我看不懂紅色部份的意思...

Of this, Sir Arthur Eddington said:

"If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."

[evadne 11]

If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations.

我猜：

If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then , what a pity of Maxwell's equations!

(突然撞進來)

我覺得這個原作者寫的好毒

分明是用戲謔略帶「耍人」性質的「居高臨下」型英文

好像老人寫的.... "ugh, ugh, ugh~!(搖手指) Too bad for you."

不過保證是印象深刻就是了

要學起來

因為馬克思威爾方程式仍然是一個在科學界不確定的話題

所以如果你的論點和馬克思威爾方程式產生衝突

馬克思威爾方程式也同樣會受到質疑

所以 so much the worse = 同樣壞
