open systems, these include the processes and organization of socio-economic and living systems) can be explained by physical laws expressed in mathematical form; these physical laws are universal and do not depend on time and space; all basic laws should be simple. Many humanitarians and people who are even more far from science believe that their life has nothing to do with abstract mathematical theories and fundamental physical laws, and if mathematics is needed, then only then, 8 to count money. In reality, the fundamental mathematical and physical ideas, the dominant physical and mathematical paradigms (including the synergetic one) leave their mark on the thinking style of scientists, representatives of not only natural, but also the humanities, and on the everyday thinking of all people without exception. They penetrate into the language as speech turns, into logic, psychology, politics, into moral ideas and values, into ethics and aesthetics. At all times, man strives to live and act in accordance with his inner nature and, if possible, in harmony with external Nature, by which we mean what we know about her and can express in terms and symbols of modern science. It is one of the tasks of modern natural science to teach a person to navigate correctly (“scientifically”) in the real world, to realize his place in it. In addition, according to I. R. Prigogine (b. 1917), “natural science is a dialogue with nature. And as it should be in real dialogue, the answers are often unexpected, and sometimes just amazing. " Therefore, modern natural science is not just interdisciplinary training course, but the real science of knowing the world, life and man. Man is an essential object of nature with cosmological significance. Yet ancient greek philosopher Protagoras (5th century BC) began one of his works ("On Nature") with the words: "Man is the measure of all things existing and non-existent." This prophetic saying of Protagoras anticipated the so-called anthropic principle, which was first deliberately introduced into the foundations of cosmology and analyzed in detail already in 14

15 our time. Having corrected the well-known Protagoras dictum in his own way, VI Vernadsky, as it were, anticipated, following Protagoras himself, the anthropic cosmological principle: "A thinking man is the measure of everything." V. I. Vernadsky was fully aware of the vital necessity of a philosophical worldview and the fundamental significance of the metaphysical principles of natural science, about which he wrote back in 1902: "In the history of the development of scientific thought, one can clearly and accurately trace the importance of philosophy as the roots and life atmosphere of scientific research." ... And in his other work, he noted: “In our time, the framework of a separate science, into which scientific knowledge, cannot accurately determine the area of ​​scientific thought of the researcher, accurately characterize it scientific work... The problems that occupy him more and more often do not fit into the framework of a separate, definite, established science. We specialize not in sciences, but in problems. " At the same time, V.I.Vernadsky considered it essential and possible to strive for the most complete coverage of natural phenomena and nature itself as a whole. At the same time, the differentiation of special sciences continues, and now there are already up to 500 natural and 300 humanities. According to V.I. Vernadsky, the provisions of these sciences should be reflected conceptually just in modern natural science. The well-known philosopher, an expert in the field of logic K. Popper () in his book "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" wrote: "There is at least one philosophical problem in which all thinking humanity is interested. This is the problem of cosmology, the problem of understanding the world, including ourselves, and our knowledge as part of the world. " Let us consider, within the framework of modern scientific concepts, how this problem was specifically solved and how a scientific picture of the world is created. Stages of development and formation of natural science If you want to know nature and appreciate its beauty, then you need to understand its language in which it speaks. It gives information only in one form, and we have no right to demand from it. so she changes her language to get our attention. Ρ. Feynman Training rarely bears fruit for anyone other than those. who are predisposed to this, but they almost do not need it. Gibbons' statement cited by R. Feyman in his lectures on physics The science of nature originated in Ancient Greece more than 2500 years ago as a unified natural philosophy. The natural basis for its emergence and development was the observation of inquisitive people over the world around them. From these observations, conclusions and generalizations were made and theories were constructed. Since in the initial period of the formation of a unified science there were no measurements, but only observations and reasoning, the first observers clothed their conclusions in certain philosophical categories. All natural-scientific knowledge and ideas about nature at that time were not divided into separate areas of knowledge and thus constituted a single science, the basis of which was logical reasoning and inferences about what was observed. This is where the name natural philosophy comes from, that is, wise reasoning about nature (nature is nature, philosophy is love for wisdom). These theoretical concepts were naive and often wrong. But along with the accumulation of knowledge, they were analyzed and many ideas were formed in the form of prophetic guesses, which are now being confirmed in the modern natural-scientific picture of the world. One has to be surprised at the genius of the guesses of the Greek philosophers, given the level of development of science at that time. Thus, the founder of the Ionian philosophical school Thales (BC) 11 taught that the stars are composed of the same substance as the Earth. Anaximander (BC) argued that worlds arise and collapse. In the materialistic philosophical school of Epicurus (BC), they taught the plurality of inhabited worlds, and they considered these worlds to be similar to our Earth. For example, the Epicurean Metrodorus argued that “to consider the Earth as the only inhabited world in infinite space would be just as blatant absurdity as to assert that 15

