Dune: The Navigators of The Spacing Guild
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 тра 2020
- In Frank Herbert’s classic 1965 science fiction novel, Dune we are first introduced to the spacing guild. We are not given very much information on them initially. But as the book goes on and as the series continues we learn more about their nature and operations. The Spacing Guild, for the past 10,000 years has maintained a monopoly on space travel. Without the gild the Imperium could not function, there would be no commerce between worlds. The Guild play a key role in the Dynamic of the ruling class of the empire. Under Choam they exist in a partnership involving the Padishah Emperor, The Great Houses of the Landsraad, And the Bene Gesserit.
The Guild uses ships known as heighliners for interstellar travel. These ships are enormous and are used to transport cargo and humans through space. Using Heighliners the guild can travel instantly between worlds. Heighliners ships are capable of this due to their engines which are known as Holtzman Engines, the Dune Encyclopedia, and the Expanded Dune books provide differing origins of the discovery of the Holtzman Effect that allows for the engine to function. The Engines move the Heighliner through space at translight speed but cannot avoid obstacles in space. This is where the navigators come into play.

Your content is like the spice melange of Dune - once you've ingested enough, you can't stop :D
Same! Omg
The spice must flow
I firmly he believe he got the idea for melange from DMT or auyasca
@@ToolFloydChimera impossible for your first guess, as we simply did not know about DMT back then.
@@PillowWillow007 dmt was first extracted from a plant in the 1940’s
Post-Transhumanism before the term was coined. One of the many points Frank Herbert was way ahead of his time. As someone said (I sadly don´t remember who):"Dune is very likely the only book from our time that could be understood by humans thousands of years in the future.".
Eh, I love Dune but that's nonsense.
Thorsten Frank I think that Iain M banks was thinking of doing that with his culture universe but sadly he passed away before he could do it. There are still humans in the “culture” why? why the minds kept them alive? pets?
@@wallabywall-e1540 Great fan of Iain M. Banks Culture.
I think the answer was given relatively often in the books - the minds were more or less indifferent to other forms of life and yet so advanced that they had no interest in enslaving or destroying life forms without neccesity.
I never understood it as pet holder/pet relationship. Rather I saw it as some kind of indifferent gods looking at heir creation, enjoying the element of chaos they bring into it, while understanding that the Culture life forms created them. IMB´s view on religion or how it should be and another example of his "onion skin" concept.
But I may be wrong.
Thorsten Frank dont they explain it as being tools to manipulate you the war they know is coming against the “other” ?
@@Tuberiascaesar Because it required something that females lacked.
I always found the Guild to be one the most interesting concept of Dune, even more that the Bene Gesserit. Maybe because the navigators are (almost) an alien lifeform in a universe full of humans.
The Guild Steersman mutated over thousands of years while living on massive Heighliner spaceships. They have become more like fish because they "swim" in zero gravity. This is actually more realistic than having constant and ever-present artificial gravity like in Star Wars or Star Trek. Making constant artificial gravity would require a lot of effort. In the long run, spacefaring humans will just evolve into fish people, while the humans that colonized the myriad or planets with gravity remained similar to humans of our time.
You need to read the prequels and learn about Norma Cenva, The Oracle of Time
Try and choose to pick the most interesting concept out of a universe brimming with interesting concepts... It can't possibly be done...
I can't believe I never heard of dune before the Internet, seems like the inspiration for 40k and fallout
40k added the idea of Chaos and xenos races, but yeah, they pretty much just ripped off the Dune lore. Pretty lame
@Laltluangliana Sailop what did fallout copy from dune? Only the "mentat" pills as far as I know
People keep saying that Star Wars ripped off Dune. I've watched Star Wars since childhood and recently read Dune so I'm pretty familiar with both, I think if Star Wars only took place on Tatooine it could easily be considered a ripoff, but Star Wars largely takes place on a lot of different planets, so apart from The Force and maybe space travel, they are very different.
