夏洛克‧福爾摩斯是至今不論在電視或電影最常被翻拍的故事

福爾摩斯這個角色靈感來自心計、怪醫豪斯

靈異妙探、CSI犯罪現場、神經妙探、法律與秩序，甚至還有蝙蝠俠

而他們都是科學家

嘿！各位偵探們
我是德雷西，你正收看DNews

雖然福爾摩斯是一個虛構的角色

觀眾都著迷於他的邏輯、理性思考和科學觀念

這是一件不容易的事

直到今天
福爾摩斯發行了超過100年

這個角色仍活躍在偵探片中

他運用科學方法、邏輯思考避免直覺反應

他冷靜行動、察言觀色、反社會科學和刻板印象

有些人甚至認為他有些自我為中心

這個維多利亞時期的偵探之所以會如此受歡迎
一部分原因是

這扣人心弦的故事和作者極佳的文筆

然除此之外也因為符合時代潮流和人性

幾百年前，科學是貴族才擁有的權利

像是著名科學家查爾斯‧巴貝奇發明了差分機

有點像現代計算機的前身

這是人類最老的電腦之一，也是科學上的發明奇蹟

但成功的一部分原因
也是因為他富裕的家世

夏洛克‧福爾摩斯的作者柯南‧道爾

結合了邏輯、理性、想像和一點人格缺陷

使得福爾摩斯擁有少見的人格特性
親近觀眾

人類的好奇心和組織能力造就科學

約一千年就已經有科學方法

像是早期埃及的哲學科學家亞里士多德

用科學方式解決生活問題

現在的偵探用化學、物理學、心理學

數學、法醫學和其他學術方式

來解決犯罪問題。而這些方法

夏洛克‧福爾摩斯早在一百年前做過了

他擅長於化學
順道一提

他得到英國皇家化學學會

榮譽獎學金

這通常是給諾貝爾得獎者的
我指的是，真人

作者柯南道爾也談及

福爾摩斯會以彈奏樂器、冥想或是吸取苦科鹼

來激發他的想像力和智力

去年前，我們在節目上也談及過這些

我們並不總是贊同他們的做法
但不論如何

各位，科學總是有它自己的規則

新的福爾摩斯像典型的故事一樣

用心智圖和記憶之宮的方式

來創造或再造犯罪現場和現場線索

想像力和科學完美結合
愛死他了

誰最喜歡夏洛克‧福爾摩斯?

是豪爾斯博士?或者是康柏巴奇?

也許是經典人物像彼得‧奧圖
