What is cold knowledge?

Answer: Trivial knowledge refers to trivial, complicated things or knowledge, etc., which may be interesting and are always around us in our lives, but few people pay attention to them.

Just like "cold jokes" are a kind of alternative humor, cold knowledge is not only useful, but also more attractive. This knowledge may seem a bit strange, but it can increase people's knowledge, broaden their horizons, inspire thinking, and arouse a strong desire for knowledge.

In fact, there is no big or small difference in knowledge. Asimov, the world-famous science fiction master, famously said, "Humans are animals that are happier the more useless knowledge they have." Sometimes it is the attention and exploration of small problems that form big problems, thus changing the course of human history.

In foreign countries, people call "cold knowledge" "Trivia". Its origin is "three" (tres) + "road" (via) in Latin, which means "three forks". In the cities of ancient Rome, because three-way roads could be seen everywhere, it was extended to "places everywhere" and "common places". Later it was transformed into meaning those worthless and trivial things. In addition, in the liberal arts of the Middle Ages, the three most basic subjects (grammar, rhetoric, and dialectics) were called trivium (the plural form of trivia), which also derives from "being basic and insignificant". meaning. The adjective for trivia is trivial. In mathematics, the term trivial (translated as "self-evident") is often used to refer to situations that are extremely basic and obvious.

With the continuous development of life, cold knowledge is also changing with each passing day. Today's cold knowledge is no longer just worthless knowledge. It not only enriches your knowledge, but also solves some small troubles in life.
