How does humanity achieve eternal life? Science fiction writer brain hole opened up to figure out this trick

(Original title: How do humans achieve eternal life? The science fiction writer thinks this way


On May 25, Yan Yuyun, 112, died. His diplomat's widowhood and the status of Missy Shangyue are envied and envied by the fewest people.

For a century and a dozen years, it was able to make death eager to wait, but in the eyes of Google futurist Kurzweil, it is far from the limit of life. “In 2020, nanobots will serve as the human immune system.” Making humanity immortal is the goal of him and the team.

From "Sapiens to Wisdom", the seven words of the best-selling book "A Brief History of the Future" also punctuate each person's desire for immortality. What kind of vision would a person be like being immortal? There is already such a prediction in science fiction. Science fiction writers have opened their brains and provided hypotheses for various versions of human life.

Medicine says: The defeat of the disease may appear "fear"

To make people eternal life, the most predictable thing is to maintain vitality through the advancement of medical methods. At present, there are two main ways. One is biological method, which allows cells to break through the fate of aging. The second is the mechanical method, which allows the continuation of the mind through the support of exoskeletons and external organs.

The life-enhancing method used by the American science fiction writer Robert Heinlein in "The Time Is Enough to Your Love" is life extension. The principle is to use the fresh blood that grows in the petri dish. When people have signs of aging, they only need to complete the "rejuvenation treatment," they will "feel like having a new life."

More than that, the broken arm "can be connected in thirty minutes, and not broken," and only "sweeping the neck, breaking the skull, rejuvenating the doctor can do nothing."

With this wonderful method of treatment, the hero Sarah Long has experienced a long life. For more than two thousand years, he has countless descendants and genes throughout the Milky Way.

Many people believe that medical advancement will make this day. Google’s Calico Company is striving to make leapfrog advances in cell biology, genetic medicine, and human health, allowing humans to undergo treatment once every ten years, allowing aging tissue to regenerate. , Let hands, eyes and brains be upgraded.

There are also many fans of mechanical methods. After 1980s, science fiction writer Tang Zhicheng wrote in the article “The Vientiane of the Post-Humanhood” that before the physical end of life, the “elderly period” was replaced by the “chassis period”. It's as natural as it gets.

In the Ghost in the Shell, all organs can be man-made, or they can only remain brains and mechanize their entire body. At that time, the body is only a computer terminal, and the boundaries between humans and artificial intelligence are blurred.

The first "Nerve Strider" that won both the Hugo Award, the "Nebula Award" and the "Philip Dick Award" described similar surgery in this way. "They changed your body fluid from your back and changed blood. Give you a new pancreas free of charge, and your liver has new tissue.” The implant system, nerve splicing, and micro bionics can all be done in a small clinic.

Uploading human minds to the cloud and getting rid of easily damaged bodies is the ultimate result of the development of the "Mechanical Law". Kurzweil predicts that this will be achieved in 2045.

No matter how you get eternal life, it will be trouble for just a few decades. Will longer life bring more trouble? Sarah Road, “The Time Is Enough to Love”, only wanted to find a quiet place to die. He questioned the children who tried to force him to "rejuvenate." "What for you, sir? After I spent more than two thousand years trying everything in life? I have seen countless planets in my life. After the memory has become blurred? After I have had countless wives and even forgot their names?"

If it is still difficult to understand, please refer to films and TV works such as "You From the Stars" "This Man Comes from the Earth".

Pain and entanglement touched countless people.

The “A Brief History of the Future” is a more social analysis of issues that may be caused by longevity: marriage lasts 110 years, and 90 years of age must still learn new knowledge. Now it is Stalin who is in charge of Moscow... These social problems are almost completely absent so far. solution. The book predicts that “if the scientific effort is won, the real battlefield will be transferred from the laboratory to the parliament, the courts and the streets, and even cause fierce political conflicts.”

Ecology says: Live with the whole planet

There is a word called "Beauty," and this hypothesis can be called "Beauson."

In Isaac Asimov’s Galactic Empire, he named a planet with the name of the mother of the earth, Gaia.

All things on the planet share an overall consciousness. Trees grow from their own generations, no more than a few, and animals need to eat as much as they need. It is necessary for rain and drought. There will be no sickness or disaster. Here, the walls will be happy. Everything will be harmonious and orderly, and it will be in the most fluid and harmonious self-circulation state.

"I'm Gaia." The person on this planet will introduce himself and alien visitors. Living together with the entire planet, human life is the whole life, and the boundaries between life and death have already been broken. There is only the conversion of the state of matter and the eternal consciousness of the whole.

This illusion may have originated from the “Gaia hypothesis” put forward by the British scientist James Lovelock in the 1970s. That is, the earth is a complex and exquisite super-organism “Gaia,” and its atmosphere, lithosphere, etc. are actively interacting. , Maintaining the Earth's climate and biological, geographic, and chemical conditions at its best.

On this basis, the science fiction writer has anthropomorphized the planet and joined the planet's "seven sins," used to create drama contradictions and created many works.

In the movie "Flying to Space", the space station is surrounded by a planet named Solaris. This planet can give humans an illusion. Like Gaia in The Galactic Empire, it is conscious and can even control people's consciousness.

In "Guardians of the Galaxy 2," the father of "Starbucks" is a planet. It hides its brain in the heart of the planet safely, exists as a human figure, and goes through "avatars" to various sacred life planets. .

“Help me, Earthman, the danger is coming to me.” Among the children's literary writer Yang Peng’s “Calling for Life”, the extraterrestrial life that the Earth’s people are struggling to find is also a planet, and it calls upon the Earth’s people. It brought danger to it.

“Put the limited life into the infinite life form” is the core idea of ​​this hypothesis. It breaks through people’s narrow concept of life and no longer focuses on the individual’s life and death. It more embodies “All things return”. A" thought.

Physics: Speed ​​enough to fight death?

The eternal life in reality is to live forever. The eternal life in science fiction works is to see the collapse and rebirth of the universe alive.

"To make our life longer than the universe, the Ï„ needed will be a very low value. Can we get such a low Ï„?" "Cosmic Crossing" is a physics ubiquitous The novel, author of the book Boer Anderson, graduated from the Department of Physics at the University of Minnesota. The book uses meticulous physics laws to clearly explain that the closer the speed of a spacecraft is to the speed of light, the more the time on the spacecraft tends to be stationary and, correspondingly, the universe. The time is passing quickly.

In short, one minute in the boat, the world has been a thousand years.

Imagine observing this spaceship from the window. The people inside are eternal. They are flying near the speed of light. The vitality of life will hardly leave the slightest from the body. They live to see the new stars burn out after they are born, live to see the cycle of the universe, live to see that everything falls into a core, and live to see the universe in singularity. An explosion ... even live longer than time itself. None of the theories broke through the hypothesis of physics, and Pohl Anderson justifiably convinced people that if they had a speed close enough to the speed of light, they would be able to overcome death and live when the universe collapsed and embrace the new cycle of the universe.

Complete the full text and look back at A Brief History of the Future. The book mentions that Silicon Valley giant Peter Till acknowledged that he wanted to live forever, not to accept death, not to die, but to fight death. Do not know if he has considered the time span of different levels. What time span does he always refer to, human beings? Planet's? Or the universe?
