Three Body

Post by Kai lord »

Chinese version of Independence Day, based on the system of Celestial pole star and the Dark forest hypothesis.

Is this based on Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" (Chinese: 三体; lit. 'Three-Body') ?
“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

Yes, btw, I made a mistake. the star system is Alpha centauri rather than polaris. (both are triple star systems though)

The Three Body Problem, an interesting science-fiction novel by Liu Cixin.
