The Gods Themselves

A landmark work in the world of science fiction. Asimov's most satisfying work in his life. The stories in three scenes reveal the powerlessness of both humans and gods in the face of stupidity. The interesting aliens of three genders and the radioactive metal plutonium-186 that opens up a parallel universe have become classic elements that are repeatedly cited in science fiction works. The former is like "The Three-Body Problem" and the latter is like Nolan's "Tenet". However, I personally like the hypothesis he conceived in this masterpiece to open the electron channel between the universe and the effect of the valve core for energy exchange between the universe. Through the philosophical concept that 2 does not exist in the universe, he found a way to solve the ultimate problem. He won the Hugo Award for pioneering the concept of parallel universes in science fiction for the first time. The work is sweet and chewy.

Such a beautiful book... Damn it, first floor

Even the gods remain silent in the face of ignorance. In fact, God has said a lot, but it is of no use to the ignorant. What is the strong evidence for the destruction of the earth? It is the destruction of the earth.

I like this novel very much. Although I don't understand the various theories in it very well, it does not prevent me from understanding the author's beautiful fantasy about the world view of the parallel universe. The novel is too short, and I really have the urge to learn English and read the original article [currently in progress]

Regarding the concept of parallel universes, the exchange of energy, the assimilation of physical attributes, knowing the danger but still relying on the efforts of a few people to save the danger to a safe area. The idea is very novel and worth watching

The author is not limited by the traditional writing framework, and boldly divides the novel into three chapters with different styles according to the story scenes. The advantage of this structure is that the highlights of each part can be brought into full play, while the theme of "ignorance" connects the three parts into an organic whole. . Outstanding effect! Of course, the success of this structure is inseparable from the author's excellent social observation and writing skills: whether it is the penetrating portrayal of "ignorance" or the exquisitely designed narrative tricks, people can't help but say: "The master is worthy of being a master." Ky: The three very different chapters remind me of Aiobahn's Fragments with three completely different drops.

A masterpiece. Although the content is a bit difficult to understand, the story is full of twists and turns, and the setting is also very interesting.

No matter what the reason is for ignorance, there are always sober people. In front of the collective, individual power is too small, but it also makes me see that there is a certain hope in the constant struggle. Of course, we just need to find a certain balance point. Book friend's message: Dedicated to mankind---May the war against ignorance be victorious one day. In the face of ignorance, the gods themselves remain silent

It's so romantic, worthy of being a master... And it's very comfortable to control the scientific part throughout the novel. It's not like many ordinary science fiction writers who easily fall into "self-pleasure". There is not too much meaningless knowledge reserve to show off skills, but it actually serves the theme and is simple and easy to understand. Not only does it explore the grand narrative, but the portrayal of the characters' emotions is also very delicate and real, keeping the real people and the grand narrative intact, completely breaking my stereotype of science fiction literature. I dive right into the trap at the speed of light~

It's really good, especially the second chapter handles the relationship between the Reasoner, the Nurturer and the Lover very well. The collision of the cycle of life and the continuation of civilization is more like the fusion between the three of them, which is death and rebirth. When it comes to two parallel worlds facing similar problems, what can the fool and the wise do? The gods themselves were silent.

Nice. A masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece. I became immersed in it as I read it. I couldn't help but stay up late to finish it. Regarding the part about parallel universes, I may be over the top, and I still haven't understood some of the settings, but this does not affect the brilliance of the entire book. The overall framework setting and science fiction ideas of the book are very, very powerful, so I won't praise them too much and will only talk about some details. The author's writing skills are very strong, which is reflected in all aspects. For example, at the beginning of the third part, an Earthling appeared repeatedly. Various descriptions led readers to guess that this person was Lamont, but in the end it was revealed that he was Dinison, which was quite unexpected and reasonable. This little twist grabbed my attention right away. All in all, it's very beautiful.

Very exciting! What would it be like if there really was a parallel universe?

When I read it, I was very confused about physics knowledge and had a very shallow understanding of it, but I was very touched by the stories, relationships, and conflicts between physicists. When I saw Two, I had a deeper understanding of the quantum channel and its subsequent impact on the two worlds. I also lamented how someone could have such a big imagination and imagine what people in the parallel world would look like. The ideas from 50 years ago are still outdated now. When I first started watching Three, I kept thinking about how he could end this problem and who would close the electronic channel. Later I found out that it could be solved this way, as he said: Why two? [Think]

At first I felt incomprehensible and the reading was a bit awkward, but after reading it patiently halfway through, the events became more and more attractive and smoother. The novel's character creation is also very profound. What is commendable is that the author still maintains goodwill expectations for people.