16 only one ear of wheat. " Representatives of the natural philosophy of Ancient Greece are considered the first naturalists in understanding the unity of the world as a whole. In ancient natural science, the idea of ​​the material fundamental principle of all things and eternal motion was strengthened. As the fundamental principle of what the world and everything that exists, it was proposed: fire, water, air and a certain beginning "aiperon". So, Heraclitus of Ephesus (5th century BC), who considered fire to be the beginning of everything in the world, formulated the idea of ​​the unity of the world and its mutability ("everything flows, everything changes, nothing is eternal, except for change") ... The idea of ​​the continuity of motion ("the world is one, was, is and will be forever new") as a whole is in good agreement with modern ideas about moving matter Plato's program In the development of ancient Greek natural science, three scientific programs can be distinguished: the idealistic Plato (BC) and two materialistic Aristotle and Democritus (BC). Plato's scientific program can be called mathematical, since in the sense of understanding the role of quantitative calculations in the scientific study of the world, it largely determined the path of development of natural science. It is based on the idea of ​​Pythagoras (VI century BC) that "numbers are the essence of things." Plato argued that "God is a geometer." Despite the fact that Plato recognized the material world as consisting of four substances: fire, air, water and earth, he attributed to the particles of which they are composed, a different geometric shape in the form of polyhedrons: for fire, tetra - 12 hedrons, for air, octahedrons, for water icosahedrons, cubes for the earth, that is, he introduced abstract topological concepts. This was due to the idealistic ideas of Plato that the material world of being is only a reflection of the world of man's ideas, his ideas, and not really existing matter. Therefore, mathematical constructions and numerical abstractions of the program of Pythagoras Plato were assigned an almost mystical role, which is manifested up to the present time in religious canons, astrology and magic, and in science in some "mysterious" mathematical numbers: 3,; 1/137; 1, etc., the meaning of which (why they are exactly like that) is still not clear. In this program, the idea was also put forward of the rotation of all celestial bodies, including the Sun, in spheres around a central fire. It arose from observations of the starry sky and periodic changes of day, night, winter, summer and reflected the then existing ideas about the world. Note that in the III century. BC. Aristarchus of Samos (IV III c. BC) proposed the idea of ​​the heliocentric structure of the universe and the movement of all celestial bodies around the sun. This idea was revived by N. Copernicus () later, in the Middle Ages. Representations of Aristotle A common feature of the continual program of Aristotle and the atomistic Democritus is their materialism. According to the continuous approach, the entire material world consists of a continuous substance in constant motion. All objects of nature ("existing things") do not arise or are destroyed, but exist eternally and appear in various forms of this substance, transforming from one form to another. This essentially physical program of Anaxagoras Aristotle is also consonant with modern ideas about the forms of existence and movement of matter also because it assumed the presence of all "things" in each object ("everything is in everything" or "everything is a part of everything"). In modern scientific language, this is the structure of matter from elementary particles. Aristotle believed that the world is a rotating Cosmos and its movement began in some small 13 volume of space from the initial impulse, and this is in good agreement with one of the modern theories of the origin of the Big Bang Universe and the expanding Universe. The Cosmos itself is a kind of limited sphere, in the center of which the Earth is located. Space and time exist only within this Cosmos and are filled with "primary matter". Primary matter under the influence of a combination of "primary forces" of hot, cold, dry and wet passes into one of 16

17 four "elements": fire, air, water and earth. Elements, in turn, can both pass from one to another, and enter into various compounds and form "substances": stones, metals, meat, blood, clay, wool, etc. And as a logical result, bodies are created from substances. Aristotle also introduced the concept of natural and violent body movements. For terrestrial bodies, it is natural to move either down ("heavy" bodies) or up ("light" bodies), and it was believed that the cause of natural movements is inherent in their nature. For celestial bodies, their circular motion around the Earth as the center of the Cosmos was assumed to be natural. The violent movement was explained by the action of forces on the body, and it ceased if the force ceased to act. The concepts of natural and violent forces and the movements caused by them flowed from everyday practice and observations of the movement of bodies in real life and were adopted in science until the 18th century. By this time, the concept of force as the cause of motion had become the basis of Galileo Newton's classical mechanics. Note that it was Aristotle who first introduced the term "physics" to denote the doctrine of nature. Therefore, from a formal point of view, Aristotle is the first physicist, although Anaxagoras with his idea of ​​moving matter and Pythagoras can be attributed to the first physicists, since he was the first to study and describe the appearance of different sounds depending on the length of the string. Aristotle wrote 61 books, and in the history of science right up to our time, probably not a single figure can be found equal to Aristotle in the breadth of coverage of the fields of knowledge studied by him, the level of novelty and depth of research in each of these areas and the degree of influence on the subsequent development of scientific thoughts. He is rightfully considered an antique classic and not only natural science. Let's not forget that Aristotle was also the teacher of the outstanding commander Alexander the Great (BC) Democritus Model the whole material world. Atoms move in emptiness and are diverse