And a ton of other even larger franchises.. Star wars, a song of ice and fire (game of thrones) to name a few
@@kaspersaldell The Star Wars movie definately borrowed heavily from Jodorosky's Dune movie project.
One minor error, they navigators weren't buoyant in the gas in their life support pods, they used suspensors to float. They did it because they spent most of their lives in zero g and their muscles couldn't support their weight. It's also interesting that most art depicts them as being naked when the ones described in the books usually wear a kind of one piece coverall.
Amazing video! This is how I understand Paul's threat to the Spacing Guild works:
Paul is more prescient than the Spacing Guild in that he can see the far distant future and beyond. The Spacing Guild cannot nearly see that far ahead. There are some timelines that he ratifies his threat and destroys the spice. The Spacing Guild, therefore, senses these alternate timelines that Paul has destroyed the spice, they don't know where he is now and they see him as a very real threat since they see future realities that they aren't able to be prescient anymore.
If this is what is meant, Frank Herbert is a pretty trippy guy
I like this.Makes sense.
the answer why they can't see him is given in the later books i think it was mentioned in dune messiah first the people who have the sight cant see the other people with the sight they only recognize the void and the actions they did to change the timeline. the navigators use this to plan the trap without paul seeing what's coming in messiah
@@Linkavalon yeah, it was kind of ingenious that Herbert had Paul give the Guild the tools to trap him in book 2 at the end of book 1
Uhm, I thought Navigators don't actually see the obstacles, they merely chose the one timeline where, after travelling, the ship is still in one piece - an explanation that I found to be very intriguing.
@@diverguy3556 I only read Frank so far
They fold space so they actually don’t go anywhere. They were just able to sell the idea that they choose the right path for job security
So, I watched the video and it got me thinking about the scene where Reverend Mother Mohiam meets with Scytale and Edric. They came away with the feeling that Edric was a bit of a fool compared to his co-conspirators, but I wonder now if that was entirely the case. The others acted like Edric didn't completely understand what was going on, but he was a Guild Navigator, and based on what we learn later in the series, one of the very best they had. Edric could see all the possible outcomes. Now, he was clearly no politician or master of subtle wordplay-we saw that. But surely he saw how that meeting would end. He could see all the paths right up until they got near Paul Atreides. He could also see the chaos that blocked his vision-the disturbance in precognition caused by a fellow precognitive like Paul. So, Edric must have seen that at a future point that was not far off most paths led to a future where Paul was no longer muddying the waters. It looked to him, and no doubt the rest of the Guild, like the plan was destined to succeed.
So why probe carefully in that first encounter? Edric already knew they would go ahead with the plan. He already knew that his colleagues would try to cut him out, and he knew it didn't matter. Edric speaks rather bluntly and comes across as simple because he's been trained to give responses that lead to the most predictable results. He's not the least skilled at wordplay or reading subtle signs, but why would he develop those skills? Why would a Guild Navigator ever need them?
Beautiful analysis, which this intro summary video of the Guild completely lacked
You should do a reading of the books I’d pay for that
Yeah damn, I would listen to audiobooks of say GOT or Dune for sure, he doesn’t need to do the voices or anything just his usual reading like he does
@@Ultriix I think the audible version of Dune was really good and it is not that expensive.
Its like "Ford Prefect" is reading DUNE material !! 👍😉 From HGTTG Movie ...
YES
Y.ou do have a nice narrative voice.
The release of Dune 2021 by Denis has me trapped in the rabbit hole that is your channel. Thank you so much for getting me to delve deeper and deeper into Dune. Kinda crazy I never had, as I'm a massive fan of both SW and WH40K. But either way, thank you Quinn for the backlog of lore videos 💛
Back when the Dune movie version was released, I went to see it with my father, who was also a scifi fan. Afterwards, I bought all six books and read like an addict. It's been so many years since then; after watching your commentaries, I feel I'd like to revisit the books. Thank you for your well-spoken and thoughtful insights.
