Metaverse and Main Universe

Recently, the concept of the metaverse has been very popular. Say a few words.

Since the emergence of the Internet, the Internet has had two major directions.

One is a single information dimension.

The other is the superposition of the information dimension and the real world (four-dimensional space-time).

The concept of the metaverse is actually to take a single information dimension to the extreme and form a complete and pure information dimension world.

To achieve this step, the following points are necessary.

• Another identity:

In the metaverse, everyone will have an identity different from that in the real world.

• Everyone participates:

This is a basic thing. In the current Internet, it is actually far from being achieved.

On the current Internet, most people just receive information most of the time.

• Economic system:

Without this, this metaverse cannot continue to function.

For this system, blockchain and digital currency are necessary.

• visual system:

Immersive experience is the basic need of users for the Metaverse.

• civilization:

The metaverse without civilization is dead. Only when civilization is born can it be a living metaverse.

The above is the metaverse.

In fact, the other direction will also be in full swing in the future.

The superposition of the information dimension world and the real world. Might as well, let's define it as the "main universe". (This word seems to have appeared in some famous science fiction comics. Let’s call it that for now.)

Many science fiction works have such scenarios: conscious robots, remote holographic projections, self-driving vehicles running around the world, supercomputers controlling all the cities...

Here are some snippets of scenes from the "Main Universe".

In fact, current smart cities, robots, autonomous driving, etc. are all the most elementary things in the main universe. But with continuous development, it is not a problem to realize the scenes in those science fiction works.

As these scenarios gradually emerge and develop, human society will also undergo many changes.

In short, the "main universe" is a more complex world.
