Looming extinction ... just how many seeds are left in the seed bank

The irony of the military headquarters setting themselves up in a museum is becoming more and more obvious ... it is like they have unknowingly positioned themselves with the bones of long dead dinosaurs in preparation for their own upcoming extinction.

The Three Body game in this episode was really interesting ... the frozen Confucious popsicle and the dude with his globe predictive machine ... both so adamant they were right even when annihilation was racing toward them ... how crazy is humanity's obsession with being right all the time, obsession with being the one ... smh. Every time the game ends and says the seeds of civilisation remain, I wonder how many 'seeds' are left in the seed bank ... how many iterations of civilisation are possible?

I had a big laugh at the old dude when he said that when women revive, they crave love ... ROFL ... that was hilarious ... it was like he was talking about frogs getting all hot and horny to spawn every time it rains ... but when you think about it ... given the rate of extinction in the Three Body world ... that is a great survival tactic if they want to replenish the seed bank of civilisation.

Lastly, a question - the mass of the sun already keeps the planets in a relatively stable orbit so if it physically 'raced' away or 'disappeared' ... wouldn't that have an effect on the planetary orbits ... or is this where 'physics' disappears?
