The aliens are going to reach Earth before Netflix gives us season 2 And 3

I am most impressed by the fact that Alpha Centauri is in fact the closest solar system to us and it is in fact a 3 star system.

I love how sophon talks like a text to speech AI

Most impressive is that they got Bobak Ferdowsi, also known as the "NASA Mohawk Guy" to be in the show he was the flight director at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) during NASA's Mars Curiosity rover landing

Sophon: " we will teach you how to fear again" Best line in series for me

The Three Body Problem released in 2008. In 2016 researchers discover the planet Proxima Centauri b in the trisolar system’s habitable zone, and in 2017 one technique of “Solar Amplification” was proposed and verified.

Explaining how humanity's progress being very fast was the most imprssive thing to me. Even in this show is self aware of it. In this universe, They have successfully applied nano tech, cryogenics and nuclear propulsion theories in what I would assume is in the span of 1 year.

If Torchwood taught us anything. Remain unnoticed.

The human fruit roll ups cracked me up 😂

Nothing like reading the series. But a very good job done at keeping to the source material. Very rare and worth the time.

It's about time Netflix put something good out.

The books are among the best things I ever read. The series surprised me by not severely disappointing me. I would even recommend the show. But if you haven't, absolutely read the books! ;)

I adore the books and I love this shows version

I LOVED the science and physics in this series! Not to split the atom but to unfold the multidimensions of a single proton (a sophon within the atom) as storage space in which an infinite amount of information can be stored and retrieved. Entanglement! Brilliant!

I liked it better than the last Season of Game of Thrones.

The premis of the Dark Forest hypothesis predates Cixian Liu by decades. The basics of the premise where first developed in the 1960's. Cixian Liu expanded on it and gave it the name it now has, but sci fi authers have been using the concept for decades.

This is a great list. 🎉

What a great time to be a Scifi fan. We have great series and movies available: For Mankind, Invasion, The Foundation, The Expanse, Dune and Dune 2 and now 3 Body Problem. Great. 💞✌😊👍

Fun fact:the TBP book one is published earlier than the dehydration bug been discovered.

It's already been established in Quantum theory that no useful information can be transferred between quantum entangled particles. So Sophons, in theory cannot be used for FTL communication.

I think the Wow! Signal was deemed to be a pulsar rather than aliens. If it's orientation were to "face" us it could emit a sustained burst

This is def one of your most interesting videos!

Also, the NASA Parker Solar Probe will get to 0.064% light speed in 2025 (700,000km/h)-the fastest thing we’ve ever built-so maybe the show’s 0.1% light speed isn’t so much fiction, especially when a lot of resources were being put into making it happen bcs of the alien invasion.

I'm in love with this show

And then they come and their fleet is the size of a pea, accidentaly eaten by a dog

The scene with the ship and when the Sophons arrived was absolutely impressive!! Would it be worth a try with the way of communication they used in the show? I thought that this was very creative.

I'm sure this is nitpicky, but the aspect of the show that I found hardest to accept was the premise that a civilization could even come to be in such a star system. The time scale it takes for planets to orbit their stars, and the time scale it takes for life to evolve from single celled organisms into ones that could develop technology on such a scale, are just too vastly different. Any life, if it could start to form on such a planet, would continuously get wiped out in its most infant stages.

I quite enjoyed this show. However, there were some moments that were so dumb I wasn`t able to suspend my disbelief. Like, how would you align 300 nukes in space so that each one goes directly into a center of solar sail with timing so accurate that each explosion gives exactly the required acceleration to reach the next nuke? I am not a pro mathematician but it feels like exponential complexity so precision required is likely to be on the order of e^(-300) seconds. So even if you get Plank Time precision it can still be not enough to pull it off.

I'm working through the books now. Awesome read and series.

Wiil Downing resembles a younger version of Dr. Wells of The Flash, who developed the ‘Particle Accelator’ which coincidentally *ALSO* mentioned in this Series.

I like this type of shows. Give my curious brain something to look out for some theoretical science.

Am I the only one who likes sophone voice 😂 sounds calm emotionless yet soothing

alien probably will reach the earth before George R. R. Martin finish his Game of throne book :)

The aliens are tardigrades. That’s why they took exception to the “ squashing bugs under your shoe” comment.

