Following in Engels' Footsteps 10
(Fuwa's book lists the names of many scientists who Engels discussed and records of sources, but since this blog is intended to be easy to understand for beginners, we will not quote those descriptions. Nowadays, Marx is misinterpreted by many people, and there are people who do not even know Engels' name. We hope that this blog category will be an entry point for understanding.)
At that time, Engels criticized those who linked natural science with agnosticism.
Agnostics accept the conclusions of natural science, but still cling to objects that cannot be known.
Engels said,
"Scientists are in fact materialists to the extent that they know them. But outside their own specialized sciences and in areas they do not know, they call their ignorance agnosticism."
Agnostics often insist that "natural science cannot explain the emergence of consciousness." (Harada's note: This tendency exists even among Japanese scholars and intellectuals.)

Engels's book, Dialectics of Nature, was left unfinished as he had to deal with various developments, including the death of his wife and the suppression of socialism in Germany.
Fuwa's book supplements Engels' book by including explanations of molecules, atoms, elementary particles, atomic nuclei, quarks, etc.
The Big Bang produced hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium in the first few minutes of the universe.Subsequent space observations have discovered many other substances in the universe. In astrophysics, which deals with atomic nuclei, it is believed that heavy elements such as oxygen and carbon that make up the human body were produced in stars. However, elements such as oxygen and carbon did not exist in the first stars born in the universe.However, small amounts of heavy elements (collectively known as "metals" in astronomy) exist in the next stars that were born. Stars with low metal contents have also been observed in the Milky Way galaxy.
In recent years, computer-aided analysis has contributed greatly to our understanding of the universe.
