  The life of Albert Einstein is a model in many ways for both natural and political scientists.

  First of all, he always employed the scientific method of seeking truth from facts. He firmly believed as he put it, that there is nothing incomprehensible about the universe, and through painstaking work, explained many of the phenomena thought to be incomprehensible in his day. Einstein was also never afraid to admit mistakes when facts proved his theories wrong.

  Second, Einsteins contributions showed the great importance of theoretical work to scientific effort. Although he himself rarely worked in laboratories, the concepts he developed led to many of the scientific advances which have shaped modern technology.

  Third, Einstein believed very deeply that scientists must have a moral and social consciousness. In this way, he provided inspiration for a whole generation of scientists who became active in the Communist movement.

  Einstein is often portrayed in bourgeois writings as a genius whose theories are so complicated that no one but a few best scientists can understand them. But he himself rejected the efforts to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble manner and often stressed to interviewers that his accomplishments would certainly have been achieved by others had he never lived.

  Actually, Einsteins theory of relativity and his other scientific works are not that hard to understand with a little study. But beyond learning Einsteins theories, his overall attitude towards science as a tool to liberate humanity is something from which everyone can and should learn.

  Between now and the end of the century, there will be many exciting developments and also many difficult problems to deal with. Perhaps the most urgent problem is to provide enough food. The worlds population is expected to reach 7,000 million by the year 2000, but already scientists have produced new and better varieties of wheat and rice and animal. They have also been experimenting with techniques of cultivating plants by using mixtures of chemical compounds and water only, and then there will be no need for ordinary soil. Another problem which the world will face is to get rid of refuse (废料). One solution is to burn refuse at very high temperatures in incinerators (焚化炉). A development of this, which may prove very useful in the future, is to use these incinerators to generate steam power. In fact, any new source of energy will be very welcome, as there is already a shortage of petroleum. To solve the energy problem, scientists will probably also try to make more use of solar energy.

  The possible effects of some scientific fields, such as lasers and cryogenics (低温学), are difficult to imagine and both already have a number of uses. The supercooling effects of the cryogenics which convert liquid helium (液态氦) and other gases into superfluids and metals into superconductors, making them non-resistant to electricity, could change the world in a number of ways. The laser, with its beam of strong light, can drill a hole in a diamond, and yet can be so well controlled that it can be used in delicate eye operations. The question is whether it will be most used for peaceful purposes or as a deadly weapon.

  But perhaps the most remarkable developments will occur in space flight. One of the difficulties in the past has been the high cost, but now the space shuttle is being developed, and can be used a large number of times instead of only once. Already man has been to the moon. Perhaps by the end of the century he will have had a close-up view of Venus (金星) or Mars (火星).

  阿伯特爱因斯坦的一生在许多方面,无论是对自然科学家,还是政治科学家,都是一个范例。

  首先,他总是运用从事实中寻求真理的地。正如他所说的,他坚信关于宇宙没有东西是不可知的,并经过艰苦的劳动,了许多在他那个时代被认为是不可知的种种现象。而且,当事实证明他的理论是错误的时候,爱因斯坦也从不害怕承认错误。

  其次,爱因斯坦的贡献说明理论工作对科学成就的巨大的重要性。虽然他自己很少在实验室工作,他所发展的各种概念使科学取得了许多进展,从而形成了现代技术。

  第三,爱因斯坦深信科学家必须具有道德和社会意识。这样,他鼓舞了整个一代的科学家,使他们积极参加共产主义运动。

  爱因斯坦在资产阶级的笔下被描绘为一个天才,他的理论是如此地难于理解,以致只有少数最杰出的科学家才能懂得。但是,他本人不同意别人把他高置于他人之上的那些做法。他的谦逊态度是众所周知的,他常常对来访者强调说,如果没有他的话,别人也肯定能够取得他那样的成就。

  事实上,爱因斯坦的相对论以及他的其他科学论著稍加研究是不难懂得的。但是除了学习爱因斯坦的理论外,他对于利用科学作为一种工具来解放人类的总的态度是每个人能够学习的,而且也是应该学习的。

  从现在到本世纪末,将有许多令人兴奋的发展,同样也有许多困难的问题,需要加以处理。也许最为迫切的问题是提供足够的粮食。到2000年世界人口预期将达到70亿,但是科学家们已经培育出各种小麦、稻谷和牲畜的优良品种。他们还在实验只用化合物和水的混合剂来培植作物的技术,到那里就可不需一般的土壤了。世界将面对着的另一问题是处理废物。有一个解决办法就是在焚化炉中用高温的废物烧掉。这种方法的一个新发展,可能在将来证明极为有用,即是以这些焚火炉来产生蒸汽动力。事实是,任何新的能源都将是非常受欢迎的,因为石油已感不足。要解决能源问题,科学家们也许会高潮更多地利用太阳能。

  诸如激光学和低温学,某些科学领域的可能作用是难以想象的,它们两者已经有若干用途。低温学的过冷作用将液态氦及某些气体变成超流体,将某些金属变成超导体,使它们没有电阻,从而可以在好些方面改变世界面貌。激光,以它强烈的光束,可在金刚石上钻孔,也可以很好地加以控制来进行难做的眼科手术。问题是它将被大量用于和平的目的呢,还是用途致使的武器。

  但最惊人的发展也许将出现在宇宙飞行方面。过去的困难之一在于代价太高。但现在航天飞机正在发展,这种航天飞机可以使用多次而不是仅仅一次而已。人类已经到过月球。也许到本世纪末人类对金星或火星等将有一个精细的观察。
