Science and science fiction take flight together. Zhihu's "Seeking answers from science" receives 2.49 billion views.

In the month following the launch of the "Seeking Answers from Science" campaign on Zhihu, a total of 710,000 Zhihu creators produced 2.05 million high-quality content, receiving 18.42 million likes from Zhihu users. The total views of related scientific and science fiction content reached 2.49 billion. "Seeking Answers from Science" is an annual science event organized by Science Communication China and Zhihu. This year's theme is "Science and Imagination," and many new professionals gathered on Zhihu to share scientific hot topics, popularize science, and create science fiction, achieving a collision between science and science fiction, reason and imagination. Artificial intelligence has become the focus of the current industry discussions. In the roundtable discussion of the "Science and Imagination Feast," there was a question, "Is it currently possible to create artificial intelligence with human-level consciousness and emotions?" According to Liu Wei, director of the Human-Computer Interaction and Cognition Laboratory at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and a Zhihu answerer, artificial intelligence in science fiction novels is often portrayed as having emotions and autonomous consciousness. "Current artificial intelligence technology is far from reaching the level of truly possessing emotions and autonomous consciousness, and it is also difficult to achieve this level in the foreseeable future." In addition to discussions by scientific research experts, the combination of science and imagination is more prevalent in the Zhihu scientific atmosphere. With regard to the answers of AI assistants that people envy in science fiction works, Jarvis from Marvel has become a popular choice. Zhihu answerer "Duan Xiaocao" analyzed Jarvis, saying, "He plays the role of LUI, which represents changes in human-computer interaction methods and means that machines can understand human language and instructions to the greatest extent." "Is it possible to develop a drug to repair chromosome telomeres and prevent cell aging?" "If you could choose one known ability of animals or plants, which one would you choose?" "If extraterrestrial life exists, what forms would it take?"... There are many seemingly imaginative questions like these on Zhihu, including a large number of hardcore scientific penetration and humorous and popular answers. During the one-month period of this year's "Seeking Answers from Science" campaign, these professional discussions on science and science fiction received a total of 18.42 million likes from Zhihu users and had a total of 2.49 billion views. In the one month since the launch of the "Seeking Answers from Science" campaign, a total of 710,000 Zhihu creators produced 2.05 million text and image content.
