Continued from the previous text:
"The whole point of physics is not that it can reveal what nature 'is', but that it can clarify what we can 'say' about nature." Excerpted from "Does God Roll the Dice" by popular science writer Cao Tianyuan.
From the apprehension of the trailer of "The Three-Body Problem" to the stunning appearance of the first episode of "The Three-Body Problem".
This time's domestic TV series has rekindled my hope for IP dramas.
I didn't expect that "The Three-Body Problem" would respect and restore the whole picture of the novel so much.
Zhang Luyi's Wang Miao and Yu Hewei's Shi Qiang not only made these two main characters appear three-dimensional and realistic in front of my eyes, but also made the characters that only exist in words become vivid and vivid.
As a science fiction novel set in basic physics, it is not an easy task to thoroughly read and understand him.
Although Liu Cixin has constructed many imaginative fantasies for us, all of them are based on the understanding and extension of fundamental and applied physics in reality.
Just like in episode 1, when Shi Qiang introduced Yang Dong's fiancé Ding Yi to Wang Miao, he mentioned that Ding Yi was an expert in the study of macroatoms and ball lightning.
Although from the current plot, Ding Yi's role in "The Three-Body Problem" seems to be only to introduce Wang Miao, a female physicist who has passed away.
At the same time, it will further lead Yang Dong's mother Ye Wenjie out, and will further push Wang Miao to the dangerous situation of "physics does not exist".
But in fact, the ball lightning and macroelectrons that Ding Yi focuses on are actually two very important key factors in the entire three-body universe.
In particular, the so-called ball lightning is in Liu Cixin's pen, in the world of "The Three-Body Problem".
Such a natural phenomenon, which was originally only a less common phenomenon in reality, has become a key existence with some connection with the three-body world.
At the same time, Liu Cixin used Ding Yi's research on ball lightning to create the so-called macroatomic concept.
Ball lightning, a phenomenon that may be a natural phenomenon, remains a very important part of urban legends to this day.
Even because of its infrequent and unpredictable nature, the scientific evidence about him is so little that it is almost negligible.
Because of this, even some scientists have put forward many hypothetical theories about this natural phenomenon.
But many more scientists have always believed that ball lightning is not a real phenomenon.
So far, the only scientific record of ball lightning in the world occurred in Lanzhou, Gansu Province in June 2016. (This is 10 years after the advent of the "Three-Body Problem" novel).
The only time this action to successfully record ball lightning was in fact nothing more than a fortuitous event.
Scientists at the time were mapping radiation from thunderstorms when they accidentally photographed this glowing sphere (ball lightning).
If you're interested in this discovery, you can find more detailed research in the January 2014 issue of Physical Review Letters.
Unlike the ball lightning recorded in 2016, there is also a reality called "St. Elmo's fire" that is often mistaken for ball lightning.
This compares to the tragedy of April 4, 1989, when a "ball mine" was struck and resulted in three deaths.
This natural phenomenon, known as the St. Elmo Fire, is actually a cold light phenomenon at low temperatures.
And he doesn't hurt or destroy things around him like ball lightning or ball thunder.
(This article is an original article of "Hua Yuhan", and the non-"Hua Yuhan" account is all plagiarism and handling!) ）
After Liu Cixin used the urban legend of ball lightning to create the concept of macroatoms in "The Three-Body Problem".
After the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" was completed and published, Liu Cixin did not strike while the iron was hot and continued to create the next two "Three-Body Problem".
Instead, he wrote another novel based on ball lightning the following year, Ball Lightning.
This novel, named after ball lightning, is to a large extent a powerful supplement and annotation to The Three-Body Problem.
In "Ball Lightning", not only does the origin of Chang Weisi's "war" in Chang Weisi's mouth be explained very clearly for "The Three-Body Problem", but it is also the first appearance of Dr. Ding Yi in the true sense.
At the same time, there is a very clear and logical introduction to the origin of the ball lightning, the secrets it contains, how macroatoms were discovered, and why the military intervened in this scientific war in "The Three-Body Problem".
And from the conclusion that "human beings may be being monitored by higher civilizations", the concept of "three-body" officially surfaced.
The reason why the author came to the conclusion that "understand the origin of ball lightning and macroelectrons, only to understand that Liu Cixin has a lot of chess game".
In fact, it is not from "The Three-Body Problem" itself, but the respect for the so-called "Three-Body Problem" prequel of "Ball Lightning".
Compared with "The Three-Body Problem", which is grand in size, grand in world view, and grand in science, "Ball Lightning" is at best a sketch novel.
But his charm is that whether you have a foundation in physics or not, whether you have religious beliefs or not.
When you read Ball Lightning in depth, when you read that macroatoms have been discovered and confirmed.
You will be misled and believed unknowingly, and you will be convinced that ball lightning is a macroatom.
If you read and watch "The Three-Body Problem" with this trust and understanding, you will find that the "Three-Body Problem" at this time is completely different from the "Three-Body Problem" before "Ball Lightning" before reading it.
Although in the real academic or physical community, most people believe that macroatoms or macroelectrons are unlikely to exist.
But Ball Lightning's commentary on this phenomenon or theory not only explains very well how an object in three-dimensional space can be unfolded in eleven dimensions.
Moreover, due to the conclusion that the "scientific boundary" has the possibility of the existence of a two-dimensional world on the gun target.
Although "The Three-Body Problem" is only a science fiction novel, it contains many physical contents and phenomena that exist in reality.
And through theories and conjectures, these already real contents are scici-filate.
This is perhaps the most attractive thing about "The Three-Body Problem", he has a basis in reality, and there is also a foundation that ordinary people can understand.
But after putting "The Three-Body Problem" and "Ball Lightning" together, his world and dimension are larger.
Not only can he make more people addicted to it, but he can even make them believe it.
The above is my understanding and perception of the first episode of "The Three-Body Problem", more wonderful analysis, see you next time!
