Chapter 019: Charlotte is Wonderful
"Tell me about it, uncle." This girl was so coquettish that it was a thriller, and Uncle Wang collapsed instantly anyway, regardless of whether he doubted that this sister had the skills of assistance and communication.
"Okay," Lao Wang Jun could only say, "Actually, the core idea of this three-body problem stems from the instinct of life and the sense of crisis that has evolved over thousands of years. This sense of crisis even originated more than a billion years ago, when the first sexual reproduction of red algae was born. We watched the BBC documentary, in the icy Arctic, the mother polar bear took her pair of cubs to play happily, one is a blue child paper, the other is a girl paper.
It won't take long for the girl paper to develop into a watery girly bear, but the bear full of charming girlish body fragrance causes the mother's uneasiness, and finally one day, the mother let out a terrifying roar, and she drove her daughter away! But his son stayed.
Why is that? Because the grown-up girl bear has already constituted a sexual competition for the mother. Although the mother will not bite her daughter to death, it is necessary to drive her away from afar. There used to be some mothers who were too virgin to drive away their own daughters, but as a result, the genes of these virgin have fewer and fewer opportunities to stay, because this is actively giving up their sexual competitive advantage, and there are fewer opportunities to get a husband, and there are fewer offspring to give birth to.
The real world is so cruel. From this example, we can see that one of the great advantages of sexual reproduction is to avoid competing with one's own genes, and to throw one's offspring as far away as possible to compete with distant genes. That's why we humans have a similar custom of marrying our daughters to another tribe and from another village.
It is also true that sexual rejection occurs naturally between close relatives. If it is parthenogenesis that does not require any conditions, it is even worse, the rate of reproduction will be extremely rapid, and your offspring will instantly become your own competitors, competing for nearby food. ”
Suspected of aiding and making sisters, she actually listened to it with relish, and interjected: "Wait, Luo Ji thinks that sexual reproduction seems to be produced by the Cambrian explosion of life 500 million years ago, so a large number of new species will appear." How did you throw it a billion years ago all of a sudden? ”
Old Wangjun: "I don't see it that way. I even believe that politics and national character are determined by geography. As you just heard, I don't know if you remember, the geographical environment of the Norsemen gave rise to bloodthirsty creatures like Vikings. Not to mention biological evolution. Even if sexual reproduction leads to an explosion of species, I will definitely ask: what kind of geological conditions gave birth to sexual reproduction? The geological conditions are the more fundamental reason.
I believe in another theory: the earth cooled down during the Cambrian period, the sea became clear, and at this time, animals with photosensitive abilities gained a great advantage in survival, the role of the eyes was rapidly amplified, and the evolutionary arms race of speed was born, and the emergence of chordates gave birth to an arms race of defense, and the birth of harder armor, shells of turtles, shells, and nautilus, all sorts of things, and protective colors, and so on.
Sexual reproduction is not very difficult to be born, in the single-cell era, some mutated cells will have a special combination fetish during meiosis, which can easily derive hermaphroditic cells. The multicellular era is also easy, at first, the algae will gradually develop a certain development cycle in order to limit the rate of production of their own offspring to reduce the consumption of nutrients, they are hermaphroditic, some mutated pistils and pistils of algae, I borrow the phrase of flowering plants, because I am not familiar with algae, haha.
As long as the flowering period of the pistil and the stamens is not the same, sexual reproduction is born. This little mutation is just a matter of the touch. ”
It's like Lao Wangjun is doing a podcast for her alone, this girl with strange tastes can listen attentively, and when she finds that Lao Wangjun is no longer talking, she can't help but remind: "What's wrong?" Go on, I love to hear it. ”
Lao Wang said embarrassedly: "I glanced at you inattentively, I felt that Charlotte was beautiful, and I forgot for a while what I was talking about, how did I talk about hermaphroditism?" ”
Charlotte smiled sweetly: "Say, the sense of crisis stems from sexual reproduction more than a billion years ago. We're talking about the three-body problem, and I can't imagine that the three-body problem will talk about this. ”
Old Wangjun: "Well, yes. Don't you think the fear of aliens is unfounded? The most obvious point is that if even the Alpha Centauri has a highly intelligent life, it is simply true. The so-called cosmic sociology in the Three-Body Problem has a fatal flaw -- the universe is so crowded that it is impossible for all civilizations to jump from a state of ignorance to realize that the universe is a dark forest, right? We humans don't realize it right now.
Our radio broadcasts are constantly releasing 'we are here' to the entire universe. Has the UN Security Council reached a consensus? Do you want to stop such stupid behavior immediately? Do you want to keep all your radios, including your iPhone and my copycat iPhone, from being allowed to use anymore?