They consume huge quantities of spice! Their minds are hard to read, they move in strange ways.
Great job Quinn, keep up the amazing werk!!
I have the edition of Dune you showed at the beginning. I was in Barnes & Noble and couldn’t resist buying it. I already have it in paperback and on Kindle. It’s so gorgeous with the dark turquoise edging and cover. I found your channel before the 8th season of GoT and was thrilled to discover you did Dune content as well. After seeing Arrival, I have a degree in linguistics, I can’t wait to see what Denis Villeneuve does with Dune. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but you have a beautiful voice. Between your insightful commentary and lovely voice I enjoy this channel very much. Don’t worry I’m probably old enough to be your mother so I’m not coming on to you, just appreciating beauty when it hear it.
I really hope they make an appearance in the new film. I'd love to see Denis' take on them!
YESSSS! They have to appear for the movie to be complete.
Hard to even imagine the Navigators being cut
@@Merrick they aren't ever shown in the first book. Only mentioned
I love how every depiction of the guild navigators is different. Some look fishlike or more wormlike like the god emperor, or some look like David Lynch's abomination, but it's fucking great. I like that Frank Herbert didn't need to explain the complex details of their features because our imagination already did and look at all the artwork that came from it.
I became a patreon today because your voice and the story of Dune are helping me with working from home during COVID-19.
Thank you.
I’ve read Dune maybe 30 times and you captured the whole thing that Paul realized, he that can destroy a thing controls it! Nice video to introduce someone who is interested in what I consider the greatest sci-fi ever written!
I red the books years ago, and it is really a challenging read even for a skilled reader...but you explain the lines so well here in your videos, it is really extremely interesting and easy to grasp! Can’t wait for the next one, thank you!
More DUNE! Yum!
This is THE place for DUNE info...
So glad you are so passionate about it...
As one who has read the pre- dune books, just all praise Norma.
A real overcomer, I love her. She would give a motivational TED talk, lol. However her half-sister, my friend Ticia is the most cowardly, bitter and stupid in the Duneverse.
nice works!! Love the ambiance in your vidéos
I've been watching your videos for years, thank you! Incredibly insightful, as always.
...haven't read the Dune series in 40 years. Your intriguing fascination with the endless notions of the possibilities that Herbert offers, are appreciated. Subscribed. 💜
I found your channel from your Denis Villenueve's Dune short impression and I dig it through. And like a below comment said, once sipped the tasted of your contents, you get addicted and your wisdom in Dune Universes multiplies tenfold. followed already!
Your channel is amazing!!! May I just say how thankful am I for all your work on it 🙌 I love Dunes but it’s been years since I read it last, this emerged me right back into that magical book :))
I’ve been watching all your dune videos! I haven’t read the books in over 10 years these are great refreshers. Hopefully you get the respect you deserve once the movie comes out when all the other reviewers get on the dune band wagon
Another great video. I’ve always found the spacing guild fascinating.
Dude, you're so cool.
Love to hang out over coffee and just listen to your insights and knowledge on Dune.
Peace and Thanks for being you!!!
I've been following you for 10190 years, great and awesome presence you have......
I came here a month ago because I was re-watching Bridge4 game of thrones videos. You appear in one of the live chat sessions with him. At the time I was rereading my Dune book, well one of them. So I looked Dune saw your name. Hmmm well he was good with GoT let’s see what he has to say ........... well I think I’ve seen all your videos now. I have to say you’re analyzing of the all things Dune is spot on. You have an amazing delivery. It has truly been a joy to spend my quarantine relaxing with you. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Thank you for making these. I'm a bit older but I've always be a fan of the dune universe.
Honestly I just like the sound of your voice, and your interest for Dune, I am waiting for the Movie, don’t plan to read the books for now, but love how you story tell. it’s like what I would like someone to read me a bed time story, It’s hypnotic and soothing. 😌
I am hooked on your synopses, narrations and insights!
