科学传统与科学探索

The Scientific Tradition and a Scientific Research

科学传统对科学的基础研究有十分重要的导向与规范作用。牛顿依附于１７世纪的科学传统，因而在万有引力定律的发现中独领风骚，然而在他的探索过程中，最关键的进展恰恰发生在他突破了这种科学传统的束缚之时。牛顿对科学传统的天才把握，对今天的物理学基础研究仍有启发作用。

The scientific tradition plays an importarit guiding and prescribing role in a scientific basic re-search. Conforming to the scientific tradition in the 17th century,lssac Newton made himself as- cending to the throne of developing the law of universal gravitation. However,it was just afterbreaking through the confinement of the scientific tradition that he made a decisive breakthrough in his exploration of the law. Newton's perfect handling of the scientific tradition prooidp enlight-en ment on today's basic research in physics.
