Ok so 3 Body Problem has one of the most Horrifying scenes I think I've ever seen in a tv show. If you've seen the series then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about and this is something I think will stick with me for ever. I've only ever done one other scene breakdowns like this where I talked about how a scene was absolutely devastating. That just happened to be the Red Wedding which yeah DnD don't mind killing off several characters at once I guess.
I blamed them for ruining Game Of Thrones but after watching 3 Body Problem they pulled me right back in. It's one of the most impactful things I've ever watched and in this video we're gonna be breaking it down. This includes the subliminal images that appear within it, the deeper meaning and also how it may be more realer than you think.
So come with me bugs because its time to face judgement day and we as a people need to pull ourselves together. Pull yourself together mate and hit the thumbs up and also please subscribe for videos like this every day. With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into 3 Body Problem.
Now just to set the scene up we have Auggie being asked if he nanofiber tech can be used as a way to wipe out the judgement day. This will let him get his hands on..

Let us know your thoughts on the scene and check out our breakdown of The Red Wedding here - ua-cam.com/video/6uxdUX8Y7hY/v-deo.html
in ... chinese version its only 1 old guy and hired guns on the ship.
in netflix version they put an entire school of children inside the ship. WTF netflix?
I'd be intersted to learn if you've seen the *_三体 Three-body_* Episode 29 version of the same scene. Yes, _29._ Becuse the *Chinese TV series* used 30 episodes for the first book, whereas *Netflix* only used five. *_Five._*
@@thisusernamenowtaken Its not even the number of episodes. the quality is like comparing professional television work to some barren harmful soap opera (netflix) -
chinese version get me excited, netflix makes me yawn of boredom. that easy.
also it is quite funny how Chinese 6th longer version is so much better then the cut one.
Thank you Chinese Person for your insightful comparison.
@@davestr7031 im not chinese. I just watched the chinese version : ) . it is on amazon as three-body
That's cutting edge technology right there.
literally lol
HAH! 😂
Pun intended.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too soon😢
Really turned them into a 3 body problem.
🥁
By the way the nano silk is set, 3 body problem is for kids. 4 body problem for adults
Lie down and you won't get sliced.
@@travelback5700 the book explained it must take place at day time for that very reason.
@@travelback5700 you do risk getting peeled; and I think that might be worse. . .
Book readers: you bugs ain't see nothing yet.
wait for the foil
@@forrestfreeri794 What a lovely painting you are.
@@lynnchance8219😱
I hear that a lot. That also means that they WASTE a lot of time, to get to the "good stuff"...
No, thank you. I quit at episode 6, after constantly drifting off. Incredibly boring.
Maybe I'll read the books, though.
It brings a tear droplet to my eye.
I really hope they finish this series. The books are absolutely INCREDIBLE!
We deserve the tear drop at the very least
what a useless comment. It's a fantastic trilogy. @@onurkayarlar935
It seems like they're already working on the next season, writing wise, but I dont know how this is going to work out... The shows already been pushed out of the top 10 after less than a week and it cost $160m to make ($20m an episode). Shows that have cost half as much and done just as well, numbers wise, have been axed.
For all the hate Paul gives to D&D, they might be the only reason why this show gets renewed, season to season.
Absolutely incredible. We do need to see a live-action of the Droplet and I wanna know if were gonna see a Trisol.......San-Ti alien. Coz ive heard some fans have a wild theory on their size.🧐
Not really content for video.its just big ideas which can work only in books,many scifi books have this problem.i doubt they will continue,need lost of money and a lot of changes to work as show or movie.
I will never look at dental floss the same way again.
That weapon would demoralize enemy forces. It’s terrifying
Yeah so messed up, no point in even fighting back
Absolutely, I would go so far as to say that nano-fiber would usher in a new era equivalent to the invention of steel or plastic. The potential as a weapon is clear but it would lead to something truly beyond our ability to imagine.
wait till you see the droplet
@@olamideolaleye5690 Oh, fuck. It's been so long since I read the books yet the second you said that my heart sank like when I read that section. How about when our solar system is minding it's own business then boom 2D!
This weapon really isn't more demoralizing than plenty of other weapons in existence, neither to enemy forces or civilian populations.
We've just grown extremly sensitive to this kind of sensory input, and also very good at prenting them graphically. Also, the children make it even more emotional.
But compared to counless weapons employed in the past, this really doesn't stand out.
"We did so many offscreen" - director in regards to not killing children in the most horrific way imaginable on screen
For me personally the scene where the aliens warned Ye Wenji not to reply, and she did anyway was waaaay more horrifying than the ship scene. It's death of thousand vs death of the entire human race.
I m still asking myself, why they didnt want a reply?
@@mauriciobecker7916The San-Ti who sent the first reply explained it.
The “listener” was a pacifist, which is unusual among the San-Ti ren, and he/she/it/whatever was warning Ye that it wouldn’t end well for humanity if the San-Ti came to the Earth.
