    Very minor spoiler: Da Chi actually told Saul the reason he was picked, it is because Ye Wenjie contacted him and told him the joke before she went back to China with purpose of ending herself. That joke has hidden message of how human can potentially solve the problem, and now Saul is the only person that knows this knowledge.

      And presumably the SanTi don’t know what he was told either, but they did realize it was very important. Which is also the real reason they had Wenjie killed, they realized she wasn’t fully on their side anymore, still had ways to hurt their chances, and was using “stories” (“lies”) to tell important secrets.

Also, no spoilers, but regarding the books, there are huge chunks that were cut out or changed around in order to help translate the story from book to screen. And the books go more in-depth with the science. Definitely worth a read. Or, at least the first one, since you've finished the season now.

      The show did great actually, in terms of viewing numbers. The only issue is going to be the budget for the 2nd second season, this is why it's taking a little longer for them to officially confirm season 2. Same happened with The Sandman. But in terms of completion rates, which is what Netflix looks at to cancel or confirm upcoming seasons, the show did really well.

      I mean in fairness, there’s really no getting around plot holes when you include something that can break causality. They might have let them do even more, but that’s a pretty huge start that cascades out. Not criticizing it the choice by the books either, to be clear, it was based on earlier understanding of a (relatively) newer concept with quantum entanglement, and it’s the nature of speculative fiction like sci-fi to pretty much always have to use some conceits that don’t obey known physics.
      But yeah there are a lot of plot holes that these extra capable Sophons open up that so far I’m content to file away under suspension of disbelief the same as I do the Epstein drives in Expanse that don’t stop that from being my favorite scifi yet made.

      Honestly I expect to have a harder time with the assumptions that will presumably come up next season about fundamental aspects of how cosmic society would function and why. Not because they aren’t interesting concepts to consider, but more because so many people seem to have come away from reading the novels with the feeling that some of those concepts can be taken for granted as actually true. Let’s just say I’m not a big fan of the conjecture that has wound up being called by the name of the second book, haha.

    Great reaction, guys. I've relived the emotions of watching this series by watching your reaction.
    The rise in gun violence in America is linked to the rise in gun regulation here. In the 50s and 60s, high schoolers could drive to school with a gun in their car to go hunting after school. Often, teachers and principals (headmasters) who saw these students took time after school to show them a gun they had in their own car, exchanging hunting and target shooting stories. No one ever shot up these places back then because guns were everywhere, and mass shooters prefer unarmed victims.
    One comment. Since the rise of gun free zones, there has been a proportional rise in mass shootings in America simply because there are now more opportunities. An armed population is safer than a declawed one.
    You see less gun violence in Europe because there are fewer guns among the population, but people armed with clubs, knives, and cars are still able to cause more damage because no one is able to shoot them down, and the cops are always minutes away when seconds count.

    • @SuzySteejo
      @SuzySteejo  Місяць тому +2

      I think correlation does not equal causation here. I would hazard that 99% of mass shootings/stabbings etc are down to mental health issues. For that I would blame social media and society not "gun free zones". The last thing I would want in an active shooter scenario is a bunch of people thinking they are John Wick. If you have an active shooter then someone else pulls out a gun to stop them, newcomers lack the neccesarry experience or information to do valid threat assessment and it would just be carnage.
      We have both hunting and target shooting here in the UK, the difference is that if you want to target shoot then your guns stay at the range in secure lockers. If you want to hunt then you have something suitable for hunting, not semi automatic weapons with high capacity.
      Clubs/knives/cars causing more damage than a gun is just false and provable.
      For the record, I'm not against gun ownership at all, I love target shooting and hubting is neccessary for population control and food. I just believe that if you own a gun for "self defence" then you've already accepted that you will kill another human with it.
      I don't know how we go onto this topic but I'm not looking for a back and forth, I understand that our positions are opposite and that we will probably not agree. Cheers. - Steejo

      @marshallprince2583 Місяць тому

      @SuzySteejo thanks for your response. No back and forth necessary. I do want to say, though, that yours has been the most insightful response I've seen from someone across the pond. Thanks for that.
      I was, perhaps, unclear by what I said about melee weapons and vehicles. What I was trying to say was that, in a society where virtually no one is armed for self-defense, melee weapons and vehicles have the potential to take more lives than they would if an armed witness were to put a stop to it a few seconds after the attack starts. There are countless cases in the US where this has been what happened, and rarely, if ever, does someone act like John Wick or accidentally shoot another good guy with a gun. That argument is popular among the Second Amendment opponents over here, but it happens so rarely that the point should be shelved.
      I'll concede that there are definitely people who should not have access to firearms, and we have laws about people with mental illness and histories of violence not having access to guns. The problem is enforcement.
      I'm definitely with you on mental illness being a large part of the problem. Sadly, those who could pass laws over here to improve the lives of the mentally ill usually prefer to blame the gun than the shooter. We're also seeing more cases of repeat violent law breakers being released by soft-on-crime district attorneys who want to appease the mob on the left that claims you're racist or heartless or (enter social crime here) if you put abusers and offenders of color behind bars. We've even seen many murderers be released from jail several times in recent years, only to go back to killing once they're out.
      Anyway, I appreciate your insight, and I understand we may not agree on things, but I wish you well, and I really hope there's a second season to this show, despite the trouble they've had so far with attacks on producers.

