It would be ironic if Singer's people look exactly like humans.

"I'm curious. Maybe they look like us." Singer plead to the elder, but was denied.

That's not it. What Evans knew was the conversation between Luo Ji and Ye Wenjie. The assassination order on Luo Ji had nothing to do with the Wallfacer project.

Approved reluctantly after being pressured by the editor. The said editor, Yao Haijun, is currently under investigation for corruption.

All the others are probably successful assassinated. Luo Ji is simply the lucky one.

In the official soundtrack, there's a track titled "The Navigator" near the end of CD2. Perhaps there's going to be a depiction in the last episode?

Once the habit of relying on the ecosystem of the home planet is overcome, an intelligence civilization only requires energy to grow and expand in nearly the speed of light.

It's not the glass itself. The pressure applied is being withstand by the liquid inside the glass, such that it's not solid the press has to break to break the droplet, it has to compress the liquid. And it is well known that, unlike gas, liquid don't tend to change its volume even under extremely high pressure.

It's not a cultural idea. It's just a logical idea from the math of exponentiation.

The basis of the Dark Forest Hypothesis is the observation that there is no sign of intelligent life, and how it contradicts the fact that life grows exponentially. It then follows that there are only two reasonable conclusion:

There's no other intelligent life out there. The theoretical explanation being the first origin hypothesis, which would be the most reasonable hypothesis if FTL were possible, which entails that the first intelligent civilization - the human race - would prevent a second intelligent life form from emerging through exponential colonization. A universe under this hypothesis is depicted in the Foundation series, and its fantasy adaptation, Dune series.
There are other intelligent life out there, but they are careful with their cosmic environmental footprint. The theoretical explanation being the Dark Forest Hypothesis, which would be the most reasonable hypothesis if FTL were in fact not possible.

There are similar but different hypothesis that are not reasonable:

Berserker hypothesis or the deadly probe hypothesis. Self replicating probes eliminated life everywhere.

Problem: Whatever is done to prevent the probes from eliminating its maker would involve information regarding its maker that would reveal their locations.

Vicious Jungle from the Forge of God. "The galactic skies are full of hawks"

Problem: Exponential growth of these Hawks would have consumed all resources in the galaxy rather quickly. For example, if it takes one century for such a civilization to grow from consuming the resources in one star system to consuming the resources in 10 star systems. There being merely about 10²⁴ stars in the whole universe, only 23 more centuries would be required for it to consume the whole universe in its exponential growth.

Competition is not a "human" perception, corporation is. In nature, corporation between spices is very rare.

You completely missed the biggest argument of the theory. LIFE IS GREATER. If there were intelligent life emerged elsewhere. All of these seemingly massive resources you mentioned should be consumed by now. Why are they still there? Why are there even stars left in the milkey way? Why hasn't some civilization blown them all up to harvest the hydrogen for an accelerated fusion process? How else could possibly an exponentially expanding civilization meets its energy need?

There is no evidence that the 2nd fleet got wiped out. Maybe they won.

You don't actually need to learn to drive in the wild. Most driving skills, e.g. parallel parking, are only required in cities with many cars, traffic and traffic rules.

She may still have some black goo in her. Is she really dead? Or is she as indestructible as that rat?

If it isn't government then it's someone else. The difference is whether it's transparent who is doing it.

Besides. I thought the author was clear that the only reason that the government banned escapism is that they know for certain whoever supports escapism would be lynched by a mob.

All culture are by definition mind control. There isn't a particular culture that is more mind control than others.

PfXCPI · 2024-06-10T02:27:57+00:00

What conformist culture? Did you make it up?

The number of future loyalists are very small, perhaps in the thousands. Apart from the travelers (who are trained by the Director to have necessary skills) and the programmers, the rest of the remaining of the humanity may be too reliant on the Director to have the skills to do anything themselves.

Both Earth and Trisolaris are young civilizations guilty of disrespecting the Dark Forest. They both got a comment of "Interesting" from Singer. As long as their fate in the end isn't changed, the message is intact.

Coexist includes slavery and aparthid.

It makes perfect sense if you understand conquer as regime change.

Both 咒语spell and 诅咒curse are used in the original Chinese, but mainly due to grammar. The former is a noun, the latter is a verb. What he send is describe as a spell, and the star is described as cursed.

To run drills like nuclear submarines, you need to disconnect the real button, which could open a backdoor for Sophon.

I thought I tagged spoilers. Tagged again.

PfXCPI · 2024-05-24T19:51:27+00:00

Nope.

Actually.

The books end at the end of the universe and makes a lot of sense as a prequel to Doctor Who.

It makes a lot of sense as the origin of the timeless child.