At that point, the San-Ti only know the Earth’s direction relative to their star system; however, they don’t know how far away we are because they don’t know how long Ye’s first signal had to travel before reaching them… Based on direction alone, there are potentially billions of other planets in the universe where the signal could have come from.
Netflix leaves it to the viewers to infer that if Ye sends a direct reply to the San-Ti’s response, it will be very easy for them to pinpoint the Earth’s location based on how much time passes between when they sent their first response and when they receive a direct reply from us.
@@mauriciobecker7916because that particular alien knew his people would wreck any intelligent species they found. As is most likely the case in reality for any type 1-2 civilization. You don't want competition on a galactic scale. As long as a species is relegated to one planet, they aren't a threat to your multi planet society. As a multi planet society you ALWAYS have the high ground. If you let another species get out into space, it puts your species in danger because now you are both competing for the high ground.
If aliens do know about us, AND want us gone. We are already gone. And there is nothing we can do about it. They could wipe us out from distances so vast they would not even have to get out of bed. Even if they did grace us with a system visit, all they would have to do is throw rocks at us from the belt until we are gone or surrender. Assuming they care if we surrender. A type 3 and above simply would not care about us and would just ignore us, however, then we have the lawnmower problem. Ever mowed the lawn and carefully avoided the ant nests as you did? Or even check if there were any nests there in the first place?
We are currently a type .75 civilization.
I bet we have already lost, if there is an alien intelligence out there aware of us.
@@seraeggobutterworth5247 Thanks!!! And what about the Santis VR. Who send it
@@mauriciobecker7916 Have you finished the first Netflix season? I don’t want to inadvertently spoil anything for you if you’re still watching.
It’s another case where the show doesn’t explicitly state the complete answer; some points are clearly explained but other aspects have to be inferred by the audience.
I’ll post an explanation if you want, but with a spoiler warning so others can scroll by.
For anyone wondering WHY they did this it's explained in the books better. They need to retrieve the data core from the server. How do they get it quickly? You can't infiltrate them because you have no spies on the inside, you can't do a normal Navy SEAL style attack because they could destroy the core before you get to it. But the nanofibers are invisible and they PERFECTLY cut objects. So you can cut through the whole ship before anyone understands what is even happening and simple reassemble the data core even if it's cut to pieces. They subtly foreshadowed this with the earlier diamond cutting scene where they perfectly cut a diamond.
This was the only way they could quickly get the data core to study Sophon in more detail. Getting rid of the cult was a nice side benefit as they considered them terrorists/traitors.
legend, found the show too slow, typical dumb bloke that needs things go bang for my attention span to keep up so yeh, but thank you
Thank you.
All of that is explained in the show too...
That was common sense, plus they are humanity's enemy. They were not innocent.
Yeah, but one wrong slice and the core would have been cut in half as well?
The Universe “winking” messed me up.👀🤦🏾♀️
That sh*t BLEW MY MIND!!! 😳😳😳
As terrifying as that scene was, what the aliens can do in the next two books makes it look like nothing.
Droplets 💧 have left the chat
Sounds like a nice gift from the Trisolarians, hope it doesn’t wipe out all of the space fleet
Never read the books, but watched some videos because you know can't wait. Jesus Frieza and Beerus can't even do that.
@@bxcloud104 I read the books and saw the Chinese live action interpretation and I gotta say this is the first time I’m actually rooting for the aliens 👽 which may be intentional.
No spoilers please 😉
I was nervous about the adaptation, but they did a great job keeping the science and improving the flat characters from the book. Looking forward to more discussions!
The more I think about or discuss the show, the less I enjoy it. I'll probably try to completely forget about it until Season 2 so I can then enjoy that.
This take is insane. This is a decent adaptation, but the book is incredible. I’m trying to figure out why they split the one main male character into two different female characters. It felt slow compared to the book and didn’t have the same impact as one scientist piecing this mystery together all on his own. Not to mention the introduction of the extra 4 male characters who have absolutely nothing of interest to do for basically the entire show until the last two episodes.
It was a scary scene. The book describes it, but the show puts the horror in it.
look at chinese version of the same scene.
@@trauty666 which episode is that?
seeing the opening scene of ghost ship as child ingrained that image in my head for my entire life, i even think about it every time i get on a boat
Yep. Pretty crazy scene. Way more scary than Ghost Ship scene since it was all invisible.
whats a ghost ship scene? tried to google it/ didn't work
@@Katarina-wr2hi ghost ship is a movie with a similar scene
My first thought was "Wow, they're pulling a Cube!"
Yes oh my goodness my jaw was on the floor 💯 I agree !!!!!! Thank you so much for covering this series this is absolutely my favorite show ever !
I laughed so hard in episode 2 when Auggie Salazar was speaking with the detective and she said " I think I disappointment her because I quit her course and switched into applied science" and he said "maybe that's why she killed herself" That was so freaking funny. Great show but funniest line.
