Abstract

The　author　of　this　essay　has　first　probed　into　the　human　beings’　necessity　for　the　common　language，　and　has　expounded　on　the　easiest　common　language　existing　everywhere　in　the　cosmos　and　running　through　all　“dead”　&　living　things，　and　then　has　listed　its　very-widely-used　and　never-exhausted　applications.　Based　on　his　many　years’　researches　and　experiments，　the　author　has　pointed　out　that　the　universal　language　exists　in　the　human　brain　and　the　human　languages，　expecting　to　solve　the　long-suspending　and　unsettled　technical　problems　in　the　language　researching　and　teaching.　The　essay　has　sketched　a　prospect　of　the　human　common　language，　and　one　practical　and　scientific　route

adopting　the　universal　language　and　the　human　brains’　laws　and　the　excellences　of　the-most-widely-used　language　can　bring　about　the　formation　of　the　human　common　language，　and　finally　called　on　every　nation　and　every　earthman　to　do　a　bit　for　the　formation.

Key　words：　Cosmic　common　language；　Brain　and　sound　language；　Laws；　Human　common　language

1. THE　EASIEST　LANGUAGE　RUNNING　THROUGH　EVERYWHERE　IN　THE　COSMOS

We　human　beings　are　very　great　and　also　very　small　and　lowly.　We　have　discovered　more　and　more　stars，　traveling　in　the　vast　universe，　and　have　reached　the　other　stars.　We　have　made　vehicles，　trains，　airplanes，　atomic　bombs，　H-bombs，　N-bombs，　computers，　robots，　clone　persons，　and　have　changed　the　varieties　of　the　life　forms.　In　the　micro-world，　we　have　discovered　particles　such　as　molecules，　atoms，　neutrons，　protons，　gluons，　leptons，　hadrons，　and　even　made　use　of　the　Large　Hadron　Collider　to　find　out　the　mystery　of　the　origin　of　the　universe.　We　have　benefited　more　and　more　from　exploiting　more　and　more　the　ocean.　We　have　gone　10　kilometers　down　the　ocean　to　find　valuable　deposits.　William　Shakespeare　（1966）　sang　a　song　for　the　human　beings　in　Hamlet：

“What　a　piece　of　work　is　man！

how　noble　in　reason！

how　infinite　in　faculty！

in　form　and　moving　how　express　and　admirable！

in　action　how　like　an　angel！

in　apprehension　how　like　a　god！

the　beauty　of　the　world！　the　paragon　of　animals！”

Meanwhile　we　human　beings　are　insignificantly　small　in　the　limitless　vast　universe.　So　far　we　have　not　known　what　world　we　have　come　from　and　what　place　we　are　eventually　going　to.　Many　human　beings　on　the　earth　are　still　suffering　from　hunger，　disease　and　misery　brought　about　by　chaos　and　wars.　On　many　occasions　we　are　powerless　when　natural　disasters　come.　A　tsunami　may　swallow　thousands　upon　thousands　of　people　suddenly　in　a　few　minutes，　just　as　many　ants　are　drowned　when　a　tub　of　water　was　poured　accidentally　into　their　den.　We　are　even　often　worried　about　becoming　extinct　suddenly　from　this　earth　as　the　dinosaurs　disappeared　0.2　billion　years　ago.　We　human　beings　have　not　had　our　own　common　language　yet.　Many　earthmen　could　not　understand　other　earthmen’s　languages　as　soon　as　they　leave　their　own　households　and　reach　other　lands.

Human　beings　are　born　with　such　characteristic：　full　of　curiosity，　fond　of　challenging，　never　giving　in，　and　never　stopping　striving.　As　we　have　made　more　and　more　achievements　in　exploring　the　universe，　we　are　also　expecting　to　meet　with　extraterrestrials.　Though　there　is　no　definite　conclusion　about　whether　or　not　there　exist　extraterrestrials，　no　one　can　stop　us　human　beings　from　fancy　meeting　with　them　with　curiosity.　The　higher　civilization　we　reach，　with　stronger　curiosity　we　fancy　meeting　with　them.　Suppose　we　human　beings　meet　with　the　extraterrestrials　one　day，　what　easiest　language　can　we　use　to　get　in　touch　with　them？

The　following　is　one　encounter　of　Mr.　Tom　and　Mrs.　Tom　with　one　extraterrestrial.

