The universe unveils an unique divine occurrence, and humanity is poised to enter into a new phase. In 2044, Earth received the first message from San-Ti. It is a civilization of humanoids residing on a binary star system. As the world digested the concept of alien life, we unveil the true nature of this enigmatic visitor and San-Ti history.
The San-Ti, or Trisolarans, come to life in the pages of Liu Cixin’s bestselling fiction “The Three-Body Problem.” Their name is short for “san ti ren” or “Three-body people” – a combination of the number three and their central trait and their home world’s three suns. This trinary system, just four light-years from Earth, supports San-Ti’s resilience.
The living proof of the existence of the San-Ti people has been the ability to survive. Their home system’s instability is characterized by three suns, which once caused chaos, and the loss of more than 200 civilizations caused these chaotic eras. San-ti adapted to the conditions uniquely: their body endured dehydration, and the people used this feature for their easy existence without vitamins and minerals.
Adapted for a television show, the San-Ti materialized and their suffering was visualized. The San-Ti were shown as advanced beings seeking a new home. Suitable at first, the San-Ti soon changed their minds. That was because they believed in the best of humanity. The deception was unheard of in their society and was based on uttering transparent communication.
However, the history of San-Ti is one of slow progress. Learning of the upcoming 400-year arrival, Earth’s cosmopolitanism enters a “cooling” phase. During the four-century prep time, countries must acknowledge the fact that they are sharing Earth with aliens. Preparation shows in science, diplomacy, confrontation, and various ways to face the unknown.
Strangely, the San-Ti decided to visit the Earth in a human guise. The San-Ti visited Earth before making first contact with us. It can be assumed that a previous expedition was unsuccessful.
