I've always liked the dog analogy ever since I came across it in Stephen Weinberg's book Dreams of a Final Theory: "...it may be that humans are simply not intelligent enough to discover or to understand the final theory. It is possible to train dogs to do all sorts of clever things, but I doubt that anyone will…
……人们似乎对以下这点视而不见：科学方法可以追溯到亚里士多德。如果你想读一位真正的科学家谈谈哲学对科学的价值，我推荐 Steven Weinberg 的《Dreams of Final Theory》第 7 章“反对哲学”：http://depts.washington.edu/ssnet/Weinberg_SSN_1_14.pdf
…people seem to have blinded yourself towards: Scientific method, traced back to Aristotle If you want to read what a real scientist has to say about the value that philosophy adds to science, I suggest "Dreams of Final Theory" by Steven Weinberg, chapter 7, "Against philosophy": http://depts.washington.edu/ssnet/Weinberg_SSN_1_14.pdf
…energies. Thus the low energy approximations (the effective field theories) have the simple, renormalizable form that we know. There is a good accessible discussion of this in Weinberg's popular science book 'Dreams of a Final Theory'.
…this, and all I can spare right now is a drive-by comment. Steven Weinberg has some very insightful thoughts on the topic, both generally and specifically in the context of particle physics, in his book “Dreams of a final theory” (chapter 5). If you don’t have access to the book, in a pinch, you could peruse some slides that I made for a discussion: https://speakerdeck.com/sivark/walking-through-weinbergs-dre...
自从在史蒂文·温伯格的《终极理论之梦》里读到那个关于狗的类比后，我就一直很喜欢它：“……可能人类的智力根本就不足以去发现或理解终极理论。把狗训练得能做各种聪明事是可能的，但我怀疑是否有人能……

……能量。因此，低能近似（有效场论）就具有了我们所熟知的简单、可重整化的形式。在温伯格的科普书《终极理论之梦》中，对此有非常浅显易懂的讨论。

……这个话题，而我现在只能匆匆留个言。史蒂文·温伯格在他的书《终极理论之梦》（第5章）中，对这个话题提出了非常深刻的见解，既有广义层面的，也有在粒子物理语境下的具体讨论。如果你手头没有这本书，应急的话，可以浏览一下我为一次讨论制作的幻灯片：https://speakerdeck.com/sivark/walking-through-weinbergs-dre...

我小时候读过《终极理论之梦》，自那以后就一直在思考书中提出的一些哲学问题。愿他安息。
I read "Dreams of a Final Theory" as a child, and have been contemplating some of the philosophical questions posed therein ever since. RIP.
《终极理论之梦》是激励我走向理论高能物理学影响最深的书籍之一。难过。
Dreams of a Final Theory was one of the most influential texts that motivated me into theoretical high energy physics. Sad.