The detective is my favorite character/actor of the series. He nailed his role
@@richardlandrum714yeah, "Wongers" absolutely killed it!
i rmb i first watched him in johnny english, and then in one fantastic episode of Black Mirror. he really went onto act in so many crazy good movies and even in MCU. love his character so much
I hope they manage to pull off the droplet scene from the second book. If you think that this scene was devastating that is on a whole other level.
whats going on there&&
yea tell us
@@jayknight139it's a HUGE spoiler. It happens in the year 2200 or something. Humanity at that point has a real space fleet.
The droplet is a San-Ti spaceship-weapon that hits targets at ftl speed, killing millions of people and threatening earth
Can't wait to see the 2d version of solar system
That scene was a literal jaw drop moment
What I like about this episode from Netflix is that they treated Mike Evans as a charismatic cult leader with his followers, and most of them stayed and lived with him on the Judgement Day ship. That is why the nanofiber scene was so impactful. That being said, the show writers failed to make Evans at least try to destroy the data disk because that was the whole point of using the nanofibers.
I think Netflix's Mike Evans still believes that the San-Ti have a reason for letting Wade destroy Judgment Day so he kept the disk safe. This works well since the San-Ti literally allowed Wade to access the files despite the warning that it will take millions of years to decrypt. Nevertheless, I think the ETO was handled better in the Netflix show because it shows that they are a morally gray organization that still believe humanity can improve if they coexist with the San-Ti.
I think the creative decision to make Judgement Day less of a military vessel and more of a cult-like commune was excellent. It made the scene more horrific and visceral. My nitpick is seeing Mike Evans communicating with the Trisolarans over an old radio with his voice rather than being with text on a computer. I get why they did it, but scientifically it makes no sense. We couldn’t have phone conversations in real-time with aliens in a ship that is several light years away without having faster-than-light communication, which we have not discovered yet. I get that it’s sci-fi but the whole plot is that human technological progress has been stopped.
@@Escape.Velocity The San-Ti gave the ETO their advanced technology while sabotaging humanity’s science at the same time. This is technically a thing since the Wallbreakers were given advanced tech to sabotage the Wallfacers.
he played a similar role as a james bond villian
@@Escape.Velocity With how D&D decided to make the show their own, they changed some of the mechanics of how the narrative works. In the book, there was no alien VR headset but a contemporary VR HMD with a full-body suit, and players were invited through an online portal monitor by the ETO. By introducing the alien wares and how the Sophons (protons) covers the world, we lead to believe that through the Sophons, that is how Evan’s were able to communicate with the San-Ti/Trisolarian in real time.
While reading the book, this scene alone stood out as one that would work really well in a movie, and it did, but with the horrific addition of children. Unless I'm mistaken, there were no kids directly implied being on the ship in the book, so it was a bit of a shock. But I guess the children were included for emotional impact.
As you started getting into at the end - there's a huge emphasis on drawing from very real experiments that have been done, but pushing them to the absolute limits of what we think could be possible (because their science is now halted). It's a point made by Wade later ("develop the technology we already have"). There are examples of this throughout the series, but you could probably do a good video on Nuclear Pulse Propulsion and episode 8, if you wanted to. Specifically look at "Project Orion" within nuclear prolusion. It was intended to accelerate towards Alpha Centauri, which is also where the San Ti are from (4 lightyears away in a three body system).
“Your Nano fibers will save lives Auggie.” …. Record scratch 😮
just not theirs lol
What this show calls nanofibers is a concept that has existed in sci-fi for decades. Since at least the early 80's. In cyberpunk literature they are referred to as monofilament wires. and in cyberpunk, one of the uses is as a weapon. monofilament garrote's are used to sever peoples heads, and put on the leading edges of swords to make them sharper then the sharpest scalpels. Of course, while these monofilament or nanofibers would be weaponized, and they would make navy's obsolete (string a nanofiber between to submersible 2000 dollar drones and they would easily sink any multi-billion dollar aircraft carrier), but the most significant use of such fibers would be to build space elevators with. Space elevators would revolutionize the space industry and would make moon bases and moon mining possible, as it would completely eliminate the cost of rocket fuel to deliver and retrieve payloads form space.
how come the spool does not get cut?????????
@@esecallum it could break, depends on tensile strength.
Wasn’t the possibility of space elevators the reason why the Trisolarans targeted Wang (Auggie in Netflix) with the countdown? I need to read the books.
@@rieyuki I haven't read the books, but this was the first thing that popped into my head. I have watched a lot of videos by futurists and the topic of Space Elevators and what we need to make them a reality is something that has been on my mind for a while now.
Also how does the spool cut when in the ship scene the ship is lazily going at a speed that, from my limited understanding on fibers, be slow enough for there not to be enough pressure to force the spool to penetrate (at least, not until the ship moves far enough where the spool generates the required pressure via tugging)? Additionally, it seems to have been going slow enough where a person getting cut would actually be able to notice in time via pain to move out the way.
