Chapter 590: Human Memes
Aliens were active 9 billion years ago, when they conquered a galaxy that was still full of birds and flowers, and their only enemy was an unknown legion.
However, at that time, the unknown was far less numerous than today, and although there were powerful Class VII and VIII. existences, due to their relatively sparse distribution in the universe, they did not need to go through a cruel war to grab the qualification to explore one galaxy.
So in the days before the aliens were attacked by the unknown, their days were stable.
At that time, the civilization ushered in a rare period of prosperity, philosophers, sociologists, and extraterrestrial anthropologists pondered the question of their origins - where they came from, and the reason why they reached such a height is still troubled - just like today's human beings, aliens have also found a lot of relics in many star systems, and there are human beings in the ruins, not the ancestors who left their homes and developed on their own in the early days, but the indigenous people, who were born and bred by the laws of evolution of the universe.
The question is, what exactly makes the alien ruins on so many planets able to maintain their independence from each other, in the same direction, without going out crookedly.
The view of some extraterrestrial humans that the physical laws of the universe determine that extraterrestrial humans are the only life forms that can evolve to the stage of intelligent life was quickly refuted, and it is clear that the existence of the unknown just shows that there are many possibilities for life in the universe, especially intelligent life.
So alien humans look for secrets from deeper laws, since genes can be inherited to maintain the continuation of life, is there a higher level of conceptual constraint - even if human beings are erased from the level of existence, the laws of physics in the universe determine that alien humans who are exactly like them will be born repeatedly every 1 period of time?
Extraterrestrial humans have actually come into contact with similar concepts, trying to explore it, they have tried to explore the laws of time, especially the causal paradoxes of time, trying to change the laws of physics in local space, and so on.
Seeing this, Cao Chuan suddenly remembered a fairly popular theory on the eve of the wave of planetary development - memetic theory, which is similar to the role played by genes in the process of biological evolution in the transmission process of language, concepts, beliefs, behaviors, etc.
Memes are ethereal, it is difficult to capture their existence clearly, and they are really influencing the development of the world, showing heredity, variability, and selectivity.
Therefore, the theory proposed by extraterrestrial humans can be regarded as an upgraded version of the memetic theory, based on the general environment of the universe, which is a meme for civilizations and races to maintain their self-inheritance.
With such memes, human beings have repeatedly reappeared in the universe, and even in multiple galaxies of the same era, the same alien humans will be produced, and on the same planet, in different eras, even if human beings become extinct, they will also reappear through evolution.
This was supported by many scholars at the time, and they then tried to prove its existence, such as finding out where the memes actually existed. What exactly is the content of the meme? What exactly caused this meme to come about? And if you can find the most ancient humans, they represent the ancestors of all human memes.
In short, with so many questions, the extraterrestrial humans at that time were searching for this answer with the idea of pursuing the truth in the most pure way, which would answer all the doubts about these hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Perhaps if the memes are mastered, the alien humans will be able to pass on their civilization even more if they modify it slightly, which will be very attractive.
But this was not much attention at the time, and if the meme was confirmed, it is very likely that such a supernatural meme was not caused by the universe, but by some kind of life in the underworld, which would also prove the theory of the creation of super life.
The research has been going on for about 5,000 years, and alien humans do not have such a golden finger as Cao Chuan's rule simulation, so every step of the way is difficult.
The evidence in their hands is getting more and more perfect, and they even found a sign of existence that they call the most ancient humans, and locked the time to 11 billion years ago, and the beginning of the birth of all human beings is probably from that point in time.
They then used the device in their hands to find the memes imprinted on the billions of strings that make up the universe, and those changed strings then affected the motion laws of elementary particles, reacted with each other, and finally affected atoms and molecules until life evolved directionally.
It's a pity that the meme is too complex, just like when humans first discovered genes, and then through the Human Genome Project, the power of all mankind was gradually cracked and even applied, and there was a long difference between the years.
They knew that finding or seeing memes was hard enough, and that it was almost impossible to go any further, so they turned to the super-life who created the alien humans.
They imagined that the super-beings looked exactly like them, but they were gods, so they made the most ancient humans look like themselves.
At that time, there was also an objective factor, many aliens believed that since this super life could be regarded as the creator of alien humans, he should be congenitally close to humans, so they would be very likely to get help in the face of powerful enemies in the future.
Unfortunately, with the search for aliens, as more and more clues appear, alien humans find that things are completely different from what they imagined, and all the clues do not point to the ethereal gods, but gradually point to the unknown.
Nine billion years ago, time and space were far less obscured by all sorts of disturbances than they are today, so quite a lot of historical truths could be seen, even if extraterrestrial humans did not have the supertechnology to read the universe.
At that time, there were very few super life forms in the universe that could override the galaxy level, and most of the territory had long been occupied by the unknown, so in terms of probability, the existence of a god from a non-unknown camp was originally unrealistic.
Yes, they found that it is highly likely that the alien humans were created by an unknown person, and as for the reason for the creation, it is probably because the unknown disappeared without a trace, and they may never know.
Seeing this, the corners of Cao Chuan's mouth curled, is it really big news, human beings are unknown creations? This would be an unacceptable blow to someone who is born with a sense of superiority over the spirit of all things, as was the case with Darwin when he proposed his theory that man evolved from apes.
To add insult to injury, it is the unknown that has led to the birth of the universe from single-celled life to mammals to apes and humans.
And he himself actually doesn't care much, theoretically humans can currently create unknown life, and this is just the history of the past, not the shackles that humans should carry.
I don't even seem to know much about it, but I can imagine that the secret of human origin is not so important, it just answers the questions in the hearts of many people.
Of course, the only thing to consider is that if they have the opportunity to encounter this unknown in the future, what special attitude will they use to deal with it? What he didn't know was that, in fact, behind the big hollow of the wave seat, there were indeed a few rather heterogeneous unknown beings who were related to that existence. (To be continued.) )
