That's right, this is the [Law of the Dark Forest], which was extremely influential in the previous life.

"I'm grass, seeing this, my whole person is forced by the white god. ”

"Well, I was originally yearning for the incomparably brilliant universe. Similarly, I am also interested in aliens. But, as the book says. It's best that we don't touch aliens, and if we do, it's either you or I. ”

"Ahhh

The appearance of the law of the dark forest shocked countless book lovers.

Some try to think and refute, but such theories do not work.

Of course, they don't really want to refute it, they just wonder if there is another possibility.

For example, when two civilizations meet together, will they be friendly together?

It's like between people.

Although there are some disagreements between people, more people can still get along peacefully.

In addition, if the person rises to the state.

Although there are many conflicts of interest between countries, they are basically peaceful.

Even if there are various wars in this world, in fact, there are other possibilities.

The law of the dark forest seems to make sense, but isn't it a little too bloody.

It's just a pity.

The meeting of two civilizations is far from being an exchange between people, nor is it an exchange between countries.

He is a contradiction that rises to the planet and the planet, the difference of the whole civilization.

As it is written in the book.

Why was the Dark Forest Theory formed?

This is because of the "chain of suspicion" and the "explosion of technology".

Let's start with the chain of suspicion.

According to the explanation in "The Three-Body Problem".

"In an environment where human beings share a common species, a similar culture, an interdependent ecosystem, and close proximity, the chain of suspicion can only be dissolved by communication if it extends only one or two levels. But in space, the chain of suspicion can stretch very long, and before it is dissolved by communication, something like the Battle of Darkness has already happened. In a true cosmic civilization, the biological differences between different races may reach the level of the gate or even the realm, and the cultural differences are even more unimaginable, and they are separated by incomparably long distances, and the chain of suspicion between them is almost indestructible. Regardless of whether civilization is well-intentioned or malicious within itself, it becomes the same thing when it enters the web of suspicion chains......"

It is precisely because of the chain of suspicion.

So, when two civilizations meet each other, the chain of suspicion becomes indestructible.

At the same time, because of the chain of suspicion, two civilizations cannot judge whether the other is good or evil.

The reasoning yields:

One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is good or evil

One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization thinks that this civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization

One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization will attack its own

One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is benevolent or malicious towards itself

One civilization cannot judge what another civilization considers itself to be benevolent or malicious

One civilization cannot judge another civilization to judge itself as benevolent or malicious towards her

……

Since it is impossible to judge.

So, according to the law of the dark forest, why not give it a shot?

This is the explanation of "Xie Qingping", a professor of physics at Tsinghua University, after Mo Bai updated the law of the dark forest in the latest chapter of "The Three-Body Problem".

"My God, the white god is simply invincible, I didn't expect that even professors at Tsinghua University were reading books like the Three-Body Problem. ”

"Not only is I reading it, but Professor Xie is very appreciative of this book. He believes that Mo Bai has discovered a new theory, and this cosmic forest law may affect our human beings in the next hundred years, or even a thousand years. ”

"Mmmm, yes, after reading Professor Xie's analysis, my whole head exploded. I thought that the laws of the dark forest were not rigorous, but when I really studied it deeply, I realized that the dark forest may be the law of the entire universe. ”

Everyone was stunned by Professor Xie's analysis.

They didn't expect that a science fiction could come up with such a thoughtful law.

This law has even risen to the level of philosophy.

However, it is precisely because of Professor Xie's analysis that everyone has become more interested in this cosmic forest method.

"Professor Xie, Professor Xie, your analysis is really good. So, what does that technological explosion in the back mean?"

"Yes, yes, Professor Xie, help us analyze the technological explosion. ”

Everyone asked about Professor Xie again.

"The explosion of technology is actually simpler than the chain of suspicion. ”

After seeing the work of the Three-Body Problem, Professor Xie was also unable to calm down for a long time.

He didn't expect that the study of science fiction would go deeper than the content of their pure physical astronomy research.

Yes.

Just like this law of the dark forest.

Even in the entire industry, they have not fully formed such a cognition.

Otherwise, the whole world would not be able to send signals into space all the time to find aliens.

In fact, the current human world is very similar to a certain plot in the world of the three-body problem:

[Ye Wenjie opened the result file, and for the first time, human beings read information from another world in the universe. Its content is beyond everyone's imagination, it is three repeated warnings: Don't answer! Don't answer! In the excitement and confusion that made her dizzy, Ye Wenjie went on to interpret the second message: The world has received your message. I am a pacifist in this world, and the first thing I received the message was the luck of your civilization. I warn you: don't answer, don't answer, don't answer, there are thousands of stars in your direction. As long as it does not answer, the world will not be able to locate the emitter. If answered, the emitter will be located, your planetary system will be invaded, and your world will be occupied......!

Isn't it ridiculous.

We're constantly sending signals to the outside world, constantly looking for aliens, which is simply locating yourself to aliens. You think it's a search for new life, but if you follow the law of the Dark Forest, then once we find aliens, it's the beginning of human extinction.

After thinking about it for a while, Professor Xie analyzed and wrote again: "There are differences in technology between the two civilizations, and it is possible that the technology of this civilization is high and that civilization is low. Once the life of a high-tech civilization meets the life of a low-tech civilization, think about it, what will he do?"

"Try with a shot. ”

"I don't have to try anymore, I can just kill you. ”

"But, no, since the technology of a high-civilization life is stronger than that of a low-civilization life, he can not kill a low-civilization life. For example, he can communicate with low-civilization beings and let low-civilization beings get along with him in friendship, isn't that okay?"

"As it has already been written, the cost of communication is far greater than the cost of killing you. ”

"Why, it's impossible, the cost of communication is greater than the cost of killing you, I can't understand something. ”

"It's actually very understandable. For example, if you want to get a group of ants out of your home, do you choose to communicate with them, or do you just bring a pot of boiling water to you? ”

"Okay, got it. ”

With such an explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Can ants understand what we mean?

I don't understand.

If humans want to get ants to communicate with themselves normally, I'm afraid it will take 100 years, 1000 years, or even never.

They suddenly remembered the sentence written in the book: What does it have to do with you to destroy you?

yes.

For high-civilization beings, they have nothing to do with you at all if they destroy you.

As the analogy was just above, killing you may be like a human destroying an ant, with the fingers of your fingers on it.
