One thing didnt mention in the show: why they are not worried about nano fiber destroying the hard drive. It is because the fiber is soooooooooo thin, even if the drive is sliced, they will be able to recover it.

Yeah I did think about that and realised it was most likely covered in source material a bit more

[@gosnooky]

Crazy to think the nanofibre wires are only one carbon atom thick, so yeah.

In the book, it's write that is not a problem if the hard drive will be destroyed. It's possible to repair it

[@maxsilva11]

Today's SSDs would probably not be recoverable after being nano-sliced, but drives from when Liu wrote the book would have been more plausible to recover data from.

[@TheAllroth]

That's true if the hard drive is off, but one thing that the book did not comment on is that if the hard dive is running as the discs are cut they will vapourise themselves inside the case. So their best shot was the hard drives being small enough and placed to go between the wires. At least if the hard drive is anything like current day hard drives.

Liam Cunningham was perfect casting for this role. Nails every scene he is in and he and Benedict Wong just work wonderfully together

If I remember correctly the reason why they could send the Sophon to earth so quickly but their fleet will take 400 years is due to the mass of the Sophon is only a proton, it’s possible to accelerate it to almost light speed where as a full fleet can only go up to 1% speed of light.

@@hardensoul7248 no, the dimension stuff is that the proton exists in 10 dimensions, and was unfolded into 2 to etch the computer onto it. Like if you unfolded a cube with 3 dimensions into a sheet of paper, there is now more surface area. But since the proton has 10, it is much, much bigger. That's it. Higher dimensions haven't been involved in any other way as far as we've seen

[@gosnooky]

The sophon expanding to such a large scale is such a hard concept to explain to non-science folks, but the scales can be. If you had a small cube the size of a sugar cube, and you sliced away squares from it at the smallest possible measurable width (the Planck length, which is 1.6 x 10^-35 metres), then attached each slice together into a 2d plane, that grid, if bent into a sphere could envelop the entire observable universe many times over. From a sugar cube. This is the scale at which these higher dimensions are theoretically bound. Insane stuff. This isn't just about what we, as humans don't know - we don't even know what we don't know.

[@jackalope_hunter]

It's called science FICTION for a reason. what you're talking about is totally absurd. it's a fun sci fi story but that's all it is

[@gosnooky]

@@jackalope_hunter Well, you totally missed the point of my comment. I posted it as a thought experiment. Nothing I said could be construed as "absurd", unless you don't believe in math, or the capacity for people to understand the math.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

​@@jackalope_huntermore than three spatial dimensions is a real concept in physics and mathematics. Though almost impossible for us to fully imagine, geometry gives us a tool for visualizing higher-dimensional objects by unfolding them into a lower dimension. For example, a square unfolded into one dimension is a line the length of the square's perimeter. A hollow cube unfolded to two dimensions is a figure with the area of six times the area of one side of the cube. A fourth-dimensional cube, called a tesseract (Marvel didn't invent the name), can be unfolded into a three-dimensional object composed of eight cubes. Going from a higher spatial dimension to a smaller one always takes a much larger space to represent all the parts of the object.

[@damiresq]

would not be the same mass though ? sugar cube same mass as one planet ? or one planet with a mass same as a sugar cube ? That could be the diference between a black hole and a fart :)) anyway, we can conceptualize anything a long as we know nothing :)) I don't like this show btw :))

[@toddkes5890]

I'm getting different numbers than a sugar cube. The radius of the observable universe is ~4.4*10^23 kilometers (or 4.4*10^26 meters) Surface area of a sphere is 4 * pi * r^2 So the surface area would be 243.2777 * 10^52 m^2 Multiplying that by Planck length gives a rough volume of 389 * 10^17 cubic meters. The cube root of that would be a cube ~3400 km on a side. Can you double-check my math to see where I made a mistake?

The people whining about the show are a small minority of book readers. I read the entire trilogy in three days and I love the show

[@AndyBestHP]

Agreed. it's also such a smart decision to centre the boat scene as the big visual set piece before the reveal to the world. It perfectly encapsulates the existential tension in the theme, that point where the exponential growth of tech and discovery flies by us and our lives, and way of life suddenly become terrifyingly fragile, while also keeping it grounded in character choices and consequences. Great stuff.

[@dev.1359]

I really wish they would’ve done more to show the aliens trying to create the sophon. It was sooooo fascinating in the book.

[@Ph.D_of_Lagomorph]

The show dialed up the spectacle aspect (blood bath) of the Panama scene, because of Netflix. But the nanotechnology they used is the one shown in episode 2, which is “30 times thinner than a hair”, and a drive and be repaired because the cut is thin. Wade and Clearance discusses how swat team and bombing is not an option, because it might risk either destroying the drive or mike Evan’s destroying the drive after he finds out there’s an attack. The scene is described as “silent and fast” in the book. But “realistically” it can not be that silent as described in the book when you are cheese grating a ship, since you are also cutting all the loud engines and stuffs on that ship 😂

[@spamfilter32]

Yes, but they cut it from front to back. The engines are in the back of the ship.

[@SachinJames89]

Sophon here are a bit oversimplified than in the books... In the book there is an entire chapter dedicated to it... It very well explained how Trisolarans/SanTi take proton from the 11th dimension and unfold it into a two dimensional plane in 3d space... Unfolded protons are so huge that they can be wrapped around their planet. Once the unfolding process is completed they start etching circuits into the proton and load it with Sophon's AI software... After that they shrink it down back to 11th dimension till it goes back to subatomic particle size, retaining the modifications they made to 2d proton... And then they shoot the two Sophons from Trisolaris 4 lightyears away to Earth with pin point accuracy... Imagine shooting 1cm target from 1000 miles away... The entire thing is insane 🤯🤯!!!

