In the quiet of the night, people look up at the starry sky, and the vast and colorful universe is like a magnificent picture, which makes people wonder: how did galaxies, stars, planets, comets, holes, black holes, and so on come into being? Why is the universe so diverse and complex? Although modern science is still relentlessly exploring the mysteries of the universe, Lao Tzu gave his interpretation in the Tao Te Ching thousands of years ago.
In the forty-second chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu said: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." Here, he alludes to "Tao" as the origin of the universe, "one universe", which includes the "two" kinds of information of yang and yin, and on this basis, "three" and then "all things" are generated. Only by producing all things can the universe be colorful and not boring. If you think about it, why not.
Four, five, or even more?
Everyone has watched movies and TV series, they are all pictures and sounds shot by cameras, and the audience can see the lives of the characters in the play, so can our lives also be fictionalized in this way?
In fact, many scientists have begun to explore whether humans live in a virtual world, and it has been studied that the probability that we are living in the real world is less than 1 in 1 billion. If this is the case, all it takes is a super-super-supercomputer that can simulate you and me, and even everything.
If you use a supercomputer to make up everything, then you can weave everything out of the three basic structures of a programming language: sequence, choice, and loop, and then build a virtual world.
So you see, Lao Tzu saw the mysteries of the world with his wisdom thousands of years ago. His philosophical reflections transcend the limitations of time and space, echo with modern scientific concepts, and reveal a deeper mystery of the universe for us.
Therefore, at this juncture of this next development, there is reason and must re-examine the essence of the wisdom of the sages for my use.
