"Everyone, please listen to me. In addition to the two above, there are many other views."
As Rimbaud spoke, he counted the third finger, "Third, the emergence of intelligent creatures. We are still not sure whether the emergence of intelligent creatures is an inevitable result or an accidental event.
After all, dinosaurs have been dominant for 150 million years, and there is no tendency to develop intelligence. For creatures tens of millions of years ago, the attribute of intelligence is far less important than "strength" in terms of survival bonus."
"So, the birth of wisdom may also be an accident. After all, there are so many kinds of creatures on the earth, and only humans have wisdom."
Yu Yifeng nodded. There is some truth to this. There are 30 to 50 million species of life on the earth. There will only be more species that have appeared in history, but only humans are intelligent. This shows that the birth of intelligence is very likely.
It is also a small probability event.
Immediately afterwards, Rimbaud stretched out a fourth finger: "Fourth... the birth of modern science may also be a kind of big filter.
The Mayan and other civilizations in the Americas perished because they were addicted to sacrifices, and Babylonia perished because it was addicted to hedonism. The past China was also on the verge of extinction because it fell into the ultra-stable structure of late feudal society. Today's Europe was unable to extricate itself because it fell into a theocratic society.
Everything was taken away by the Black Death..."
"The birth of modern science may not be easy for a civilization..."
Dr. Rimbaud's statement ended here, and the scientists began to discuss and each stated their own opinions.
If one of the several things Dr. Rimbaud said is the true Great Filter, then humans may have crossed this stage and become a rare race in the universe. Emotionally speaking, they certainly hope that humans will become extremely lucky.
rare race.
The probability of crossing the Great Filter is only one in ten million at most. If humans have already crossed it, there is no need to worry anymore. Since they are already a rare race, no matter the flood behind them...
Yu Yifeng pondered while listening to the debate among the scientists. Several conjectures made by Dr. Rimbaud were undoubtedly very reasonable, and each one was full of huge contingency, which was difficult to estimate in terms of time scale.
For example, "evolution from eukaryotes to prokaryotes" is very powerful. About 3.5 billion years ago, bacteria, cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes appeared on the earth. About 1.9-2 billion years ago, the earliest true organisms appeared on the earth.
Nuclear life spans 1.5 billion years!
1.5 billion years! How many accidents were filled during this period? Without those weird and thousands of accidents, maybe human beings would still be single-celled organisms...
"Perhaps, we humans are already a rare race in the universe!" Dr. Rimbaud became more and more excited as he talked: "Perhaps, we are already one of the more developed races in the universe!"
What Dr. Rimbaud represents is the idea of optimists. They believe that mankind has passed the Great Filter and the future is smooth sailing. It only needs to continue to develop science and technology.
Of course, Yu Yifeng also likes this statement deep in his heart. He is a civilized leader. Even if he is full of ability and confidence, he does not want to face that inhumane person. The passing rate is only one to one in 10 million.
The "big filter"!
He doesn't want the new human civilization to be directly filtered out...
Of course, scientists cannot all be such optimists. There are also pessimists represented by Professor Heigl. They believe that the Great Filter is still ahead of human civilization.
In the near future, humans are likely to have to face...
"Dr. Rimbaud, I have a few questions to ask you." Heigl took a sip of water and said calmly: "How do you know that only eukaryotes can evolve into multicellular organisms?"
"Perhaps alien life will have other evolutionary forms, and eukaryotic life is just one of them. We cannot regard things on earth as common sense in the universe. There is question about this being a great filter."
"Yes, but only one of us is correct." Rimbaud nodded, "No one can convince the other without definite evidence..."
Heigl nodded. She really could not provide any evidence to convince the other party. "Second point, you said that human beings are already one of the more developed races in the universe. I may not agree with you. Do you think the civilization that built the Noah
how?"
"Yes, we humans are not even qualified to look up to the Noah civilization that invented the Noah... They are simply too powerful." Dr. Rimbaud stood up and talked confidently.
"If we say that Noah's civilization may be the strongest civilization in the universe, but... we humans may also be the second strongest civilization in the universe?"
"Otherwise, why would they place Noah on the moon? Is it really an accident? If our human civilization is ordinary, then why would they place Noah on the moon?"
Although Rimbaud’s words are somewhat self-praising, they seem to make sense. If human civilization is ordinary and has not passed the Great Filter, then why would Noah’s civilization place Noah on the moon?
Is this a coincidence or a necessity?
The ability of human beings to step into the starry sky depends largely on Noah... Without Noah, the remaining people would have to wait for death on the moon.
If it is a coincidence, then human civilization is really lucky to have discovered the lost alien spacecraft.
If it is inevitable, then human civilization may really be one of the most powerful civilizations in the universe... Noah's civilization, the most powerful civilization in the galaxy, happened to discover the human civilization that passed through the Great Filter. For what purpose, did it stay on the moon?
Got off the spaceship...
This explanation can be regarded as a kind of conspiracy theory. Is human civilization really a powerful civilization?
It's too exaggerated. Yu Yifeng simply doesn't know what to say. Damn it... If human civilization can be considered a powerful civilization, isn't this universe too rubbish?
He always feels that this statement is a bit funny, but there is no definite evidence to refute it... combined with some conspiracy theories, it sounds like it is true. This idea is really weird, only Rimbaud is so young and energetic
, only people with abnormal brain circuits can think of it and dare to say it.
Just like the ancient geocentric theory, the ancient Greeks believed that the earth is the center of the entire universe, and everything revolves around the earth! Rimbaud's statement already has this feeling, but according to his statement, it seems to make some sense,
Indescribably weird.
The scientists all laughed lowly. This laughter contained many meanings... In fact, they themselves didn't know what they were laughing at.
"Alas..." Professor Heigl smiled and sighed: "So, Dr. Rimbaud, can you tell us what destroyed our earth?"
"Is it a natural phenomenon or some other advanced civilization?"
"As you said, human civilization is already powerful, so the only one that destroyed the earth was Noah's civilization, right?"
Rimbaud was suddenly stunned. This was something he had not expected.
According to him, human civilization is already a relatively powerful civilization, which is also a relatively rare civilization. It is impossible for another civilization to emerge that is much stronger than human civilization, but weaker than Noah's civilization.
In this way, his statement was somewhat contradictory. He could only nod his head and admit it, and continue to resist.
"Yes, if it was Noah's civilization that destroyed the earth, then my statement still stands. If it was the third civilization that destroyed the earth, then..."
"Human civilization is still an ordinary civilization...Noah is just a coincidence..."
