Disclaimer: I haven’t read The Three-Body Problem novel, but I did watch the Netflix show, which basically makes me an expert, right? So if I’ve gotten something hilariously wrong or if you’ve spotted any wild connections I missed, feel free to jump in and give me the ol’ “Actually…” treatment.
First off, this isn’t me trying to start some fear-pocalypse. Let’s keep this a chill, fun discussion—or at least as fun as discussing potentially mind-bending, reality-breaking events can be. Because, honestly, the stuff happening around us right now is freakishly similar to the plot of the show. Could we be in the middle of a slow, strategic “drip campaign,” getting humanity ready for something huge? You know, the kind of thing that makes you wonder if it’s time to invest in a bunker.
The Uncanny Relevance of The Three-Body Problem
For those not in the know, The Three-Body Problem is a wild ride where humanity discovers an advanced alien civilization—the Trisolarans—living in a star system so unstable, it makes my emotional state look rock solid. But here’s where it gets spicy: the Trisolarans have been sneakily pulling strings on Earth, manipulating humanity long before their RSVP to the invasion party. Governments? Totally in on it. They’re slow-dripping information, trying not to send everyone into full-blown freak-out mode while we wrestle with existential threats like, “Should I get a bunker or watch the new season of Love Is Blind UK?”

James Webb’s Mysterious Discoveries
So, there’s some serious buzz right now that the James Webb Space Telescope might’ve found something big. Big enough to prompt a private briefing to Congress. We’re talking potential techno-signatures—like “city lights” on a planet 4.9 light-years away. Oh, and there’s also chatter about an object out there making course corrections, which is the universal sign for, “Hey, we’re not just space debris.”

The Sudden Surge Toward AGI—Preparation for Something Bigger?
Leopold Aschenbrenner from OpenAI thinks AGI by 2027 is “strikingly plausible” (which sounds suspiciously like “buckle up”). Meanwhile, Jensen Huang from Nvidia casually drops that AI is now designing new AI at a pace of “Moore’s Law squared,” like that’s not the most terrifyingly cool thing you’ve ever heard.
It just doesn’t feel like we’re just trying to build smarter machines. Maybe—just maybe—we’re getting ready for something else. The timing’s a little too coincidental, don’t you think? The same year AGI might come online is the same year we keep hearing whispers about potential disclosure? I mean, what are the odds? Is 2027 just the year everything levels up—AI, aliens, and my inability to process it all?

Are Hidden Forces Slowing Down Scientific Progress? (Or Is Science Just Stuck in a Really Long Traffic Jam?)
In The Three-Body Problem, the Trisolarans—an alien race chilling out 4.37 light-years away in the Alpha Centauri system—catch wind of Earth and decide to invade. But here’s the catch: even with their advanced tech, they can’t travel faster than light. So, it’s going to take them about 450 years to get here. That’s right, we’ve got almost half a millennium to prepare. Now, the Trisolarans’ big worry? That humanity will advance so much in those centuries that by the time they roll up, we’ll be way ahead of them, zipping around in quantum spaceships while they’re still stuck with sub-light drives. To keep this from happening, they send over sophons—AI-powered particles designed to sabotage our scientific progress, specifically in fundamental physics, and keep us from reaching their level by the time they arrive.
So while their fleet is en route, we’re stuck in a bit of a scientific chokehold. But instead of throwing in the towel, humanity pivots. We start pushing forward in other areas—space engineering, AI, mechanical systems—the stuff the sophons can’t mess with. The novel’s all about this long, 450-year waiting game, where we’re prepping for an inevitable invasion while trying to outsmart the cosmic curveball we’ve been thrown.
Now, if you really want to get speculative, could something like this be happening in our world? Think about it: since 1973, we’ve been stuck in particle physics while other areas—like AI and tech—are advancing at a breakneck pace. Even Eric Weinstein on The Joe Rogan Podcast has pointed out how fundamental physics has stalled, despite decades of work on theories like string theory. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Or maybe, like in The Three-Body Problem, there’s some hidden force—our own modern-day “sophons”—holding us back, quietly hitting the brakes on scientific breakthroughs while we unknowingly prep for something bigger.

“The Collins Elite” and Their Role in Shaping Disclosure
In The Three-Body Problem, some humans, completely freaked out by the idea of getting wiped out by the Trisolarans, think their best move is to team up with the aliens. Enter the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO)—a group convinced that surrendering to an advanced civilization is humanity’s only shot at survival. Of course, the Trisolarans see these collaborators as expendable pawns.
Now, shift to real life: ever heard of The Collins Elite? According to Nick Redfern’s book Final Events and whispers from guys like Ross Coulthart and Lou Elizondo, the Collins Elite is this ultra-secretive group within the U.S. government that believes alien phenomena aren’t just aliens—they’re demonic. That’s right, these guys are convinced we’re not just dealing with little green men but literal forces of darkness. And their job? Block any public disclosure of this terrifying info.
It’s kind of like the ETO in The Three-Body Problem, where different factions have their own wild ideas about aliens. But if groups like the Collins Elite are real, and they’re operating behind closed doors with their own hidden agendas, what else could be happening behind the scenes? Secret factions? Private entities with their own motives? Maybe even deals being made with extraterrestrial beings?
This could explain why some fields of science—like particle physics—have felt stagnant since the 1970s, while AI is advancing like they’ve got a cheat code. Maybe, just maybe, certain groups are steering the scientific ship, funneling resources into areas they can control or profit from, while quietly suppressing discoveries that could trigger existential chaos. It’s like those modern-day “sophons” from The Three-Body Problem—keeping humanity’s most dangerous ideas locked away while they play a long game for control.
But here’s a question that’ll keep you up at night: If the Collins Elite thinks UFOs are demonic, then where are the angels? Shouldn’t we be teaming up with the good guys? I mean, if we’re diving headfirst into the supernatural, why not place our bets on the winged heroes? It’s like we’re stuck in the weirdest reality show ever—one we didn’t exactly sign up for but can’t stop watching.
