The best scene I remember when someone was dying in no gravity, and she was crying, and the tears did not float away but generated this watery bubble around the eyeballs, that was some effed up scene.
Can we talk about how Kyle met the Actors of the best SciFi-show ever, visited the sets AND met a random adam savage all in ONE episode. That would be enough for a life's worth of experiences for me.
Well, as it turns out, the TinTin books actually took the concept of space travel to a whole new level when the characters in this book went to the Moon the spaceship has two Motors the regular motor and the nuclear motor the regular motor is used for takeoff and Landing which is obvious enough but the nuclear motor is used to actually make artificial gravity by the constant acceleration that makes you feel the same gravity as on Earth but when the nuclear motor got turned off near the end of page 5 of this book everyone in the spaceship started floating around in the ship as you normally would if you were on the International Space Station so that means the TinTin books got this right first I think but I'm not exactly sure because I don't know when the TinTin book: "the adventures of TinTin explorers on the moon" came out if you want to know what page of this book it's explained in go to page 6 😅😅😊😊😊😊
@@becausescienceYou can even start small by having Mr. Savage come on to BS just to explain something he's well-versed in like miniature cinematography, how to get realistic looking explosions and stuff in 1/8th's scale, and what is correct or incorrect about what we see in movies, like the giant explosions of fire coming from things that have no business producing such large flames like a grenade or C4.
@@becausescience A few ideas: 1.) Just like in this episode when you were debunking getting sucked out of a hole on space station- debunking tropes. 2.) Going along with the last idea- Go to the extreme; see what it takes to achieve what pop culture gets wrong. Like what would it take for zombies from the walking dead to become a reality. 3.) A blend of Mythbusters and Because Science? kH and Adam do the abstracts on the marker board and then do live tests/demos. 4.) Do more or less mythbusters+because science, BUT you just ask a simple question and test it while explaining how it would work. Ex. What would happen if I had laser vision? "Well your eyes would melt out of your skull. Here's how it would happen/what it would look like!" Hope this gives some inspiration!
@@kataseiko He has indeed done model work for the show so that's probably why he was on set - he was also in a scene in an earlier season, season 2 I think? He was killed when the protomolecule dissected the ship he was on that was investigating the activity on Venus.
@@HexxuSz The books are always better. But you have to admit Wes Chatham does an amazing job of portraying Amos's struggle to understand why certain actions are good and why others are bad. You can genuinely see the confusion in his eyes sometimes when he says or does something and everybody kind of freaks out over it.
@@kurokaze511 I'm really looking forward for the following seasons, since his character in the books gets more attention end deepness toward the end of the series.
The scene with Dominique and Steven was discussed on another UA-cam channel with a physicist in tow and when that moment was mentioned, at first, the physicist said "that's wrong" but almost immediately after he corrected himself and said "No wait a minute. I'm wrong. That was perfect! That is exactly what would happen!" I've got a lot of respect for a scientist who can admit a mistake.
Thats the fun thing about physics. Until you sit down an do the maths, even a full blown professional physicist might have a wrong hunch about it. (The faster-than-air-car thing on veritasium was a classic example. The physicist was hell bent that it was impossible. But he handn't sat down with the maths.) Cos physics can be pretty counter intuitive sometimes and even a physicists intuition can get it wrong. But the math never lies.
@@R4Y2k Every correct answer established by science is built on a foundation of a thousand wrong answers. "I didn't fail to make a light bulb 2,000 times. I found 2,000 ways it didn't work. I only needed to find the one way in which it does." -Thomas Alva Edison
There was a scene back in Season 1, where James and Naomi were on a Space Walk repairing the breach and to communicate with each other they put their helmets together to communicate. I believe the vibrations, and in essence, sound transferred to the next person so they could hear. That was an amazing scene of scientific realism.
@@Wyatt125 well given the setting is in the near future and in theory scientist could make a helmet allow vibrations to travel and meet the safety requirements. It’s not crazy to assume that’s a near future possibility for that as an for emergency online communication. It’s not like the expanse pulled out a antimatter death ray. Space safe vibrating glass is a real world possibility that we know would work given our current understanding
this happened for real, on a set, of another great sci-fi; The Abyss. If you watch the making of the movie, they mentioned about the actors inside the water discovered they can talk to each other by putting their helmets together.
One of my favorite scenes in this show is during the battle over Ganymede when the martian marines lose their communitcation system and they have to push their helmets together to be able to communitcate with the air in their helmets. As a viewer you take that communication for granted and it really adds to the tension of the scene when they all of a sudden can't talk to each other.
@@cmkessell fun fact: they've screwed themselves a lot in the show by killing/severely injuring characters that never got hurt in that manner in the books and later return in extremely meaningful ways and plot critical roles as themselves.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM The show will make it work. Extremely talented writers actors and crew, and a fantastic base to work with in the form of the novels. Adaptations have to be made, and so far they've done a good job of choosing where to make them
His arc gets even better in season 5. He steals the show with what he goes through in the newest season... Like fuck me. Won't ruin it, but god at the end of his arc I felt so warm inside.
10:10 The ship being supposed to go "upwards" to more easily give people artificial gravity is actually what I always wanted from any other scifi setting ahah
@@Broxyc Ships with rings to provide spin gravity are generally more on the realistic end of propulsion, which is to say that they'll be running something like 0.02g's or more likely far less, in that case if you have 1g spin gravity down, and 0.02g's laterally to the spinring, all that'll do is cause an almost imperceptible slope on the ring.
Even beyond ALL the science it gets right, the sociology of the groups, the reactions, the fear responses among the different groups makes SO much sense! It even gets the Human aspect so believable and realistic that it makes so many moments more powerful because they're realistic and not just an ideal good or ideal bad response.
Yes! How spot on they are with the sociology in the show is extremely underrated, it is just as impressive as their attention to detail in the scientific accuracy. In fact I can't think of many shows that have done just as well in that regard.
@@1014p Much faster than pod racer speeds. They go about as fast as an airplane. A spaceship goes way faster than that. Especially one from the future that has to travel to other planets fast.
@@NaudVanDalen the Y que is a slingshot racer... so while it has a torch engine to do "non racing" navigation and braking when arriving at a destionation.. most surelly Maneo didnt used it to avoid being detected by the fleet of ships he was going to dart by... so most likelly he was going over 50000kmh (14kms) and was "decelerated" in 5 seconds down to 18000kmh.. thats changing your speed in over 30000kmh in 5 seconds.. or 6000kmh per second..1 G equals to change your speed in 36kmh/s so 6000 in 1s equals to arround 170Gs .. thats the minimun G force asuming he was flying at "just" 50000kmh and the ring decelerated him down to the speed limit in the 5 seconds the book says and not instantly
I’m no Star Trek expert, but I always assumed when they come out of Warp, they’re still going the same speed as when they were in it. But being in Warp is actually warping space around the ship, and coming out is just being in regular space.
Yes. There is no acceleration involved. You can imaging it like creating a air bubble inside water which represents space and then moving the water around the bubble and thus no acceleration.
Fair, but when a Galaxy-class starship is doing donuts at impulse speeds, all 1,012 passengers will be painting the insides of all the Jefferies tubes. At least, without the "inertial dampeners."
Don’t think we missed that you loaded this last night long enough for us to get the notifications but then set it to private. That’s how a Supervillian would torture the masses all at once.
My favorite part in the new season was when people on the ships got shot and they were dead but still standing up because their boots were stuck to the floor. Such a little thing but it was accurate and just made the scene look cool as hell!
Yeah they have done that before and its always cool. Although, the martian that the opa were interrogating, when he was shot he fell to his knees. Seemed more like a mistake on the actors side that the director didn't take notice of though.
@@carlosreid51 I mean , the core theme is about the evil of colonialism, and of unrestrained corporatism, with also themes of bigotry (though every faction is very multiracial, so the bigotry exists through different lines) . There are main characters of color, women in important roles, important characters who are gay etc... so it really depends on what you call SJW crap.
I just started watching this video two weeks ago without knowing "the expanse" I stopped the video at 0:56. Now I'm back to watch the rest off the video and telling you that I had a great time watching the expanse. Thank you for making this video
Check out the books in the mean time. The audiobooks are phenomenal. You'll notice some differences but both the book and show are great in their own ways and they both own the media they're presented in.
Yeah, it wasn't what I expected at all. I expected another dark, serious, gloomy, sci-fi series like westworld with a short life span. But instead, I got a consistently brilliant masterpiece of a show with fun and entertaining characters and plots
Same! I've looked at everything I've written over the years and thought, "Okay, but how does it actually work?" and it feels like I've breathed completely new life into my own project.
Totally. The Expanse made me VERY passionate about realistic sci-fi. In my own writing and game modding, I only use realistic science unless there's a thematic or plot reason not to. Like, in Empyrion, 90% of my ship designs have the gravity generator on top of the engines so that "down" is towards the stern.
"Amazon Studios graciously put me on a transport to Toronto." Does this mean Amazon Studios have free access to the void where Kyle lives?... Should we be worried?
I always bang on about how accurate this show is. My favorite subtle part is when Miller pours a drink on Ceres and the Coriolis force twists the flow. If there like an extra long version of this anywhere? I'd love to see more of this ... episode?
Also the scene where they board the roci for the first time escaping from the donnager under fire, so short yet so exhilarating with the conservation of momentum...
I guess you have to be a geek like me to really appreciate the little things they do in The Expanse that are scientifically accurate. There's a moment about 21 minutes into Season 3 Episode 11 (Fallen World) in which the character Tilly is dying. They are in Zero G and she's crying. Her tears don't fall and they don't float away. They cling to her eyes. The detail for someone like me is absolutely remarkable for something so seemingly trivial.
I would love the show way more if they didn't ignore physics more and more when it gets inconvenient. S1 Was excellent, and then it degraded more and more, starting small until all you have are moments like you described. What gets me really angry is, that they just have to follow the books guidance, since they stay true to hard science fiction the whole time.
@@RabenmundK That's a ridiculous take. Everything _except_ minor details that the show got right in S1 is fundamental to the setting, and continued being right throughout the series. More than that; while navigating increasingly alien story elements the later seasons took care to keep grounding it in reality. Hell half the examples of scientific accuracy in this video are from S3+ - frankly I can't think of anything in the later seasons that strained credulity more than, say, the scientific verisimilitude of any modern-day action film (or show).
This video was recommended after the Adam Savage interview, for a second I thought the actors always wear the same things no matter what day or something
I always thought the warp drive moved space and time around the vessel so the relative speed was constant for said vessel. This would mean no red splat on the enterprise. Brilliant video as always btw
Yes, thank you. That is what a warp drive does, it literally "warps space." The ship doesn't move that fast, it shortens the distance from where you are and where you're going. It always irritated me, when, in the new Star Trek movie, Scotty says "it never occurred to me space that was moving." Of course it would have occurred to him, that is literally what warp travel is. Interestingly, that is largely considered the most plausible form of FTL travel in the real world, which, tbh, is why I'm as familiar as I am with it.
@@alexdoan273 Nor does it explain why they always have gravity, but that's all because ToS was so cheaply produced they kind of needed to make excuses, later series kept those in place for continuity. The point about the warp drive, however, is the ship doesn't go from X*the speed of light to barely moving, the ship is just barely moving the whole time, it just bends space-time to move further at that speed.
Dom and Steven are wearing the same outfits as they were in the interview Adam Savage did with them, so clearly they did both of these interviews on the same day.
So I tried to get into the show a couple times in the past but never got past episode 3 or so. Not really sure why. But after watching this I decided to really sit down and watch it for real..... yeah I just binged all the way up to the most recent episode in a couple days. I can't get enough of this show!
Yep, episode 3 or so sounds right. And I know exactly why. Because episode 4 is "CQB" ft. the Donnager & some rocky bois, wherein the show suddenly slams on the accelerator and you realize episodes 1-3 hadn't even left the training area haha Whenever I'm recommending new people to check out The Expanse I say, watch the first FOUR episodes - that's precisely when you'll know. For me, I'd started watching while S1 was still coming out... Took me over a month to get through Eps. 1-3; then I saw CQB and proceeded to binge up through the latest released episode that same night.
The reason why is that season 1 is a "syfy" channel show.. and it's very obvious from the quality that it's made by syfy channel. The first season even though well acted and even though it has a decent story line feels very B tier. Made me almost give up on it, I'm so glad I didn't. Because it's the most brilliant sci fi show out there. It's a shame they ended it when there is still plenty of book material to use.
