1 At one observation point, clouds made it impossible to see the total solar eclipse.
Male host: “There are clouds now, so we can’t see the solar eclipse. When the sun is completely covered later, we should be able to see the stars, right?”
Professor: “You can’t see them.”
Male host: “You should be able to, though. By then the sky will be completely dark.”
Professor: “…..Uh… If you can’t even see the eclipse, then it’s impossible to see the stars either.” (The professor was probably falling apart too.)
2 The host said, pretending to be excited: Professor Jiang, are you moved by the solar eclipse?
Professor Jiang said: I’m not moved. The more you see it, the less moved you are. When you’ve seen it enough, you won’t be moved either.
3 The female host asked, Professor Jiang, how were the mountains on the moon formed? Were they caused by asteroid impacts?
Professor Jiang said, The mountains on the moon were originally already there, and some of them were caused by asteroid impacts.
Listening to that, it made me dizzy
4 When the broadcast switched to India,
the female host said, In the darkness there are stars. Professor Jiang, are those Mercury? Can we see the stars?
Professor Jiang said, It’s impossible to see the stars.
It was later proven that they weren’t stars, but fishing boats.
5 The camera turned to Chongqing, and the screen suddenly went pitch black
Host: Professor Jiang, is this what it looks like when the sun is completely covered?
Professor Jiang: ……….I think it seems like the signal is lost…..
6 Male host: Professor, tell us why the temperature of the corona at the edge of the sun is so high
Professor: Actually…. the temperature of the corona isn’t that high
Male host: But it’s said to be much higher than the temperature at the center of the sun, this is a really amazing phenomenon!!
Professor: How could the temperature of the corona be higher than the sun’s center? Of course the center is still hotter…..
The female host couldn’t take it anymore and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: Let’s take a look at the connected footage from the **land area!
7 Also, when Shanghai went completely dark, the host asked the professor, “Professor, do you think Shanghai should turn on the scenic lighting?”
The professor said calmly, “It shouldn’t. Waste of money.”
8 There was also talk of someone who specially went to Japan and watched from a yacht at sea
The host asked the professor excitedly: “What’s different about watching it at sea? Would it be more how, more how, how-what**&……&”
The professor again said calmly, “There’s no difference at all”
9 It was raining in Shanghai, so you couldn’t see the solar eclipse. A reporter went to cover the situation when it got dark, and said very calmly, “The sun is darkening at a speed of” and paused, “one little bit at a time per second”。。。
10 Male host: The moment to witness the miracle has arrived, the Chongqing area is already dark!!
Female host: A wonder, a wonder
After half a minute of silence……
Male host: What’s going on? What’s going on. So it turns out the signal was interrupted and the screen went black.
Female host: Let’s still look at the Wuhan area.
———————————————–
Male host: Now we’re connecting with netizens
Netizen, hello. Netizen? Netizen, hello netizen…… netizen…… netizen!!
Female host: Let’s still take a look at downtown Shanghai
——————————————–
Male host: We’ll connect with Li Yintao right away, Li Yintao, Li Yintao
Li Yintao: Right now I’m more than two hundred meters up at the Oriental Pearl Tower
Male host: Li Yintao, let me ask you, is it necessary for the Oriental Pearl Tower to turn on its scenic lighting now?
Li Yintao: ……
—————————————————–
Male host: We’ll connect with Zhang Xi
Zhang Xi: I’m very excited right now, very much so; the audience are all turning on their flashlights to photograph the solar eclipse.
……Many spectators photographing the solar eclipse actually had to turn on their flashlights.
11 The male host said very excitedly, “Our country very early on began using airplane travel as a way to conduct scientific research. Professor Jiang, could you introduce that to us?”
The professor said, “Don’t ask me this question. I wasn’t involved in that project.”
12 Male host: “There are many eclipse-chasing astronomy enthusiasts who even take planes flying from west to east to enjoy the eclipse. Professor Jiang, as we all know, on a plane the angle isn’t good. What if we can’t see it?”
The professor said, “Then just tilt your head up and look!”
(I spat everything out at once……)

Uh, my original intention was to find a review or record article about this solar eclipse and how the public watched it, but unfortunately I didn’t see anything suitable, so I reposted this piece as a record。。

I’m also a science student who wants to study philosophy. May I ask, is there any difference in the admission cutoff scores for science students applying to Peking University’s Department of Philosophy?

How did you end up asking here? What do you mean, “what difference is there”? Please check the cutoff scores from previous years yourself… Also, Peking University’s Department of Philosophy admits relatively few science students. Science students who want to enter the philosophy department can also negotiate with the admissions office teacher to first apply for some less popular science and engineering major and get admitted, then transfer into the philosophy department when the semester begins.
