霍金亲自设计“庄周梦蝶”模型：真实和梦幻的迷思 -

IT资讯讯 8月9日消息，著名物理学家霍金今天在微博上分享了由其参与设计的中国道家老庄学派的千古迷思“庄周梦蝶”模型，目前这个模型被放在伦敦圣保罗大教堂前展览。
在霍金的个人微博@史蒂芬霍金_StephenHawking 上，展示了几张“庄周梦蝶”的模型的照片，这个模型最外面是体积较大的透明玻璃容器，样子有点像古人用的酒坛。玻璃容器里面，是用不知道什么材料做成的仰面而望的人头框架模型，模型里面，可以清楚看到有一只蝴蝶。
这个模型的寓意是什么呢？霍金在微博中进行了简单的解释：“在此与大家交流和学习中国文化，已经成了我日常的灵感泉源。所以，当英国救助儿童会邀请我参与设计我的”梦想瓶”活动时，我以“周庄梦蝶”为灵感设计了我的梦想瓶。这个“梦蝶”梦想瓶被放在了伦敦圣保罗大教堂前展览。我梦到了宇宙。今天，你梦到了什么？- SH”。
而在此前，霍金也曾对“庄周梦蝶”做出自己的理解：“庄周梦蝶——也许是因为他是个热爱自由的人。换做我的话，我也许会梦到宇宙，然后困惑是否宇宙也梦到了我。来回答你的问题：“我们如何知道我们是生活在梦里还是真实存在？”——well,我们不知道，也许也无法知道！这个问题至少要等到我们开始深刻地了解意识和宇宙时才可知。我们必须要孜孜不倦地探索关于存在的基本命题，只有这样，我们也许才会知道蝴蝶（或宇宙）是真实存在，还是只存在于我们的梦里。”
资料显示，“庄周梦蝶”典出《庄子·齐物论》，它是战国时期道家学派主要代表人物庄子所提出的一个的哲学命题。在其中，庄子运用浪漫的想象力和美妙的文笔，通过对梦中变化为蝴蝶和梦醒后蝴蝶复化为己的事件的描述与探讨，提出了人不可能确切的区分真实与虚幻和生死物化的观点。