You have been telling me about The Expanse for years, but it was my friend Tony's damn near televangelist passion for the show that finally got me to watch it. For reals, his wife maintains that he is slowly starting a cult around the show lol
I’ve gotten at least ten or fifteen people to watch it and they’re always hooked. Funny thing is, I started watching it when it was airing weekly on SyFy and just couldn’t get into it after 4 or 5 episodes. Fast forward to a month before season 2 and I decide to give it another try and I was hooked immediately. I think being able to binge the first season really helped. I then read all the books and novellas and now preach the gospel of The Expanse.
That's one thing I always appreciated about the Battletech universe. Dropships were built the same way as they are in The Expanse, they used acceleration and deceleration to create artificial gravity.
The thing that got me totally pumped for the Expanse was when they show the Cant doing a course correction in the very first episode. "Prepare for flip 'n burn" OMG so cool
one of the most impactful things for me was the crying in 0g, the way the tears stay on the eye because of the surface tension. I really really hope they come back in another few years to finish the series, I know the characters age quite a bit in the novels so it can't be done just yet without a lot of money put into aging the characters, but we're getting closer to the point where it will be feasible
Sadly that won't work. :( It takes s long time for a dead body to freeze solid in space. When you die your body will just default to a default position while still quite warm. What you could do is hire someone to fixate your limbs in a position of your choosing and then freeze your carcass before shooting it off into space. I see a potential business opportunity here...
@@psionx1 you are correct. I didn't consider the radiant energy of the sun. At earth distance from the sun (1AU) the energy from the sun is about 1400 W/m². And the normal human have about 2 m² surface area, half of it will be hit by sunlight resulting in 1400 W of energy input. To freeze a body i needs to get to 0 C° (~237 K). That gives a black body radiation of our body to about 500 W. So we gain more energy than we lose. What we must do is to get further from the sun as you say. At Mars distance (1.4 AU) the energy from the sun is about 700 W/m². That's not far away enough. About 2 AU the sun the solar energy and the black body radiation levels out so that the temperature levels or at about 0 C°. You can also dress the corpse in a reflective body suit to reflect most of the sunlight thus lowering the radiant energy absorbed by the body. A good enough reflector suit and you can toss your deceased loved ones in low earth orbit. To look cool in heaven.
This show is pure perfection. Yet I still can't convince my friends to watch it... Fantastic video! It really highlights the detail put into the expanse!
Getting my friends to watch has been hard as well! It seems like a lot of people have a hard time getting through the first 7-8 episodes of the first season. I don't understand why, the first episode had me hooked!
The accuracy of the science is nothing compared to the story, and acting. If you like pirates, Black Sails was about as good, but you have to get through the first season before it hits its stride.
I think my favorite scene probably has to be where Holden climbs to the top of that alien tower after everything is over, and you can see all the structures of that alien civilization that used to be there, it was actually a beautiful scene
The breathtaking moment of that scene was realizing that the reason that planet was practically made of lithium is because it wasn't a planet insomuch as a massive station, surrounded by 13 smaller stations, all covered in galactic dust from not being maintained in close to a billion years lol
One of my favorite scenes in the old star trek show. Captain Kirk being shaken around along with other actors. And then one of the actors does a cartwheel in the background.
Having a masters degree in science, The Expanse was really caught my attention! I've always been a fan of sci fi, but being scientifically accurate really enhanced my enjoyment to the story being told. I really hope books 7-9 eventually get made.
“The Expanse was really caught my attention.” An advanced degree but you fail at basic grammar? Do they not promote proof reading in them fancy schools of higher learning? 😂
I can say, I know a fair amount of established engineers who have failed to master the English language, or at least pretend to outside of a professional environment. @@peterquinn2997
@@shawngurley1957 Even if it was, a master’s level education usually involves quite a bit of proof reading. Inexcusable for an advanced degree holder but I was really just having fun busting chops. Not a big deal.
funny thing is, smart people feel dumb all the time because they're constantly aware of what they don't know. Dumb people feel smart a lot because they just ignore everything that contradicts their own beliefs.
One of my favourite details form the show is how that stealth frigate they went into CQB against didn't just explode from punching all those holes in it with the PDCs. Instead, It floated away since its crew and main systems were shredded and whoever survived got steeped in vacuum by the time the wreckage was found.
I'm positive that artificial gravity in the expanse is mentioned to be around 0.3g in the show, *not* 1g. That aligns with martians and belters having no trouble with the acceleration (except for short high-g maneuvers), particularly when compared to their faring on earth.
In the books it's all over the place depending on what they are doing. They do like to cruise at 0.3G for comfort, but they go all over. Plus martians intentionally train at 1G because they are planning for a war on Earth. I think the highest sustained acceleration in the book was in the neighborhood of 15g for a short duration and 3-5G, can't recall specifically, for several hours during the 5th book when using the Razorback to try to catch up to Naomi tumbling.
Yeah, for the most part, they cruise at .3 g so belters and Martians are comfortable. But the Martian Navy flies at 1g to toughen them up and prepare for a potential invasion of earth
depends really. belter ships indeed cruise at .3g , but in s3 the main reason why the belt launches the behemot before it is combat-ready is because the earth fleet is cruising at .8-1g, and ultimately would beat them to neptune by weeks if the belters didn't launch right away, even tho the earth fleet has to cover almost double the distance.
This was such an awesome episode, from Naomi becoming a nerd to Adam Savage cameos, since he made one in Expanse, to the Amos/Sheamus. Lmfao I love it when my favorites mix.
Thank you so so much for this! Years back thanks to this video you made I started watching "The Expanse". After just minutes ago finishing my first rewatch I've come to the obvious conclusion it's my favorite show of all time. Needless to say it's near and dear to my heart and I'd be remiss if I didn't give credit where credit is due to you for this vid. Thank again good sir. ❤
Oh wow, this is amazing! The Expanse and Kyle go together like fish and water! I can only hope for more of this. All the commenters here, and myself, love to imagine and discuss the science behind shows like the Expanse, and getting to actually visit where the 'magic happens' must have been an awesome opportunity.
Honestly my favorite bit of lore/science in the Expanse is the white juice they pump into themselves to go SUPER fast, it's been a while since I've watched the show but from what I remember it's a cocktail of drugs to keep them awake/thin their blood/reinforce their veins etc so the overwhelming G forces don't just crush them/prevent their blood from pumping. Like dang, that shizz looked naaasty and imagining how it feels is even worse.
Wasn't it also to fill the body cavity between their organs, so everything stayed in place and didn't get all squished into your spine or hips or wherever (depending on the your orientation to the ship's vector)?
we've just finished series 5 of Expanse. it's the best thing on. The space part, the characters and plots and the language/dialect/accent work - all superb. It has a very european feel to m eand I also love the 'colour blind' casting.
maybe in the future the social pressures have ingrained hygiene so deeply into our society, that even the lower classes maintain that standard. Almost all of our society lives a much more hygienic lifestyle than even the high upper class of the 18th century.
@Felix B another thing is filtered air makes it easier to not "taste" bad smells. Like when your eating bad airplane food? That food wasn't bad tasting on the ground it just got dulled. A cabin pressure enviroment in a space station or asteroid might have the same issues. Then again, there are other ways to clean the bacteria and dead skin off your body without needing Exorbitant amounts of water. I.e. On nuclear submarines the water is more plentiful than when compared to old diesel boats but they still use two bursts of shower water. One to get wet and soap up with and the second to wash off the suds and gunk. They can reward crewmembers with a "Hollywood" shower where your allowed to let the water run the whole...glorious... time.
@@dragonsword7370 that is honestly fascinating. Even with today's salt cleaning and water purifying subs still run on low water? That's truly interesting.
@@augurseer Surface ships as well. Fresh water is a luxury at sea; desalination is very energy-intensive. (There are membrane filter systems but they can't produce anything like the quantities needed for hundreds or for aircraft carriers thousands of showers every day.) Toilets use salt water for the same reason.
I started watching the show... well... “Because Science” I love your reviews of the show and explaining everything about the show. “The Expense” should really be great full for all of your praise. Now I cannot want for December 13. I hope they never stop making this show.
That would require them to continue making books. We're on a 1 book per season pace at the moment. I want to say book 9 just released recently. They could do mini series on the novellas though. Plenty of those for world building in the series exist. Not sure the total number but around 4-5 at least.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM book 8 came out in March. The 9th and final book comes out some time next year. 9 seasons will be more than enough, if the show gets there (and I hope it does!)
I've always enjoyed sci-fi but I've always felt like an outsider or casual observer in regards to the genre. That said, I absolutely love "The Expanse." I think it's so enjoyable, because their version of the future seems possible maybe even plausible.
Space itself is one of the characters... yeah the *titular* character - the whole show is named after it. Some of my favourite "Hard Science Fiction" moments were when the Donnager suddenly loses thrust while Naomi and Holden are trying to sprint across the gantry to the Tachi and Holden uses Naomi as "remass" to push himself back towards the gantry so he can anchor himself and reel her in (Space Etiquette 101: when using your crewmate as remass, first attach a tether so you *can* reel them back in afterwards) and the scene when the Roci's in the midst of a fire fight, undertaking violent evasive manouevres, and Amos is trying to cross the room to reattach Prax's oxygen line - and the tool cabinet that Prax failed to properly secure opens up, filling the room with deadly projectiles. Those scenes beat a bit of wobbling about in your seat on the bridge while someone shakes the camera! _THE EXPANSE_ is indeed the most scientifically accurate SF TV show. Im da sheng, kopeng! And the cast and crew are all top notch - writing, linguistics, directing, acting, camera work, set/prop design and all the other minutiae that go into making that show are on point.
When you grow up with certain dangers you develop an attitude towards them that simply isn't accessible to people who are new to those dangers. The Expanse is the only scifi show I've seen where the actors' reactions to the various perils of space made it clear that they understood those dangers and how to deal with them. That really impressed me, because I'm sure the desire for drama would make one want to put the audience in a panic with every situation, but they instead showed characters dealing professionally with dangers that were just part of space living. There were plenty of new situations to panic them; so just having a little hole in the ship or a cracked helmet didn't qualify. I loved that.
I love the part where one of the characters on Ceres pours a drink and has to aim at an odd angle because of the corolis effect from the high spin speed of the asteroid needed to maintain a 0.3g centripetal force.
In fairness to Star Trek, if the enterprise engine is essentially an Alcubierre drive then when at warp speed they aren't moving relative to their local frame of reference, the frame of reference is itself moving, so there is no acceleration/deceleration really to worry about.
@@darius_sanguna Well, there was an episode of Voyager that implied Warp Travel was the main reason for the dampers. But, I'm guessing this was misstated as it somewhat defeats the whole idea of Warp Travel.
I'm impressed with the attention to detail when it comes to gravity. I was going to compare the Expanse's treatment of gravity to its treatment in the Andy Wier novel Artemis (a space station is used to acclimate travelers between Earth and the Moon to their respective gravity). However, another thought came to mind. Earth has a tactical advantage with their ships. A major tactical advantage. They accelerate faster. Since gravity is simulated on interplanetary ship via acceleration, a crew capable of operating in higher gravitational conditions would necessarily accelerate faster. Sure, Martian soldiers may train in simulated Earth gravity, but at the end of the day they live in lower gravitational conditions. It would also take elaborate special training on their part just to do what your standard person from Toledo could do by just walking on a ship. Therefore, Martian crews would be limited in size in order to just keep up with the Earth ships. I imagine drone warfare would be far more viable in this circumstance.
Yeah, the books and show seriously downplay this. Someone fresh from Earth would have super strength compared to a Belter, or even a Martian. Earthers who have lived in space for a while might get weaker, but their bones are still way stronger
There is *one* show that dealt with stopping when going really really fast. Spaceballs. When they 'Spaceball 1' stops going plaid, Dark Helmet doesn't put on his seatbelt, and consequently, is thrown across the bridge. Obviously this isn't a serious example, but it *is* an example.
I started to watch The Expanse a couple of months ago, after the first few episodes I was hooked. After watching your video I think I will have to watch it all over again. I knew it was good and not like other sifi I had watched but didn’t realize why till you explained it. "I am that guy" Amos was one of my favorites.
I love the real-world trips you take for the show. My favourite is still the soundless room. It's awesome to see the applications and maths not in multi-coloured pen mode
To be fair in Star Treks case you aren't speeding up or slowing down, Warp speed creates a bubble that bends time and space around the vessel traveling through warp.

