Writer Liu Cixin mentioned the law of the dark forest in the novel "Three-Body", subverting the beautiful vision of many science fiction fans for the universe, which turned out to be so dark and violent.
When I was a child, everyone had a science fiction dream of finding aliens and making friends with them, and I believe that many people were enthusiastic and excited about it, and I was the same. But as we grew older and more experienced, it was an unrealistic fantasy to find it, because so far humans have not found any trace of aliens, not even a trace of information! Well, maybe humans are really lonely in the universe. Die alien dreams!
When he saw Liu Cixin's three-body, he suddenly inspired his alien dream many years ago. But as I read deeper, I became more and more afraid that aliens really existed, but our technology was too backward to catch them, and they were not good aliens, they wanted to destroy our civilization! So why should we go to them? Why explore the deep space of the universe?
Comb through your emotions, calm down, and drink a cup of coffee to suppress the shock. After calming down, I am no longer afraid, after all, we are using our own hearts to guess the activities of aliens, the heart of harming people must not be there, the heart of prevention is indispensable, this is our cultural characteristics, beyond reproach. We long to find neighbors in the universe and no longer lonely, don't aliens also want to find a neighbor to relieve their boredom?
The scientific and technological level of our earth civilization cannot find aliens, which also shows that aliens have not found us, we are the same civilization level, and no one can destroy anyone. Moreover, in the big universe, the idea of wanting to communicate with each other is greater than the idea of destroying each other, not only humans will see it this way, but aliens will also think so. It is easy to find an alien civilization, curiosity is always greater than fear in the heart, the universe is so vast that no civilization will threaten the survival of others, so the law of the cosmic dark forest does not exist!
Such a vast and boundless universe, the civilization that can reach the earth must be several levels higher than the earth civilization, is it necessary for such a civilization to destroy the earth?
