Quote note (#298)¶
Cixin Liu (op. cit.), p.558:
“… It’s very possible that every law of physic has been
weaponized. It’s possible that in some parts of the universe,
even … Forget it, I don’t even believe that.”
“What were you going to say?”
“The foundation of mathematics.”
Cheng Xin tried to imagine it, but it was simply impossible.
“That’s … madness.” Then she asked, “Will the universe turn into
a war ruin? Or, maybe it’s more accurate to ask: Will the laws
of physics turn into war ruins?”
“Maybe they already are …”
(All ellipsis after the first in original.)
Among the points here, the (Herakleitean) thesis: Cosmology does not transcend war. Strategy belongs to the infrastructure.