@@becausescienceYou can even start small by having Mr. Savage come on to BS just to explain something he's well-versed in like miniature cinematography, how to get realistic looking explosions and stuff in 1/8th's scale, and what is correct or incorrect about what we see in movies, like the giant explosions of fire coming from things that have no business producing such large flames like a grenade or C4.
Kyle was in Mythbusters: The Search
@@becausescience A few ideas: 1.) Just like in this episode when you were debunking getting sucked out of a hole on space station- debunking tropes. 2.) Going along with the last idea- Go to the extreme; see what it takes to achieve what pop culture gets wrong. Like what would it take for zombies from the walking dead to become a reality. 3.) A blend of Mythbusters and Because Science? kH and Adam do the abstracts on the marker board and then do live tests/demos. 4.) Do more or less mythbusters+because science, BUT you just ask a simple question and test it while explaining how it would work. Ex. What would happen if I had laser vision? "Well your eyes would melt out of your skull. Here's how it would happen/what it would look like!"
Hope this gives some inspiration!
"Hi Kyle."
"Hey Adam."
I'm dying right now.
Somehow, I get the feeling that Veritassium is also around the set. Also brought there by Amazon.
Makes me really wonder - how much does Adam have to do with the show? And I somehow want him to tell me how to make those wall panels for my hallway.
@@kataseiko He has indeed done model work for the show so that's probably why he was on set - he was also in a scene in an earlier season, season 2 I think? He was killed when the protomolecule dissected the ship he was on that was investigating the activity on Venus.
As soon as I have seen the door open.... Adam!
They're friends. 😄
Let's all be honest here, Amos is the best character.
"I am that guy."
Yes, I love his arc.
amos is insanely good in books, show can not quite do justice to it
@@HexxuSz The books are always better. But you have to admit Wes Chatham does an amazing job of portraying Amos's struggle to understand why certain actions are good and why others are bad. You can genuinely see the confusion in his eyes sometimes when he says or does something and everybody kind of freaks out over it.
@@kurokaze511 I'm really looking forward for the following seasons, since his character in the books gets more attention end deepness toward the end of the series.
He is a great character, probably the best.
But I still prefer Alex.
The scene with Dominique and Steven was discussed on another UA-cam channel with a physicist in tow and when that moment was mentioned, at first, the physicist said "that's wrong" but almost immediately after he corrected himself and said "No wait a minute. I'm wrong. That was perfect! That is exactly what would happen!" I've got a lot of respect for a scientist who can admit a mistake.
Do you have a link? That sounds interesting.
Well, admitting their (and others) mistakes kinda is their job, isn't it?^^
Thats the fun thing about physics. Until you sit down an do the maths, even a full blown professional physicist might have a wrong hunch about it. (The faster-than-air-car thing on veritasium was a classic example. The physicist was hell bent that it was impossible. But he handn't sat down with the maths.) Cos physics can be pretty counter intuitive sometimes and even a physicists intuition can get it wrong. But the math never lies.

