他們旅行了很長一段時間,並沒有發現什麼東西。最後他們察覺到一個小光點,這就是地球……(但是)他們沒有絲毫的理由會猜想到,我們和這個星球上的同胞們有生存的榮譽。
—— 伏爾泰《哲學史》
在浩瀚的宇宙中,地球是一個極小的舞臺,正如卡爾·薩根所說,它是「一個懸浮於陽光中的塵埃小點」。然而,正是在這個小點上,「你所愛的每一個人,你認識的每一個人,你聽說過的每一個人,曾經有過的每一個人,都在它上面度過他們的一生」。
在過去的46億年間,我們所生活的星球不斷地在演化。對於我們而言,它既熟悉又陌生,因為有許多與地球有關的有趣事實,往往被許多人忽略。以下有九個問題,或許可以考驗你是否是一個「合格」的地球人。