As always, great insight and understanding of the Dune universe.
My understanding of Dune has been greatly enhanced by subscribing to this channel.... Thankyou
Exceptional! Really, well presented. Thanks!
This is the Dune content I needed
Basic facts, proper ideas, new fans
you keep putting out great Dune content. thank you so much. this has become by favorite book series!!
my cat also enjoys your voice
that was absolutely incredible i think im gonna buy that book, because i want the story to continue a bit..ty so much!
I’ve been binge watching your stuff…awesome and thx
Great vid; thanks for uploading!
Lol I was just watching your Ultimate heretics guide. When are you doing Chapterhouse?
he's pulling a Frank Herbert
You are amazing!!!!!! Such great work!
Quinn's excellent content again, truly a scholar and artist of our times.
I love your Dune videos man. Awsome video
Quinn, you’re awesome! Another great video. Thanks!
Like a helmsman you steer away from the prequel/sequels. I found that they provided excellent insight in to filling the backstory of what set up the conditions for the Corrino empire.
Great video! I really enjoy them. Thanks!
Wonderful channel! Love your approach and intelligent content!!
I’m subscribing just to hear you comment on the story and reading from the books...! You are one of a kind sir...
Just found your channel and it’s awesome!!! Your reading voice is o engaging and your views on the nuances of these novels intriguing! I’m subscribing right now!!!
Yjsml up very much for this wonderful material
A prevailing theory is that once humans establish themselves on planets other than earth, that evolutionary divergence will give rise to new species of human. I think Herbert did a wonderful job in fleshing this theory out in his Dune series. Navigators, Tleilaxu, Ixians, Bene Gesserit, Honored Matres...even the Fremen...all of them following their own evolutionary path. Brilliant writing.
Fantastic video! Great explanation!
I really enjoy watching your videos. thank you.
I like your collection of books behind you!
Thank you for your videos❤️
I F****ng love your videos man!!
Excellent video! You have a great voice.
Great content man.
Quality content. Thank you.
Quinn should be hired to do a a new audiobook version of the saga.
If we look at the new Heighliner we can see the interior to be merely a tube or tunnel for transport ships to pass, and a blue planet on the other side the incoming ship departed from as it entered the Heighliner passing through to be in orbit above Caladan. This was when Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam came and tested the box on Paul.
So here are some quantum mechanics principles I have abused to serve as a plot device to put some science in the fiction:
The Guild Navigators are using massive quantities of spice to expand the hyper-quantum prescient properties melange such as prophetic visions, genetic memory recollection, and mentat cognitive capabilities from metaphysical to physical applications such as conscious integration with the quantum substructure of the Heighliners themselves, allowing the Navigators mental control of the probable location of waveforms in a controlled quantum superposition between two planets possibly hundreds or thousands of light years apart. They maintain a conscious entanglement with each waveform and particle, allowing the Heighliner to exist simultaneously at both starting and ending planets as both the superposition of a waveform in an indeterminate quantum state, yet "preobserved" by the conscious entanglement of the Guild Navigators to allow local decoherence and partial collapse of the waveform of the Heighliner into a reality in which transport ships can pass.
The space through the interior of the Heighliner a transport ship passes exists as a non-temporal, non-spacious wormhole generated by the Holtzman engines created the fold in the spacetime continuum, another benefit of the famous scientist Ibrahim Vaughn Holtzman discoveries, along with Shield Technology, Anti-Gravity Suspensors and Glowglobes. But the positioning and course of the fold must be mentally directed by a Guild Navigator using spice gas to avoid gravitational forces like planets and stars, and see into the future with hyper-prescient precision to make corrections ahead of time.
Very good summary of the navigators. You should tie it in with Norma Cenva and the creation of the Guild Heighliners.
Great video dude thnx... Can't wait for the movie...!!!!