There was a scene back in Season 1, where James and Naomi were on a Space Walk repairing the breach and to communicate with each other they put their helmets together to communicate. I believe the vibrations, and in essence, sound transferred to the next person so they could hear. That was an amazing scene of scientific realism.
same principal that makes a cup and string "Phone" work and was super cool to see
not real : the helmets are too rigid to vibrate like that
@@Wyatt125 well given the setting is in the near future and in theory scientist could make a helmet allow vibrations to travel and meet the safety requirements. It’s not crazy to assume that’s a near future possibility for that as an for emergency online communication. It’s not like the expanse pulled out a antimatter death ray. Space safe vibrating glass is a real world possibility that we know would work given our current understanding
@@Wyatt125 It's exactly because of the rigidity that sound would easily be transferred...
this happened for real, on a set, of another great sci-fi; The Abyss. If you watch the making of the movie, they mentioned about the actors inside the water discovered they can talk to each other by putting their helmets together.
5:06 " Gravity always matters"
And matter always gravitates 😉

Lol, nice!
Suzy Cyanide gahhhh I hate you XD GG
I feel dumb for not seeing that implied joke
Big Newton moment
That *Sheamus* part killed me 🤣🤣 I really love the actor. He's made for this role
One of my favorite scenes in this show is during the battle over Ganymede when the martian marines lose their communitcation system and they have to push their helmets together to be able to communitcate with the air in their helmets. As a viewer you take that communication for granted and it really adds to the tension of the scene when they all of a sudden can't talk to each other.
They do that at some point in the first season too.
And in the final episode of S3, when Holden and Drummer talk while floating up that elevator shaft.
It's a frequent thing throughout the books, and not always because they lose comms, sometimes for privacy sometimes for stealth
@@cmkessell fun fact: they've screwed themselves a lot in the show by killing/severely injuring characters that never got hurt in that manner in the books and later return in extremely meaningful ways and plot critical roles as themselves.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM The show will make it work. Extremely talented writers actors and crew, and a fantastic base to work with in the form of the novels. Adaptations have to be made, and so far they've done a good job of choosing where to make them