Thanks for this video. I'm through episode 6, and it's hard to find anything that discusses a single episode without spoiling the whole thing. I wish these shows were not released a whole season at once, to allow episode breakdowns like you do with other shows.
Scene had my whole body hurting
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering about the dark forest theory.
Totally skipped the breakthrough that they made with the uncuttable poles that they had on each bank. Pretty strong stuff to withstand the same force that was cutting the ship apart.
I was hoping someone would bring up Newton’s third law.
They also left out Ye Wenjie literally killing her husband and the Red Coast Base commander which, to me, is egregious. That’s an essential part of her character development.
@@Escape.Velocity why and how did she killed them? what happened?
@@Katarina-wr2hi In the books Ye Wenjie never had a child with Mike Evans. Instead, she married and had a child with one of the guards from Red Coast Base. If I remember correctly what happened was, she bounced the signal off the sun without permission and the base commander found out along with her husband. I cant remember if they were going to discipline her or make her leave the base or what exactly was going to happen, but afterwards Ye Wenjie, the base commander, and her husband were walking around Red Coast Base, which is on a mountain, and the base commander & her husband were climbing down a rope on the edge of the cliff and she basically cut it and they both fell to their death.
Love that you are using Quinn’s channel intro on this video. He almost exclusively uses it on his 3 body problem videos ❤
Its like I knew nanofiber scene was coming but I didn't realize how horrifying it was when it was actually happening.
I thought I was the only one scared sh*tless after watching 3-body problem because it feels like we are already in an image sophon controlled world.
The nanowire scene was done in John Brunner's near Future book Stand On Zanzibar. A military hovercraft is landing and goes through a molecular strand (Brunner's word for it). Most people survive as quadriplegics, one soldier turning his head at that exact moment is decapitated. Just as horrifying a scene.
It's semi accurate, because the weight would certainly keep the ship together after such a clean cut, but I'm not sure if it would actually result in the ship being cut, because it would just rapidly cold weld/bond back together due to the cut being soo clean and down to the atomic level, it would be like it was never cut at all. Only things that could immediately fall apart would be affected, which would still be pretty useful though.
As someone who has read the book series (included the “prequel” Ball Lightning, and the fan-fiction Redemption of Time (which is mild canon), I have never been so happy to see such a faithful adaption of the series (as season 1 incorporates parts of all 3 to keep it more linear & setup future events). This was perfectly executed & so happy to see my imagination of the scene captured so brilliantly. The Ten-Cent series was great but only really hits well if you know the books inside & out. I just can’t wait to see what they do with Book 2/3 & the first half of Redemption of Time as I think they will skip the romantic bits later in the novel.
Wasn’t this scene in the book set with a skeleton crew and was performed quickly so the cult couldn’t delete the files? Doesn’t seem to faithful to the book to me.
Since have not read the books, you bring up a interesting point. Was the scene pumped up?!, from the book.
Either way it is cringe worthy.
@@MrChilidog9Yeah I heard it was jacked up for the show to make it more dramatic and morally heavy. I have to say I think it was a great choice
@@AUniqueName I feel the same way. Made it feel more authentic vs. militaristic
@@MrChilidog9 if you use words in the wrong context just as a catch all for "i dun like it" they lose meaning and make you look foolish. Nothing about this is cringe worthy. What they did with the scene is one of those few moments where visual media elevated a scene from its written source material.
Loved the Netflix interpretation of the books so far. I really hope we get the complete series. I'm watching the Chinese version of the books on Prime and I really like their interpretation as well. I will say this, the Chinese version unfolds more like a murder mystery. Also, as a physicist, the Netflix version paints physicist in a far cooler light than most are😊!
What did you think about Mike Evans’ faster-than-light communication with aliens light years away via an old radio haha
@@Escape.Velocity , It's not as crazy as it initially sounds. It's based on quantum entanglement (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance). It's also how the aliens can instantly react to things happening on earth with their subatomic particle size computer. The aliens entangled four particles, sending two to earth and keeping two. Once entangled, whatever happens to one particle instantaneously effects the other entangled particles, even at great distances.

It’s clearly explained how they are able to communicate instantaneously.
D & D I totally forgive you for ruining GOT now lol
That was the most horrifying scene I've ever seen. I wish I could unsee it now.
Even tho I knew what was going to happen, it still gave me goosebumps, it was such a brutal scene.
I feel for those children. They didn't know their parents turned traitor and put them up against the whole of humanity. Sad that this had to happen.