Three chapters, three opposing groups. The opposition between two parallel universes, the opposition between reason and sensibility, the opposition between people on earth and people on the moon. The "gods" of another world choose to sacrifice other universes to preserve themselves, plunder and destroy each other. "In the face of ignorance, the gods remain silent." The Reasoner, the Lover and the Nurturer represent rationality, sensibility and instinct respectively. This part explores rationality and sensibility by describing the love and reproduction of aliens and other behaviors. It is very interesting, unique and fun to imagine. The relationship between the Earth and the Moon is divided and suspicious of each other. This ending confused me at first. The ending with Denison and Selina accepting each other felt a bit abrupt. After thinking about it, their "love" seemed to symbolize the reconciliation between the moon and the earth, and the reconciliation between reason and sensibility. Perhaps this is the "understanding and tolerance" Asimov wanted to express. Also, if human beings choose to open a channel with the cosmic egg to offset the influence of the electronic channel, they are also sacrificing another universe to preserve human beings themselves. It suggests that our universe may have been blasted out of other universes. The gods remained silent on this. Although there are many theories that I don't understand, the strange imagination catches people's attention. Overall, good looking

Realistic yet full of science fiction. The technique is clever and full of coincidences, surprising but not obtrusive - except for Wood, there is a time sequence issue, which I don't quite understand.

Personally, I feel that the chapter "The Gods Themselves" is a bit redundant and boring. "Facing Ignorance" and "Also Silent" are very interesting and easy to get immersed in, probably because the main perspective of these two chapters is human. When I saw the chapter title, I thought that the final cosmic egg passage would be destroyed by Dr. Neville's paranoid thoughts and actions. I didn't expect that it would end in Neville's failure after multiple negotiations and votes by Selina, other lunar residents, and the Earth government. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The spaceship can better realize the people who want to leave, and the other lunar residents who don't want to leave can stay on the moon. Neville has no right to impose his extreme ideas on everyone. After reading the whole book, I don't know why Neville has such extreme ideas. It seems that the setting is like this. The ending ends a bit abruptly, or is this the case for science fiction? Like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" "" Also gives you a kind of "Hey, it's over?" Ending, but the common point is that the endings are full of hope and longing for the future. I like this kind of ending very much. This kind of ending is like sunshine sprinkled with gold foil on the ocean, full of vitality. Because of his love for his granddaughter, Dinison insists on studying the theory of parallel universes; and the love between him and Selina is also the basis for resisting Neville. Although Selina emphasized that she did not obey Neville's command, it can be seen from the previous chapters that her feelings for Neville led her to implicitly obey Neville. This entangled and involved emotion may be a way to combat "the gods themselves remain silent in the face of ignorance". Only love can cross.

Isaac Asimov is a famous American popular science writer and one of the representatives of the Golden Age of American science fiction. The subject matter covers many fields such as natural science, social science, literature and art, and ranks among the three giants of science fiction together with Robert Heinlein and Arthur Clark. Among his works, three major series: "Foundation Series", "Galactic Empire Trilogy" and "Robot Series" are known as "science fiction bibles". The "Three Laws of Robotics" he proposed are called "the cornerstone of modern robotics."

I am also a science fiction writer. I just finished reading the first chapter and I was shocked! Asimov is indeed an outstanding science fiction writer recommended and admired by teacher Liu Cixin! Very worthy of my study!

Science and technology should not be shackled by politics.

In the face of ignorance, the gods themselves remain silent

I didn't expect it to be he in the end. [Face covering] I thought that human civilization would spend a period of time in silence, and then make a dying struggle to send out the last hope before the devastating blow came, and then everything would fall into silence.

It's a good science fiction novel, but why does the author always like to write about romance? Here you can even see pornographic articles about the outer universe (not). The author has a lot of imagination, and many of his ideas are very clever. I really like the second chapter, so when will the parallel universe extra chapter be released? (No)

The author's description of creatures in parallel universes is very imaginative

Tribute to Asimov, really the father of science fiction

Parallel Universe Matter and Energy Exchange trinity life form The life of space immigrants, the gap between the inhabitants of the earth and the moon Cosmic egg, the idea of the Big Bang The conflict between truth and fame "In the face of ignorance, the gods themselves remain silent.

Finally finished reading. It's all because stubborn people are so sure of their goals that they get what looks like a pretty good ending.

A very exciting science fiction novel. In the face of ignorance, the gods themselves remain silent.

The first one was wonderful, but I didn't quite understand the second chapter and went back to read it again. The third chapter ended too quickly. I wanted to see if the moon left in the end. The energy dissipation in and out satisfies the energy needs of the earth and the moon respectively. For a long time, humans will not need to consider the issue of energy consumption. The price may be the demise of a cosmic egg, and the life there may also make the same choice as humans. As for humans themselves, they have gradually decreased over the long years and no longer have the desire to reproduce. They have evolved (or degenerated?) Into beings like parallel universes and become gods themselves.

The most advanced lie is half the truth. "The public only expects one thing - to live a comfortable and comfortable life for themselves." The most advanced science fiction is half reality and half fantasy. This is Amosif, who introduces the rationale, lover, and nurturer of the parallel universe, the trinity of elders, and connects the earth with electronic channels. Turn chance into necessity, make everyday things scientific, and make scientific things daily. Countless can be in any form, and in the cross-universe overflow, it is not just infinite energy that can be transferred interactively. Dineson may be a product of Asimov, focusing on ideals and science fiction, and the moon girl Selena has a perfect marriage. Ignorance stemming from instinct may cause existential crises, and existential crises may also promote technological progress. Love can be without sex. There are things in the world that are more precious than sex and appearance. Accepting that human nature is evil, although it may harm others, may also promote technological progress and ultimately benefit the entire society. Because the future of mankind is gathered here, and I want to be a part of tomorrow. The gods themselves could only remain silent.