Thanks for the great video. I am sooooo glad they are splitting up the movie. The first part was good. 😀
thanks for the video.
You sir, have a honeyed voice for radio!!! Love all your videos Quinn :)
Great video
Your videos are great, thank you! I would love to hear more about the sandworms and why they were ultimately destroyed with the terraformation of Arrakis.
I'm fascinated just ordered the first book.
oh man you just make the BEST dune content on yt, your work is deeply appreciated, keep up the awesome work
the known universe is huge and yet there are only humans. Ever heard of the anthropic principle? sounds simple but it’s not, one explanation is that we are alone in the universe, I wonder if Herbert knew this and that’s the reason there are no aliens in the Dune universe. Food for thought. I like your channel keep it up!
Love the dune vids.
I never understood why the Guild didn't just seize control of Arrakis. How would anyone send troops to stop them?
3 dune videos in 3 days? I love it
I was was always SUPER interested in this
You make me want to read the books again
Keep up the great videos. Can't wait to see the new vision of this classic tale when it finally comes out. So far, I think they have made some very nice casting decisions. It will be interesting to see what happens though. I am sure you and I will appreciate it, but I have heard a lot of people say "Dune is an awesome book which will never make a good movie." Well, I sort of see their point but really liked both Lynch's version and the Sci-Fi Channel reboot Actually, if it weren't for the cheap looking stillsuits, I think the SciFi version was superior. So did my dad, who was a huge Dune fan right from the beginning.
I really hope the new Dune coming out will make us take a standing ovation.
That isn't what most are concerned with these days. Most of the naysayers are jumping on the anti-sjw bandwagon because Liet is now female. I mean it is kinda a weird chioice for the role, but some are already convinced to boycott it based solely on that reason alone. They see Rey the Mary sue and Ghostbusters 2016 in everything with the slightest hint of wokeness.
Thanks for teaching me how to Dune!
The guild thought their services made them masters of the imperium but their dependancy on spice made them slaves. I
And the Roman would know their slave by the name addict.
I believe the Navigator's chamber had null gravity to simulate the conditions on his ship, and the webbed hands and feet helped them swim through air in zero gravity.
I bought the books because of your videos.
Thank you!
The Spacing Guild is fascinating.
Just like the navis nobility from 40k
40K's Navigator Houses are a clear nod to the huge influence Dune has had on the Warhammer 40,000 setting, as is the whole notion of the Emperor on Terra.
Hello Quinn! I love your stuff, especially on Dune. Have you thought about doing a video on the Houses in the Dune universe and their histories?
Nice!
I never realized how many references there are to Dune. Spore the game has space mining as it's primary trade. South Park recently had it's episode about fecal transplants and Tom Brady's "spice malange"
I like your happy nerdy nature :)
Sure have been waiting like forever for the Ultimate guide Chapterhouse
Would you consider doing a bookshelf tour? Eagerly waiting for your Chapterhouse video. Thank you so much for getting me into Dune!
TY Quinn
I recently found Navigators Of Dune at dollar tree. Some decent titles go through there every once in a while.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I've just gotta say. . . . . I really like your outfit.
good video on the intergalactic fish people pilots.
unrelated to the fish men of Dune. I just finished the First Law Trilogy and would recommend it if you haven't read it already.
Thank you for explaining the navigator does not fold space themselves.
Thank you
The Navigators are the faction I'm the most fascinated with. They're held in reverence, have prescient abilities, and even the Bene Gesserit grudgingly respect them for this ability. The SyFy series really did that scene well where one emerges from his spice gas pod totally unearthly looking (and seemingly baked out of his gourd). I've asked myself how exactly do they steer the ship but if they're folding space they're simply making sure no stars or obstacles are in the way. Seems like a decent way of making a living for someone introverted and not minding the mutation-if you've reached that point self-image and esteem are probably concepts that are null and void with the mind expanding powers of total spice immersion with the caveat of forever being addicted.
