The Other Universes | Three Body Problem Series

[@Pit_Lord]

Thank you for your continued coverage of this series. It’s easily one of the best things I’ve ever read. Every time you cover it, I’m reminded of why that is.

[@Extender911]

Agreed - I was just re-listening to Quinn’s excellent interpretation of the series. Thank you Quinn!!!

[@aquireeverything9382]

If you have read it once, read it again. You may understand more, as I did. An Amazing, chilling, teary, heartfelt story.

[@Chazie_]

It’s certainly not as good as Iain m banks and the stories go off on tangents too much in the later books ..I’m a fan of the concept and I enjoyed the first book

[@DERIVATIVES-mh6ej]

Just one of the many things that I really like this series is how it realistically shows how polluted, abused, and ruined the universe is as a result of the rampant amount of life and civilizations in it. This series breaks your heart as much as it blows your mind.

[@stevenhetzel6483]

Aye, it takes pressure off of us and our destructive nature, in a sense, then magnifies it to an unbelievably immense and terrifying scope universally across every other species. We're not terrible, we're normal, and that's terrifying.

[@xenn4985]

Counter point. Life and civilizations are part of nature. Would you say a black hole is "polluting, abusing, and ruining" the universe? Youre applying human morality to natural phenomenon, stop that...

I finished reading The Redemption of Time last month, and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was amazing how a fan of the Three Body Problem series could have written that book in such a short time after the release of Death's End. My mind was blown by how many things the author could explain connecting dots from the original story. It's for sure the best fan made book I've ever read. I am excited for your future videos on it.

[@Will-tn8kq]

I read it to, and I feel the same way. best book ever written by a fan. I could not believe he was able to blow my mind with big reveals about the original books, in the same way the original books did. The book felt a little different than the original series sometimes, but it was amazingly good.

[@shadowrain1024]

Sophon's description of overall structure of the pocket universes started to scratch an itch in my brain. She said that there were multiple great universes and pocket universes all existing on a membrane. Then later they find out that the mass of the universe is "set" incredibly precisely/delicately to just barely allow a big crucn, and deviation from that total mass will result in a big chill/rip, preventing it from restarting. Those two pieces of info, along with the theme of the "nature" of the universe not being so natural, having been influenced by countless civilizations, across multiple dimensions of space, made me ask: "Why would the dark forest stop at just the edge of the universe?" If we make the, admittedly, big assumption that the universes could detect other universes, but similar dark forest rules applied, then perhaps the fundamental rules, including the mass limit, could be part of a "safety signal" to prevent dark forest strikes from other universes. Thought it was a fun idea.

[@joyfulgirl91]

It is fun you should write this fanfic

[@realmcafee]

going to be first, ha!

[@IndiaTides]

Universe have their own physics. Once you leave universe and enter universe the laws of physics are different hence we cannot use laws of physics as weapons as intelligent life did within universe. Your idea have other flaw. The problem was not that the mass was set. It was greater than big crunch criticality. They were unsure that what exactly will be enough massfor big crunch. That is why it was important that other pocket universe makes same decision.

[@net28573]

I like to imagine that it's a psychological simulation assessing whether sentient life generated in a simulation could sacrifice for the greater good. It's the prisoner's dilemma on steroids.

[@David.R.D]

Remember, the Trisolarans actually encountered another universe within a fundamental particle when trying to unfold a proton into higher dimension; the "eyes" that tried to burn Trisolaran cities by focusing the light of one of their suns. So in that sense I guess you could say the dark forest theory extends beyond universes

[@forrestlin9590]

Oh yes, Environmentalism has always been a theme in the series, since the very first installment. The Co-founder of the Threebody Organization was a radical environmentalist. Ye Wenjie read the book ‘Silent Spring’ during her time at the Red Bank Base, which was about the apocalyptic environmental disaster caused by insecticide abuse in the US. Different chemicals interact in the natural bodies and created new toxins, the unpredictable results making chemical decontamination extremely difficult. The advanced civilizations of the Universe are the ones abusing the insecticides. They use horrific and unstoppable, ever-expanding weapons of mass destruction to cull the younger races, who are literally just insects to them. However they themselves cannot cancel out the effects of these weapons, and find themselves under the same threat they put the younger races in. Ironic. Just like how humans got poisoned by chemicals of our own production.

[@forrestlin9590]

And the metaphor is made only stronger by Trisolarians’ own words:’You are insects!’

Is that why most products from China are laced with lead and arsenic?

