I asked you to write about Fishman, and you went crazy with your creations on the spot?

【Yang Dong?!】

【Damn it, she's here again! ?】

【There is actually a role for Yang Dong in Three-Body Problem 3! ?】

【No way, this foreshadowing won’t be buried so deep, right?!】

……

At this moment, not only the audience in the live broadcast room was in disbelief.

The judges' room was even more unexpected.

Bureau chief:"Yang Dong is online again?!"

Tanaka Yoshiki:"If these can be connected, wouldn't this logical ability be terrible?!"

Nolan's eyes flashed:"It seems that Mr. Lu Chen has already had it in his mind. I’ve thought about all three works!"

……

——【Year 1 of the Crisis Era, Life Options]

Yang Dong wanted to save herself, but she knew there was little hope.

In the past, Yang Dong had a basic belief: life and the world may be ugly, but at the micro and macro ends, they are harmonious and perfect, and the daily world is just a bubble floating on this perfect ocean.

Now it seems that the daily world has become a beautiful appearance, and the micro and macro it contains may be more chaotic and ugly.

Originally, Yang Dong could survive without physics.

She could get married and have children like an ordinary person, and spend half her life peacefully living out her whole life.

But it was her mother Ye Wenjie who took away the other half of her life.

Yang Dong accidentally restored some of the deleted information on her mother's computer, and thus learned the secret of her mother and the Trisolaris world.

These two things add up to a life.

In a daze, Yang Dong came to the terminal hall of the research institute.

A mathematical model of Earth's evolution is being studied here.

Yang Dong looked at the researcher and suddenly said:

——"Do you believe there is a God?"

——"I do not believe"

——"Think about it, the environment in which life can exist is very demanding on various physical parameters. If the parameters of the big bang deviated from one part in a billion, there would be no heavy elements and there would be no life. Isn’t this obvious? Any sign of intelligent design?"

The researcher was stunned and shook his head.

—""317" - I don't understand the Big Bang, but the life environment of the earth you are talking about is not that at all. The earth has produced life, and life is also changing the earth. The current earth environment is actually the result of the interaction between the two."If you don't believe it, let's simulate it and try it."

Supercomputers are all electric machines, and the power consumption of such a simulation is equivalent to that of a small county town, but Yang Dong did not stop the researcher.

……

【In 2008, simulators were available? Is technology so advanced?!】

【It's science fiction, what are you talking about?】

……

A newly formed planet appeared on the big screen, with its surface in a red-hot state...

In the first simulation, life was produced on the earth, and life was also changing the earth.

After that, the researcher changed to another simulation state

——"But if the life option is removed, assuming that life did not exist on the earth from the beginning, then after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the current atmospheric environment, together with the oceans and rivers, will not exist, leaving only a dry yellow world. Therefore, the current earth is a home built by life for itself and has nothing to do with God."

With Yang Dong's current mental state, she had no intention of talking about or reading these things. But just when the researcher removed the life option in the mathematical model, she suddenly had a shocking thought and asked that terrible question. question:

——"What about the universe? If you had a mathematical model like this that simulated the entire universe, and you removed the life option when you started running it, as you just did, what would the resulting universe look like?"

——"Of course, the situation is still the same now. In the universe, life is extremely rare even if it exists, and its impact on the evolution process is negligible."

Yang Dong didn't say anything more, but tried to squeeze out a grateful smile to her colleagues and walked out of the building.

She came outside the building and looked up at the emerging starry sky.

From the information on her mother's computer, we can know that there are many stars in the universe. Life is not scarce, and the universe is very crowded.

So, how much has the universe been changed by life, and what level and depth has this change reached? The latter question especially frightened Yang Dong.

She knew she could no longer save herself, so she stopped In order to think, I try to turn my thoughts into a black void, but there is still one final question that stubbornly remains in my subconscious.

——"Is nature really natural?"

……

Jury room.

Han Rendong's pupils shrank suddenly!

Even his eyebrows flew.

Not just him.

At this moment, scientists from countless scientific institutions.

The two major teams, including Sijiucheng, Du Min and Shen Qiuyuan, almost showed the same expression as Han Rendong.

The bureau chief noticed that Han Rendong's expression was wrong.

"What's wrong, Old Han?!"

Han Rendong waved his hands without saying a word.

At this time, several other guests also paid attention.

"What happened? strange?

The bureau leader was puzzled:"If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Han Rendong smiled and waved:"No, there is nothing to talk about.""

Seeing everyone's extremely suspicious expressions.

Han Rendong thought about it and said:"Okay, do you still remember, in the first part, Yang Dong's conclusion: Everything leads to such a conclusion, physics does not exist. Physics has never existed and will never exist"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Then do you remember that Ding Yi said this in the last rooftop conversation with Wang Miao: Yang Dong can see further than them?"

