When I read "The Gods Himself - All About Parallel Universes", I got to know Dr. Michio Kaku, and when I read his interview, I mentioned Carl Sagan, the scientific community who popularized the knowledge of the astronomical universe and physics to the public. The chief Daniel, the director and screenwriter of the film in the last year of his life, is this "Contact in Time and Space".
In my private movie list, it is a sci-fi movie with both a hard core tone and a valuable humanistic emotion. It was not until 17 years later that Nolan's "Interstellar" was surpassed. When the heroine saw the nebula panorama and celestial events with her own eyes through the wormhole, she sighed that all this could not be described in words, only poetry (of course, the goddess Judy used her superb acting skills to express this magnificence to the greatest extent). Nolan obviously empathized with this experience, so he used the famous Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night to complete this emotional experience for the audience.
In Jodie Foster's performances, there is always that desire to heal childhood through the struggle of elite social functions. As a genius scientist who does not believe in God, she will go to Vega, 26 light-years away, on behalf of all mankind, and ask the "possible God". The technology used is a wormhole space accelerator that cost half a trillion dollars to build by deciphering the "basic principles" in astronomical signals - a technology of raising dimensions and crossing over.
Throughout the history of human science and civilization, Newton made human beings understand the law of motion, and then a young man named Einstein said that all this is not enough, except for gravity, energy and matter can be explained by time and space. Now, physics has entered the realm of quantum and multidimensional world from time and space.
Arthur Clarke said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." In the movie, humans are no longer obsessed with rocket-assisted physical methods to achieve contact with outer space, but use high-tech Latitude's hyperspace contact, it all looks like magic.
More like magic, the heroine saw the four-star civilization, the galactic cantilever, and the materialized deceased father through the wormhole. All this seems to Earth to be just a few seconds of external video, and 18 hours of static video without images brought back by the heroine.
Does God really exist?
Assuming that the relationship between "God" and man is not the relationship between the creator and the creature, "God" is just a pre-civilization, a civilization that is closer to the Big Bang than humans (assuming the Big Bang theory is true), they have solved the problems that humans have been exploring for thousands of years. The question is, they are still in contact with time and space, so what are their core demands? Certainly not the same as humans:
As long as human beings make decisions independently, no matter how high-sounding they are expressed, the underlying motive is always selfishness. Selfishness can be a neutral word here. No matter how the original heroine wanted to complete her research, she wanted to make up for the shortcomings of her childhood; Father Uncle Matthew said that people who do not believe in God cannot be allowed to go to the universe on behalf of human beings, but actually wanted the heroine to stay; religious radicals advocated to protect them The last thing he did was to satisfy his desire to destroy and kill.
As long as you are still human, the way you make decisions will be infinitely close to the selfishness of human nature. Human desires need to be "proven" and "recorded", and materials need to be touched and seen, so few people believe that the heroine is really there Within ten seconds of disappearing, he reached Vega, thinking about people, this is precisely "personality". But when people start to think about species, they have a "godhead". The billionaire who earns too much and wants to benefit mankind is the heroine who came back from Vega. The way she imagines and understands the world has changed:
"As a scientist I agree that all this experience may be false, I can't prove it, I can't explain it, but my experience is true, I have a revelation, a cosmic revelation, and this revelation tells me undeniably that we are in the universe How small and precious is there. This revelation tells us that we belong to something greater than us, and that we are not alone.”
This kind of experience similar to religion, the sublimation of the sense of destiny, the sublimation of one's personality to the godhead, is not brought by religious rituals, but by real time and space contact.
Since ancient times, religion has valued order, and science has valued power. And they all have a common goal: the pursuit of truth.
The alien civilization did not provide the heroine with any proof of existence (personality considerations), but said to her with godlike considerations: "This is the first step, it has been like this for hundreds of millions of years, step by step", and "No. The answer given by the higher civilization in Slaughterhouse is exactly the same.
This is the destiny they have experienced, and it is the destiny of mankind in the future: there is no need to "prove" to anyone, just experience, feel, go through the time of pursuit, step by step, upgrade to gods, become "Gods themselves".