That　day　a　streak　of　lightning　cleft　through　the　window　with　a　loud　sound.　Soon，　Mr.　and　Mrs.　Tom　opened　the　door　in　response　to　a　knock，　and　saw　a　middle-sized　strange-looking　figure　in　the　courtyard.　Mr.　Tom　went　to　him，　followed　by　his　wife.　Mr.　Tom　said　“Hello”　to　the　figure，　but　received　no　response.　Mrs.　Tom　said，　“Is　it　a　ghost？”　Mr.　Tom　shook　his　head　and　said　“No”.　Mrs.　Tom　asked，　“Does　it　come　here　to　ask　us　for　something？”　Mr.　Tom　nodded　his　head　and　said，　“Yes.”

Tom　went　closer　to　the　stranger　and　asked，　“Do　you　speak　English？”　The　stranger　shook　the　head　and　said，　“No.”　Tom　asked　successively　about　whether　or　not　he　speaks　French　and　Russian　and　Chinese.　The　stranger　shook　the　head　and　said　successively，　“No，　no，　no.”　When　they　were　talking，　Mrs.　Tom　went　back　into　the　house　and　got　back　a　map.　Tom　pointed　to　the　European　part　and　the　Asian　part　and　asked，　“Do　you　come　from　these　two　parts？”　The　stranger　answered　successively，　“No，　no.”　Mrs.　Tom　pointed　up　to　the　sky　and　asked，　“Do　you　come　from　the　sky？”　The　stranger　answered　quickly，　“Yes.”　Tom　said，　“Ah，　the　friend　from　faraway.”　Then　Tom　pointed　to　his　own　mouth　and　asked，　“Are　you　hungry　and　thirsty？”　The　stranger　said，　“No.”　At　this　moment，　a　group　of　kids　came　to　watch　the　scene　of　the　bustle.　The　stranger　pointed　to　Mrs.　Tom　and　one　little　boy，　and　drew　Mrs.　Tom　to　him.　Tom　drew　back　the　wife　quickly　and　said，　“Do　you　mean　to　take　my　wife　away　with　you？”　The　stranger　said，　“Yes.”　Tom　said　loudly，　“Impossible.　You　can　not　take　my　wife　away.”　The　stranger　took　out　some　seed-like　materials　from　his　pocket.　As　he　said　some　words　Tom　and　his　wife　can　not　understand，　he　handed　them　to　Tom.　Mrs.　Tom　found　they　were　various　seeds.　The　stranger　pointed　to　Mrs.　Tom　and　Mr.　Tom　and　then　to　the　seeds　in　Tom’s　palms，　the　kids　and　the　sky.　Mr.　and　Mrs.　Tom　said　in　chorus，　“Do　you　ask　us　to　give　you　the　seeds　on　our　earth？”　The　stranger　said，　“Yes.”　Mrs.　Tom　got　back　into　the　room　and　fetched　some　seeds　from　the　farm　and　the　vegetable　garden.　The　stranger　said　repeatedly，　“Yes，　yes.”　Taking　the　seeds，　he　saluted　Mr.　and　Mrs.　Tom，　and　walked　fast　to　the　wood　where　something　was　shining.　Soon　a　UFO-like　vehicle　took　off　and　faded　out　like　a　shooting　star.

The　above　more　than　10　“yes”　or　“no”　are　enough　to　express　the　extraterrestrial’s　wish　for　the　seeds　on　the　earth.　The　dialogues　between　Mr.　and　Mrs.　Tom　and　the　stranger　are　similar　to　the　general　questions　that　we　often　ask　students　to　practice　in　the　English　class　（1）.　That　is，　Student　A　should　think　of　a　certain　object　or　a　wish　or　a　purpose　in　his　or　her　mind　before　he　practices.　What　he　or　she　has　thought　of　should　not　change.　Student　B　shall　guess　out　the　object　or　the　wish　or　the　purpose　in　student　A’s　mind　by　asking　no　more　than　20　questions　whose　answers　should　only　be　yes　or　no.　In　fact，　both　the　extraterrestrial　and　Student　A　have　used　the　concept　of　Affirmation　and　Negation，　Including　and　excluding，　Unity　and　Oppositeness　or　we　can　say　what　they　have　used　is　similar　to　the　01　language　existing　in　the　macro-world，　the　objective　world，　the　human　society，　and　the　micro-world.