"Remember. The clues can indeed be seen in this retrospective plot!

Tanaka Yoshiki felt that he had guessed what Han Rendong was thinking. Han Rendong:"

If I said that Yang Dong might be the second person in the Three-Body One Middle School, besides Ye Wenjie, to understand the laws of the dark forest, would you believe it?" It's even possible that she saw something more fundamental.

The director's heart tightened:"What is it?""

Han Rendong shook his head:"I don't know.At least as far as the plot is concerned, I don’t know."

For a while, several guests looked at each other.

"No way, this foreshadowing won’t be buried so deep, right?!"

Nolan swallowed.

Yang Dong was a character who appeared at the beginning of the first film.

"But is the saying"nature" really natural? Creepy indeed!"

Tanaka Yoshiki knew why Han Rendong refused to continue.

Because to continue this topic would involve strong nihilism.

Faced with such a huge audience base, it was understandable that Han Rendong sewed his mouth shut. That's right.

Even after he said it, he actually regretted it and guided him in this direction.

……

Military Commission compound.

An Dingbang was a little confused when he saw this.

"What is this paragraph about? I see that all of you look uncomfortable."

Du Min and Shen Qiuyuan looked at each other.

"Academician Shen, why don't you give the lecture?

Shen Qiuyuan nodded:"Okay, let me explain briefly. In fact, I can understand why Rendong is unwilling to continue discussing this issue, because if this issue continues to be discussed, it will easily involve physical nihilism." Whether it is physics or history, the negative impact of things like nihilism is definitely far greater than the positive impact.

Therefore, it is right for Rendong not to go further.

But as a science fiction work.

As part of the imagination, the plot requires, and we can fully understand.

Okay, next, let me talk about this plot.

Obviously, Ren Dong also said just now that Yang Dong may indeed be one of the first people to understand the laws of the dark forest in the first part, and her understanding of the content is even deeper.

The article concludes by saying: How much has the universe been changed by life? What level and depth has this change reached?

This question deeply hurt Yang Dong, and ultimately made her unable to save herself and chose death.

First of all, Yang Dong's despair was affected by Sophon, otherwise she would not have seen the desperate random data on the accelerator. However, in addition to Sophon's influence,"Three-Body" also includes deeper questions, such as If the parameters of the Big Bang were shifted just a tiny bit, there would be no heavy elements.

Since heavy elements are involved here, the"parameter" should refer to the combination of helium elements, which allows primordial nucleosynthesis to be realized, so carbon can be formed in stars, thus giving birth to life.

Such a statement inevitably involves the anthropic principle.

The statement of the anthropic principle is: If there are multiple universes, the physical laws in some universes are not suitable for human survival, and the physical laws in some universes are suitable for human survival, then since we exist and are smart enough to ask questions about the physical laws The question is, we must live in a universe suitable for human survival.

For example, the expansion rate of the universe can be explained by the anthropic principle.

The universe is expanding at a rate that allows humans to exist.

If the expansion rate of the universe is too fast and the matter is thin; if the expansion rate of the universe is too slow, then the universe will have already switched from expansion to collapse before the galaxies in the universe are formed.

In this case, YuIf there were no galaxies in the universe, there would be no human beings.

The"survivor bias" in statistics that we are familiar with is actually somewhat similar to the anthropic principle.

However, survivor bias is about survival in the continuity of time, while the anthropic principle is about survival in the diversity of multiverses.

If the anthropic principle is correct, then we are survivors, and there is no hope of finding a physical explanation for many coincidental problems related to human existence.

This is why many physicists dislike the anthropic principle.

Its extension will drastically reduce the meaning of science itself.

To sum up, this is the most essential and simple description of the anthropic principle.

The fact that we can live in this world, including the formation of the earth, is actually controlled by a hand behind the scenes.

In other words, the existence of you and me is not accidental, but inevitable in contingency.

First palm, I believe you will not forget what Mr. Yang said before. He believes in the existence of God, but this God is not humanoid.

An Dingbang nodded:"Remember.""

Shen Qiuyuan:"Mr. Yang's views on the anthropic theory are open-ended.

On the one hand, he favors an invisible hand that structures everything. On the other hand, he rejects any religious form of anthropic theory.

Just treat this theory as a conjecture.

Just like humans need to watch romance dramas, they also need to watch mythological dramas and fairy tale dramas to spice up their lives. It’s almost the same truth.

But those religions often use the anthropic theory as a tool to promote religious ideas.

This is something to be vigilant about!

And this is precisely a kind of rampant physical nihilism.

Okay, that’s it for the theoretical part. If we go on, we have to talk about natural [naturalness]. There is too much to talk about, so I won’t expand on it. 0......

