Theory of Scale-Nested Cosmology (尺度嵌套宇宙论)

Traditional cosmology, physics, and life science have long been constrained by the cognitive framework of carbon-based life, mesoscopic scales, and classical physics, making it difficult to explain a series of fundamental problems including the origin of consciousness, the fine structure of the universe, quantum anomalies, and the absence of observable extraterrestrial civilizations. Human definitions of life and civilization rely excessively on terrestrial experience, leading to long-standing structural blind spots in understanding the nature of the universe. This paper proposes the Theory of Scale-Nested Cosmology, a new theoretical system built on three core axioms: all things are civilizations, scale is the barrier, and individual is a universe. A vertically infinite, hierarchically nested cosmic model—extending from the infinitely microscopic to the infinitely macroscopic—is constructed. Supported by modern physics, astronomy, biology, and quantum mechanics, the theory integrates ultimate philosophies from both Eastern and Western traditions, and systematically explores its practical applications in astronomical observation, fundamental physics, life sciences, energy technology, interstellar travel, and artificial intelligence. This study shows that the universe is not a dead physical space, but a living community of infinite levels, infinite scales, and infinite civilizations. Humans are merely a form of existence at a certain microscopic level within a gigantic cosmic living body. Consciousness is the fundamental attribute of the universe and the carrier through which the universe observes itself. Life and death are not endings, but transitions between hierarchical scales. Breaking through the narrow definitions of life and civilization, this theory provides a novel, self-consistent, and extensible framework for unifying physics, reinterpreting the nature of existence, exploring extraterrestrial civilizations, and driving the next technological revolution. 传统宇宙学、物理学与生命科学长期局限于碳基生命、中观尺度与经典物理的认知框架,难以解释意识起源、宇宙精细结构、量子怪异现象与可观测外星文明缺失等一系列终极难题。人类对生命与文明的定义过度依赖地球经验,导致对宇宙本质的理解长期存在结构性盲区。 本文提出尺度嵌套宇宙论,以万物皆文明、尺度即壁垒、个体即宇宙三大公理为核心,构建一套自下而上无限微观、自上而下无限宏观的宇宙模型。论文以现代物理学、天文学、生物学、量子力学成果为科学佐证,融通东西方哲学终极思想,并系统阐述该理论在天文观测、基础物理、生命科学、能源科技、星际航行与人工智能领域的可落地应用方向。 研究表明:宇宙并非死寂的物理空间,而是无限层级、无限尺度、无限文明的生命共同体;人类仅是宇宙巨型生命体中某一微观层级的存在形式;意识是宇宙的本源属性,是宇宙实现自我观测的载体;生死并非终结,而是尺度层级的切换。 本理论突破了人类对生命与文明的狭隘定义,为统一物理学、重新理解存在本质、探索外星文明、推动未来科技革命提供了一套全新、自洽、可延伸的底层框架。
