This book "True and False" contains all kinds of strange mysteries in the world, and it seems that the truth cannot be found.
For example, humans have suggested that chickens may be mutations of dinosaurs.
When a chicken is placed on a plate or served on the dining table, it seems difficult to connect it with the dinosaurs that once dominated the earth. But when you see the chickens that are raised in the mountains, you may really be able to find the shadow of dinosaurs in them.
It's not just chickens, but also fish, ants, even planktons that only live for one day, and various creatures known to mankind. It seems that they have a history of tens of thousands of years.
Just as the earth changes, these species also change. They are not extinct, but continue to survive in a way that adapts to the earth.
In fact, the earth has existed for billions of years, and humans have only appeared for a few thousand years. If you want to know the whole picture of the earth in this short period of time, it is like looking at the sky through a tube. To put it bluntly, you are overestimating your capabilities.
It is known that there are about 50 million species in the world, but humans are the latest species to originate. Although humans seem to have mastered some civilizations, they think they are the masters of the world and the top of the food chain.
But abandon those so-called weapons, bacteria and other civilizations. In front of nature, human beings are not even as small as a grain of sand.
For example, a tree can be pruned under human intervention. However, in a suitable season and temperature, they can be reborn, and the broken branches can grow back and become more lush than before.
is another example of and . After being artificially truncated, it can be reborn again.
As for human beings, if they are cut off, they will be cut off. Without the intervention of those antibiotics and various drugs, there will be only one result in the end, death.
It is precisely for this reason that human beings are crazy about discovering the secrets of the world.
Just like Qin Shihuang wanted to find the elixir of immortality, human beings also hope that their life span is not only a few decades, and they are not willing to face the disease after old age and being unable to take care of themselves. The original intention of
's exploration is good, but when it is done, it runs counter to the original intention.
In 1907, Leo, Baekeland extracted a substance, plastic, from petroleum . The invention of
is indeed great. It has been applied to all walks of life. However, due to excessive abuse by humans, the entire world has suddenly become a world of plastic.
There are plastic products everywhere on land and in the ocean, and there is plastic garbage everywhere.
Not only animals on land and in the ocean are suffering from it, but humans themselves are also forced to taste the consequences.
Scientists have discovered that no matter what kind of food you eat, even if it is organic rice worth hundreds of yuan per pound, plastic microparticles will be found in your excrement.
In other words, today's society is full of technology and hard work.
However, human beings still do not know how to change. On the one hand, they propose environmental protection, but on the other hand, they increase pollution.
For example, if the nuclear weapons created by humans are touched at close range, the whole person's immune system will collapse, and no matter how advanced the medical equipment is, they cannot prevent the arrival of death. What is even more sad and painful is that human beings are facing uncontrollable pain and death in an extremely awake state.
The emergence of nuclear weapons did stop Japan's madness and killing, but what was the purpose of the nuclear weapons after that?
for world peace? To maintain world peace?
In 2022, the war between Russia and Ukraine has already devastated the two countries. It is unimaginable that if nuclear weapons are used for the final victory in the end, what kind of disaster will the entire world be in?
"Real and Fake" is actually not only raising questions and answering those imaginative questions, but is really reminding mankind that a civilized society is not aimed at destroying the entire world. Human beings need civilization, and civilization is based on the peaceful coexistence of thousands of species in the world.
This world does not need war, nor does it need human selfish civilization.