    There's literal hopelessness for humanity in that case that under full surveillance and blocked out any further progress in fundamental physics.
    You can think about that, is there any way out?
    So, the staircase , the wallfacer , their main reason for is "doing something" instead of "waiting to die".
    And from San-Ti's respect, they do have the interest of human's brain that they can't see through before they actually reach the earth.
    And Wade knows that, but after then, no one knows what will happen.
    Remember " the pacifist" ? There's a gap in San-Ti's society where lays the play of Will .
    And the wallfacer is also nonsense , before absolutely supreme civilization and San-Ti thinks too where exists a hiatus mankind can survive only by "doing something" ,an arduous work.

    You have to remember that acceleration in space is smooth because space is a vacuum with no friction or turbulence to shake and possible destroy the pod. Meteoroids and small particles are more concerning to destroying the pod. If the pod reached 1% of light speed you wouldn't feel it no G force as there's no gravity in space l.

    • @SuzySteejo
      @SuzySteejo  Місяць тому

      G forces are based on acceleration regardless of actual gravity, we just measure it in multiples of earth's gravity. g = 9.8m/s/s, 2g = 19.6m/s/s etc. 1% SoL is ~3m m/s, so they'd need to be accelerating for about 17 hours at 5Gs to get to that speed which didn't seem to be how they were doing it in the simulation. - Steejo

      @@AmusedGermanShepherd-er5gp No, I get what you are thinking of but that's only true for a _constant_ velocity, no acceleration. That would be the case _after_ the probe reaches its final velocity, but while it's getting there the velocity is changing and change of velocity over a period of time is the definition of acceleration. That would be experienced as a gravity like force by the "passenger" (as well as all the components needing to withstand it). Lack of air for turbulence/friction etc might avoid shaking, sure, but those aren't what G-forces are referring to anyway.
      Steejo's comment above is correct for trying to get to that speed with only a 5G acceleration, so feeling 5 times the force of gravity. 5Gs would be a rough time for a human to experience over that kind of time scale but very doable, and for just a brain it would be very easy to cushion against a known direction of acceleration. However, using only the force from bombs (so only a very short burst of acceleration per explosion) the force would have to be far, far higher. Depending on how generous you are guessing at how long each blast would accelerate the probe, a VERY optimistic number would still would be more like 300 Gs experienced by the probe. The rate of change of acceleration (how quickly you go from constant speed/no acceleration to 300+ Gs and back to 0) would be even more extreme, and causes its own problems.

    • @RocketSurgn_
      @RocketSurgn_ Місяць тому +1

      @AmusedGermanShepherd-er5gp If interested in a bit more specific, this made me curious so I looked back at the scenes showing the attempt in the show, and some of the expectations around the Orion pulsed nuclear propulsion concept that the Staircase project was inspired by. Still very rough estimates from what they show, but at least gives an idea of the scale we're looking at. And not nitpicking, I just thought it was interesting to know if their version of a very plausible concept (Orion) was still reasonable.
      It would be nice to just use the force number they give in the show to figure out the acceleration of the probe and be done with it, but they not only don't mention how long they expect the force to be effective each detonation, the 30kN number they give as a goal for force each bomb exerts on the sail is very wrong. 30kN of force acting on a 1 metric ton probe only gives about 3G's of acceleration, so each bomb would have to be able to exert that force for over 5 minutes instead of the fraction of a second a nuclear detonation lasts.
      Without being given the force we can at least get the average acceleration by using the change in velocity over the time that takes. With an explosion it won't actually be even close to even acceleration even over that short time, because the effect on the sail will decrease the further away it gets (with distance squared) the highest acceleration will be immediate, and much higher than the average, but an average at least gives a rough idea how bad it will be. In the show the first 2 bombs get it from 46.1 km/s to 57 km/s and then 68 km/s, about 11km/s each time which matches evenly splitting the 3,000 km/s goal over 300 detonations which would be the best case for keeping accelerations lower. Then we need to know how long that is spread over. Nuclear detonations happen on time scales of miliseconds, but let's be generous and say each bomb has a full second to meaningfully effect the probe- remember that even at the starting speed the probe will be 46 km from the point of detonation after that 1 second. The math ends up very even that way too!
      Accelerating the probe 11 km/s in 1 second is an acceleration of 11,000 m/(s^2), so an average of 1,100 Gs/ 1100 times the force of gravity every time. The best comparison I can think of for current technology that is built to survive accelerations like this would be guided artillery shells, their electronics have to work after around 14,000 Gs though they are very simple vs a spacecraft including cryo equipment. Soft tissues of a brain... I'm not so sure.
      Since the idea was inspired by some real concepts from the past for space propulsion, quick context- The Orion project proposals used much smaller power detonations (more like 0.1 kT each) every second, and a much larger spacecraft, so the acceleration would have been spread out much more evenly but also be far lower overall. Most of the concepts I've seen also had the explosions directly pushing on a separate 'pusher plate' separated from the craft itself by springs/dampers to absorb the force more evenly as well.