The whole show is really well done. My favorite show.
Yeah Seamus is great!
His arc gets even better in season 5. He steals the show with what he goes through in the newest season... Like fuck me. Won't ruin it, but god at the end of his arc I felt so warm inside.

Im sorry Kyle, but Mel Brooks and Darth Helmet would like a word with you.
"We cant stop! we have to slow down first!"
Dark Helmet, you Shamus, you.
Ha ha. Great scene. Kubrick also did a good depiction in film. But as for sci fi shows... maybe Kyle has a bit of a point.
lol literally what I had in mind
Well, in Kyle's defense, he did say "Show", not "Film".
10:10 The ship being supposed to go "upwards" to more easily give people artificial gravity is actually what I always wanted from any other scifi setting ahah
It’s a really smart way of doing it besides the spinning ring thing that would only work if your speed is constant.
@@Broxyc Ships with rings to provide spin gravity are generally more on the realistic end of propulsion, which is to say that they'll be running something like 0.02g's or more likely far less, in that case if you have 1g spin gravity down, and 0.02g's laterally to the spinring, all that'll do is cause an almost imperceptible slope on the ring.
That's right, we've been all wanting this since 1915 😂
"I did not agree to this and you should probably leave."
This is why I love this channel!
Oh, and the science, of course!
Even beyond ALL the science it gets right, the sociology of the groups, the reactions, the fear responses among the different groups makes SO much sense! It even gets the Human aspect so believable and realistic that it makes so many moments more powerful because they're realistic and not just an ideal good or ideal bad response.
Yes! How spot on they are with the sociology in the show is extremely underrated, it is just as impressive as their attention to detail in the scientific accuracy. In fact I can't think of many shows that have done just as well in that regard.
Honestly I found the dialogue a bit simple and petty at times.
@@bigbengamer That's what happens when the writers get all the science right, but still fall back on the same tropes when it comes to drama

@@1014p Much faster than pod racer speeds. They go about as fast as an airplane. A spaceship goes way faster than that. Especially one from the future that has to travel to other planets fast.

@@NaudVanDalen the Y que is a slingshot racer... so while it has a torch engine to do "non racing" navigation and braking when arriving at a destionation.. most surelly Maneo didnt used it to avoid being detected by the fleet of ships he was going to dart by... so most likelly he was going over 50000kmh (14kms) and was "decelerated" in 5 seconds down to 18000kmh.. thats changing your speed in over 30000kmh in 5 seconds.. or 6000kmh per second..1 G equals to change your speed in 36kmh/s so 6000 in 1s equals to arround 170Gs .. thats the minimun G force asuming he was flying at "just" 50000kmh and the ring decelerated him down to the speed limit in the 5 seconds the book says and not instantly
Yes
I’m no Star Trek expert, but I always assumed when they come out of Warp, they’re still going the same speed as when they were in it. But being in Warp is actually warping space around the ship, and coming out is just being in regular space.
Yes. There is no acceleration involved. You can imaging it like creating a air bubble inside water which represents space and then moving the water around the bubble and thus no acceleration.
Fair, but when a Galaxy-class starship is doing donuts at impulse speeds, all 1,012 passengers will be painting the insides of all the Jefferies tubes. At least, without the "inertial dampeners."

Such a little thing but it was accurate and just made the scene look cool as hell!
Yeah they have done that before and its always cool. Although, the martian that the opa were interrogating, when he was shot he fell to his knees. Seemed more like a mistake on the actors side that the director didn't take notice of though.
@@juliancisneros386 Could it be a spasm of muscles? Or maybe they were under artificial gravity, because at that time they were in pursuit?
Does this series make Star Trek Discovery loom as garbage and is this very worth watching with no to little SJW crap in the show

Check out the books in the mean time. The audiobooks are phenomenal. You'll notice some differences but both the book and show are great in their own ways and they both own the media they're presented in.
Same buddy!

