Timeline correction. Ye Wenjie's first signal is trasmitted in 1971, but the response from Trisolaris is not heard until 1979, that same year Ye Wenjie responds.Thanks everyone that pointed out that FTL drives aren't technically a thing in the series. It would be more accurate to refer to their drives as curvature propulsion engines.

It serves the same purposes. That's literally what is used in Stat Trek. The warp field bends space and it's the space around the ship, not the ship itself, that travels faster than light. Technically, the Enterprise isn't actually moving when through space when it hit the warp drive.

what i find interesting is the themes of collectivism vs individualism. as the first book starts during communist china and the clashing ideoogies of the cold war, that's an underlying aspect. how humans function as a collective vs actions taken by individuals. humanity was doomed by a single individual, then saved by a single individual (the wallfacer), then undone by the collective. cooperation is necessarity to fight back but also hinders salvation of only a partial group. it takes this social study and applies it to the wider universe. the dark forest hypothesis works for a collective, but there will be individuals who break out of that mold and with their single action shape the future

On the note of collectivism vs individualism. Its also important to point out how this was portrayed in the Trisolaran civilization. Their entire world was working as a single collective. But that too was not the way, as told by Listener 1379 who said that they worked like drones and had nothing to look forward to, no art, no love, no nothing. Just one goal of advancement to ensure survival. The Listener 1379 was also single handedly responsible for trying to save the entireity of the human race before Ye Wenjie decides to go against his actions and doom the human race.

Ye Wenjie is technically responsible for the Trisolarin events - but the novel takes a lot of care to construct her reasons for doing so - which come down to the inhumanity of the Cultural Revolution and the oppressive regime which followed, and still exists to this day in China. I really found it astounding when reading this book for the first time (english translation) that it had made it out of China, given how clearly critical it is of both recent Chinese history, and current Chinese ideology. The brilliance of the series for me is that Cheng Xin is the absolute opposite of Ye Wenjie - she still believes in humanity - yet that also leads to humanity's downfall. The message I found was we always must follow the course of balance.
@Nick-zp8wk6 ай бұрын
Cheng Xin is more of a villain that Ye Wenjie. Instantly failed as Swordholder, leading to misery and death for billions as humanity was forcibly relocated to Australia. Doomed the majority of humanity by shutting down Wade's curvature propulsion research. And finally, made sure the entire universe felt her icy hand of death one last time by leaving behind matter in the pocket universe she had been living in, despite being told very clearly in the communication that they received that the universe was perfectly tuned to the point that every single atom of matter needed to be returned lest the universe succumb to endless expansion and heat death. Well done, Cheng Xin.

@p8wk Yeah heard that argument before & still don't buy it - she didn't ask to be Sword Holder, she was pushed into it & was filled with self doubt the whole time in everything she did - humanity fucked up by choosing her - so I think it's a bad argument - and the rest was her just being her. I really think the idea was to show that too much humanity is just as bad as too little.

"the oppressive regime which followed, and still exists to this day in China" You sound like one of those people who only consume info about China from anti-China one-sided sources....The fact that CiXin Liu is regarded as the best Sci-Fi author and his books are regarded as the best Sci-Fi series by Chinese people and China officials, tells you that's not the case. Maybe it's your knowledge and info about China being too anti-China propagandized, believing things that some media wanted you to believe...The American regime was responsible for the inhuman genocide of Native Americans, does that mean it is the same regime and still exists in America? The current leader of China and the Communist Party, Xi Jing Ping, and his family were the direct victims of the Cultural Revolution, and CR was officially deemed a disaster. That's why Cixi Liu could write about it and use that dark period in his books.

A small error, at the beginning of the Galaxy Era section it is stated that an FTL ship is used. This is not the case, the curvature propulsion drive is still bound to be slower than light, the time dilation that caused the ~400 year journey to be compressed to days ship-time occurred due to special relativity and traveling extremely close to, but not exceeding, the speed of light.

7:47: Not really an FTL ship, a curvature propulsion ship which travels very close to the speed of light, but time dilation makes them experience functionally no time when traveling close to the speed of light as a consequence of Special Relativity (and first confirmed with cosmic ray Muon events in 1940). This is demonstrated by the rest of the universe around them aging by hundreds of years as they travel hundreds of light years towards DX3906, and how Guan Yifan mentioned that there was a faction of Galactic Humans who are planning (have already done so?) to build a curvature propulsion drive with the intention of sending it as fast as possible to experience the end of the universe.

One of the scariest things is the Dark Forest Theory and the current "state" of our universe in the Three-Body Problem Trilogy. Contains Spoilers: SPOILERS: Our universe, at its beginning, had 10 dimensions. That's right, 10 dimensions. Considering that the author says that there are civilizations that are much more advanced than ours, some of them can literally control cosmic aspects: they don't use laser beams like in the movies, they use supernovas, gravity itself, neutrinos, antimatter, holes blacks, etc. So, our current 3-dimensional universe would be a corpse/undead of that original universe. In other words, the cosmic natural phenomena (black holes, supernovae, etc.) that astronomy can see, the laws that govern (gravity, energy, etc.) physics and matter are just the remains/effects of the "weapons" used for millions and billions of years ago against alien beings of dimensions greater than ours. These civilizations would be the equivalent of the gods or cosmic entities that create/destroy our myths. So much so that there is a civilization that lives in a two-dimensional universe that destroys our solar system by opening a portal to this 2D universe.
@kenneyjake6 ай бұрын
The Dark Forest Theory is the theory that advanced civilizations resist attempting to contact other civilizations because of the risk of being destroyed/colonized by other advanced civilizations. The reason we don’t hear from other civilizations that do attempt to make contact (like human civilization is doing now) is because they’ve already been destroyed by silent and hostile civilizations.

@@deeemess Yeah, it's a dimensional collapse, and that's how the attack works, it reduces an area of space by one dimension, so that whatever is there cannot survive in the lower dimensions. They don't stop either, and more advanced species have to find ways to alter themselves in order to survive in the lower dimensions when it eventually spreads to them, iirc.

Dimension dropping weapons were just an arms race to the eventual destruction and rebirth of the universe. It was fired off knowing that since the cork was out of the bottle(It had been used before and eventually everything would drop down to two dimensions since the effect never stops and continues to spread at lightspeed) you could use it freely against any threat that lacked the ability to survive the trip down a dimension.

@deeemess Singers race was considering moving to a lower dimension because there wepons would eventually flatten the 3rd dimension. They had also already fired other foils.

Realizing you're the reason I ever heard of the three body problem, just before leaks and other rumors of the show (I assumed then Netflix paid to pump related three body problem videos as a sort of new fangled ad program... tinhat I know). Still thanks for the intro. Agreed the show was solid as well.
