Another Short History of Linguistics (32)

Alphabetic system was invented by Phoenician people, the question is why they didn’t think about how to beaten the pictogram but left the issue to Greece?

My answer is from my linguistic law. By my linguistic law that when the Greece invented the sound of vowel, their thinking speed and memory capacity had increased. It just like a healthy strong child when he got too much energy and vigour, you could not stop him to do something. While an unhealthy and less vigour child, always appeared to be dead to all feelings.

Another example is from Japanese. Before 8 century, they didn’t have language, then they borrow characters from China, if they did the same job like Greece borrowed alphabet from Phoenician they had to have much more thinkers than China, but the fact is that in the history, the Japanese never had even one great thinker needless to say scientist. The reason is also from my linguistic law that is the original Chinese language had over one thousand species of sounds but the Japanese shift them into less than two hundred species of sounds, with any mathematical mind you may know that their thinking speed and memory capacity would drop down.    

Another example is comparing the importance of outside pressure. It is the Indian Sanskrit, it is also a sort of alphabetic language, since it developed independently, without any pressure from pictogram language, so it didn’t need to think about finding out a metaphysic expression to defending the existence. The Indian had very good mathematician as we know the story about pagoda; it said that in the middle of the world, there are three posts, one of them had 64 gold rings ranged from big to small, the Buddhism monks moving the gold rings day and night. Each time they can only move one ring, their purpose was put all the 64 rings to another post, under the condition that no bigger ring would on top of smaller on. If we move one ring from one post to another in one second, it will take 60 billion years to finish all the process.

It would be a good mind of math to figure out such an expression but as they don’t need defend their expression system, they still don’t think about what is continuity.

So we may say the start of science had to have two condition, the first one is a promotion or development of thinking speed by increasing the number of phonetic species, the second one is pressure from pictogram. It is lucky that the Greece encountered both of them.
