Who is the best geoscientist in The Three-Body Problem? The scientist power index ranking in the play

Compared with the technology of the trisolarans, the scientific and technological level of the earth humans is obviously much lower.

But for the earth's technological sky, it is also full of stars.

When the Trisolaran "Chiko" travels through space, reaches Earth and interferes with scientific research, stars fall from the sky and choose to end their lives by suicide, including Yang Dong and her mentor, Professor Manfei.

But there are also scientists like Wang Miao and Ding Yi, who, in the interference of "Zhizi", broke through the ideological cage designed for them by scientific boundaries and chose to take responsibility.

Who is the most powerful of the "Three-Body Problem" geoscientists?

Today, I will select 5 earth scientists from "The Three-Body Problem", namely Ye Wenjie, Wang Miao, Yang Dong, Wei Cheng, and Ding Yi, rank them according to their own understanding, and give their own reasons, welcome interested friends to discuss together.

Seeing this, there may be readers again, who do you think you are and can qualify them to rank?

This is just my hobby and exploration of the characters in the play as an audience of "The Three-Body Problem" and a reader of the original work.

I also want to see if I can get some inspiration from the fall and brilliance of these scientists through such comparisons.

The "Three-Body Problem" geoscientist power index ranking in my mind:

No. 1: Wei Cheng

One with "emptiness", back to basics, the most powerful geoscientist in "The Three-Body Problem"

Ranking Wei Cheng in the first place, there may be many people who disagree, are not in a hurry, and listen to me slowly.

Wei Cheng grew up with a loose life, but he had an ability to have a keen intuition about numbers and geometry, which for scientists may be a more important quality than hard work.

For mathematical problems, Wei Cheng was even able to give answers directly without complicated deduction.

The ability to intuition, which some people call the sixth sense, goes beyond inductive deduction and logical deduction.

Of course, many people will also have a keen intuition after accumulating a lot of experience, but this is the day after tomorrow, and Wei Cheng's intuition seems to be innate (that is, often said to be born with huigen).

Wei Cheng was in the monastery, under the guidance of Professor Han (the original book was the temple abbot), he understood "emptiness", and in the process of understanding "emptiness", he simulated the movement of the three bodies with his mind, and then Wei Cheng became another person, in his words: I found the meaning of life.

I don't understand "emptiness" very well, maybe the realm of "emptiness" cannot be described in words, but the process of Wei Cheng's realization of "emptiness" and the transformation after enlightenment are not the "vacuum is not empty, there is a wonderful thing in the air" in Buddhism?

The origin of the world is "emptiness", but it is because of "emptiness" that there are infinite possibilities, and it is precisely because of "emptiness" that the mind will not be closed and locked by various stubborn obsessions, and there will be endless creativity.

It is precisely because of "emptiness" that everything in life can be accommodated, including one's own emotions and emotions, and only "emptiness" can everything in life itself be truly revealed.

Didn't Wei Cheng say: I don't worship a master, I don't want to be a master, he counts him, I count mine. In Wei Cheng's mind, there were no idols, no forbidden areas.

Wei Cheng, in the "Three-Body Problem" drama, almost contracted all the laughs, like a big child, and the actor also performed very well, the third level of the life realm, isn't it to return to the childlike heart at a higher level?

Wei Cheng is a real person.

Moreover, Wei Cheng broke through the difficult problem that the three-body problem could not be solved mathematically, and proved that the three-body problem was unsolvable by mathematical methods.

Shen Yufei married Wei Cheng, perhaps in his heart he regarded Wei Cheng as a tool person, but Wei Cheng unconsciously loved Shen Yufei.

After Shen Yufei's death, Wei Cheng's crazy calculation by her side is believed to have moved many people, and the changes here are better than the indifference of the original Wei Cheng.

Based on Wei Cheng's gifted mathematical intuition, ethereal spiritual realm, true feelings of life, and great results in solving the three-body problem, I list Wei Cheng as the most powerful earth scientist in "The Three-Body Problem".

2nd place: Ye Wenjie

Ye Wenjie, without the natural intuition of Wei Cheng and Yang Dong, her life is too bumpy, she has experienced too many blows, and the experience has given her a lot of things, as described in the original book of "The Three-Body Problem": the wind and frost of the years have eliminated all the hardness and fiery in their temperament, leaving only the softness like water.

In episode 4, when talking to Wang Miao about her daughter, she said: "But she is only a woman, women should be like water, and any place can flow through." This understanding of "softness" is not much different from the realm of "emptiness", how can it be "soft" without "empty"?

Ye Wenjie's scientific achievements were the establishment of the self-interpretation system of the Red Bank and the discovery of the sun's radio amplification effect.

Although she does not have a natural intuition, she can see that Marie Curie has not entered the ultimate space of physics abstraction, and her achievements are obtained by hard work and diligence, and this insight is also amazing.

Therefore, Ye Wenjie ranked 2nd.

3rd place: Ding Yi

Ding Yi was very clever and discovered macroatoms from ball lightning.

In episode 28, when he heard Ye Wenjie say that the trisolarans launched two hydrogen nuclei to the earth, he could think of the basic principle of "Zhizi", and his understanding of the relationship between the microscopic world and the macroscopic world and the material dimension was also very deep, so he ranked 3rd.

No. 4: Wang Miao

Wang Miao is an applied physicist who built a house on the basic theoretical framework of physics, and the scientific achievement is nanofilament - flying blade. He is kind and asks Stanton if he will hurt the innocent when executing the guzheng plan.

He has a sense of responsibility, overcomes fear at critical moments, and takes responsibility.

Therefore, it ranks 4th.

5th place: Yang Dong

Yang Dong, among these 5 earth scientists, in terms of natural scientific intuition (or synaesthesia), Yang Dong is actually above Wei Cheng or at least not below Wei Cheng.

As a child, Yang Dong could see beauty from numerical and physical formulas, and from listening to Bach's music, he saw a giant building a big house on the earth (Ye Wenjie recalls in episode 4).

But Yang Dong's life is locked up by her own stubborn beliefs, and she has a basic belief: life and the world may be ugly, but at the end of the micro and macro are harmonious and perfect, and the everyday world is just a bubble floating on this perfect ocean (episode 28, Ye Wenjie).

When this belief collapsed, another belief in his mother, Ye Wenjie, also collapsed because he discovered that his mother's secret connection with the Trisolarans also collapsed.

Think about Yang Dong described in the third part of the novel, after watching the evolution of life on Earth, the last question: Is nature really natural? At this point, all Yang Dong's beliefs collapsed, and he finally chose to commit suicide.

In terms of realm, Yang Dong is not one step away from Wei Cheng, she has not yet reached the realm of "emptiness", she cannot break through the belief in her heart, nor can she control "emptiness" and use the infinite possibilities of "emptiness" to create infinite possibilities.

Her closed mind cannot accept ugliness, nor can she extend the beauty and wonderfulness of life.

Therefore, it ranks 5th.

To sum up, the ranking of the 5 scientists in "The Three-Body Problem" in my mind is:

No. 1: Wei Cheng

2nd place: Ye Wenjie

3rd place: Ding Yi

No. 4: Wang Miao

5th place: Yang Dong