Yeah, it puts all other space based scifi shows to shame and shows what can be done when some smart writers actually take science into consideration.
I did the exact same thing
The Expanse is the best series I have ever watched, hands down. Simply amazing. Need a season 6 asap.

Not gonna lie, The Expanse inspired me to revamp the entire system of my own sci-fi. I’m now fully dedicated to the torch ship gang.
What donyou memanby the system of yoir ow sci fi if I may ask?
Writing, RP, or game dev?
Same! I've looked at everything I've written over the years and thought, "Okay, but how does it actually work?" and it feels like I've breathed completely new life into my own project.
Totally. The Expanse made me VERY passionate about realistic sci-fi. In my own writing and game modding, I only use realistic science unless there's a thematic or plot reason not to. Like, in Empyrion, 90% of my ship designs have the gravity generator on top of the engines so that "down" is towards the stern.
@@leif1075 Um... What did you say?
"Amazon Studios graciously put me on a transport to Toronto."

If there like an extra long version of this anywhere? I'd love to see more of this ... episode?
Also the scene where they board the roci for the first time escaping from the donnager under fire, so short yet so exhilarating with the conservation of momentum...

Ty Franck: "I did not agree to this and you should probably leave."

damn then should I watch it or not?
@@N.R.K.9 for sure watch it!! It is soo good!
Except for Firefly :-)
binge watched in the past 5 days, worth it mate
@Writer B.L. Alley would be awesome if they reference firefly in the Expanse!!!
I guess you have to be a geek like me to really appreciate the little things they do in The Expanse that are scientifically accurate. There's a moment about 21 minutes into Season 3 Episode 11 (Fallen World) in which the character Tilly is dying. They are in Zero G and she's crying. Her tears don't fall and they don't float away. They cling to her eyes. The detail for someone like me is absolutely remarkable for something so seemingly trivial.
I would love the show way more if they didn't ignore physics more and more when it gets inconvenient. S1 Was excellent, and then it degraded more and more, starting small until all you have are moments like you described.
What gets me really angry is, that they just have to follow the books guidance, since they stay true to hard science fiction the whole time.
@@RabenmundK That's a ridiculous take. Everything _except_ minor details that the show got right in S1 is fundamental to the setting, and continued being right throughout the series. More than that; while navigating increasingly alien story elements the later seasons took care to keep grounding it in reality.
Hell half the examples of scientific accuracy in this video are from S3+ - frankly I can't think of anything in the later seasons that strained credulity more than, say, the scientific verisimilitude of any modern-day action film (or show).
Oh and how they talk about how hard it is to get wounds to heal in Zero G in general.
Love how Adam savage just came out of nowhere 😂
Hah yeah. He was filming his own thing on the set. You can see the video where the actors are wearing the same clothing.
time stamp 17:40
This video was recommended after the Adam Savage interview, for a second I thought the actors always wear the same things no matter what day or something
RIGHT!
the best part
I always thought the warp drive moved space and time around the vessel so the relative speed was constant for said vessel. This would mean no red splat on the enterprise. Brilliant video as always btw
Yes, thank you.
That is what a warp drive does, it literally "warps space." The ship doesn't move that fast, it shortens the distance from where you are and where you're going. It always irritated me, when, in the new Star Trek movie, Scotty says "it never occurred to me space that was moving." Of course it would have occurred to him, that is literally what warp travel is.
Interestingly, that is largely considered the most plausible form of FTL travel in the real world, which, tbh, is why I'm as familiar as I am with it.
@@jakeand9020 but they don't always travel using warp drive, it doesn't explain the lack of inertia during their short travels
@@alexdoan273 Nor does it explain why they always have gravity, but that's all because ToS was so cheaply produced they kind of needed to make excuses, later series kept those in place for continuity. The point about the warp drive, however, is the ship doesn't go from X*the speed of light to barely moving, the ship is just barely moving the whole time, it just bends space-time to move further at that speed.
@@alexdoan273 They had inertial dampeners.
Thank you!!! Thats what I've been saying!
17:40 a wild Adam Savage appears.
yeah i thought that face looked familiar!!
I love Adam Savage more and more as the years go on.
@Judge Dredd Mythbusters perhaps?
Dom and Steven are wearing the same outfits as they were in the interview Adam Savage did with them, so clearly they did both of these interviews on the same day.
"... who's that guy?" he says at 88 lulz per hour
So I tried to get into the show a couple times in the past but never got past episode 3 or so. Not really sure why. But after watching this I decided to really sit down and watch it for real..... yeah I just binged all the way up to the most recent episode in a couple days. I can't get enough of this show!
Yep, episode 3 or so sounds right. And I know exactly why. Because episode 4 is "CQB" ft. the Donnager & some rocky bois, wherein the show suddenly slams on the accelerator and you realize episodes 1-3 hadn't even left the training area haha
Whenever I'm recommending new people to check out The Expanse I say, watch the first FOUR episodes - that's precisely when you'll know.
For me, I'd started watching while S1 was still coming out... Took me over a month to get through Eps. 1-3; then I saw CQB and proceeded to binge up through the latest released episode that same night.
To bad it was cancelled before we got the ending
@@GoldenPantaloons episode 4 also gives you the last big cast member. The Rocinante.
The reason why is that season 1 is a "syfy" channel show.. and it's very obvious from the quality that it's made by syfy channel. The first season even though well acted and even though it has a decent story line feels very B tier. Made me almost give up on it, I'm so glad I didn't. Because it's the most brilliant sci fi show out there. It's a shame they ended it when there is still plenty of book material to use.
Best ever scene
" I did not agree to this and you should probably leave"
When I think about SciFi shows that don’t have accurate science I always imagine them saying “I reject your reality and substitute my own.”
So, did you get that quote from the movie "Dungeon Master" or from Adam Savage quoting it every episode intro?
Well I had never heard of that movie until now, and because Adam was in the video I got it from Mythbusters
Isn't that science fantasy then? That's not BAD, but still
"Nice! Dungeonmaster!"
"...no, Mythbusters, what the hell is Dungeonmaster?"
*Slow Clapping*
You have been telling me about The Expanse for years, but it was my friend Tony's damn near televangelist passion for the show that finally got me to watch it. For reals, his wife maintains that he is slowly starting a cult around the show lol
Wouldnt be the first one that did that. Take who founded Scientology for example.
I feel like I am that friend when I talk about I it too
I’ve gotten at least ten or fifteen people to watch it and they’re always hooked. Funny thing is, I started watching it when it was airing weekly on SyFy and just couldn’t get into it after 4 or 5 episodes. Fast forward to a month before season 2 and I decide to give it another try and I was hooked immediately. I think being able to binge the first season really helped. I then read all the books and novellas and now preach the gospel of The Expanse.
Read the books too. They are freaking amazing.
That's one thing I always appreciated about the Battletech universe. Dropships were built the same way as they are in The Expanse, they used acceleration and deceleration to create artificial gravity.

