[]Inspired by the recent Netflix series: "3 Body Problem", we present a series of 3 documentary sessions featuring the Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin. The series is titled "Rendezvous with the Future" in which he shares thoughts on 3 topics:
\n– First Contact : "Contact with an alien civilization has many possibilities. It might have a good outcome. Equally it might have terrible consequences. Any child knows not to open the door to strangers. They know not to greet strangers casually. This is a matter of common sense." \u2014\u2009Liu Cixin
\n– Voyage to the Stars: "I think if humans want to survive, our only choice is to expand our living space in the universe. Like H.G. Wells once said: Human beings will either fill the universe or perish completely. There is no other choice." \u2014\u2009Liu Cixin
\n– Becoming a SuperCivilization: "The characteristics of a supercivilization are that it uses technology to enhance its evolution to become a more powerful species. Second, the energy that a supercivilization can use must be really huge. Third, it must have gone a long way on this path of understanding the laws of the universe. But a technologically advanced supercivilization cannot be a civilization with only ideas. It must have left its own mark on the universe. It must have spread to places of considerable distance." – Liu Cixin
\nEach episode is approximately 50 minutes long and will be followed by a 30~40 minutes group discussion period.
\nNOTE: You will need to register for each event separately, and will need (https:\/\/www.webex.com\/downloads.html) on your phone\/tablet or laptop\/desktop computer.