in shape, when they collide, they interlock and form bodies, and the variety of bodies was explained by the difference in atoms. You can see here a naive, but generally correct from the point of view of modern science, view of the world. In this atomistic world there was a place for the Gods. They were also made of atoms, but inaccessible to the human senses. Naturally, the Gods were assigned a higher mind, which controls the whole world. This atomistic program was characterized by rigid determinism, which was subsequently preserved in the mechanics of Galileo Newton, i.e. any movement of matter was assumed to be necessary, due to some reason. Randomness was completely excluded from the picture of the world. It was considered subjective and was explained by the lack of human knowledge. At the same time, Epicurus, a follower of Democritus, suggested the existence of objective chance. The atomic theory, like the earlier one, was supplanted by the continual one. Her rehabilitation began only in the 17th century. Note also that back in the 1st century. BC. Lucretius Carus (99 55 BC) in his book "On the nature of things", dedicated to Epicurus, poetic form set forth many ideas of the materialism of the world, the connection between space, time and matter, the discreteness of matter and the relativity of motion. In conclusion of a brief consideration of the stages of development of ancient natural science, we note that in the poem of Lucretius Kara, in addition to natural scientific issues, general humanitarian problems of life, death, spirituality, ethics and morality were considered, and the main thing in this attempt to understand the world around us was the integrity of perception, the idea that the world is one ; and the description of its structure was based precisely on such a holistic, as they say now, approach. Further development of the understanding of the world during the transition to a quantitative description of the processes of motion of matter proceeded through mechanistic ideas about nature. This was associated with the name of G. Galileo (), who combined physics and mathematics, introduced the concepts of inertia, frame of reference, acceleration as the cause of motion, the principle of relativity and a number of other parameters of motion

18 1.2. Problems of natural science on the way of knowing the world What you do not understand does not belong to you. I. Goethe Not what you think, nature Not a cast, not a soulless face, It has a soul, it has freedom, It has love, it has a language. F. Tyutchev The explanation of natural phenomena from the point of view of physics and its various applications in technology is based on some fundamental physical concepts and principles. The most general, important, fundamental principles or concepts of the physical description of nature include matter, motion, space and time. Revealing their content, let us note, first of all, the structure of matter, i.e. what the world around us consists of, including ourselves. This is the theory of elementary particles in its modern representation and the movement of matter in the broad sense of the word, as well as the interaction of particles and fields with each other. Other fundamental principles include the following concepts: conservation laws, symmetry, asymmetry, order, disorder, discreteness, continuity, probabilistic, i.e. statistical approach to describing phenomena. Classical physics gave an almost universal recipe for describing and understanding simple motion and explained the action and construction of technical mechanisms and machines based on the ideas of Galileo Newton. But this applied precisely to mechanical movement, and not to changes in general, for example, in a living organism. Physical rationalism. The idea was formed (and for a long time about 200 years!) that classic mechanics as part of physics can explain all possible phenomena in nature. This view led to the emergence in the XVIII century. rational scientific approach, logically and correctly describing, as it seemed, the world around. This position glorified physics as a science, and allowed Rutherford to later jokingly say: "All sciences are divided into two groups: physics and stamp collecting." 16 On the basis of a rational scientific approach, “physicalism” arose, a general scientific paradigm that explains any processes in animate and inanimate nature, society, society as a whole by analogy and in accordance with the physical principles developed in classical mechanics. It is known that the French diplomat Talleyrand () used the mechanics D "Alambert (), believing that on its basis he would be able to logically and undeniably convince his colleagues that he was right. Another example, which has become classic: when Napoleon got acquainted with the cosmological theory of Laplace (), the classic of that mechanics, then noticed to the author that there is no place for God in this mechanics. To which Laplace replied: "Sire, je n" avais pas besoin de cette hypothese "(" My emperor, I did not need this hypothesis "). The French utopian thinkers C. Saint-Simon () and C. Fourier () applied the ideas of mechanics to use them in social sciences... In essence, it was an attempt to reduce the natural science of that time to the sum of the then known physical laws. The philosophical basis of this approach, leading to a strict determinism of cause-and-effect relationships, including in quantitative values, was the fundamental distinction between the world and man, introduced by R. Descartes. As a consequence of this distinction, confidence arose in the possibility of an objective description of the world, devoid of references to the personality of the observer, and science saw its ideal and purpose in such an objective description of the world. Of course, now we understand that this is not true: classical mechanics works only within certain limits, at speeds of propagation of interaction, less than the speed of light, and masses, greater than a gram. Another, humanitarian approach to explaining the world on the basis of anthropocentrism is also incorrect, according to which objects of inanimate nature, plants, animals and even gods in ancient times were likened to humans. Subsequently, it turned out that this rather naive approach is closer and more understandable to man, and in modern natural science it has been revived in the form of an anthropic principle. eighteen
