In essence, natural philosophy is the forerunner and foundation of the natural sciences.

Philosophy is the longest and most difficult thread in the universe...... Perhaps when humans have lit up a large number of technology trees, the philosophical tree of mankind has only taken the first step.

So, back to the original point, what is the meaning of life, what is the ultimate goal of life?

Judging from the life species encountered so far, whether it is life on Earth, Mars or Nix, genetic material is their core.

"In other words, all the life that human beings encounter has genetic material, which is the most common point."

"Can this inference be generalized to most civilizations in the universe?" Yu Yifeng asked.

"Possibly...... For the time being, we can assume that most carbonyl life has genetic material. Yuriko nodded.

"Then we can have short legs: civilization, made of life; Life is centered on genetic material, so is the starting point of genetic material the same in the philosophical sense? ”

"Attention is the starting point in the philosophical sense...... Yu Yifeng emphasized this question again: "What is the meaning of life?" I think the answer to why life lives is hidden in the genetic material, which always drives the behavior and actions of life. ”

"Our understanding of genetic material is still very superficial, and our usual life science thinks that the genetic fragments in DNA are useful, and there are so many disorganized fragments that we don't know what they are for."

"These junk DNA don't contain any genetic factors, but they are so stable that we can't imagine why they exist in large numbers."

"I have a question...... If you remove the junk fragments of DNA and keep only what we think is useful, do you think such a life can survive? Yu Yifeng asked.

"I don't know...... Probably not. Yuriko shook her head.

Yu Yifeng gestured with both hands and explained: "That's it...... Genes do record a lot of information about life and can control the synthesis of RNA, proteins, and enzymes. But there are many things, and genetics alone are not enough. ”

"There's definitely more to the DNA, and it even contains the philosophical goal of life, which tells life why it lives and regulates the instincts of life."

Seeing Yuriko's thoughtful gaze, Yu Yifeng wanted to describe his point of view as simply as possible: "Let me give you an example, paramecium you know." ”

"This single-celled organism, since its birth, will spontaneously move, feed, reproduce, these are its instincts."

"Who taught it these instincts? Genes? ”

"No, genes just control protein synthesis in their bodies, and all proteins can find their corresponding genes. However, genes give it the ability to feed, and it doesn't regulate its behavior, right? This paramecium can choose not to feed, but this is not the case, almost all paramecium will choose to "eat" this action, there must be an internal reason, that is, the philosophical system in the genetic material. ”

Yuriko was silent, she felt it made sense, but she couldn't say it a bit.

Genes control the traits of organisms, and most of these traits are specific, such as the morphological structure and physiological characteristics of organs.

But how should abstract behaviors such as "feeding" and "reproduction" be controlled by genes? Is it the result of the combined action of proteins?

Yu Yifeng continued: "So I think that the chaotic fragments of genetic material, or some of the original genes, must have some normative life instincts, and there are some philosophical views, but we humans don't know it yet." ”

"I call them ...... Genetic philosophical system. This system regulates the movements and instincts of life. ”

"Therefore, the meaning of life has been included in the genetic philosophy system, and we humans do not need to force it to answer."

Hearing this, Yuriko couldn't help but ask, "So what is this philosophical system?" ”

Yu Yifeng hadn't figured out this question for the time being, so he could only shake his head.

She asked, "According to you, what does the philosophical meaning of life have to do with the identity of civilization?" ”

Yu Yifeng said with a calm face: "I'm wondering, did life start to evolve from the most core - the same philosophical system? Just like the vast world, the infinite universe is the same physical system. ”

In other words, we are completely different from paramecium, the DNA is completely different, but the philosophical ideas contained in it are actually the same. We all live for the same goal. ”

"By analogy, is the genetic philosophy of most civilizations in the universe the same?"

"I think it's likely...... With the development of science and technology, civilization's behavior patterns are becoming more and more complex, but because of the same genetic philosophy, they are all for the same purpose or. So...... There is not much difference in essence. ”

Like the universe as a whole, scientists have long believed that the physical laws that govern the universe are concise.

The simplest laws of physics regulate the complex and vast universe. From the universe to the particles, the laws behind them are the same.

So, what about life?

Are the philosophical systems that govern all life activities just the simplest?

"In this way, when life evolves to a higher level, there is an identity."

Yuriko frowned, it was the first time she had heard of this idea, and she felt a little far-fetched, but it seemed to have some truth...... It's always a bit of a way to tell.

Yu Yifeng can only give a few examples again to prove his point.

"Let's use analogy...... Any liquid will flow low. This identity is the intuitive embodiment of certain physical laws......"

"A drop of water is made up of many water molecules, and a civilization is also made up of many individuals."

"Because of the same philosophical system, does a civilization composed of living beings naturally move in a certain direction, as if it were subjected to gravity?"

Is the identity of civilization also a direct manifestation of certain philosophical laws? Philosophical gravity ......"

His words were a bit twisty, as if they meant something, so much so that many scientists came to watch, and then fell into deep thought one by one.

The philosophical instinct that governs the movement of life?

This is the first time Yu Yifeng has expressed his academic views, but there are still some of them, at least no one has found a particularly big loophole.

Yu Yifeng continued: "According to this inference, the philosophical systems that constitute the essence of life are basically similar, so that the paths of the development of various civilizations and societies in the following areas are gradually similar. ”

Next, there is a huge trap in the development of civilization, that is, the big filter......

Because almost the same social system, almost all civilizations, are stumped by this huge problem!

Their society is incapable of crossing this threshold!

That's what it is...... The essence of the big filter?

Like, it really makes sense! Talking about this, many people believe in Yu Yifeng's point of view.

So, what is the big filter......

The answer is...... A scientific and technological barrier, a scientific and technological barrier that is difficult to overcome under the condition of "normal" social development!

One of the scientists said with a gloomy face: "...... No nuclear fusion! There is no controlled nuclear fusion! ”

"The Nix civilization, which has exhausted almost all uranium ore resources, can survive for 100,000 years of fission energy! There is still no means to develop controlled nuclear fusion! ”

When he said this, the blood on his face gushed up, and he almost gritted his teeth!

Almost all civilizations in the universe have not solved the problem of "controlled nuclear fusion"!
