The Master Races of the Universe | Three Body Problem Series



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.

  1. I'm not religious but I understand why people gravitate toward it. Nature has many laws but compassion is not one of them. It is an exception in a cosmos full of harsh rules. And yet, in the end, many races came together, and only by abandoning competition and embracing cooperation did they manage to overcome the extreme adversity that would be the end of all existence. Many rules can be bent, some broken. Perhaps compassion will be the tool we choose to wield in order to break the bonds of nature and truly transcend. Again, I'm not religious but I get it.👍

  2. I have an idea for a book series to cover. Yeah, I'm sure you've heard requests before. But, Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun is superb, and it's so deep and full of so many little mysteries and puzzles, that it would provide video material for frickin' decades.

    Just a thought.

  3. 10:14 There is no way in hell you'd get me to do that. I surmise that black holes are either gateways, or they are indeed holes that presumably your body and SOUL would fall into. If you could have other lives i think this would kill you infinitely and for good. Um id not want to take that chance.

  4. Literally just discovered this channel and I'm completely obsessed with your narrations and thoughts! If you don't already know about them, I highly recommend looking into the graphic novel, Shakara and the video game (or at least its art book), Scorn. Both are really good with unique stories.

  5. After you recommended this series, I could not put these books down even as I dreaded reading the next page. Somehow the cosmic horror gets worse and worse and yet the story gets more and more compelling.

  6. Regarding the Ultimate ships… But isn't the current understanding that the universe is expanding and that space itself can expand faster than the speed of light? Would that not make their ships unfit for purpose?

  7. I would pretty much just toss live adaptation into the trash, more so because tencent is behind it. They are notorious for blatant copyright/IP theft, that and they are controlled by the CCP.

  8. Quinn, I am just curious, have you read the bobiverse books? They are not as complex as most material you cover, but the scope is quite large and it has some pretty great alien encounters. Just curious if it has ever been on your radar.
