The Remembrance of Earth’s Past Trilogy is one of the best sets of speculative science fiction books to appear in recent years. The Trilogy explores themes surrounding both the human will to survive, and the potential of mankind to inflict harm upon itself rather than band together in the face of a greater threat. Another major theme is our place in the universe and assumptions about the cosmos and our lack of actual concrete knowledge about it. Because of its exploration of these themes, the Remembrance of Earth's Past is one of the most existentially terrifying series of the modern era. I’ve covered several aspects of the series in videos that can be found linked in a playlist below. In this video specifically, we will discuss the ending of the final book in the trilogy, Death’s End. This video will have spoilers for all three books in the series.

Sophon's description of overall structure of the pocket universes started to scratch an itch in my brain. She said that there were multiple great universes and pocket universes all existing on a membrane. Then later they find out that the mass of the universe is "set" incredibly precisely/delicately to just barely allow a big crucn, and deviation from that total mass will result in a big chill/rip, preventing it from restarting. Those two pieces of info, along with the theme of the "nature" of the universe not being so natural, having been influenced by countless civilizations, across multiple dimensions of space, made me ask: "Why would the dark forest stop at just the edge of the universe?" If we make the, admittedly, big assumption that the universes could detect other universes, but similar dark forest rules applied, then perhaps the fundamental rules, including the mass limit, could be part of a "safety signal" to prevent dark forest strikes from other universes. Thought it was a fun idea.

Universe have their own physics. Once you leave universe and enter universe the laws of physics are different hence we cannot use laws of physics as weapons as intelligent life did within universe. Your idea have other flaw. The problem was not that the mass was set. It was greater than big crunch criticality. They were unsure that what exactly will be enough massfor big crunch. That is why it was important that other pocket universe makes same decision.

Remember, the Trisolarans actually encountered another universe within a fundamental particle when trying to unfold a proton into higher dimension; the "eyes" that tried to burn Trisolaran cities by focusing the light of one of their suns. So in that sense I guess you could say the dark forest theory extends beyond universes

Try to remember.. we created DE and DM theories because our laws of physics dont work on the meta scale. We have no evidence of their existence. We need them to make out current laws work. Also : infinite intropy imo is simply the result of ignoring all laws of physics except your preferred one. Unless expansion eluminates gravity etc..every particle will still be attracted to every other particle. If expansion resulted in matter/energy simply being spread out evenly...our current universe would already be a thin soup

Oh yes, Environmentalism has always been a theme in the series, since the very first installment. The Co-founder of the Threebody Organization was a radical environmentalist. Ye Wenjie read the book ‘Silent Spring’ during her time at the Red Bank Base, which was about the apocalyptic environmental disaster caused by insecticide abuse in the US. Different chemicals interact in the natural bodies and created new toxins, the unpredictable results making chemical decontamination extremely difficult. The advanced civilizations of the Universe are the ones abusing the insecticides. They use horrific and unstoppable, ever-expanding weapons of mass destruction to cull the younger races, who are literally just insects to them. However they themselves cannot cancel out the effects of these weapons, and find themselves under the same threat they put the younger races in. Ironic. Just like how humans got poisoned by chemicals of our own production.

Fun fact: the literal translation of the original Chinese title of Death's End, 死神永生, is "the god of death lives forever", a very fitting way of describing the ultimate fate of the universe if not enough matter were returned from the countless basement universes. It makes even _more_ sense if you've read the fan sequel, _Three Body X_ (or _The Redemption of Time_ in English).

It's true that eventually we (if anyone is left by then) won't be able to see anything outside our galaxy, but the galaxy itself will hold together instead of its mass spreading out to nothingness.

A lot of readers felt the same as you. When the novel was first published, Liu did respond to this question raised by many fans. If I recall correctly, he said this reflects the reality of humanity. Humans are not always strong and united; we have flaws, weaknesses, and sometimes we are too kind. Our gestures have good intentions, but the results can turn out bad.

I understand what you mean but I disagree. Firstly, she really was not trusted for the 2nd time, she just took on a responsibility that in hindsight was responsibility over the humanitys' survival. She gave the ownership of Halo Company to Wade but it was not the humanity that placed trust in her. Instead I feel as if she took on a huge responsibility either naively or out of massive arrogance and belief that she knows best. In the end she makes the wrong choise but it is discussed that it was a delay of about 34 years at thst point. In reality more time was wasted by humanity by banning lightspeed research as there are years and years between her receiving the fairytales and her awakening in bunker era. If that time was spent, already, on lightspeed research it couldve been on time. So really, the 2nd mistakes was a larger decision and her mistake on making Wade give up was not a responsibility given to her but instead one she just took on. I think her character is actually quite good in that she is very human and makes a lot of mistakes, even after she should know better she is just a crisis era human, not a galactic era human. Its also shown in the discussion at the end when they ponder whether to return to the grand universe or not

What impressed me most about this series had less to do with the sci-fi aspects and more the anthropological. The amount of care and attention given to the question about how humanity would respond to the fact that they know an existential threat is heading towards them; they know when (or at least have a good idea) and as to when and what form it will take. Throwing in that the ETA is beyond the first several generation's lifetime, but not so far out that it isn't constantly on everyone's minds. There was a time when this type of thing was something people had to deal with. In the Ancient world, when you are aware an enemy army is heading your way, but might not get there for several months or even a couple years. That really isn't something that's been an issue for a long time. There was a realism to how everytime someone was taken out of stasis after being asleep for decades or a century, to find that the world was completely different from how it was before, including society's view on the Trisolarans imminent arrival: from hopelessness to authoritarianism; a martial preparedness to denial. It's like watching an entire species going through the various stages of grief.

The idea of a contained mini-universe is sorta like what Greg Bear did in Eon novel. It involved a infinitely long, artificial tube-like universe, and the existence of which eventually was found to hinder the larger universe's evolution / ending.

I'm confused by the Trisolaris here. If they knew about lightspeed travel, mini universe, super computer etched into a proton, etc.... how do they can't solve their environment problem? I can imagine they put a blanket or something to cover their entire planet, or destroy two of their three suns
@Dr._Atom
@Dr._Atom Год назад
Put the blanket like they did when they made the sophons? Making their planet suffer from eternal winter? Sure. Destroying one of their suns in a supernova style, risking their planet destroyed in fire like in the third book? Sure genius, oh wait, you actually said destroying two of the three suns? Even more genius, double supernovas nextdoor, who doesn't want to experience that!?

@@Dr._Atom semitransparent blanket that can automatically control its shade depending on the sun's brightness? Also the star's gas can be harvested with enough time and turn into yellow dwarves. Those are easier than mount an interstellar invasion for 400 years and risk to expose themselves to other civilization. They're pretty advanced after all.

Quinn, I both Love and Hate you! I love you for introducing me to this series a year ago, I hate you for introducing me to this series a year ago. I have read so so so many scifi books, among which from your recommendations in your streams: Killing Star, Childhood's End, the whole Dune series, House of Suns, But man-oh-man nothing has thoroughly screwed my up like this series..... It was such a fun ride, that I even listened to the audiobooks 4 times since then. Can you or any of my lovely co-fans of this series recommend more books that are as cerebral as Redemption of Earth's Past series, or even something with a similar vibe and dread that is the DarkForest theory? It would be incredibly appreciated