The thing that got me totally pumped for the Expanse was when they show the Cant doing a course correction in the very first episode. "Prepare for flip 'n burn" OMG so cool
It’s the only show where a ship stopping is interesting.
one of the most impactful things for me was the crying in 0g, the way the tears stay on the eye because of the surface tension. I really really hope they come back in another few years to finish the series, I know the characters age quite a bit in the novels so it can't be done just yet without a lot of money put into aging the characters, but we're getting closer to the point where it will be feasible
2:00 if Kyle dies in space, he will do his signature pose so his body will freeze like that to be discovered by confused future space explorers
Sadly that won't work. :(
It takes s long time for a dead body to freeze solid in space. When you die your body will just default to a default position while still quite warm.
What you could do is hire someone to fixate your limbs in a position of your choosing and then freeze your carcass before shooting it off into space.
I see a potential business opportunity here...
@@di99utpe that would work fine in deep space but if your in a solar system a star or a large gas giant could defrost you pretty fast.
@@psionx1 you are correct. I didn't consider the radiant energy of the sun. At earth distance from the sun (1AU) the energy from the sun is about 1400 W/m². And the normal human have about 2 m² surface area, half of it will be hit by sunlight resulting in 1400 W of energy input. To freeze a body i needs to get to 0 C° (~237 K). That gives a black body radiation of our body to about 500 W. So we gain more energy than we lose.
What we must do is to get further from the sun as you say. At Mars distance (1.4 AU) the energy from the sun is about 700 W/m². That's not far away enough. About 2 AU the sun the solar energy and the black body radiation levels out so that the temperature levels or at about 0 C°.
You can also dress the corpse in a reflective body suit to reflect most of the sunlight thus lowering the radiant energy absorbed by the body. A good enough reflector suit and you can toss your deceased loved ones in low earth orbit. To look cool in heaven.
Kyle is having so much fun, he looks like a kid in a huge park