[@forrestlin9590]

@@SP_A_C_E_D Well, as far as I know I’m not yet beset by lead poisoning. But you see, once upon a time, German goods were considered inferior of quality by the rest of Europe. Once upon a time Americans were known for tech theft, pattern piracy, protectionism and unfair dumping, the underdog among civilized world. I’m not suggesting it’s all fair game. But we were all once there, dirty peasants who care only about profiting at some point in history. Give the Chinese some time, you can’t expect them to change overtime eh?

Some of the scariest Sci-fi stories are the ones with a little "truth" sprinkled within. The expansion of the universe is one of those terrifying ideas that sits in the back of my mind eating away at my sanity...😅😱

[@himynameis3664]

Unless reincarnation is a thing we will all be long gone. It would be a terrifying but also such an amazing thing to be alive to witness the universe ending. We often talk about and make movies on the world ending, imagine witnessing the universes collapse

[@cdreid9999]

Try to remember.. we created DE and DM theories because our laws of physics dont work on the meta scale. We have no evidence of their existence. We need them to make out current laws work. Also : infinite intropy imo is simply the result of ignoring all laws of physics except your preferred one. Unless expansion eluminates gravity etc..every particle will still be attracted to every other particle. If expansion resulted in matter/energy simply being spread out evenly...our current universe would already be a thin soup

What impressed me most about this series had less to do with the sci-fi aspects and more the anthropological. The amount of care and attention given to the question about how humanity would respond to the fact that they know an existential threat is heading towards them; they know when (or at least have a good idea) and as to when and what form it will take. Throwing in that the ETA is beyond the first several generation's lifetime, but not so far out that it isn't constantly on everyone's minds. There was a time when this type of thing was something people had to deal with. In the Ancient world, when you are aware an enemy army is heading your way, but might not get there for several months or even a couple years. That really isn't something that's been an issue for a long time. There was a realism to how everytime someone was taken out of stasis after being asleep for decades or a century, to find that the world was completely different from how it was before, including society's view on the Trisolarans imminent arrival: from hopelessness to authoritarianism; a martial preparedness to denial. It's like watching an entire species going through the various stages of grief.

[@eamonreidy9534]

This series left me with lots of amazing questions in a good way. Did the Trisolarians and Humans ally? Who were the beings who used to be in higher dimensions? What would two dimensional time be like? How did the philantropic civilisations survive amongst the trigger happy dark forest hunters? Who did Trisolaris have a war with? Whos trade routes were near Cixin's star? How were civilisations changing maths? Did AA see blood floowing in two dimensions? The author throws in so many single sentences that send your mind racing.

[@ley9868]

A lot of readers felt the same as you. When the novel was first published, Liu did respond to this question raised by many fans. If I recall correctly, he said this reflects the reality of humanity. Humans are not always strong and united; we have flaws, weaknesses, and sometimes we are too kind. Our gestures have good intentions, but the results can turn out bad.

[@Soppaisfree]

I understand what you mean but I disagree. Firstly, she really was not trusted for the 2nd time, she just took on a responsibility that in hindsight was responsibility over the humanitys' survival. She gave the ownership of Halo Company to Wade but it was not the humanity that placed trust in her. Instead I feel as if she took on a huge responsibility either naively or out of massive arrogance and belief that she knows best. In the end she makes the wrong choise but it is discussed that it was a delay of about 34 years at thst point. In reality more time was wasted by humanity by banning lightspeed research as there are years and years between her receiving the fairytales and her awakening in bunker era. If that time was spent, already, on lightspeed research it couldve been on time. So really, the 2nd mistakes was a larger decision and her mistake on making Wade give up was not a responsibility given to her but instead one she just took on. I think her character is actually quite good in that she is very human and makes a lot of mistakes, even after she should know better she is just a crisis era human, not a galactic era human. Its also shown in the discussion at the end when they ponder whether to return to the grand universe or not

Many creatures look like they're right out of a Lovecraft story. The game is so big it would take everyone on Earth working 24/7 for 15,000 years to visit every star system and planet and moon. It's an amazing space game that I guarantee you'll find very entertaining. Funny tip, you literally have to use Stargates to visit planets. There's pictographs you have to input in order to travel to planets previously found by people. (Just like the Stargate movies and shows)

This is best series covered by this channel. Please more videos about it !

[@ckromuluss11and89]

thank again quinn, because of your videos i was fortunate enough to come across this amazing book

[@FernandoOliveira-kt3eh]

It's the first time I heard someone else interpreting the series as a metaphor to our own environment. Good one, Quinn. Once more, pristine content!

