By reading Kant and Mach's philosophical works, young Einstein cultivated the spirit of dare to doubt and criticize. In the face of Newton's authority, which is regarded as "the most sacred legacy" by professional scientists, he can clearly understand that if they cannot be proved completely legal, they will be abandoned; If their correspondence with a given thing is too lax, they will be modified; If a new system can be established, which is considered superior for any reason, then these concepts will be replaced by other concepts.
