在大约 100 年之内,人类定居其他星体将成为现实;300 年之内人类星际旅行将成为常态;500 年内人类或许成为宇宙的主宰?
500 年后的人类回忆今天可能将会如同今天的人类回忆灵长类动物在非洲进化一样对他们的原始生活觉得 不可思议,今天地球人类社会的重大事件在未来看来可能都不过是“螺蛳壳里做 道场”。
Within about 100 years, the dream of humans beings to populate other stars will become true; within 300 years, we will become regular interstellar travelers; within about 500 years, humans may become the masters of the universe. In 500 years, we shall find today’s life as incredible as that of the primates evolving in Africa.
人类也很可能在几百年内凭借技术而分化为差别极大的高级星人(starer,天人) 与地球土著人。人类未来的争端不再发生在地球的传统社会,而是发生在云端, 发生在由我们进化的不同星人之间。
我们即将成为“上帝”,我们的一部分也将化身为与 “上帝”对抗的“撒旦”。我们一直苦苦追寻的外星人很可能并不会出现,但我们在未来的星空里肯定会一再邂逅不同时间内揖别的地球兄弟。所以说,我们人类本身很可能就是一个宇宙的奇迹。而今天的你我能够预知与见证这些,也是一个奇迹。
It is probable that people will greatly polarize and evolve into super “starers” with the progress in technology in the millennium to follow. Conflicts between humans in the future will be staged above clouds rather than on the earth. We will become “starers” and we’ll turn into “God”. We may also become the incarnations of “Satan” to fight against “God”. We have been sparing no effort in hunting for aliens in the boundless universe. They will probably never appear and the strangers we are going to encounter in the starry sky will be but our brotherly erathmen.
让我们把人类在地球发展的规律同样放置在星空里,我们会发现,或许未来 的生物文明高点,依然是在那些具有地缘之便的星际,但地理与气候条件将会消 失,积累与积聚条件依然存在。星际之间,依然存在文明的高点与低点,竞争与争端依然会存在。我们的地球可能不会变成落后的“非洲”,而是成为一颗宗教 圣地?
无论如何,地球都只是我们的摇篮与未来出发的起点。
According to the developing rule of the earth, it is probable that the height of biological civilization will still be on the stars with geographical advantages. In the meanwhile, however, terrain and climate will be insignificant while accumulating effect and clustering effect will still play important roles. Competition and conflicts will still be there in existence between the stars. Although the earth may not become a backward “Africa” in days to come, it may turn into a holy land, a cradle and a starting point of human beings.
仰望星空就是仰望未来,从此人类的历史观和世界观应该上扬 45°。人类飞出地球与人类进化为星人,已箭在弦上。人类今天正处于一个全新的转折点,人类正在成为星际飞人的前夜,我们的子孙很可能在未来的几百年里就将遍布星空。从某个意义上而言,“我们”即便随着旅行者1号飞出太阳系。
所以,我们人类的未来不在别处,我们的未来应在璀璨的宇宙深处。我们的未来一定是在今日看来不可触摸的云端!
From now on, humans’ views on history and the world should be further elvated 45 degrees and looking up at the sky is looking into the future. Humans going out of the earth and evolving into starer got under way. Therefore, our future will be in the bright depths of the universe

事实上我们一直就在云端,因为我们现在就是飘荡在宇宙之中的一颗星球之上。现在的问题,只是如何传播到其他星球而已。而通往其他星球的技术也已经不是问题,实现都是必然。我们今天讨论与总结的,不过是过去的成长轨迹。或许在1000年后,将有一个“出地球”星际图,正如今天的“人类出非洲”路线图一样。“忽然”之间,时空转换,不过是弹指一挥间。
至此我们终于已经可以大致宣告,有关我们从哪里来、我们是 谁、我们到哪里去的千古之问,已告终结。我们从那里来,我们将到那里去。人类的文明发展证明,人类就是“上帝”的化身!
In fact, we have already been high up in the sky and what we need to do now is explore into a larger space. This being the case, interstellar travels will be inevitable. Since the industry of aerospace is more than just a science or technology, it will be well guided and brought into the realm of philosophy in the near future. Therefore, our research does not belong to a narrow sense of history, it belongs to the philosophical category from the beginning.
