The Remembrance of Earth’s past Trilogy is one of the most existentially terrifying book series I’ve ever read. The concepts explored in the books force us to consider our place within the cosmos. Part of what drives the human spirit forwards is the belief that we can continue to learn more about the universe, the belief that we have boundless potential. Because from our perspective the universe is mostly static. Its movements are on a scale in which humans cannot truly comprehend. To us, it feels stable and eternal, infinite and unchanging. Of course, we know if we look closely that none of this is true, the universe is a chaotic realm, constantly in motion. Its secrets are endless.

You made me read the whole trilogy. And it was awesome!!! Mind blown. Incredible. The concept of the Dark Forest still haunts me, and the idea that nothing is "natural" anymore, that nothing remains untouched by intelligence, not even spacetime itself, completely overwhelmed me... Thanks Quinn!!!!!!

The dark forest idea is scary because it has the ring of a real possibility to it. A great read! Thanks

Learning that we were a result of aliens toying with physics in their wars left me feeling insignificant in a way like nothing before. That was the craziest idea I’ve ever heard. Best part of the whole series

y’all got me worried about how I’m gonna react to 4th dimensional intelligence when I’m not even nearly smart enough to understand calculus😂😂

I could not sleep after reading this series. 😂 The whole "dark forest" thing is scary af.

The dark forest theory is definitely terrifying because of that sense that it could be real much the same way with Lovecraft’s fear of the unknown theme. And it’s also a fear that really has no cure for it but it does have a treatment. It’s taught me the importance of remembering that despite the fact we go into space with a lot of fear we must not let that fear dictate our actions. I mean after all if we go in chasing and fearing shadows and shooting at them we will only expect to be shot right back at but if we go and cautious and not shoot first and ask questions later then try to talk we just might MIGHT find at least a pragmatic ally.

I think its only scary if one clings to the idea that things should last forever. There is not a single piece of existence that lasts forever in a given state. Everything is born, grows, changes and dies. The temporary existence of things is what gives it its inherent value/beauty. The frozen picture isn't what is valuable/beautiful, it is the experience of that moment that is valuable/beautiful. That moment that came and went in an instant. A universe is no different.

I spent a whole month crawling through the quicksand of existential dread after reading the series and now you just tossed me back into it. Goddamnit.

The prologue of the third book which took place in Constantinople had me hooked immediately, though some parts of it didn't make sense to me until I read the later section where Blue Space encounters the 4D fragments. Then it all clicked, Helena saying "I can't go *there*" and the missing top of the minaret reappearing, it's amazing how Cixin Liu sets up mysteries and later it all makes perfect sense

Quinn, I just finished the series after hearing about it on your channel and I am just awestruck. I’m still processing that a human mind produced such a masterpiece. Almost as befuddling is how I’ve never heard the series mentioned outside of your channel! I honestly can’t thank you enough for what you do. This has without a doubt become not just my favorite book series but my favorite work of art in any form and I have you to thank for knowing it. Seriously, thank you so much.

The description of them entering the fourth dimension in the book was truly mind boggling. I had dreams about entering it later that night, and I genuinely feel like it opened up the way I see the universe. Even though it's fiction, it makes sense, and it's description of our perception of it is sound. The books are so out of this world, and yet believable, because of how descriptive they are.

This is one of my favorite parts of Death's End. The Dark Forest concept was so well explained in the previous book through the night time discussion of Luo Ji and Da Shi. There, I loved the combination of logic, informality, and even humor. Here, it's the novelty of the explanation from the ship/ring/tomb.

There was something in the scene with Singer that made me think of ten dimensional space differently.

I explained the concept of the Sophon to a friend, badly, like a person shining a flashlight into another person's face. You can't see behind the light, and you become blinded to the things around you. It was a way of distorting another person's perception of reality.

The way you explained the life cycle of the universe is incredible,I mean I've never even thought to go anywhere near that directional hypothesis.. 10 dimensions ,The Universe in the sense as a Utopia,a complete paradise
