Description

I’ve been covering the Three Body Problem book series on this channel for quite some time now. This video will contain major spoilers for Cixin Liu’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past Trilogy. The cosmos and its inhabitants throughout most of the series remains mysterious, but eventually more about the nature of the universe and those who live it is revealed, much of what we learn only adds to the cosmic dread at already permeates much of the series. The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy by Cixin Liu paints a picture of cosmic civilization that is dark, lonely, and terrifying. A universe where infant civilizations on young worlds might call out into the darkness seeking reprieve from the seemingly endless cosmic loneliness only to find that they have revealed themselves to a hunter in the dark, whose weapon is now squarely focused upon them. This is the reality of life within the dark forest, but there are some who master this universe. In this video we will discuss the various civilizations and groups known to inhabit Cixin’s Liu’s universe.

I'm almost 40, work 6 days a week, own a home, have a wife, and have several hobbies, so I have virtually no time to read (or listen to audio books) anymore. I really appreciate these thoughtful, illustrative synopsis of new sci-fi that I otherwise wouldn't get to enjoy. Thank you Quinn!

I'm almost 200, work 7 moons, own a star system, and have a mate with many hobbys. Living in Andromeda makes it hard to get youtube from earth, even with a space antenna. But when I do, I'm happy to get this channel.

One detail about Singer that always gets me is that if you look at the times listed for each chapter you realize that a dual vector foil had already arrived in our solar system by the time Singer sent one - we'd been flattened in Bunker year 66, his foil was sent in Bunker year 67. The light from the event simply hadn't reached Singer yet, and his supervisor mentions that dual vector foils were already used throughout the cosmos which is why they gave no thought to sending one out. It really shows the mundane nature of the Dark Forest for these advanced species. I'm so glad that Quinn discussed the microcosmos in the unfolded microcosmos, that was one of the most darkly funny moments in the books. Humans are probably just as guilty of destroying microcosmos in our own physics experiments without even realizing it.

I was taken aback when Singer just threw the vector foil at the solar system like it was nothing and meant absolutely nothing to him. Meanwhile back in the solar system chaos. Remembering now as a kid when i terrorized ant hills without any care in the world really puts things in perspective for me.

I’m almost infinite years old. Work omnipresently, own a universe, have a wife, and possess infinite cosmic hobbies, so I have virtually no time (and infinite time technically). Reading books while existing outside of space and time is a bit of a drag so I definitively appreciate you posting these videos. Keep up the great work pal!!🎉

The most bone chilling moment in the entire series for me is when Singer just casually says "oh wait, a photoid won't work on that target due to the structure of their solar system, I'll need clearance for a dimensional strike." Which, of course, he extremely easily obtains. The solar system's doom boiled down to a simple bureaucratic procedure. Of course, I always suspected that the bunker project was foolish- that there's no way aliens that advanced wouldn't have some sort of contingency for that, but still.

I am older than time itself, and I have yet to be born, I work the fabric of all reality, and have an infinite amount of wives and husbands, yet none at all, so I have both infinite time, yet no time at all to read, although I have already known every story that will ever be told, so I appreciate your work to compile these videos that I may watch them before they have ever been concieved of.

I’m 2 months old, poop myself constantly, and live almost entirely in a stroller or a crib. Not having the manually dexterity to use a phone or computer makes it really difficult to stay up to date, so I really appreciate this synopsis.