The　01　language　is　the　easiest　common　language　in　the　cosmos.　We　can　regard　the　cosmos　before　the　explosion　as　“0”，　and　regard　its　explosion　as　“1”.　Leibniz，　a　mathematician，　once　said，　as　long　as　“1”　appeared，　the　cosmos　has　everything　from　nil.　It　is　known　that　“0”　is　made　up　of　“+1”　and　“-1”.　The　ancient　Chinese　traditional　medicine　believes　that　all　objects　and　living　things　are　born　from　Yin　（-1）　and　Yang　（+1）.　Materialists　believe　that　nothing　but　materials　exists　in　the　cosmos.　The　nature　and　the　human　society　are　full　of　the　materials　and　the　living　things　that　are　both　unifying　and　also　opposing，　or　are　in　the　two　contrasting　different　states　e.g.　male　and　female，　Yang　and　Yin，　masculine　and　feminine，　recharge　and　discharge，　big　and　small，　forward　and　backward，　high　and　law，　white　and　black，　on　and　off，　existence　and　non-existence，　acting　and　reacting　forces　of　objects　and　celestial　bodies，　positive　charges　and　negative　charges，　right　and　wrong　among　human　beings，　certainty　and　uncertainty，　affirming　and　denying.　All　these　can　be　expressed　in　the　form　of　“+1”　and　“-1”　that　can　constitute　countless　disorderly　011010110....　All　objects　and　living　things　are　constantly　moving　or　changing.　Their　stationary　state　is　only　relative.　Even　if　they　are　not　moving　or　changing，　in　their　interiors，　there　are　moving　and　changing，　e.g.　the　exploding　of　the　universe，　circling　of　stars，　location　changing　of　the　galaxy，　the　moving　of　such　small　particles　as　molecules，　atoms，　hadrons，　gluons，　leptons，　the　birth　of　human　beings　and　animals，　the　growth　of　plants.　All　of　them　have　the　process　from　“0”　to　“+1”.　They　constitute　countless　orderly　01010101....

The　01　language　has　been　widely　used，　e.g.　all　numbers　in　Mathematics　can　be　expressed　by　the　01　language.　Human　beings　have　adopted　the　01　language　for　the　computers　used　in　nearly　all　fields.　The　pictures　and　data　we　human　beings　have　got　in　exploring　the　moon　and　Mars　are　sent　to　the　earth　through　the　01　language.　Human　beings’　regards　to　extraterrestrials　and　the　data　recording　our　greatest　achievements　and　so　on　have　been　converted　into　the　01　language　and　sent　to　other　stars.　We　believe　the　extraterrestrials，　if　there　are，　can　understand　them，　just　because　the　01　language　is　an　easiest　basic　language　in　the　cosmos.　We　have　also　used　the　01　languages　（by　giving　directives）　to　control　space-detectors’　taking　off，　flying，　reaching　the　moon　or　the　stars，　flying　back　and　landing.　As　a　lot　of　pictures，　diagrams，　numbers　and　sound　and　so　on　can　be　converted　into　the　01　language，　and　be　converted　back　again，　applications　of　the　01　language，　in　medical　field，　military　fields，　daily　life，　the　cosmos　explosion　imitating，　robot-making，　genetic　engineering　are　too　numerous　to　mention.