You sound like a zionist
I just finished the season yesterday. Good stuff
ME TOO
@Ch.at-Me-On-TheHeavyspoilers I always get the fake guys ask me where I live so I can pay a hundred bucks for a PlayStation 5
Totally thought the Resident Evil laser scene was from Cube
*_Cube_* (1997) is _so_ much better than *_Resident Evil_* (2002). Paul W. S. Anderson's version of slicing humans comes off as a braindead version of the original. WHY WOULD THE COMPUTER WASTE TIME AND ENERGY TO USE SINGLE BEAMS AT FIRST, WHEN IT _CLEARLY_ CAN USE A GRID??? *FFS.* 🤦♂
In the books, there is not this many people on the ship and the "auggie" character has no idea how many people were killed. There is only one or two people on the deck that they see pass the nanofibers
The Dark Forest theory is very easy to counter, and I think this counter-argument could answer the Fermi paradox.
1. A species sufficiently advanced enough to travel through space are almost certainly aware of the Dark Forest theory and their version of the Fermi paradox.
2. A species that announces their presence must be either peacefully naive or genuinely peaceful, considering the "Dark Forest" risk of exposing themselves.
3. A species that purposefully hides their presence is far more likely to have hostile intentions, or at least hostile tendencies. Even a defensive posture could lead to war.
4. Any two species that meet peacefully will almost certainly over time cultivate a strong friendship and ally to protect each other out of mutual benefit.
5. A hostile species that threatens an alliance of two or more species is putting itself at massive risk and disadvantage, 1v2 or worse.
6. Logically it is in the best interest of every species to quickly announce itself and ally with other species to gain the various strategic advantages offered.
7. Given that life is rare, it is highly unlikely that life would develop independently on two different planets in the same solar system at the same time.
8. Therefore it would be de-facto understood that each intelligent species owns it's solar system, even if it hasn't yet ventured away from it's home planet.
9. Any extraterrestrial presence in another species' solar system would almost certainly be interpreted as a threat to the native species. This would put the visitors in terrible standing with the local native species and with the wider community of species.
10. Logically, the first interstellar venture of any space-faring species would be to their nearest neighbouring star.
11. Therefore, if there is life elsewhere in our galaxy and if they are able to reach us, they are probably waiting for us with peaceful intentions near Promixa Centauri. If they were hostile, they would have invaded us by now.
The biggest problem with the Dark Forest is actually hyper abundance of resources in the universe comparatively to the scale chances for life to occur. It may appear small to non-space dwelling races but as we scale up the Kardishev ladder and discern methodologies for taping into greater forms of energy …
There could be hundreds of intelligent races in the galaxy and even in our cluster but we still got 59,722 stars visible from telescope within 100 light years. Thats a lot of future Dyson swarms, lots of mechanized custom worlds and hundreds of millions of years just to tap get through all of that, and thats just in our neighborhood.
Through genetic exchanges and intermixing, we could more easily become the combined race of all intelligent races around us, than truly get through all those stars, so actual ware-fare for territory between species would kind of become meaningless
I love how the inventor willingly created the weapon knowing itnwould be used on innocent unarmed people, then tried to blame it all on the guy who recruited her as his and only his fault.
that is not why she created the nano fibers. I don’t know where you got that idea.
@@bloodaonadeline8346 Nope, but it's how she used them.
If you watch she chooses to believe what was said to her that it could very well only have a skeleton crew on the ship. The higher up would have 100% known there were innocent people on there including children, but he was known to manipulate people into getting them to do what he wants. So he said what he did so she finished the job.
"Nope, but it's how she used them." Arguably once she oversaw the creation of them it was out of her hands anyway.
it makes it weird how in the end she publishes her work so anyone can use it. Anyone? When you've just seen what the technology is capable of?
@@CG-MP because vast good can come of it and if its used as a terrible weapon, you need to make sure everyone has it so no one will dare use it on a mass scale or that only one faction will have it to gain power over all.
Saturday night I binge the entire series going in blind and getting to this part was jaw dropping. About the same shock and horror getting to the eclipse segment with Berserk with the early 90s version. Well done! Many more seasons to come! At least D&D will be working with a completed works 🤞
Netflix learn from Sense8! Don’t take me to this place and leave me here. Season 2 and beyond is a must!
Unfortunately the show's viewership and ratings are not what Netflix usually expects
... Season 2 seems unlikely
@@chetanveersidhu753 wait what? Isn’t it the 2nd most popular now? I’ve haven’t been this excited about any cinematic feature since Sense8 and Lucy before that. Not even GOT had me this lit.
Got a feeling that this will get the Netflix treatment.
I know I'm fucked up for saying this but I love how they added kids to that scene, pretty sure that wasn't in the books (if so, I forgot probably due to trauma haha). It really added an additional layer of industrial strength OOF to that scene. Also, my good sir you have spoiled me with Theory Time and now I'm expecting it every video. How dare you, sir.
I’m with ya. The kids would’ve just grown up to be Santi cultists as well. Nothing of value was lost.
the cultists put their own children in harm's way. In a way you could even say the cultists used their own kids as human shields.
@@FigmentForever They are the underage members of Hamas.
It makes it more realistic. Just look at what's going on now around the world, when most of the people dying in so-called "war" are women and children along with other non-combatants.
