Man's greatness stems from his thinking.

Man is just a reed grass, the most fragile thing in nature; But he is a thinking reed. You don't need the whole universe to take up arms to destroy it. A drop of water in one breath is enough to kill him. However, even if the universe destroys him, man is still much more noble than what killed him. Because he knew he was going to die, and he knew the benefits the universe brought him, but the universe knew nothing about it.

Pascal is a famous French mathematician, physicist, philosopher and essayist.

From 1649 to 165 1, Pascal and his collaborator Pierre measured the changes of atmospheric pressure in detail at the same place, and became pioneers in weather forecasting with barometer. 165 1 year, Pascal began to summarize his experimental results. 1654, he wrote a paper on liquid balance and air weight, which was officially published in 1663.

Pascal then turned to theological research, and 1655 entered Petraeus' theological center. Starting from skepticism, he thinks that perceptual and rational knowledge are unreliable, and thus draws the conclusion that faith is above everything else.