2. THE　HUMAN　COMMON　LANGUAGE　TOGETHER　WITH　THE　COSMIC　COMMON　LANGUAGE

It　is　rarely　noticed　that　the　01　language　exists　in　another　universe

the　human　brain，　and　that　it　is　the　soul　of　the　human　oral　languages.　It　can　not　be　separated　from　the　human　body　and　thinking　just　as　human　flesh　and　blood　could　not　be　separated.　In　my　“On　Imitating　Thinking　Orbit　and　its　Great　Value”　（3），　“The　Basic　Rules　of　Marxist　Philosophy　Say　“No”　to　the　Long-standing　English　Teaching”　（4）　and　“Researching　into　the　Principles　of　Tecolang　English”　（5），　I　did　a　pursuing-origins-and-seeking-rules　research　along　the　obit　of　life　（consciousness　or　the　brain），　the　orbit　of　the　sound　languages，　and　the　orbit　of　the　written　languages　and　culture　and　so　on，　and　found　that　in　the　brain　and　human　thinking，　the　orderly　010101…　rule　and　the　disorderly　01101001…　rule　and　so　on　do　exist.　We　completely　discarded　the　crust　of　one-widely-used　language　（the　words），　input　the　language　materials　（texts）　into　the　computer，　and　re-edit　them　according　to　the　01　rule　automatically　with　the　help　of　new　software，　and　did　the　teaching　experiments　on　pupils，　middle　school　students　and　college　students　for　many　years，　and　got　surprisingly　good　results　from　each　experiment.　Faster　and　more　efficient　achievements　were　also　made　by　using　the　brand-new　method　to　learn　other　international　languages.　We　have　got　the　gold　medal　granted　by　the　Chinese　authoritative　institution　for　the　unique　method.　From　researches　and　experiments　we　have　concluded　that　as　long　as　we　human　beings　make　use　of　the　01　rule　and　allow　full　play　to　the　brains’　natural　laws，　and　take　in　the　advantages　of　the-mainly-and-widely-used　languages，　we　can　quickly　and　easily　form　the　common　language　of　the　earthmen.　We　have　written　series　of　Human-Common-Language-English　Textbooks　（7），　and　have　them　published.　Learners　can　use　English　after　they　learn　for　one　day，　one　week，　or　one　month.　Within　20　months　（not　6　years　or　10　years）　learners　can　finish　learning　the　contents　covering　all　the　present　textbooks　used　in　the　primary　and　middle　schools，　and　universities，　and　get　the　very　satisfying　results.　Their　application　ability　is　higher　than　the　present　textbook　learners.　It　has　been　proved，　to　a　certain　degree　that　the　combination　of　the　01　rule　and　the　brains’　laws　and　the　widely-used　English　can　help　bring　about　the　formation　of　the　Human　common　language.

3. A　MANIFESTO　OF　A　HUMAN　COMMON　LANGUAGE

In　the　1840s，　Mark　and　Engels　issued　Manifesto　of　the　Communist　Party，　which　has　shocked　and　influenced　the　world.　That　a　simple　and　easily-learned-and-used　common　language　is　quickly　formed　on　this　earth　is　also　of　significance.　Today　when　the　human　society　is　getting　more　and　more　globalized，　let　us　all　earth-men　of　different　nationalities，　races，　languages，　believes，　sexes　and　ages，　unite　and　strive　for　a　man’s　common　language.

On　this　earth，　there　are　forests　of　countries，　each　of　which　is　always　and　everywhere　scrambling　for　its　own　interest.　Although　there　is　unity　between　or　among　nations，　still　conflicts　occur　constantly　between　or　among　them.　Obviously，　if　the　human　race　has　a　common　language，　then　it　will　be　good　to　increasing　understanding　and　friendship，　and　good　to　learning　from　and　helping　each　other.

In　fact，　the　human　race　has　already　had　some　common　languages：　e.g.　the　languages　of　math，　physics，　and　chemistry，　the　music　language　and　the　computer　language　and　so　on.　All　these　languages　have　played　a　big　role　in　carrying　the　human　race　forward.　A　lot　of　scholars　in　history　invented　hundreds　of　human　common　language　plans，　but　they　gave　too　many　priorities　to　the　man-made　literal　symbols.　It　is　well　known　that　man　is　the　products　of　materials　that　evolved　into　a　high　level.　It　is　true　that　the　human　brain　is　the　product　of　society，　but，　first　of　all，　it　is　the　product　of　developed　materials.　So　the　human　thinking　must　possess　the　laws　of　materials，　and　have　the　characteristics　all　materials　share.　Man’s　common　language　should　exist　in　the　common　genes　of　the　human　brain.　As　long　as　we　make　use　of　laws　in　the　evolved