As much as I hate kids being harmed in any way, the scene adds realism. We all know what happens to them and that's enough. You ever watch Jurassic Park and all the sequels and notice that the dinos never eat kids?
Could your team please make a video on Apple tvs Constellation show? I could really use an explanation, lol.
The fact that they made a malevolent shrine/kitchen is insane 😧
I did not understand how this approach was any better than a missile strike. They were apparently afraid of hitting the harddrive.
So what would prevent the nanofibers of cutting the harddrive in two? Or for it to get utterly crushed and burned by debris?
Seemed a bit stupid (but a spectacle, nonetheless).
The Fermi paradox doesn’t say we have to live in the dark like you said; the dark forest hypothesis says that. 7:50
This is merely a drop in an ocean of what's coming in future seasons I assure you. You're in for a good time!
Aliens: “We come in peace.”
Humans: “We come in pieces.”

…I’ll see myself out.
The scene was just so long and there was so much drawn out destruction of so many sets and props, it was fkng awesome!
Idk, I think not showing more of the gore made it more digestible and that is the problem now with war- it’s not in our faces so we can ignore it. We don’t have to visualize because that is real impact- when we see, we believe. They did this so we could keep pushing through the story just like Wade did. I was pissed more characters weren’t outraged or that Dr Ye didn’t tell them WHO exactly was onboard. From what we saw, there were more children on board than adults and That is something none of us should be okay with. Fictional or not.
06:19 We did not "wipe out" the Neaderthals, or at least we have no reason to believe we did. The fact it seems most human beings today have some Neaderthal DNA is evidence to the contrary. On the other hand Europeans did most certainly wipe out the Tasmanians and the Taino among others. Okay I'm nitpicking.
06:55 An interesting idea, but with a lot of problems. For one thing it presumes entire species reach such decisions once and irrevocably, that no two or more species might make a different decision and have it work, that growth and expansion is in fact something which all civilizations will ultimately view as an absolute value (there have even been human civilizations, quite major ones, that did not see life that way at all), that the natural state of all life is paranoia, that all cultures ultimately plan for survival on a cosmic scale (i.e. millions if not billions of years at the least), etc. It makes for a great story--obviously--but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
This video doesn't fully explain dark forest theory or the book-specific details of it because your points are covered by them both. You're absolutely right about us (or anyone) being able to predict the values and actions of countless other civilizations when we don't even know what forms other beings might even take seeing as how we have literally only 1 single point of reference. Any scientist would agree with you that 1 data point is laughable when it comes to making predictions. Without going into a long winded rant (which I'd love to do), it basically comes down to too many factors and variables working against your civilization to be able to afford the risk of doing anything other than both hiding, and shooting first. You could be friendly, your next-door neighbor can be friendly, and you guys might even make a friendship/alliance possible. But will the third civilization or the fourth be as willing? The book had this one great quote wish I could remember it but it's like.. if we have billions of habitable planets (just the ones we think are habitable, could be more) in just our galaxy, it's possible that a million civilizations reach intelligence and could be a possible threat. If you send out a galactic "hello" and only 10% of the civilizations choose to care at all, and only 10% of those care to investigate further, well of the 10,000 that discover you then surely 1 of them will attack just to eliminate potential risk. There are other connected variables on offer for you to consider like the chain of suspicion and a technological explosion all coupled with the sheer vastness of space and the limitations of technology and the speed of light but the theory basically says that 'most' and not all would come to this conclusion. But I definitely agree with your point about humanity's narcissism just making wild assumptions about countless possible forms of life as if we know everything.. all while have zero information to go on. I honestly believe if you dig deeper then you would give the theory a bit more validity, even though it is just a theory, but there I go assuming things after just saying how dumb that is! Anyways, hope you enjoy the story :)
Bestiality has been a thing for a very very long time. More than 99% of species that has ever existed on Earth are now extinct. That goes for Neanderthals, Denisovans and all other archaic hominids.
This scene ruined the series for me. It makes absolutely no sense. They said they didn't want a bloodbath by sending in special forces so they just kill everyone? Also, how did they know that the data drive would not get sliced? How did they know that the data drive would not get crushed or burned in a mountain of burning ship ribbons? Lastly, how did nobody else notice a sliced-apart ship on the Panama Canal in the weeks it must have taken to search through the wreckage?
I won't let my hate for Auggie keep me from enjoying this breakdown.
Thumbnail kid deserves a darwin award
Weapon of mass destruction. My jaw was on the floor when this scene happened.
The answer to the Fermi Paradox is simple, the universe is still young and non of the civilizations out there can reach us. Our own broadcasts are less than 100 light years out and probably degraded into random static. We also might be the first in this galaxy.
Slicing Judgement Day and Will's Goodbye were most memorable scenes but for different reasons... I'm so hyped for more!
Greetings.
When I saw the trailer I thought it was aliens who did this.
