"Who am I?"

"Where did I come from and where did I die?"

"What do I mean to the world?"

"Did I choose the world, or did the world choose me?"

"There is a length of time? Does the universe have an end? "

"Where did the past time disappear?"

"Where will the future time stop?"

Tell me, you've all thought about these questions.

Sister Liu is busy with Three-body which she just finished watching.

For three days in a row.

Let me take a minute to open the dictionary in my head and search for words to express the most accurate feelings I am immersed in.

search ...

"shocking."

Yes, shocking.

A science fiction novel covering science, philosophy and history, with its profound scientific knowledge and rich imagination, combines China's 5,000-year history with the cosmic reality of 654.38+0.5 billion years, and integrates human life with imaginary life-the World Science Fiction Hugo Award is well deserved.

It is really challenging to read through this work with the knowledge system of a liberal arts student.

The evolutionary history of different civilizations in the human world needs historical knowledge as the basis; The contradiction of human thought and the pursuit of spirit need the guidance of philosophical knowledge, and the great civilization system of the universe needs the support of natural scientific knowledge; The multi-dimensional perspective of particle structure in the micro-universe needs the knowledge of astrophysics as a foreshadowing.

In the novel, Copernicus' Heliocentrism, Galileo's theory of relativity, Newton's three laws of mechanics, von Neumann's quantum mechanics and game theory, Aristotle's formal logic theory, Mozi's oriental school thought, Newton's and Leibniz's struggle for the reputation of calculus, and the portrayal of Zhou Wenwang, Zhou Wang, Qin Shihuang and Pope Gregory are all skillfully integrated into various interlocking plots.

Up to now, I can't tell what the nuclear structure of atoms, protons, neutrons and other elements is like, and what role nano plays. The dotted thinking of cosmic civilization is also blank in my cognition.

I regret that I didn't study science and physics well.

Surprisingly, as a liberal arts student, Busy Sister has always been fascinated.

Even the missing part of my own knowledge system-the exposition of scientific basic theory and applied analysis, I don't even want to skip punctuation.

"Three-body" undoubtedly broke my inherent impression of China's science fiction.

Both the vividness of the novel and the correctness of popular science; Rich imagination is also the rigor of the paper. Completely technical details, no metaphysical shadow.

This is a surprise for me from China science fiction.

I am a science fiction fan.

Most sci-fi fans are science and engineering men.

It's a pity that I am a serious liberal arts woman.

I like science fiction because I saw many science fiction movies when I was a student. Such as classic sci-fi movies Inception, The Matrix, 200 1: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, E.T.: Alien, The Fifth Element, The Truman Show and so on.

I won't list them one by one.

Three-body is my first real science fiction novel.

The difference between novels and movies is that movies materialize spiritual things, while novels can give people more free imagination space. This kind of imagination space originates from readers' own cognition and understanding.

Whether it is a movie or a novel, our absorption of content depends largely on our original cognitive level, not just on the content itself.

To be honest, I don't think I am qualified to write book reviews or even comments.

I am ignorant.

The more you absorb, the more you feel ignorant and understand your own shortcomings.

My personal knowledge system is too small, my experience is too lacking, my vision is too narrow and my thoughts are too shallow.

These three days, from the macro and micro perspectives, under the impact of different cultures and concepts, I vaguely felt something different, something new, something I never knew, spreading in my mind, and at the same time opened a door for my eyes and mind and broke free from the shackles of thought.

I am lucky again.

Fortunately, I stood in a new angle and appreciated the charm of the novel.

What's more, I can read freely and embrace the whole universe with my thoughts.

Q 1: Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

This question is not only the wild and unrestrained of busy sister, but you must have thought about it.

I am an atheist.

Growing up, I firmly denied the truth of things I didn't witness. Such as ghosts and gods from surrounding groups.

As a student of political philosophy, I still adhere to the principle of Marxist atheism.

When I began to ponder the phrase "there are no unknowns in the world, only things that are not known", I began to understand what is known, known unknown, unknown unknown unknown.

People don't believe in things that don't exist in their world, and I always believe.

Q2: If there are extraterrestrial beings, are there any moral principles in the universe?

Three-body problem refers to how three objects with the same or similar mass move under the action of mutual attraction. So far, it is known that the three-body problem cannot be solved accurately, that is, the mathematical scenarios of all three-body problems cannot be predicted.

The novel reveals the relationship between man and nature with the logic of astrophysics.

The theory that human nature is good at the beginning of life is very suspicious in the human world, and it is even more impossible to be accurate in the universe.

How many behaviors that are normal or even normal in human eyes are evil from the perspective of the whole nature?

Everyone in the human world knows that human moral consciousness is impossible. When mankind began to despair of the human world, it became the only hope to save mankind with the help of forces other than human beings.

But even in the three-body world, everything is for the survival of civilization, and survival is the premise of everything.

For the survival of the whole civilization, there is almost no respect for individuals, and individuals who cannot work will die; The three-body society is in extreme autocracy, and the law has only two levels: guilty and innocent, guilty and executed, and acquitted; All spirits that may lead to fragility are evil. There is no literature, no art, no pursuit and enjoyment of beauty, and even love cannot be revealed and confided. The spiritual life is single and exhausted.

In the three-body world, death (dehydration and burning) is a trivial punishment. The greatest punishment is to live until you lose hope.

Author Liu believes that a universal civilization with zero morality is possible, so how can a moral human civilization survive in a universal civilization with zero morality?

Answering the question of cosmic morality can only be convincing through scientific rational thinking.

I began to look forward to the second "Three-body II Dark Forest"-"The city is the forest, every man is a hunter, and every woman is a trap."

Which is more important, basic science or applied research?

This question is equivalent to-is theory important or practice important?

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This is one of the most basic principles of Marxism.

The study of the deep structure of matter is the basis of all other scientific foundations. In basic science, the laws of physics are unified in time and space.

However, when all the physical theories in human history, from Archimedes principle to string theory, and even all the scientific discoveries and ideological achievements of human beings so far, have been overthrown by practice.

When supernatural forces construct a universe that cannot be explained by scientific logic, when three-body civilization becomes the object of worship of religious believers on earth, and when non-scientific thinking overwhelms scientific thinking, the whole scientific thinking system collapses.

Everything leads to the result that physics has never existed and will never exist in the future.

What does this mean?

This means that the universal physical laws of the universe do not exist, so physics does not exist.

This means that the world we have always owned is not our world.

This means that the world outlook collapses, the outlook on life is destroyed and values are lost.

This is a work that affects people's world outlook.

What is the essence of the novel? It is time.

What is the essence of time? Is an irreversible loss.

The reason why novels and movies are touching and sad is that as the story goes on, the weight lost becomes heavier and heavier-irreversible life, irreversible decision, irreplaceable partner and irreparable harm. They are like waves that take us away from the coast we are trying to swim to.

Three-body opens up a new way of thinking, trying to find out the limitations of science by scientific methods, and trying to determine whether there is a boundary between the depth and accuracy of science's cognition of nature.

A good science fiction is to write the most ethereal and crazy imagination as true as a news report.

Just like the hero of the novel, I feel like a human being compared to a bug: extremely small, but endless.

Empathy-the life of the earth is really an accident in the universe, the universe is an empty palace, and human beings are the only small ants in this palace.

The same contradictory mentality-sometimes I feel that life is really precious and everything is as heavy as Mount Tai; Sometimes I think people are so small that nothing is worth mentioning.

Feel the dignity of life in the storm of life. As long as people live in this world, this is a significant gesture.

Finally, this paper would like to pay tribute to "Three-body" and China's science fiction with a liberal arts student's individual thinking and limited perspective!