from　materials　brain，　and　the　generalities　of　the　human　thinking，　then　we　human　beings　can　realize　the　common　language　much　easily.　The　natural　languages　of　any　nations　have　their　own　strong　points　and　weak　points.　Any　of　them　could　not　easily　become　the　human　race’s　common　language　without　reforming.　Let　us　make　use　of　the　generalities　of　the　human　thinking，　absorb　the　essence　and　reject　the　dross　on　the　basis　of　world-widely　used　English，　absorb　the　advantages　of　the　world’s　main　languages，　and　absorb　the　merits　of　the　common　languages　many　scholars　invented，　and　of　language　researches　many　scholars　had　done　into　（e.g.　both　the　language　learning　symbols　created　by　many　European　scholars　in　1888，　and　the　Chinese　Pinyin　symbols　created　by　the　Chinese　scholars　in　1950s，　have　many　merits），　make　use　of　the　peculiar　and　simple　natural　laws　in　the　brain，　to　study　language，　e.g.　Tecolang　or　English，　so　as　to　create　quickly　a　big　common　language　speaking　climatic　zone.

Science　and　technology　is　the　locomotive　of　the　human　history.　However，　in　many　countries，　people　spend　too　much　time，　energy，　manpower　on　language　studying，　e.g.　English　learning　of　Chinese　students　in　schools　and　colleges　has　been　burden　and　hardship.　Students　of　one　generation　after　another　have　been　tortured，　because　the　teaching　and　learning　have　been　acting　against　the　natural　laws　in　the　brain.　Why　do　not　we　bring　about　a　teaching　revolution　of　overthrowing　thoroughly　the　backward　teaching　and　learning　methods　by　making　use　of　the　natural　laws　and　the　generalities　of　the　human　brain　to　learn　the　essence　of　the　most　often-used　language，　so　as　to　increase　the　teaching　and　learning　efficiencies，　and　to　make　a　contribution　to　the　formation　of　man’s　common　language？　In　the　countries　where　English　is　the　people’s　native　language，　English　studying　also　costs　much　time.　As　long　as　the　native　speakers　of　English　admit　that　English　has　shortcomings，　too，　and　make　some　effort　to　participate　in　the　reforming　of　the　language　and　the　teaching，　by　making　use　of　the　natural　laws　in　the　brain　and　the　generalities　of　the　human　languages，　they　can　more　easily　make　a　contribution　to　the　formation　of　man’s　common　language.

The　destruction　of　Man　may　not　be　only　because　of　the　dangers　from　the　other　planets，　but　also　of　human　beings　themselves，　because　on　this　earth，　human’s　selfishness　is　shown　obviously，　conflicts　occur　constantly，　wars　never　end.　People　often　say　science　has　no　boundary　（that　is，　science　can　be　used　everywhere）.　But　the　fact　is，　the　people　in　power　in　any　countries　are　trying　every　means　to　keep　the　scientists　in　other　countries　from　the　new　discoveries　and　inventions　of　their　own.　In　this　world，　no　country　is　proved　really　unselfish.　In　fact，　sometimes，　some　countries　do　not　guarantee　that　the　discoveries　or　inventions　offered　to　the　world　unselfishly　by　their　citizens　are　not　plagiarized　or　not　randomly　used　by　pirates　and　businessmen.　They　even　get　petty　advantages　at　the　expense　of　the　offers.　We　humans　need　badly　a　common　means　to　promote　and　protect　the　scientific　achievements　available　to　the　human　common　benefits.　If　there　is　a　common　language，　although　it　could　not　stop　the　selfishness　of　each　country，　it　can　contribute　to　the　union　and　common　wealth　of　the　human　race.　Fighting　between　or　among　countries　for　territories，　oceans　and　space　is　only　a　trivial　matter.　Space　is　vast　and　magnificent，　the　universe　is　boundless.　How　man　seeks　the　means　of　survival　and　development　is　of　importance.　The　solution　to　it　needs　how　man　understands　each　other，　learns　from　each　other，　and　co-operates　through　the　more　convenient　use　of　a　common　language.　Man’s　scientific　discoveries　and　invention　should　be　used　in　common，　not　be　kept　in　the　dark　from　each　other.　When　the　extraterrestrials　/ekstr3ti`restri3lz/　invade　the　terrestrials　（the　terrains，　or　earth-men），　it　is　too　late　for　the　earth-men　to　regret　for　their　fighting　among　themselves.　From　now　on，　why　do　not　we　earth-men　call　for　this：　every　one　of　us　in　the　human　common　family　can　do　a　bit，　let　us　strive　for　the　formation　of　man’s　common　language.
