【Preface前言】
13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang gave birth to our universe. 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system formed, and 4.55 billion years ago, Earth emerged. Through the vicissitudes of time, life arose, and natural selection prevailed, with the fittest surviving. This is the natural order, experienced generation after generation. Once the dominant species on Earth, without the support of civilization, they only existed for a short time; facing the changes of nature and the environment, species that only followed the law of the jungle eventually disappeared into the long river of Earth's history.
65 million years ago, primates began to diverge, and 7 million years ago, the Hominidae originated. At this point, life on Earth began to use tools and understand things. 300,000 years ago, with the rise of Homo sapiens, civilization emerged on Earth. Writing, ideas, skills, and religions impacted human society; survival, desire, tribes, nations, plunder, creation, war, and integration formed human history. After each stage, humans began to reflect on themselves; a large number of wise philosophers and good religions emerged to lead human progress.
As we enter the 21st century, human civilization has undergone profound changes, with many material fields reaching the pinnacle of perfection. With the popularization of education and the enrichment of knowledge, human spiritual civilization has also soared to new heights. In 2025, Earth's civilization stands at a crucial crossroads. On one side lies the potential for achieving controllable nuclear fusion in a short time, paving the way for ultimate energy and leading to a prosperous interstellar civilization and material abundance. On the other side lie international and social conflicts, causing instability. Today, perhaps every citizen of Earth needs to think and choose. Power leaders and resource holders may need to put aside their prejudices, understand each other, and work together to overcome the final obstacles, helping humanity and Earth upgrade to an interstellar civilization and move towards the ideal world that humanity aspires to.
This book is divided into three parts, representing the author's reflections and humble opinions on the universe and life. There may be errors, and I welcome any corrections.
