    The standard cosmological model holds that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a one-time "afterglow" of the Big Bang. However, this paper points out that radiation produced by a one-time explosion must decay to an unobservable level on a timescale of 13.8 billion years, which contradicts the observational fact that the CMB still exists stably and uniformly. Based on this contradiction, this paper proposes a hypothetical cosmic structure model with a central point and an energy gradient. Th…Read more

    This paper argues that on the eve of the singularity where artificial intelligence determines the survival or demise of civilizations, "Yuanli" (the Civilizational-Level Altruistic Algorithm)—the conscious ability of a civilization to set "grand altruism" as its systemic objective, essentially a "civilization-level altruistic algorithm" and a "Leap of Survival Rationality"—will become the ultimate criterion distinguishing the survival and extinction of civilizations. It is not a subjective choic…Read more

    This paper argues that the demise of human sacrifice across global civilizations is not attributable to humanity or moral progress, but a systemic correction and upgrade of civilizational survival algorithms driven by the "De- terrence Mechanism of Causality". Based on a series of theoretical frameworks such as The Prime Mover: The Generation, Evolution and Revision of Causal Deterrence and Civilizational Order, combined with empirical findings from archaeology and history, this study conducts a…Read more

    Building on the meta-goal of "long-term civilizational survival" established in a series of studies including "The Theory of Civilizational Autonomous Symbiosis and Breakthrough under the Evolution of 3D Cosmic Matter-Energy", this paper subverts the a priori assumptions of traditional ethics and proposes a core thesis: the fundamental social function of ethical concepts such as morality, justice, and kindness stems from their evolutionary solidification of collective cognition regarding the "be…Read more

    The fundamental dilemma facing human civilization stems from the symbiotic relationship between entropy-increasing behaviors driven by local interests and the discursive disguise systems that sustain their legitimacy. Traditional research, constrained by specific value frameworks, struggles to penetrate discourse for unified essential judgment across scales and civilizations. Based on the previously constructed three-tier entropy change model of Cosmos-Life-Civilization and the rigid ethical fra…Read more

    This paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach integrating sociology, human behavioral science, evolutionary biology, and complexity science to construct a quantitative measurement framework for civilizational stability, centered on the logical chain of "desire hierarchy-behavioral alienation-civilizational entropy increase-ethical redemption". By integrating historical case studies (e.g., World War II, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire) and contemporary empirical analyses (e.g., Japan’s nu…Read more

    On the path of human civilization pursuing perpetuity, Elon Musk’s proposed Mars migration plan and the "endogenous survival" theory based on cosmic ethics constitute the core confrontation between two survival paradigms. From the perspective of the Earth civilization community, all analyses and inferences in this paper are based on interdisciplinary scientific principles and universal human nature, without being attached to any specific development model or ideology. The ultimate proposition of…Read more

    Based on an interdisciplinary perspective integrating astrophysics, evolutionary biology, civilizational sociology, and ethics, this paper constructs a progressive empowering model of the "cosmos-planet-civilization" three-level death mechanism. It breaks through the traditional cognition that "death is opposed to civilization" and demonstrates that death is not the ultimate destiny of the universe and civilizations, but an underlying empowering system running through material circulation, biolo…Read more

    This paper proposes and systematically demonstrates a "Rigid Framework for Ethical Revision," aiming to provide an unshakable rule base for the long-term survival of civilization. The framework is rooted in two irrefutable objective cornerstones: first, the physical laws of the universe—the underlying objective principles of order emergence, energy balance, and entropy constraint presented in the 13.8-billion-year evolution of the universe, whose core is "unconscious, amoral, and only sustained …Read more

    This paper proposes a scientific model titled "The Theory of Civilization's Autonomous Symbiotic Breakthrough Under the Matter-Energy Evolution of the Three-Dimensional Universe." The fundamental premise of this model is that the three-dimensional universe is a purely matter-energy system without will or moral inclination. Based on the observational fact that the universe, over 13.8 billion years of evolution, has nurtured intelligent civilizations, this theory argues that "time scale" is the ul…Read more
