Therefore, humans are the type of animals that can best adapt to and transform the environment and take advantage of laws, and they have gradually evolved into what they are now. The development of human civilization is completely self-consistent.

The reason why humans build houses is to solve the problems of safe living and material storage. Humans carve on stone walls to pass on knowledge to the next generation. Human beings can also transfer knowledge through language, and the knowledge of many primitive tribes continues to this day through oral transmission.

Humans also invented sheepskin scrolls, bamboo slips, and oracle bone inscriptions, which solved the problem of dissemination of knowledge. After all, we could not always take people to study in caves. Finally, low-cost and efficient papermaking technology was invented. Although the methods are different, the purpose is the same. It is the same as the knowledge in genes, which is to promote survival and development.

By extension, it is conceivable that some single-cell organisms in the ancient ocean originally lived near submarine volcanoes. There were available materials and energy around them, so they gradually occupied this area through self-replication.

When the "population" reached saturation, some organisms began to look for new energy sources and habitable places, so they discovered that cosmic rays from above have light energy, but the light energy is different from the thermal energy of volcanoes and cannot be directly utilized.

then what should we do? After countless generations of mutation and exploration, a creature finally acquired a chemical that can harness light energy, which we now know as chlorophyll.

Because the way chlorophyll works is so complex, it is difficult for today's human technology to truly understand its working principle. Then someone jumped out and suspected that a "Creator" had given the creature this "secret formula".

But in fact there are not that many secrets. From an evolutionary perspective, organisms adopt an "exhaustive method", that is, as long as they try enough times, they can always discover this chemical substance.

But we cannot deny the subjectivity of organisms, because judging from various evidences, organisms do not conduct experiments blindly, but are guided.

There is reason to believe that this primitive chemical factory knew whether the chemicals it evolved fulfilled the desired function. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, if it doesn't fit, just replace it instead of putting it together haphazardly. In the end, photosynthesis completely changed the earth's environment, allowing the area of ​​biological activity to extend from near submarine craters to every corner of the earth.

Zhang Lan wonders if everyone has a dream to travel into space? At least Zhang Lan has it. Why does he have this idea? Maybe in essence, we are still the single cells exploring the unknown, but after hundreds of millions of years, we have bodies, thoughts, and can express ourselves. When we step out of the earth and fly into the universe, we actually do it for survival and reproduction.

For example, going to the universe to mine, colonize the universe, and explore the unknown. The final result of doing these things is to use all available materials and laws in the environment.

Otherwise, mankind will face fatal problems such as solar energy depletion, earth resource depletion, earth pollution or being unsuitable for human survival. Think about it, how is this different from those single-celled organisms that worry about fatal problems such as volcano depletion, lack of chemicals, and accumulation of toxins?

Then some people will say that whether humans or single-celled organisms are all living things, is it possible that the first living things were created by the "Creator"? What made them change from inorganic matter to organic matter, and then brought them with them? What about the mission of “survive and reproduce”? This issue is indeed a bit complicated.

Let’s first discuss the first half: Can inorganic substances become organic substances? The answer is yes.

Through many experiments, scientists have been able to synthesize essential substances such as amino acids and nucleotides required for life.

Moreover, the ancient earth was full of simple organic compounds such as methane. Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, these organic compounds can be easily combined into complex organic compounds.

So who gave these organic substances their "mission"? Now, it's time to get to the point. Yes, it's the "law". What is the law? When a self-consistent rule appears, the matter that follows this rule will evolve spontaneously until all possibilities of this law become invalid.

For example, everyone knows that the shapes of patterns are ever-changing, but in fact, planar topological structures are limited, with only 25 types. This is a conclusion reached after in-depth study of topology, but in fact, the ancients have known for a long time .

Why is it limited? Because there are limits to how a two-dimensional plane can stretch. In the beginning, each change can lead to the emergence of a new variety, but when the changes reach a sufficient order of magnitude, there will be a large number of duplications, and eventually all varieties will be discovered.

The ancients went through thousands of explorations and finally discovered that there are only so many kinds, and all the possibilities of the laws have been discovered.

Fortunately, the basic substance that makes up us, nucleotide, is not a two-dimensional object. Due to its continuous combination, new substances are constantly produced. Finally, a self-replicating species emerged, one that can serve itself and transform various substances into itself. Tools of service, and finally produce the "body", that is, the cell as a whole, then a "life" is born.

From this perspective, the emergence of life follows laws and is driven by laws. It is precisely because of the law that "the types of organic matter can be continuously expanded" that there are behaviors such as "organic matter self-service" and "organic matter self-replication".

The former is survival and the latter is development. Therefore, living things have gone through thousands of generations, and eventually developed ever-changing forms, with different shapes, but the essence is still the same.

What I said before is "from nothing to something", that is, from inorganic matter to organic matter, and finally under the guidance of "laws", life, human beings, and civilization were produced.

So where do inorganic substances come from, and what are their rules?

This question is the mystery that some of our scientists have spent their lives exploring. The so-called inorganic substances are chemical substances that are simpler than organic substances, that is, "molecules" composed of the "atoms" we are familiar with.

The "atom" can be regarded as the "cell" of the material world, which is a stable individual composed of various substances under the guidance and constraints of laws. This may be difficult to understand, but it is actually very simple.

统一场理论中,定义了61种基本粒子,包括36种夸克、12种轻子、12种介子和 1种希格斯粒子。

These elementary particles undergo various interactions and eventually form the initially stable atomic structure, the hydrogen atom.

Of course the universe is obviously not made of hydrogen atoms. There are also elementary particles that do not interact easily, such as neutrinos. There are also those that can be easily separated or merged as the energy changes, such as photons.

However, atoms are still the main material structure that makes up the world, because this structure is the most stable one under the action of laws. As for antimatter, if you want to ask whether it exists, it is actually very simple. As long as the basic particles that make up antimatter exist, then antimatter must exist. (End of this chapter)