Tell back the story. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The reason why Yang Dong committed suicide is that she originally thought that nature was random, but now she suddenly discovered that nature is not random, but is controlled by a"hand". of.

Thus, pure faith in physics crumbles, leading to suicide.

Putting it in the plot, because the plot requires it, of course there is no problem.

But if we look at it from a realistic perspective, Yang Dong's suicide actually solves a question.

Her death does not mean that physics no longer exists, but that she fell into the trap of physical nihilism.

It seemed to us that she was brainwashed.

But in the story, she becomes a master of physics who can see through the nature of the universe."

An Dingbang didn't quite understand the first part, but fortunately he understood the following summary.

"So that's it."

Now, he also understood why Han Rendong was unwilling to elaborate on this issue.

There were so many people in the live broadcast room, and the good and the bad were mixed.

It was right not to talk about these things.

But even if the judges didn't talk about it,

An Dingbang was still watching in the live broadcast room. There have been a lot of negative comments.

We are just some set NPCs.

The world is fake!

And so on and so on.

Andingbang secretly took a deep breath:"Suddenly it seemed to understand why in the 17th and 18th centuries, physics When learning first began to flourish, it was regarded as a heresy."

Hearing this, Du Min and Shen Qiuyuan both smiled.

"In fact, there are many well-known scholars in physics who will inevitably fall into nihilism after their research. For example, as we are most familiar with, Newton studied theology in his later years. In fact, he was also influenced by this aspect. At that time, physics had reached a The bottleneck, the inability to continue any further, can only be explained by theology in the end.

It is true that there are many scholars who have lost their lives to physical nihilism, and it is not uncommon for them to go crazy."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

It's really scary to call people who are engaged in scientific research.

"So why not curb this kind of doctrine?"

"Theories can be killed, but nihilism is like the soul. It never sticks to a certain theory, such as the anthropic theory. Many scientists approve it, but many do not. As a conjecture, it actually has no big problem, but I am afraid that some people will take it seriously. If it is taken to an extreme, it becomes nihilism. Therefore, it is not without basis that the anthropic theory has such a bad reputation now.

The farmer theory and shooter theory in the previous"Three-Body Problem 1" are included in the story, which is certainly very exciting.

But if we look at reality, it is typical nihilism. I remember I mentioned it casually at the time. Du

Min said.

An Dingbang nodded.

For this question, it was enough for him to understand.

Some things are really scary!

Especially when it comes to philosophy!

Everyone continued to look at the screen

"Hey, who is this Yun Tianming?"

"I don’t know, it’s never appeared before. The beginning of the third part seems quite complicated."

"Well, indeed!"

……

At this point, the story has been advancing for a long time:

……

【Age of Crisis 4】[]

Yun Tianming was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Not long ago, the country passed the euthanasia law, and the newspaper recording that was placed in his sight.

Yun Tianming suspected that the attending doctor had deliberately shown it to him on 4.8.

Later, the attending doctor invited him to witness a patient's euthanasia application.

That was the first case in the city.

After watching the whole process, Yun Tianming felt like a dark cloud above his head.

Instead of throwing money into meaningless treatment, it would be better to spend less money and save some money for the family, and at the same time he would suffer a few less days.

Just as he was preparing to submit his euthanasia declaration.

His college classmate Hu Wen came to visit him.

And gave him a bank card worth three million.

Because Hu Wen was inspired by Yun Tianming and used grass to make drinks with a natural taste.

Once launched, it took the market by storm.

Even Huiyuan wants to acquire his company

——"Go to hell! I'm not selling it! Hu

Wen said with a smile.

……

【？？！】

【Did Lu Shen accept the advertisement?】

【Soft wide and hard planting! ?】

【Don't have the money? Just go fuck yourself?】

【Whatever Huiyuan gives, I will give ten times as much as Coke!】

……

However, this huge sum of money is of little use to Yun Tianming.

His cancer cells had spread throughout his body and he was hopeless.

In the words of the old hospital director

——"Young people, cure immortal diseases, Buddha saves destined people."

Yun Tianming's heart was completely cold.When he came, he was completely calm, and he submitted an application for euthanasia that afternoon.

But what to do with the money?

He wanted to travel around the world on a luxury yacht, but his physical condition did not allow it.

Share it with your family?

Forget it, the hospital in charge was actually my sister's friend, and he did deliberately show Yun Tianming that report, including taking him to see the euthanasia process.

In the final analysis, it was still a matter of money...

Now that he had died according to her wish, he felt that he no longer owed her anything.

As he thought about it, Yun Tianming couldn't help but think of the beautiful girl by the lake - Cheng Xin.

For some reason, he thought of her more and more these days.……
