Let us travel through the universe with our dreams and beliefs to experience the magic

The experience of astronomical phenomena is still full of deep memories. I still remember that 10 years ago I used to pay attention to the Leonids and sunspots, and I personally experienced an unknown object discovered near Jupiter. This is my most authentic experience of space exploration. But this is only a step in the exploration of the universe with a curious heart when he was young, because his knowledge is limited, but it can be considered a step. . . That's why I always feel a lot about films that are full of knowledge, mystery and strong fighting spirit. The effort to realize my dream reminds me of the movie Old Boy again. Are you still confused in the complicated social life? Are you still holding on to the dream of Zeng Jin? Although compared to the dreams of the old boys, the film's search for unknown intelligent creatures in the universe is even more unrealistic. Compared with the development of human civilization for only a few thousand years, compared with the age of the universe; compared with the vastness and infinity of the universe environment, compared with the insignificance and limitation of the earth, why do we not explore this close and distant unknown world?










I remember seeing a picture article on the Internet not long ago called Sitting in the Well and Watching the Sky, which is a collection of pictures about the comparison of the known stars in the universe starting from the earth. This is exactly the same as the description of the universe at the beginning of this film. As long as you watch this part, you will definitely be attracted by this film. I believe that many people are as engrossed in this as I am, and sigh in their minds: the universe , it's amazing and wonderful! ! ! If we have to say that human beings are the only intelligent creatures in such a miraculous universe, we can only say that God is too cruel to human beings! Of course, if there is a God, then human beings are not the only intelligent creatures.







This film is about a woman, a persistent woman, a persistent woman with a dream. Her perseverance achieved the final success, or finally realized her dream. It is an unspeakable, even incomprehensible dream. In Maslow's theory, it only realizes the life value of the highest self, and there is not much other interests and rights to obtain, and it is also attacked and excluded by various interest groups. Because of her persistent beliefs, those people feel threatened and scared, especially those who have a similar research direction as the heroine. I remember that in the film, the actor asked such a question for himself and for her in his heart: Are you a noble person? This is a very social concept or life purpose question. Ellie's answer is simple and realistic: She only believes in science and seeks the truth. If it is said that the life of seeking truth from facts is just Ellie's idealism, can individuals think so: do most people live in an illusory realism?







I remember when Ellie's leadership canceled her project somewhere about finding alien civilizations in the universe, they had a big fight. The leader said it was for her good, but Ellie said: So what? this is my life! How well said. This is her own life choice, and this is the source of her own life value and happiness. To cancel the source of her pleasure for her own good, such a ridiculous logic, apart from the explanations of the relevant departments and bricklayers, it is estimated that there is no better example.







Some people conclude that many truly successful people have experienced a very bumpy journey before their success, and in the end, many people say that they want to thank those who gave them frustration or trouble on the way to growth. And this film also took such a route. If it weren't for the greed of Ellie's leadership, Ellie would not have achieved the final outcome. Although Ellie in the Final Judgment could not confirm or explain the truth, she said that this was the real experience she had experienced, so she could not give a negative answer. She just wanted to tell the truth to everyone and let everyone share it together. Because there is only us in the universe, it is a waste of space. Whenever I see human beings who have such a broad mind and dedicate their knowledge and youth to the people of the earth, I always feel incomparably powerful and moved. Every time I gather a little bit, I always feel that I am a step closer to them. Although it is small, I know it. is moving forward.







People's beliefs can be different, but the goal can be the same. Finding out the truth is the direction that every scientist with scientific literacy is striving for. The astronomical phenomena and astronomical knowledge presented in this film are very intuitive and pleasing to the eye. But I believe more that when human vision and knowledge can reveal little astronomical phenomena, perhaps human beings will enter a more magical era. Interstellar travel may not be a dream! Finally, the film is dedicated to Carl Sagan, and in my opinion, it is also dedicated to all scientists who have contributed to astronomy. For an ordinary person who is very interested in mysterious exploration, such a film can refill himself with a more beautiful fantasy about the universe and the future.







Unknown does not mean nothing, exploration still needs perseverance. The universe needs all of us to explore together. Here is also a tribute to those who are still exploring the universe!









People who like astronomy, exploration, movies and dreams, recommend it to you!
