This is the first science fiction novel I have read. The content and ending are very shocking. This book is not a superficial fantasy, but is based on real science. This book not only reflects technology, but also expresses human nature, and makes people think about the future of mankind.
For a physics scumbag, this book is really brain-burning to read. A lot of the physics principles in it are not completely understandable and understandable, but in terms of the structure and plot of the whole book, it is quite excellent, the plot is unexpected, and there are many things worth thinking about. There is a sentence in the article that touched me deeply, "Ignorance and fear are not the most terrifying things, but arrogance is the original sin that destroys a civilization."
After watching the three movies, my mind went blank. This ending really makes me unable to calm down. All I can say is that it was very well written.
The Three-Body Problem Beyond Civilization
"Death is the only beacon that is always on. No matter where you sail, you must eventually turn to the direction it guides. Everything will pass away, and only death will live forever." The universe is like a dark forest. In the forest where the sun never rises, the silent advanced civilizations are hunters with shotguns, quietly watching the arrival of their prey. For them, the civilization of the earth is like a child, holding up a lamp and shouting: "I am here! I am here!" When they truly realize death, they are frightened, and the arrival of death will never stop or slow down. The birth of life is a miracle caused by the precise coordination of various parameters in the universe. Earth's civilization is one of the miracles, and it is also an insignificant one among countless civilizations. It is precisely this civilization that is only three million years old that can face the cruelest truth of the universe with the most painful attitude. The political corruption and moral decay during the Communist era aroused Ye Wenjie's hatred and despair for human nature. This was also the author's criticism of the gloomy society at that time. In 1971, the signal she sent into outer space was successfully intercepted by the Trisolaran civilization, which kicked off the war between the two civilizations. If Ye Wenjie is the fuse of the war, human tyranny is the root cause of the war. Human beings at that time would not have imagined how they would devote themselves to their survival in the future. "Survival is the first need of civilization; civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged." Behind the axioms of cosmic civilization is the darkest truth of the dark forest. In order to find this truth, some people have spent their lives, and some have spent their lives. Luo Ji was not powerful, he just found the truth. In order to stick to the truth, he betrayed his loved ones and dug a grave for himself, allowing future generations to accuse him and even being accused of a crime. Everything seems helpless in the face of time. The same is true for the people on the "Blue Space" outside the solar system, "heroes", "traitors", "saviors"... Different humans at different times have given them different evaluations, but they have been doing one thing from beginning to end: moving forward for the survival of human civilization. Go ahead! Go ahead! ! Advance by any means necessary! ! ! Between morality and ethics and human survival, Zhang Beihai and Wade obviously chose the latter; they saw the direction of history and humanity one step ahead of others. Facing the entire civilization, they have no choice but to move forward. This "forward" will also be the infinite driving force for our technological progress and social development. I am very grateful to Liu for creating such a universe that allows us to see such vastness; I am also very angry that he created such a character and allowed us to experience such grief. I often look up at the stars, and often think: If there really is such a dark forest in the universe, and if there are really these laws of the universe, then what choice will we make? I think time can prove everything, the unknown and the unrealized can be mapped in the future, and science fiction literature only gives a prediction of the turbulent future. However, the person who truly controls destiny is not the prophet, but the decider at the critical moment of destiny. Cheng Xin's appearance was like a god, spreading the glory of humanity to the earth. She chose humanity twice. If she had to do it countless times, she would still choose it because she is the most perfect interpretation of humanity. But she only gave time to civilization, but not time to civilization. Thoughts make people great, and time depicts the magic of the universe. Civilization is an epic, written by predecessors and sung by future generations.
Hmm... I'm just asking casually. It is written in the book that the speed of the Trisolaran fleet can reach one-tenth of the speed of light. The Earth is a little more than four light years away from the Trisolaran planet. Then why does it take four hundred years for the Trisolaran fleet to reach the Earth? I don't know if I read it wrong or my math foundation is not good. Please give me some advice.
A very good epoch-making masterpiece, written very well by Liu
The Three-Body Problem, human nature in science fiction.
It took me three or four days to read it all. Some people say that logic is the most miserable, but I think Cheng Xin is the most miserable. Let me ask, when a person is responsible for the life and death of two civilizations, does he really have the ability to make the decision to destroy two civilizations? Although what Cheng Xin did was wrong, right or wrong is always an afterthought. At the moment, what you think is right is right. The cosmology in the book is that conscience is always something that makes people vulnerable, and love is worthless in the universe. I pity logic. As a Wallfacer, he is not a qualified Wallfacer, and as a husband or lover, he is not a qualified husband either. As a great man who saves the world, he has been doing nothing until he is forced to do nothing. I pity logic. The most important thing is that his freedom is restricted by moral ethics. Before the Deterrence Era, they said he was trash. During the Age of Deterrence, he became their god. After the Era of Deterrence, they lived a comfortable life and then blamed him for destroying another civilization they couldn't even see. To give a vulgar example, it's like, when they were hungry, they hated him for not being able to give them food, so he snatched food for them to eat. When they were full and comfortable, they scolded him for being so incompetent and stealing other people's food. This is not science fiction, this is reality. Just like dog meat, in years of famine, when people have nothing to eat, they can only kill chickens and dogs for food. When living standards improve, they start to condemn other people who eat dog meat. I think this kind of people are ridiculous. Very sad too! I can't think of what to say next, so here it goes! Three-body, classic!
I don't like the ending
I don't believe that Yun Tianming will be with another woman. A man who is willing to give a star and the universe to his lover can actually marry and have children with another woman and still live together. It's nonsense!
I feel the speed of light! Not the fastest! It actually has 4 dimensions! What is the speed of light in the eyes of the 4th dimension! It's no different from walking.
The Trisolaran civilization is so powerful that it can survive on three suns. Why must it invade the earth? Wouldn't it be enough to give them a spark?