7:47 my main dissapointment with the book is that they could have used a weapons grade nuclear salt water rockets and gone to 3% lightspeed with current technology. EDIT: nevermind, the books were written in the early 2000's and the salt water rocket was theorized in the 2010's

love the show can't wait until season 2, not flawless but impressive and breaht taking

Very mind blowing sci-fi

I was skeptical of the stairway project and how I thought we didn’t have materials strong enough to withstand nuclear blasts but then remembered NASA’s recent Parker Solar Probe, which was made from materials with a melting point of up to 4,000 C. Still, nuclear blasts can go up to 100 million degrees Celsius, so maybe the skepticism here is still valid(?).

You Tube *Neil DeGrasse explains 3 body problem.* Without even mentioning the show or book - he answers a lot of misunderstandings in these postings.

What about the two Sophons? The planet sized AI's they zipped up in an extra dimension, placed in a proton, and accelerated to nearly the speed of light and sent them to us...How did they slow them down? Without slowing them down, they just zip right by us... They didn't explain that in the show, is it explained in the books? As far as that goes, what powers them, now that they're here on Earth? They act like they can just magically zip around the planet at the speed of light...

😮 Finding out de santis are themselves tiny little bugs completely killed these alien's scary nature for me 😮‍💨

The show was great and thought provoking. F around and find out vibes lol

Please do Top 10 Video Game Zombie Slayers!!

The "Three Body Problem" as presented is not seen in nature. Existing systems with multiple stars have what are called meta-stable hierarchical systems. That is where orbits become nested pairs of two-body problems. This includes Proxima Centauri. Although never observed, simulations of unstable systems show rather quickly bodies are ejected or nested pairing stabilizes the system.

seeing thousand eyes actor in this show is enough to convince me to watch this lol

When I saw rehydration I understood they were tardigrades. --- Theoretically, computers can simulate chaotic systems accurately, but the practical limitations lie in the precision of initial conditions and the computational power required for long-term predictions. Computers can theoretically solve any coloring problem, but some may require immense computational resources or be impractical due to their complexity.

its a great show because it makes fiction deem possible through theoretical physic hence making it real and not just some lame magic

Trisolarans can make a computer out of a single proton. But is incapable of FTL. 😂

Imagine a weapon with an F shape, in between the horizontal parts of the F is a Nano wire. Imagine the damage that could be caused by that...

The 3 body problem is specific to 3 LARGE mass objects (IE: Three suns). Three objects (2 suns and 1 planet) are NOT part of the Three body problem. Binary systems exist in harmony and are predictable. It's only when you add another star (or more) that things eventually devolve into chaos and are not trackable.

In the books the senti actually find the capsule with wills brain and make him a new body

One of book shown was game theory, I was hoping you mentioned that too

Epic show I hope more seasons hit ASAP.

Too smart for me Whoosh over my head!

I hate the way these streaming services jerk us around . One season then they pull it or delay it into infinity. People are dying out here you know.

Number 1 should be marked spoiler for future seasons.

We can to get 1% light speed using gravity assist to sling shot around the sun and planets. Voyager one is nearly there but it took nearly 50 years. I think it's very doable since Voyager didn't have it's foot on the gas and we have 400 years to get it up to 1% light speed.

just wait till you see the dual vector attack 🙊

I wonder how the sophons don't cause causality violations using FTL communication.

Is Trisolara based on Alpha Centauri?

I thought they were saying “cellphones “ instead of “sophons “. I always had to remind myself what they were talking about

better be “Quantum entanglement” as #2

My verdict is bought the books.

Larry Niven used the stairway concept in Footfall. More crude though and started from the ground. And only to get into orbit. Bellingham WA got nuked. They were not pleased..

You forgot to add Syzygy

Naaaaaah fool me once D & D, fool me once

I can prove it. If we send a radio burst, through a star, aimed at the planet passing behind the star such that the radio burst must pass through the star, you can send a signal to that planet through the magnetosphere.

Why didn’t they (San-ti) just set the visual timer on Wade or Clarence instead of Aug ?

The Dark Forest is a theory put forth by the books the show is based on. So it shouldn't be the number 1 in your list.

For me it's the Sophons....

Just because something "mentions" something in true science doesn't make the science true. For example, The Alpha Centari system is a "restrictive 3 body problem" which means it actually can be calculated and predicted. This is due to one of the stars being much smaller and further away from the others ;)

thanks for the video, i had to destroy some of my neurology to comprehend this

If the San-Ti are incapable of lying, why would they say "You are Bugs"? Food for thought.

