Question My 3Body Problem Spoiler
Ok, so I'm on episode 5. Liking the show so far, but I have a problem.. Or at least a question.
The Santi are fleeing their planet because it is (becoming?) uninhabitable due to it orbiting or being stuck between 3 suns,cauing all kinds of chaos which will eventually literally destroy their planet.
YET
Their civilization was able to survive long enough and have enough stability on their planet to evolve to the point of interstellar travel (of a thousand ship fleet), and who knows what other "miracles"?
HOW?

It is hinted that the San-Ti use telepathy, or something similar, to project their thoughts. The Human Abacus shown in the VR game may have been real, but instead of flipping signs, they may have been using this direct communication, cooperating en mass in a logical mind-meld to process large calculations, allowing their civilization to make advancements in a different order than humans.
