From the number of regional and chronological story is concerned, the third part more friendly than the second number. It has a heroine as the main line, people can more easily build the entire context of the story in my mind, and a small branch, do not mind so much time on break; In addition, after the book preface, there is a chronology table, this page is extremely important because this one spans multiple time periods, when the reading is easy to confuse the time of the incident location, it provides a simple time index. I often read the time to turn back the page controls.

But in terms of scientific theory, elements of the Department for more than two than before, much more difficult to understand. Just from a four-dimensional to three-dimensional world to see the world scene, the light died imagine a lot of brain cells, can not determine whether it is correct imagined. There are those shapes space city shelter plan, if space thinking of weakness, do not imagine that grand scene. In addition to these future sci-fi scene, some of the basic theory is very obscure, like to see a high number of art students, and sometimes not see Kazunari one percent.
Something which technical theory is indeed difficult to understand, but I do not need to think too seriously, because even today take out the existing science and technology, is a great probability that you do not understand. And it is not necessarily right, after all, just sci-fi vision for the future. Not deny it, but the details are bearish, the field of vision into the larger pattern seen in the development of human development process, and the whole universe.
We might be able to get the truth.
"The universe is not a fairy tale."
This is similar to a dark forest theory, I think it may be the truth, but now human beings is clearly not think so. They are always bored exploring the existence of aliens, actively send information to that dark space of human civilization, looking for a friendly and civilized pick to give back, this behavior is simply the universe as a fairy tale.
Why should they believe an alien civilization will not invade the Earth based on the information track, this is not alarmist, look at a few hundred years ago, the North American Indians, colonists for what they did! Our civilization, once run into alien invaders, I do not think better than the Indians go.
Hawking once said, "We only need to look at ourselves we know how these alien life would become let us would rather not run into them. If the aliens come and visit people, I think the results will become Columbus very similar to the arrival of the New World, and that of Native American can not favorable. "
"Choice of human destiny is needed is rational."
This touches my summary, the book also contains the meaning. Let's talk about this, would have to bring the actress Cheng heart, because her two decided to choose the destiny of mankind, so that a dark forest deterrent to human trisomy world fails, the other so that the human dimension reduction missed the opportunity to escape the attack.
The two fatal choice from a causal point of view, they are almost human life, but also to the good woman there is a huge controversy. Here we must be talking about why she has these two powers, because there is also a local disputed.
The first is the power is turned on gravitational waves of the universe broadcasting system. That was in the late deterrence era, mankind enjoyed a harmonious coexistence with trisomy world time, humans gradually become comfortable pleasure, become innocent motherhood, with representatives on the phenomenon is no longer a man like a man, the face of your mother, character no determination. Simultaneously therewith, a first series of any of his sword Luo has come to term, any need for selecting a second person his sword. At this time the vast majority of human beings, do not like the dictator who his sword, and hope that good people to take on this responsibility, so they chose the path of the heart with a maternal glory.
But when a heart Cheng took over, the three-body gravitational waves hit the world flew universe broadcasting system, you can press 'destroy' button trisomy world of time, but she chose not to press, the result is a dark forest deterrence fails, three-body people official invade Earth.
The second is the power to continue the study of light ships. This is because the power of the company is to study the speed of light spacecraft her. Similarly, in the power struggle study whether the speed of light spacecraft, she chose No. Because she was afraid selection, the human outbreak of war in space, many people will die.
Two emotional heart selection process, there was support for the book, it was denied.
Support of people, "said the human world have chosen you, is to choose to be treated with love, life and everything, despite the heavy price to pay. " In other words, you are not wrong, but human beings, when they choose you, we must bear the cost you want to choose to pay for. Source of the error in all human beings, not a person you do not you should be a person's responsibility.
No man said, " you do not have political experience, and young, limited experience, there is no ability to correctly judge the situation, but people do not have the mental qualities required by his sword, in addition to you and what kind of responsibility do not. " Right reason very clear that she too low degree of deterrence, deterrence fails in her decision had been destined for the man his sword.
This book is both attitudes, opinions also believe many readers.
In fact, from uncertainty about the future is concerned, the process of selecting Vader heart and can understand, a pacifist, an extremist, they choose to do things that work may be the answer. Just because she failed Cheng heart, only to put the blame on her, and if Vader choice, humans may also not much better.
However, I do not support Cheng heart. In my opinion, choose a value of motherhood overflowing girl in charge of the destiny of mankind, think I felt ridiculous, safeguard the overall interests of human choices, trade-offs should be rational rather than emotional subjective results, it should be understood that survival is the first civilization a need, rather than the minutiae of the surface of those factors. I understand her choice to do next, that's the kind of situation that her character will make a judgment in, but I do not support her practice, even disgust.
Only kind of people can not afford, it is nothing but a destroyer.
"In this day and age, it is not a commendatory conscience and responsibility, two things will be too much performance as a mental illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder called social personality, to be treated."
The phrase has a special significance, it is now alluding to the phenomenon of society. I think of Wu Jing see this sentence, because he was someone called patriotic thief, this idea is very funny, they do not deny the justice of patriotism, but they oppose excessive patriotic behavior, very unfortunately, often they excessive standard only one centimeter beyond will give a derogatory label. There are many labels such abuse, such as prudish (home work hard in school), Our Lady of prostitute (treatment of small animals).
"Totalitarian just five minutes."
Totalitarian thing I do not understand, can only copy definition, reserved for notes. Totalitarianism is a country with absolute authority to do everything possible to seek social and political system of control of public and private life.
"Everything will be gone, and only death eternal life."
This sentence is the essence of this book, it can be used to do a book, another explanation. "Every civilization in history is this: the awakening from a small cradle of world staggers go out and fly, flying fast, flew farther and farther, and finally integrated with the fate of the universe" in the book the universe will continue to decline from the ten-dimensional, from ten to nine, has been reduced to zero-dimensional, that is the end of the universe, it shrinks to a singular point, and then re-form the explosion ten-dimensional universe. In this process of change, we have continued death, death is the end of the starting point.
About the contents of the book, I just write down a few points deep impression, and related insights. The necessity of the presence of some episodes (beginning with the death of magician) questioned, in some places did not fully understand, in some places there are also doubts. For example, avoid security statement released to the universe dark forest fight, why the three-body people do not? Trisomy microscopic world can expand from nine-dimensional proton into a two-dimensional, it stands to reason that the technical level is not very high? Four-dimensional to three-dimensional effect can, why can not two-dimensional three-dimensional effect?
Finally, the universe is not a fairy tale, their own humanity possession of it.
Extra
Trilogy, "three-body" the pattern of large, well thought, and gave me a great shock. I spent two weeks off reading in from work even during sleep, some of the plot and ideas will automatically come to mind during, I repeatedly think of them, and today's society do comparison, the current concerns of society and a vision for the future and so on.
appendix
1, real people into space, no longer a person.
2, in the history of each section, you can find a lot of lost opportunities.
3, no different dimensions between the dark forest, low-dimensional threat than high-dimensional, high-low-dimensional resource dimension to no avail. But the same dimension are the dark forest.