Knowing that it was done by humans, much more with the contribution of the protagonists, was horrifying.
I remembered the opening of the film Ghost Ship (2002) when I saw this scene.
That's probably one of the most disturbing and horrifying scene in the history of TV.
I truly wish I could unsee it.
Crazy part is the nano fibers are mentioned in a sentence in the book and that’s it. They turned that one off into an awesome scene
I watched this entire scene with my mouth agape. 😮 I have never seen anything so horrifying. I was completely traumatized by that shit for at least a few hours.
In Larry Niven's "Known Space" series there is a weapon called a "variable sword" which is this nanofiber on a spool inside a handle. The point is a lit dot to give the user a point of reference where the "blade" is so as not to cut your own head off by accident.
Which episode is this?
Loved it
Unexpected and in these times, a brave choice to go with it from Netflix just because it enhanced the storytelling. This series started really well with the china sequence which now infuriates the party over there and they never backed down from that thrilling difficult to watch initial minutes. I haven´t read the novels but I´m going to. I read most of everything else from the author and its awesome work. He really deserves the comparison to Arthur C Clarke for sure. I´m also going to watch the original series, which is complete and has 30 episodes. The Netflix one is mostly a remake or a new addaptation of the novel for western audiences.
Is there a clip of the tencent version anywhere?
Yes. Watch episode 29, if my memory is correct.
The scene was so incredibly over the top and ridicilous that it took away any terror the scene was suppossed to impose. When they try to come up with a way to take out the ship they dismiss missiles because they're to destructive and boarding with special forces because it will be a bloodbath so let's try to tear the ship to ribbons including any people aboard with a product that had never been tested on that scale? Also make sure to bring aboard the inventor of said product so that she could witness the horrific aftermath. Makes perfect sense...
They didn’t use missiles because that would blow the whole thing up whereas they had an idea that the drive would probably be small hence cutting it up with nano fibre which were a few metres apart had more chance of succeeding
Brilliant scene and, as a fan of Warhammer 40k, this reminded me of the mono filament weapons used by the Eldar.
When the going gets tough everyone around me starts falling apart
As an engineer, I was honestly more focused on “how did they anchor all the nano fibers to stay taut while they literally ripped through a variety of hardened materials?”
I can wrap my head around a super-material that can slice through anything, but in order for that to happen they would have to anchor the fibers to the earth with similarly ultra-strong materials, and it appeared to me that there was just dirt and rock on either side. Dirt and rock should give way when the momentum and inertia of such a heavy and fast ship is pushing against so many of them. Think about it for a second….if the fibers didn’t give out and stayed taut when tearing into the ship and slicing it, you’d expect the that extreme kinetic energy to be transferred to the anchors holding the fibers, and then to the dirt and rock surrounding the anchors. Right?
Hmmm... I'll answer you, but I'm not presenting the following as a fact. I'm actually pretty intrigued by the physics here, I'm just putting forward a thought.
Let's say you take a very blunt knife and try to cut a carrot. It's going to be hard and you'll have to do a lot of force, so you'll feel that force back into your arm.
But if you try to cut the same carrot with a very sharp knife, you'll need much less force and you won't feel as much pressure back into your arm.
So, assuming the fibers have pretty much infinite sharpness, the force needed to cut any hardened material is almost zero, so the force being sent back to the pillars is equally small. It's basically just the force of a ship slowing moving forward, and the ground can take it just fine.
Maybe? Like I said... I'm opening a discussion here. I'm not sure at all.
Edit: A example came to mind. If you throw an apple at a katana versus throwing an apple against a baseball bat. The bat is probably gonna recoil a bit. But if the katana cut the apple clean, it may saty still. Right? Maybe? Again, I'm not sure.
Edit2: Now I can't stop thinking about it lol. But the kinetic energy actually WASN'T transfered at all, since the ship continue to move at the exact same speed. I think now I figured it out lol.
Brilliant point of view, hadn't though of it that way. Like, how does the fiber not cut through those tall metal structures it's anchored to? Eh, we're not meant to think it this far, after a certain point it's simply "Poetic license", cinema-wise :D
Normally I’d agree with you, but we’re dealing with earthly physics here. I understand what you’re saying to an extent, for example heat up a knife and drop it on a stick of butter and it will slice through it with zero force. However, we’re not dealing with any additional energy involved such as heating the butter knife. You’ll see in the scene that ship begins to slow down to an extent and also begins to veer off course, not because the wheel is no longer turning and the captain is dead, but because the threads absorbed some of the energy from the ship in the form of its inertia and momentum.
Take the sharpest knife in the world and a stick of butter. Have a friend hold the knife and press that stick of butter against the knife to cut the stick of butter. You will see energy transferred to your friend’s arm that is holding the knife, causing it to move.
So even in the absolute best case scenario, a minuscule fraction of that ships inertia energy is transferred to the pillars, bases or anchors holding the threads, and the natural materials surrounding the anchors would inevitably give enough to at least reduce the “tautness” of the threads/fibers.
