Are you stupid to ask such a question?

Just like asking why the earth is round, this is tacit common sense and the default axiom of human beings. How can you ask such a boring question?

Is this question really boring?

Once upon a time, every time I watched a sci-fi movie or book, I always thought of this question unnaturally. Now, under the premise of unclear logic, I finally wrote these more than 3 thousand words magnificently.

It is true that I read it twice after writing it, but I don't understand what "profound theory" I am trying to clarify. Therefore, this article is just my own contempt. If it goes against science, don't spray it, please kindly correct me! ! If you are interested, please try to experience paid reading (. #).

Let's discuss the deep meaning of this problem word for word.

If we ask, the level of human science and technology is not constantly developing, then is human science and technology constantly retrogressing?

Discussion retrogression? This is absolutely against the rules of the real world in front of me, so I dare not speak out against the earth.

So which word are you going to bite?

Let's cut to the chase, that is, the word "continuous"!

After reading so many (a little boastful) sci-fi movies and books, I can't help but sigh that the world/universe imaginable in human mind is far ahead of the world known by human science!

For example, in the world of science fiction, you will certainly get used to it and think it is nothing unusual, although you know rationally in your heart that in the near future, in the future of mankind, you will be able to make such a machine. But in reality, human beings will continue to explore and experiment in the unknown future, and then they will certainly create a time machine that human beings have been used to for several years!

It's a little circuitous, but it's true. To sum up, why can human beings predict in advance that there will be a time machine in the future, but the level of science and technology mentioned by human beings can't keep up with the brain, and it needs constant exploration and experiment to make it?

If you insist that the human brain imagines things that don't exist in the real world and don't need any "cost", I can predict things hundreds of millions of years later! Of course it is! But back to the micro-world, can you understand it like this? You know that when human beings imagine all this, countless brain cells (or some microscopic substances) are consumed. Just like human beings in reality, it is through constant exploration and constant "experiments" that you can imagine those.

Well, this is the core issue to be discussed in this article-non-stop. Next, following this question, let's continue reading.

Let's start with a sci-fi movie "Coming" released two years ago. I have written a film review before, and interested friends can go and have a look.

If you understand this movie, you will definitely wonder how the protagonist got a super ability to predict the future. Because it was not elaborated in the film, in the original novel "The Story of Your Life", such a principle-Fermat principle was mentioned.

As we all know, when light enters other media from the air, it will be refracted. To put it bluntly, when light chooses the path from point A to point B, it will choose an optimal path, which is either the maximum or the minimum. Anyway, it will choose an extreme value and finally reach a certain point B. This point B is an endpoint that human beings can determine through their cognition of the physical world, not an irregular random point!

I admire the author Ted Jiang's understanding of theoretical knowledge and brain holes. Generally speaking, everything in the universe actually knows what will happen in the future, just as human beings know the law of refraction of water. Because the speed of light is already the limit, human beings can accurately "calculate" the position and accurate "time" of point A and point B, just as the movie tells, the whole life of the woman master and slave is completely known from birth to death.

Can it be understood that human science and technology should have directly reached that extreme value, that is, the level of science and technology that can be obtained through "calculation" without continuous development?

But in the real world, why should human beings continue to develop the level of science and technology? So what kind of technology is human being constantly developing? Are you constantly exploring the mysteries of the universe?

Let's change our thinking, please keep up with the rhythm and take brain cells as an example to explain. If the number of human beings, such as countless brain cells and tens or even hundreds of billions of individuals, all obey God's command and explore the mysteries of the universe at the same time, then, in theory, the wisdom of all living things can definitely solve the mysteries of the universe in a very short time without constant exploration! Change quantity for process, right?

If you think this metaphor is ridiculous or even far-fetched, the sci-fi movie Interstellar, which is called a masterpiece by the great director Lan Ruo, can better illustrate this problem. Some anomalies discovered by the female host in the early stage of the film, such as books scattered all over the place, were originally discovered by the male host after he fell into the black hole. After entering a multi-dimensional space-time, the "future" self reminds her daughter who lives on the earth to use her watch to transmit information and let her crack the gravitational field, thus saving all mankind.

The train of thought seems a bit chaotic! Are you trying to tell me that human beings should not explore the mysteries of the universe? Or should humans not always develop science and technology?

At this point, I actually want to explain that the word "continuous" can actually be removed. As for why mankind is still developing science and technology, I want to say that because mankind has not found a shortcut to solve the mystery of the universe, it can only adopt this most stupid way.

At present, I recommend Liu's short story Wen Chao Island, which tells the story of human beings exploring the ultimate mystery of the universe.

Admittedly, those assumptions can only exist in science fiction movies. Then, a new problem appeared. Can humans abandon this most stupid method?

Before answering the above questions, I might as well ask another meaningful question. Humans have ruled the earth for thousands of years. Why should we continue to develop science and technology?

Isn't the continuous progress of science and technology fragrant? How convenient and comfortable your life is now! However, if you look at the history of human beings, human beings have existed on this earth for about 20W years, but only a few thousand years of civilization. There is another data. In fact, human science and technology has developed very slowly in these five thousand years, but it has developed rapidly in just over three hundred years. Think about it carefully, is it extremely scary?

In fact, the whole human history, or civilization, science and technology are not unified and sustainable development, but suddenly advance by leaps and bounds in a certain period and progress across the times! There are many articles on this topic on the Internet, and those who are interested can search for it themselves.

In fact, facts show that human science and technology do not need to continue to develop! A very simple example, if the era has been stuck in the era of red and white machines that we were intoxicated with when we were young, the game we are playing is pixel-level super Mario. Will we always be so drunk and crazy? If we have been living in the era of bb and mobile phones, are we satisfied?

In my understanding, the development of science and technology is meaningless to human civilization. It only meets the more and more dazzling material needs, but constantly discards the most meaningful spiritual civilization. Of course, this is just my one-sided word!

This may be an idealized conclusion that human beings are not developing science and technology, but are greedy!

Friends who like science fiction must be particularly obsessed with ancient civilizations, such as Atlantis, Mayan civilization, Loulan ancient country, geocentric civilization and so on. As described in many science fiction novels, human beings once had superb technology in a certain era, but just like in "Night", they were constantly destroyed by the creator, or God, or higher-level alien civilization, and then rebuilt, and so on.

What do you think of writing a paper? Let's make a conclusion at last. Without so many detours, does it feel like chewing an orange peel, which is bitter and hard to swallow? I can only say that reading too many science fiction stories has opened my brain and bound my thinking. I could have fantasized wildly, but I didn't expect to know more about some things more and more. Is this a human being in a certain time and space in the future, warning the present human beings in a more advanced way?

I always think that the development of science and technology is a self-directed scam, a bit like The Truman Show, which tells you that high technology will bring more fun to human life, but I have no idea that it is just to please the advanced civilization in the outside world of Truman?

To sum up, in theory, the level of human science and technology can actually reach its peak immediately, just like suddenly practicing the Tathagata's palm, which can unify the rivers and lakes immediately. But is Wen Mingzhen's human goal the only way to continuously develop science and technology? Thousands of years of human civilization, why didn't anyone think about why Apple landed until modern times? Didn't the previous human beings have genius and stupidity to understand the mystery of the universe?

As an idea expressed in Liu's short story Wen Chao Dao, the day when human beings know the mystery of the universe is actually the day of self-destruction. Perhaps the truly eternal civilization is ignorance.

Only people who have been opened their brains will be so bored to discuss such problems. Why should human science and technology continue to develop?

This is really a boring question!