[@MuantanamoMobile]

29:00 Person of Interest especially Season 4 Episode 11, "If..Then ..Else", is some of the best TV. I can't think of any other media depicting how an actual AI or near Super human AI even in a diminished state would process info. And what a battle tween two such systems would could look like. The series starts off a little slow but really picks up. 100% recommend it. This is coming from someone who research engineer specialising in FPGA/ASIC design for Hardware Accelerated AI systems.

I just ended to listen the third book (I listen several hours a day audiobooks while doing low effort tasks ,so I heard one after the other). I don't wanna sound cocky , but the truth is that is hard for me to lost again fear. All my life I've been doing crazy stuff just to master emotions. I didn't got scared with these books. Maybe because I am aware the world is against us on many many ways. thing is , they made me feel something that I find much worse. I truly felt despair. Hopelessness. It was like those monsters in Harry Potter (dementors, those that suck your joy). I am a true believer in human progress and I love humankind. So reading how ,just like a rollercoaster, we go the wrong path again and again, meanwhile getting the anxiety produced by the imminence of catastrophe. Never in my life I got to feel emotions so strong . For me , the only way to don't fall into nihilism if you incorporate this view of the universe(is fiction but gives you a pov about the cosmos that it doesn't matter if it's a fairly tale or not) is to work on self awareness and to see how lucky and awesome is to be alive. Btw, AWESOME channel my friend. As a 40k lore junkie (no bs I've read over 100 books haha) , would be nice to hear your thoughts. It's a different tone, with a lot of over the top stuff and bad writing, but believe me when you imagine yourself living there... Is crazy donkies

[@craigsolomon1657]

Dude, you get it, it has nothing to do with loving humankind, It is a poorly written story in far more areas of the book then others.

[@matiashofmann6010]

@@craigsolomon1657 the "love for HK" was to support why I got so emotional while progressing the story and doing again and again stupid sht. On the other side, I didn't understand why I got it and the poorly written story part as well (dunno if you are talking about all the books, some parts,etc.). And it's because I want to understand your comment only, not refuting writing quality (spent over a decade reading only non fiction and academic stuff, so I lack the skills to spot literature mistakes or masterful structures,etc).

[@Cainexavier]

You are awesome, Quinn - hope all is well with you and your family!

[@tylerhughes8397]

More frequent uploads please it's the only part of my work day I enjoy

[@Dalinmon]

Love the Three Body Problem series. Cheers!

[@andylindsaytunes]

The idea of a contained mini-universe is sorta like what Greg Bear did in Eon novel. It involved a infinitely long, artificial tube-like universe, and the existence of which eventually was found to hinder the larger universe's evolution / ending.

[@Lol_Pig]

Man, your videos are so enchanting. Thank you!

[@eddysstuff]

This is the only channel of this type I know and I can’t get enough

[@guyincognito3199]

Spoke with my shrink about the heat death of the universe this evening, and the possibility future consciousnesses will learn all the same science we have in a universe that can only ever detect their own solar system. He quickly wrapped things up after that. Don't think he knew about that.

[@boiledgermanfood]

Quinn, your channel is awesome! Keep it up! Would love to see you do a video or two about the Zhang Beihai saga and the battle of darkness.

[@levape3911]

This video series is like crack

[@guatonyutube]

I'll take your word for it

[@AndrewAnstrom]

I binged the entire series in a day... this shit makes 2001 and interstellar seem like children's stories

[@Mar-vo9ir]

I’m currently smoking it lol it’s 6:10am I gotta go to sleeeeeep

[@stephenwest6738]

It actually kinda is

[@damenwhelan3236]

​@@Mar-vo9ir So... did ya fall asleep yet?

[@atomgrav6861]

Took all your videos from the “Cool Sh*t to fall asleep too playlist” and put them in my “This is your new TV” list Was getting really tired of restarting them to see it through. 👌

[@spacebees86]

I held off watching your vids on this series because I knew I had to read it first. Didn't take long. It's not often I can't put down a book, it's even rarer for me to go straight into a sequel instead of something different. Tool two months. Now I have to finish Reynolds. I've read Chasm City and Absolution Gap because when I first discovered him I didn't realize there was an order. And the ZIma Blue collection, I have my own blue square painting I liked that so much.

[@PyroManiac944]

I read this series based on your recommendation. Also... please do Hunters and Sandworms of dune like you do the others. My teenagers and I love listening to your recaps.

[@zacharygreen2423]

Your Three Body Problem series is how I found you. And I absolutely love the content.

[@anonfinally1692]

I've seen some of your videos and you seem interested in this series. Did you see the Chinese series "Three Body" and what did you think of it? Because I thought it was well done.