The only way I can sensibly wrap my head around the physics is if the nano fibers were also super heated as I describe in the hot knife through butter scenario.
The boat slowed and it’s course altered so that energy had to go somewhere. I love physics.
Technically the tension in the fiber is a function of friction between fiber and steel. The friction can be pretty small given the nature of the material.
@@bleeb1347 Not sure if I agree. The ship continues to move at the same speed. No energy is lost at all. The guy even thinks it didn't work at first, because the ship just continue to move as if nothing happened. It eventually loses speed because the engines go down and it turns because it loses its physical structure. It wouldn't work in real life because the fibers can't really exist, but thought the parameters the show sets, I don't think the pillars matter at all.
The most terrifying sequence ever. About as terrifying as Outbreak Day in The Last of Us ep1 😭😭😭
Just a theory , a film theory
The Santi's are actually far inferior to us but theyre lying about how powerful they are , essentially a bluff or lying, which they claimed is something they dont understand
I’m bipolar on this one, if it’s a bluff makes sense as humanity will waste a lot of resources to their space army that they disregard Earth’s well being and succumb to climate change and starvation by the time they arrive so no fighting is required, but the flaw of this theory is the sophon computers they have and how they are advanced enough to control your senses
Search about the droplet and how it destroyed the entire human space fleet
It’s a truly chilling and fantastic episode,
You mentioned my Alma Mater, Drexel university. Love the video
Ah nice, Small universe
So it chops helicopters and cruise ships, but travels through hallways nicely
I'm not sure what you're saying here. There are elements that would collapse immediately because they're not supported by anything else (like the weight of the layers above them). Once it had cut through enough the bulk of the ship everything would start to come apart.
well yeah. One is just complex objects and the other is supporting infrastructure of an entire multi ton ship. we see it collapse later from the nose onwards once theres nothing
Good morning, Paul ✌🏽Aww gyeah, Happy April! (My birthday month)
You too Toni, have a good one
My favorite part about this scene is we know its human tech. But the folks on the ship might have thought to be punishment coming down from their “ lord”
Thank you Paul.
(Me, looking chilly at the monitor swirling a glass of wine) “this is for what you did to Sam”
Scene wasn't anything other than really cool. Should of shown them kids too LMAO
This idea was mentioned in Larry Niven's novel Ringworld.
Cant wait for The Drop
I had this thought that even just throwing a thimble of nano-fibers onto someone would be their doom. You can't see the fibers, you can't untangle, and even the slightest movement would make then cuts deeper. Being wrapped into a barb-wire sounds like a walk in the park in comparison.
Thanks. This is a good video.
That scene managed to shock me due to its gratuitous cruelty. But it makes perfect sense because it is not supposed to foreshadow what the aliens would do. It is an illustration of what humans do to each other (all a hostile alien civilisation would need to do is leave humankind to its own devices to wipe itself out).
And, as you so nicely alluded to, if someone is very good at maths or physics or whatever else and are creative by nature, they should think before creating something. That’s the real mark of intelligence and character (man, I’m so dumb to talk about ‘character’, that’s so not cool anymore).
as someone who hasn’t watched the show or read the books but is still really interested in the story, why do they make a new weapon, and proceed to test it on human lives
"Horrifying" ? I was in cheers ! The bugs have never been truly defeated !
There's a similar one at the start of the SF horror flick "The Cube", where we hear the tell-talse _schiiinnnggg_ sound of a sharp object, and then a character literally falls into pieces, having been diced into cubes by something akin to the nanofiber mesh we (don't really) see here.
Oh, and Hyperion Cantos also mentions nanofiber tripwires as a particularly gruesome type of area denial weapon.
_And_ the Harlequin's Kiss is a particularly gruesome Eldar weapon in the Warhammer 40K 'verse, where it fires a coil of nanofilament at its target which will then unfold _inside_ of the target, slicing them to bits from the inside out.
That's what happens to the Benchy every time I experiment with my slicer settings (fellow 3d printing enthusiasts will understand)
I finished the book a couple weeks before the series dropped and i think the show did a decent job adapting it. When i read the boat scene i was so excited to see how they would adapt it to film. I have several nitpicks with this series (mostly about the excessive amount of new characters) but this scene was visceral, horrific, & well done.
The books are more about the science as opposed to the characters, this version adds much more character building as being a visual medium TV needs that extra layer to hook people. As many have stated, if you've not read the books, you ain't seen nothing yet! The biggest thing I took away from the scene is the sheer ruthlessness that will be required for humanity to survive, there is no room for mercy or hesitation, survival is everything, just like the aliens state.
Heavy spoiled your point about the horror of the JD scene by drawing from so little of it. Expected you to illustrate how exactly nano fibers did this, BUT NO! Cop out.
I don't think any of them are gonna be pulling themselves together anytime soon.
