Three-Body Episode 5

Five Stars

I am mystified at why there were so many scientists that just gave up the ghost the way they did ... it doesn't make sense to me at all. I agree with Shi Qiang ... if something is weird there is always an explanation ... in fact that is how 'science' has evolved ... looking at 'weird' things ... asking 'strange questions' then seeking an explanation ... theories postulated ... trying to prove / disprove those theories ... and moving on to the next strange thing or question. What is so scary about that? I am beginning to think it is not so much "there is no physics" issue as it is a an issue of ego ... they are more concerned about the state of affairs on an egoic level ... 'their' science; 'their' humanity; they being able to have 'all' the answers, being able to predict things etc ... even though the history of humanity and scientific evolution chews that kind of mind set up and spits it out as rubbish.The one thing that is constant is change ... the planet earth has gone from a heaving molten rock ... to an ice planet ... to desert planet ... to water planet ... the earth is in a constant state of change ... as are the lifeforms that inhabit it ... mass extinctions and the rise of new kinds of life constantly cycling throughout time ... and as for humans, in their current state of evolution, there has been countless rise and fall of civilisations etc ... this is how it goes here and there will be more changes to come both to the earth and to the lifeforms on it.Is it not a supreme kind of arrogance or even the grandiosity of narcissism to think that they (the scientists), can step out of this cycle ... that they are 'gods' and are 'above' all 'that'?So fascinating ... I totally agree with Shi Qiang ... so what if there is a countdown ... that is no reason to just go and die in a ditch ... bring it on ... cross the 'bridges' when we get there ... 'evolve' with the situation whatever that may be ... and if the human race is destroyed ... so what ... as soon as we are born we have a date with death ... just like the turkeys ... but so what ... live out your life to the end ... live it to your best ... savour the experience to your very last breath whether your life will be long or short. Who knows we could to another system, what a blood cell is to our personal human body system ... how fascinating.I was very pleased that Shi Qiang's words finally sunk into Wang Miao's mind ... god job Shi Qiang 👏 ... well done Wang Miao 👏 ... NOW we can get on to the business of finding out what all this weird shit is about 🙌.
