In fact, the worst thing to do is to give up hope!

Is 6 million years, that kind of remoteness, a reason for mankind to give up hope?

In fact, even the earth is just a large unpowered spaceship. Isn't the earth like a speck of dust or a bubble that is slowly drifting with the solar system in the vast universe? There is no essential difference between the earth and the spaceship in the movie, just one is bigger and the other is smaller. We also can’t drive the earth. When the sun’s material is exhausted, it is the end of the earth. This is the inevitable future. Why is it that when human beings are on the earth, they can give birth to future generations with hope and multiply, and change to a small home , to give up hope soon?

From a scientific point of view, the earth can sustain the reproduction of life because there is a sun, and this star is constantly providing energy. This is a condition that ANIARA does not have. Even the food, water, air, etc. on the spacecraft can achieve material circulation, but where does the energy come from? It can only rely on the consumption of substances, which is not explained in the movie. I assume that the life support system on the spacecraft is powered by a nuclear reactor made by humans (just like the nuclear reactor that the sun belongs to the earth). The sun will burn out, and the reactor on the spacecraft will also burn However, both are in the same situation.

I think the most unbearable thing for human beings is to "lose" what they once had, they lost their home on Earth, and the future is dark again, so they collapsed quickly. If the psychology of the humans on the spaceship is strong enough, they don't give up, they reproduce the second generation, for the people born on the spaceship, then the earth is just a distant legend, and they will not feel "lost", just like today's People were born on earth, do you think you have lost anything? Will the second generation be hopeful, improve technology, capture space matter, and use matter to create new energy? Will they reproduce and explore like the people on the big ship of the earth?

In the end, life is all void. In the world view known to mankind, no matter how bright civilization is, the end is actually darkness, death and destruction. But people on Earth are showing no signs of giving up hope now!

When human beings changed from a large earth to a small spaceship, they "lost" everything they once had, and then lost hope, so they destroyed themselves. What kills humans is actually their own hearts.

If you do not consider the minimum base required for the continued reproduction of species (that is, if you assume that there are enough people on the spacecraft), if you do not consider the problem of material consumption, that is, if you assume that the spacecraft can achieve endless material recycling, then humans really shouldn’t give up hope.

Philosophically, there is an ultimate question: why do humans exist? What is their purpose? The ancient Greek natural law philosopher said: The purpose of human beings is to preserve life, reproduce offspring, and find a happy life. This is the first imperative of human beings. I personally think that the people on earth today basically uphold this kind of human philosophy. What is faith? This is probably the common belief of all mankind.
