Wisdom and Next
Is there anything higher than wisdom? If yes, what is the process of going from wisdom to there?
Dying. (This can be trivial. When you age to a certain extent, you die.)
Then what is Next?
How can I know? I have not died yet!

2.2 Dispersion
2.2.1 Why is there dispersion

2.3 Statistics
2.3.1 What is statistics
Data Statistics Information Studying Knowledge Aging Wisdom Dying Next What is Next
Data and Information
First, differentiate data and information: Data is raw. Data have no meaning. Information is processed data. Information has meaning. The process to transform data to information is statistics.
Information and Knowledge
Information is at higher level than data.
What is higher than information?
Knowledge.
What is the process of transforming information to knowledge?
Studying. (or AI for computers)
If you want a lot of mathematics information, just buy 50 maths books, then you get a lot of information. But if you want a lot of mathematics knowledge, you have a lot of hard work to do.
Knowledge and Wisdom
After knowledge, what is next? Wisdom.
What is the process of transforming knowledge to wisdom?
Aging.
If you want to have a lot of knowledge, buy a lots of books, read them and read them well. But if you want to have a lot of wisdom, you need to live your life for a long time or a long long time.
Wisdom and Next
Is there anything higher than wisdom?
If yes, what is the process to go from wisdom to there?
Dying. (This can be trivial. When you age to a certain extent, you die.)

痛苦
唯有經過地獄的磨難，才有創造天堂的力量。
在極端痛苦中，一個靈魂為了承受這份痛苦，將會發出嶄新的生命光輝。就是這股潛力，在新生命力的發揮，使人們遠離在極端痛苦時，燃起的自殺念頭，讓他得以繼續活下去。他的心境將別於健康的人。他鄙視世人所認同的價值觀，從而發揮昔日所未曾有過的，最高貴的愛與情操，這種心境是曾體驗過，地獄烈火般痛苦的人所獨有的。

Chemical physics is a subdiscipline of physics that investigates physicochemical phenomena using techniques from atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics; it is the branch of physics that studies chemical processes from the point of view of physics. While at the interface of physics and chemistry, chemical physics is distinct from physical chemistry in that it focuses more on the characteristic elements and theories of physics. Meanwhile, physical chemistry studies the physical nature of chemistry. Nonetheless, the distinction between the two fields is vague, and workers often practice in each field during the course of their research.

2.1.1 Mathematical Physics and Theoretical Physics
.
The term ‘mathematical’ physics is also sometimes used in a special sense, to distinguish research aimed at studying and solving problems inspired by physics within a mathematically rigorous framework.
Mathematical physics in this sense covers a very broad area of topics with the common feature that they blend pure mathematics and physics. Although related to theoretical physics, ‘mathematical’ physics in this sense emphasizes the mathematical rigour of the same type as found in mathematics.
On the other hand, theoretical physics emphasizes the links to observations and experimental physics which often requires theoretical physicists (and mathematical physicists in the more general sense) to use heuristic, intuitive, and approximate arguments. Such arguments are not considered rigorous by mathematicians.
Arguably, rigorous mathematical physics is closer to mathematics, and theoretical physics is closer to physics.

The accident left him without hands and mostly deaf and blind when he was 19.
Heim had to undergo a series of operations after the explosion which resulted in the loss of his arms. He found that intense concentration on the study of Einstein’s relativity theory helped him control the pain in his arms mentally and physically.

Palmer Joss: By doing this, you’re willing to give your life, you’re willing to die for it. Why?
Ellie Arroway: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been searching for something, some reason why we’re here. What are we doing here? Who are we? If this is a chance to find out even just a little part of that answer… I don’t know, I think it’s worth a human life. Don’t you?

As long as you can realize the difference between analytic statements and synthetic statements, you can know what pure mathematics is.
Pure Mathematics is a system of useful analytic statements.[10]
Pure Mathematics is a system of useful tautologies, whether obvious or unobvious.
In Physics, every generation of physicists have to update the previous theories. For example, Einstein’s theory of gravity has updated Newton’s, explaining what Newton’s gravitation could not explain. But for Pure Maths, although every generation of mathematicians also create new mathematics, the new theories do not and cannot contradict the old ones. For example, “1+1=2” is always true, even in thousands of years later.[11]
1.1.7 Why maths is always true but physics is not?[12]
Pure Maths is a system of analytics statements. Analytic statements say nothing about the world. When you say nothing, you cannot be wrong.
.
[10] In Philosophy of Mathematics, this is called the Formalist’s theory of Mathematics. There is a bug in the formalist’s system. It is about the status of the axiom of infinity. For reference, see Bertrand Russell’s Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy.
[11] Mathematics is eternal, as it is timeless, or outside time.
[12] Mr. Lee

I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social.
Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times.
Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them.
These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.
— Russell’s Autobiography