The "Dark Forest" conjecture is little different from the conjectured "flying cars" of the 1950s (which led to car designers to put fins on cars), or Jules Verne's airship looking like a boat with helicopter rotors, or Lucian's "True History" of 2,000 years ago, envisioning a battle in space between, guess what, Greek-style armies. People just cannot get past their personal world views. The Dark Forest conjecture assumes that star-faring civilizations must be as territorial and aggressive as humanity in the 21st century. That's just stupid. But the scientific and economic requirements for interstellar travel could not be met by any species wasting its energies on internal warfare. Consider the challenge that the Staircase Project posed; it would have consumed a good fraction of humanity's stock of nuclear weapons, and it still would not have worked, because the nano-fiber cords connecting the sail to the payload would have been severed by the explosion. Nano-technology is indeed wonderful, but even nano-fibers won't hold their structure when vaporized and ionized into plasma. In order to accurate a capsule with a crew of ten people and their life support systems, communications gear, etc to 1% of the speed of light, we would need as much energy as released by a million H-bombs -- every Joule of it harnessed exclusively for propulsion. Then we'd need an equal amount of energy to slow down on reaching our objective. At the very least, putting together such an effort would require a level of social comity long beyond the primitive warfaring mores of humanity. Sorry, there cannot be any Klingons. Ah, but you want to conquer an existing civilization and colonize its planet with enough body mass to be self-sustaining? Then you'll need at least a billion times as much energy. Where do you propose to get that energy? The answer to the Fermi Paradox is simple: interstellar travel requires far more technology and energy than any society based on a planet can muster. And no, Star Trek ain't gonna happen. It's a story, not an analysis. The proof of this depressing conclusion will come from the angry denials that surely will appear, demonstrating a level of emotionalism that precludes any possibility of humanity reaching the level of rationalism required to pull it off.

Hope for not get cancelled 🤞🤞

the 3 Body Problem is about 3 stars where the planet is in unstable orbit.. 2 body problem is when the planet is in orbit with 2 stars

Looking forward to the Dark Forest. The Chinese production, that is.

Hopefully someone can answer this for me (I don't care if it spoils. Maybe I just missed it in the show?) So the brain that was going to be blasted using the Staircase Method to eventually intercept the approaching San Ti...how exactly was that going to work? What was the plan? If it's just a brain and no eyeballs (or maybe the eyeballs are also still connected to the brain), how exactly was the brain going to collect information to I guess send back to Earth so that way Earth knows what it's up against? or were scientists counting on the brain being discovered, somehow the San Te rebuild Will into some weird alien creature but the brain is still "Will" so it is now an Undercover alien amongst the San Te, occasionally reporting back to earth and sending messages using their own tech?

how can the planet be stuck with 3 suns? it must have happened recently or there would be no life on that planet

10.) It's not that the three body problem is impossible or even terribly difficult to solve. It's the fact that there is no simple algorithm to do. Computers have been able to model three body systems for decades now. 7.) While it is possible (at least theoretically), using the sun as a gravitational lens has a lot of issues with it. First, you'd only be able to contact someone that's on a line between you and the sun. Secondly, without knowing how far away they were the lens wouldn't be able to do much as the focal point would likely be too close or too far away.

Rehydrate the masses!

Ah...thats why the "3 body system" bas become "popular"

In the books the snti actually find will brain floating in space and make him a new body

books were great but the timeline was erratic. the tencent version was good but was a bit long and had a lower budget but covers everything in the first book. the netflix version good and is higher buget but too short and misses some main points and science from the book.

I think the San Te Ren/Trisolarans look like Tardigrades and aren’t much bigger.

considering the aliens are the size of bugs i think they should fear Gecko Lizard more than humans or use there sophans to make bugs and ants become intelligent considering there number humans couldn't survive if the bugs start a war by simply eating farm plants for fun

Waiting Season 2

Any one from India can connect the WOW with OMM-OOM-OM-OM for Jaadu?!😅😂 🇮🇳🇮🇳

This show is unreal

It seems like it's a 4 body problem 3 suns and a planet. Does this bother anyone else?

Nano-tech is the scariest sht ever

Hello good afternoon 😮😮😮

Planet namek laughing in corner

PSA folks at Mojo, story is Sci fiction.

atom bombs would only propel a ship if detonated miles behind it not smack in the middle of it

I had a mixed feeling about the books. I liked it. But the farther it takes you across those 4 centuries, it focuses less on characters and more on a space opera. Which I like. But must admit Arthur Clarke was better at it. The Panama Canal scene as one of the most horrifying in the book and was very well done in the series. UPD: Finished watching. Must admit this is the case when TV series are more powerful than the book.

Why did Santi lie to Mark Even because he taught them well 😅

Its not 3 Body Problem. Its 2nd Season Problem

where did they get the radio to communicate w the aliens?