If the universe were crowded, there would be a stage of radio technology like us in the crowded galaxy that was stupidly releasing dangerous expository information outward. Taking a step back, even if all civilizations are hunters in dangerous jungles, hehe, that's fun, suppose I'm a terrorist in Islan, then it's too simple for me to be a U.S. imperialist, as long as I take out a high-power copycat machine produced in China and threaten to announce to the whole universe the information that there are highly intelligent beings in our solar system, the U.S. imperialists will have to compromise quickly, which is too funny. ”
The metaphor was so strong that Charlotte smiled beautifully.
Charlotte: "Hey, Liu Da said, you need high-power radio waves or gravitational waves or something to be detected by alien civilizations, your example...... Meng Lang was a little bit. ”
Lao Wangjun: "That's okay, if I am the representative of the current rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council, I will use high-power radio waves to send a signal of forged address to the whole universe to empty all the main-sequence stars around the solar system, haha."
If this logic can work, then our astronomers will have fun when they conduct surveys, full of stars destroyed for no reason, the universe full of malice, and our astrology will have a completely different face. Every day I wake up, I find, hey, your picture is cracked, and a star is destroyed as if it were not worth money. ”
Charlotte finally had a blast, this may be the limit of the old king's imagination, the response of the listener he loves to see, he is drunk again, he secretly decides that even if she is really the Lady of the Camellias, he will not hate it. What a compliment. Of course, the possibility that Charlotte is a lady of the Camellias is getting lower and lower, just like the collapse of the sociology of the three-body universe in his eyes.
The curiosity and innocence contained in her beautiful eyes are a cluster of holy blue lotus flowers on a cliff.
"Monkey, you've forgotten the words again." In her mouth, the uncle's nickname was upgraded to another level, becoming a monkey, the six-eared macaque was too long, and she naturally learned from Bai Ling and called him a monkey.
Liuerjun: "I haven't forgotten, I'm ready to turn around, from this dark god that is touching to us Chinese to the light system." I would like to refute the AI threat theories of Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and others. This keyboard warrior is ashamed to say that artificial intelligence will not threaten the existence of our human beings, are you convinced? ”
Charlotte: "Alright, Keyboard Warrior, you can convince me. ”
Keyboard Hero: "The so-called success is also Xiao He defeated, some people think that artificial intelligence is so powerful, now Google's unmanned driving simulation program runs millions of kilometers every day, monkey Sailei, how can stupid humans compare to AI with such a high degree of freedom?" However, being unrestricted is also a limitation in itself, meaning that AI can simulate any implementation, in other words, AI is essentially non-existent, at least not physically, and therefore, does not inherently pose a threat to the real world that is dear to humans.
Humans don't have any opinion on AI dominating the virtual world, but they think it's cute. What would happen if there were a science maniac who had to AI simulate real life? This requires the madman to set a physical limit that the AI itself cannot break, and once there is a limit, the AI's degree of freedom is pulled down from the altar and becomes an ordinary intelligent creature.
This is essentially thinking about the so-called AI theism, and thinking about it in one dimension, we humans are also safe. No matter how powerful AI is, it is impossible to violate the laws of physics and mathematics.
Our ancestors learned to make fire millions of years ago, and it is only in the last few hundred years that we human scientists have understood that the essence of fire is the combination of fuel and accelerant oxygen. But this does not prevent the current primitive tribes and Bei Ye from happily lighting fires and barbecues in the wild, nor does it prevent forest fires from raging, and the fires that follow during earthquakes engulf the city.
This is the law of physics. There are also examples, the theory of relativity has found the defects of Newtonian mechanics, but it cannot deny the correctness of Newtonian mechanics in ordinary space-time, and even in ordinary scenarios, it is easier and more practical to use the simpler Newtonian mechanics to calculate, and practicality is sometimes very powerful, not inferior to the theory of relativity.
One of the core principles of our computer programs, discrete mathematics, is a simulation of the linear world, a simplification, a way of thinking that makes programming more feasible, and no less than a more perfect linear algebra. The stereoscopic graphics in our computers are essentially small invisible triangles, and high-performance graphics cards and displays can make it impossible for the human eye to distinguish between virtual and reality.
The human eye also doesn't need infinitely magnified details, because it's not cost-effective to waste resources. At the bottom of the physical laws there is a ceiling - the Heidelberg uncertainty principle, and in mathematics there is a three-body problem that causes the predictability of the physical world to decline rapidly.
As long as AI wants to integrate with the physical world, its divine abilities will immediately be rapidly attenuated by these two underlying laws to the point that we human scientists can understand. Super intelligence cannot change the unpredictability of the world, forest fires, sand avalanches, avalanches, earthquakes, volcanoes, stock markets, exchange rates, and countless natural phenomena and social events are all unpredictable.
No matter how powerful AI is, it has to use all kinds of resources controlled by humans to do experiments, engage in manufacturing, construction, and conspiracy. ”
Charlotte cheeks: "Hmm...... I don't understand it very well, but it looks like a monkey Sailei. ”