So great to see West Chatham show up! Sheamus is one of the most underrated characters in sci-fi television.
One of my favourite details form the show is how that stealth frigate they went into CQB against didn't just explode from punching all those holes in it with the PDCs. Instead, It floated away since its crew and main systems were shredded and whoever survived got steeped in vacuum by the time the wreckage was found.
I hope Kyle cameos on the show as a character named Seamus
I say we all start a petition to get Kyle on the expanse
This is My introduction to your channel and I have a feeling I’ll be binging the expanse for the first time very soon
"who was that guy?" so... savage
I love that I didn't see this comment until the moment he showed up on the screen
Literally. Take my like please
I'm positive that artificial gravity in the expanse is mentioned to be around 0.3g in the show, *not* 1g. That aligns with martians and belters having no trouble with the acceleration (except for short high-g maneuvers), particularly when compared to their faring on earth.
In the books it's all over the place depending on what they are doing. They do like to cruise at 0.3G for comfort, but they go all over. Plus martians intentionally train at 1G because they are planning for a war on Earth.
I think the highest sustained acceleration in the book was in the neighborhood of 15g for a short duration and 3-5G, can't recall specifically, for several hours during the 5th book when using the Razorback to try to catch up to Naomi tumbling.
Yeah, for the most part, they cruise at .3 g so belters and Martians are comfortable. But the Martian Navy flies at 1g to toughen them up and prepare for a potential invasion of earth
depends really. belter ships indeed cruise at .3g , but in s3 the main reason why the belt launches the behemot before it is combat-ready is because the earth fleet is cruising at .8-1g, and ultimately would beat them to neptune by weeks if the belters didn't launch right away, even tho the earth fleet has to cover almost double the distance.
This was such an awesome episode, from Naomi becoming a nerd to Adam Savage cameos, since he made one in Expanse, to the Amos/Sheamus. Lmfao I love it when my favorites mix.
Thank you so so much for this! Years back thanks to this video you made I started watching "The Expanse". After just minutes ago finishing my first rewatch I've come to the obvious conclusion it's my favorite show of all time. Needless to say it's near and dear to my heart and I'd be remiss if I didn't give credit where credit is due to you for this vid. Thank again good sir. ❤
Oh wow, this is amazing! The Expanse and Kyle go together like fish and water! I can only hope for more of this.
All the commenters here, and myself, love to imagine and discuss the science behind shows like the Expanse, and getting to actually visit where the 'magic happens' must have been an awesome opportunity.
"Maybe...................... I could be on it?"
I endorse this request!
Honestly my favorite bit of lore/science in the Expanse is the white juice they pump into themselves to go SUPER fast, it's been a while since I've watched the show but from what I remember it's a cocktail of drugs to keep them awake/thin their blood/reinforce their veins etc so the overwhelming G forces don't just crush them/prevent their blood from pumping.
Like dang, that shizz looked naaasty and imagining how it feels is even worse.
Wasn't it also to fill the body cavity between their organs, so everything stayed in place and didn't get all squished into your spine or hips or wherever (depending on the your orientation to the ship's vector)?
It's all described in the books.
That's what I vaguely remember yeah... and just imagining how that'd feel, bluurgh!!
And apparently there's good and bad juice and the cheap stuff makes you feel reaaaally bad. Still better than dying though
we've just finished series 5 of Expanse. it's the best thing on. The space part, the characters and plots and the language/dialect/accent work - all superb. It has a very european feel to m eand I also love the 'colour blind' casting.
The most unrealistic part of the show is characters personal grooming, even the belters have excellent hair styles and personal hygiene!
maybe in the future the social pressures have ingrained hygiene so deeply into our society, that even the lower classes maintain that standard. Almost all of our society lives a much more hygienic lifestyle than even the high upper class of the 18th century.
@Felix B another thing is filtered air makes it easier to not "taste" bad smells. Like when your eating bad airplane food? That food wasn't bad tasting on the ground it just got dulled. A cabin pressure enviroment in a space station or asteroid might have the same issues. Then again, there are other ways to clean the bacteria and dead skin off your body without needing Exorbitant amounts of water. I.e. On nuclear submarines the water is more plentiful than when compared to old diesel boats but they still use two bursts of shower water. One to get wet and soap up with and the second to wash off the suds and gunk. They can reward crewmembers with a "Hollywood" shower where your allowed to let the water run the whole...glorious... time.
Honestly, I think hygiene would be MORE important to belters, living aboard spaceships
@@dragonsword7370 that is honestly fascinating. Even with today's salt cleaning and water purifying subs still run on low water? That's truly interesting.
@@augurseer Surface ships as well. Fresh water is a luxury at sea; desalination is very energy-intensive. (There are membrane filter systems but they can't produce anything like the quantities needed for hundreds or for aircraft carriers thousands of showers every day.) Toilets use salt water for the same reason.
I started watching the show... well... “Because Science” I love your reviews of the show and explaining everything about the show. “The Expense” should really be great full for all of your praise.
Now I cannot want for December 13. I hope they never stop making this show.
That would require them to continue making books. We're on a 1 book per season pace at the moment. I want to say book 9 just released recently. They could do mini series on the novellas though. Plenty of those for world building in the series exist. Not sure the total number but around 4-5 at least.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM book 8 came out in March. The 9th and final book comes out some time next year. 9 seasons will be more than enough, if the show gets there (and I hope it does!)
man I cried a bit seeing Naomi and Holden, thank you for starring in this show and bring it to life. it is a very great show, thank you
I've always enjoyed sci-fi but I've always felt like an outsider or casual observer in regards to the genre. That said, I absolutely love "The Expanse." I think it's so enjoyable, because their version of the future seems possible maybe even plausible.
When they are stressing about internal bleeding in zero G .....
That was a good detail.
Ok I'm definitely gonna check this show out now after this episode
The first season can be difficult to get hooked at but it’s totally worth it
Enjoy!
The wink after you say "thrusting the whole time" at 4:00 low key gave me deep feelings.
Space itself is one of the characters... yeah the *titular* character - the whole show is named after it.
Some of my favourite "Hard Science Fiction" moments were when the Donnager suddenly loses thrust while Naomi and Holden are trying to sprint across the gantry to the Tachi and Holden uses Naomi as "remass" to push himself back towards the gantry so he can anchor himself and reel her in (Space Etiquette 101: when using your crewmate as remass, first attach a tether so you *can* reel them back in afterwards) and the scene when the Roci's in the midst of a fire fight, undertaking violent evasive manouevres, and Amos is trying to cross the room to reattach Prax's oxygen line - and the tool cabinet that Prax failed to properly secure opens up, filling the room with deadly projectiles. Those scenes beat a bit of wobbling about in your seat on the bridge while someone shakes the camera!
_THE EXPANSE_ is indeed the most scientifically accurate SF TV show. Im da sheng, kopeng!
And the cast and crew are all top notch - writing, linguistics, directing, acting, camera work, set/prop design and all the other minutiae that go into making that show are on point.
*Wes Chatham ... Amos Burton:* "Murder Cuddles". He is that guy.
Kinda hoped Wes was gonna say, "Hey, did you see the airlock yet? It's right over here."
Agreed, the evil doctor needed to suffer but that would be vengeance and Amos gave him poetic justice.
Its Murder Snuggles :D
@@Malisman77 I have dyslexic hearing. :P
@@donovan3476 Don't approach Amos then :D He might get a bit angry if you misheard his name :D
Dominique's face when Kyle said, "You're a nerd now," was priceless. Welcome to the fold!
Do you Remember the old 1950's "Space rockets" with the decks stacked atop the engines?
Yea, Tintin rocket.
When you grow up with certain dangers you develop an attitude towards them that simply isn't accessible to people who are new to those dangers. The Expanse is the only scifi show I've seen where the actors' reactions to the various perils of space made it clear that they understood those dangers and how to deal with them. That really impressed me, because I'm sure the desire for drama would make one want to put the audience in a panic with every situation, but they instead showed characters dealing professionally with dangers that were just part of space living. There were plenty of new situations to panic them; so just having a little hole in the ship or a cracked helmet didn't qualify. I loved that.
I love the part where one of the characters on Ceres pours a drink and has to aim at an odd angle because of the corolis effect from the high spin speed of the asteroid needed to maintain a 0.3g centripetal force.
This
In fairness to Star Trek, if the enterprise engine is essentially an Alcubierre drive then when at warp speed they aren't moving relative to their local frame of reference, the frame of reference is itself moving, so there is no acceleration/deceleration really to worry about.
yes, they even made that a point in an episode of voyager iirc
Exactly. It's moving space around itself, so the Star Trek ships themselves aren't actually moving that fast unless they use impulse speed.
Then why do they need the Inertial Dampeners ?
@@paulwalsh2344 because even their sub-light propulsion is able to create acc- and deceleration that is measured in km/s²
@@darius_sanguna Well, there was an episode of Voyager that implied Warp Travel was the main reason for the dampers. But, I'm guessing this was misstated as it somewhat defeats the whole idea of Warp Travel.
I'm impressed with the attention to detail when it comes to gravity. I was going to compare the Expanse's treatment of gravity to its treatment in the Andy Wier novel Artemis (a space station is used to acclimate travelers between Earth and the Moon to their respective gravity). However, another thought came to mind. Earth has a tactical advantage with their ships. A major tactical advantage. They accelerate faster. Since gravity is simulated on interplanetary ship via acceleration, a crew capable of operating in higher gravitational conditions would necessarily accelerate faster. Sure, Martian soldiers may train in simulated Earth gravity, but at the end of the day they live in lower gravitational conditions. It would also take elaborate special training on their part just to do what your standard person from Toledo could do by just walking on a ship. Therefore, Martian crews would be limited in size in order to just keep up with the Earth ships. I imagine drone warfare would be far more viable in this circumstance.
You need to be a super nerd.
Yeah, the books and show seriously downplay this. Someone fresh from Earth would have super strength compared to a Belter, or even a Martian. Earthers who have lived in space for a while might get weaker, but their bones are still way stronger
There is *one* show that dealt with stopping when going really really fast. Spaceballs.
When they 'Spaceball 1' stops going plaid, Dark Helmet doesn't put on his seatbelt, and consequently, is thrown across the bridge.
Obviously this isn't a serious example, but it *is* an example.
Kyle gets lowered into Adam Savage’s arms like some cosmic romance novel. 😂
I SHIP IT 😍😂
19:25
@@MatthewWatches Co creator did say that they hired smart ppl
@@MatthewWatches He was on set for his own show, talking with the cast/crew. They just happened to be there at the same time.
HEY BEZOS!! Make this the first show recorded in zero g when you hit orbit
Great idea but emphasis on "when"
I started to watch The Expanse a couple of months ago, after the first few episodes I was hooked. After watching your video I think I will have to watch it all over again. I knew it was good and not like other sifi I had watched but didn’t realize why till you explained it. "I am that guy" Amos was one of my favorites.
21:40 "Amazon didn't pay me" ahhh, I see you're just like every other Amazon employee now lmao
Wes makes me want to hug him lmao he genuinely seemed so sad that Kyle got his name wrong hahaha
Wes is a very good actor
I love the real-world trips you take for the show. My favourite is still the soundless room. It's awesome to see the applications and maths not in multi-coloured pen mode
You know who else got acceleration and deceleration right?
Space Balls...
Which one, Ludicrious or Rediculous speed?
Yes
They've gone to plaid!
To be fair in Star Treks case you aren't speeding up or slowing down, Warp speed creates a bubble that bends time and space around the vessel traveling through warp.