[@thehumus8688]

its aint that insane shooting, The Sophons has AI in there. so its basicly Self Guided Missile Our ICBM which only has limited Calculation abilities, can be launched to any place on earth with max range of 14.000 km and have CEP (circular error probable - margin of error) of 150m for Aliens that at higher civilization than ours, it should be easier

[@pleasegoawaydude]

Oh god yeah and it's such a truly amazingly memorable scene too. I remember feeling like I'd watched a scene from a movie just by reading that chapter.

[@FinGeek4now]

For those curious about what sophons are there is a tenant in physics that all objects occupy multiple physical dimensions, it's just that we cannot see the higher tier dimensions (up to 10 dimensions according to string theory). The Trisolarins unfolded 4 photons from the 4th to 10th dimensions and brought them into having only 3 dimensions which they then used as a "platter" to create what amounts to as four matrioshka brains (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrioshka_brain). Once they where turned on, they were then folded back into their normal 10 dimensions (becoming the size of a photon again) and then each pair was entangled. So, TLDR version is that a sophon is a sentient AI that is built onto a single photon. If you're having issues with wondering how to unfold an object from multiple dimensions, you can see it in action by any video that shows a simple UV texturing of a cube. It takes a 3D cube, unfolds each side into a flat, 2D space and allows an artist to texture it.

[@gosnooky]

"If quantum physics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't truly understood what was said" - Neils Bohr

[@Eric-ez2tk]

it's actually a Proton unfold into 2 dimensions, and they printed a computer circuitry onto it. It then fold back the 11th dimension and sent to earth at full light speed.

[@FinGeek4now]

@@Eric-ez2tk Ah, I thought I was mishearing it. Thanks for the confirmation =) Are you sure they unfolded it into two dimensions? They wouldn't have been able to etch anything onto it as it wouldn't have depth if they did so. That's why I kept thinking it was a photon and not a proton - because they sent it back at light speed, which only a photon can get up to since protons have mass (photons get away with it since they're a quasi-particle in the natural shape of a wave - in our 3D space)

[@Eric-ez2tk]

@@FinGeek4now suppose all matter exist in all dimensions. Unfolding Proton into 2 dimension so they can manipulate it more easily. It's a little far fetched even for the trisolarians, refered as a scifi legend in their own home world. But they had to try, even after realizing there are intelligent beings inside the world of a Proton. Accelerate a Proton to light speed is within their capability since they can accelerate their fleet to 1% of lights speed.

[@FinGeek4now]

@@Eric-ez2tk I could see if they fused the components on each side, that would work, but they specifically mentioned etching which requires depth. The thing about acceleration of a proton to the speed of light is that it's not possible since anything with any mass cannot reach 100% ls. 99.99~%, sure if given enough energy to get that fast, but not 100% since it would make it's mass infinite (hence why I thought they misinterpreted it from being a photon instead since it has 0 mass. 0 * infinite = 0). One other thing I played around with was finding the area's of various spheres, 2D, 3D, 4D and 10D; given that the approximate radius of a proton is 0.88fm, if one was unfolded from 10D space, it would have an area of ~ 96.8 femtometers.. not exactly large enough to wrap around a typical virus (100 nanometers). For comparison: 100 nanometers (virus) = 1,000,000 femtometers.. our proton is 97 femtometers (rounded up). The series is pretty good, but it just doesn't take that final step to cause me to suspend my disbelief tbh - which is why I'll say it's not a great series. I can disregard the math above, since.. sure, okay.. but things like: 1. They have the power to manipulate multiple dimensions, so why not just make a couple of solar engines and combine their suns, then re-order the orbits of their planets to make them stable. This is achievable at around T-1.75 to T-2.0 levels of civilization. 2. If the above is not achievable due to material resources, why not just find another solar system with habitable planets and start terraforming - Given their tech level, rate of technological progress, livespan and the fact that they are extremephobes, they should have been able to do this thousands of years ago. 3. If they didn't want to run into anyone else in the dark forest, why not come to this system and take refuge on Mars or Venus either permanantely or temporarily until they can find a home away from us. This Trisolarin - Earth conflict makes no sense from a cost/benefit analysis or sociological analysis (survival at all costs). Resources? There are more resources in the asteroid belts than there are on Earth without near the amount of "fuss" (physics, politically, economically, militarily) on getting said resources. It would be different if any of those three points were addressed even slightly, but they're not (iirc).

But by the end of the series, I was again on her side about inviting them - no matter the outcome. I would've done the same thing. Her intentions were pure, regardless of what is used to pave those roads to Hell. After several reactions, I became critical of her once again because those reactors were swaying me. But now I'm back on her side. This is such a yttihS world, everywhere... humanity IS INCAPABLE of fixing itself, AND not only is it killing itself, But it's ALSO destroying the whole world. The whole LITERAL world. It's killing the planet, and is unable to fix any of the damage it has caused. The only ones that could possibly help us are a far more advanced intelligent extraterrestrial life - I'm asking for help.

[@user-ov5de7uz1h]

This is why Ye Wenjie lost faith in humanity. She saw it before and it keeps happening again and again.

[@gosnooky]

She lost her faith in humanity having grown up in the Maoist Cultural Revolution. From only that single perspective, it's easy to deduce that humanity is inherently evil and doomed. She did not know about the San-Ti's repeated annihilations being in a chaotic gravitational system.

[@user-ov5de7uz1h]

@@gosnooky yet humans keep destroying each other even in the present time. The trisoloarians were destroyed by their system again and again, yet they keep coming back. The only difference I see is that trisolarians are destroyed not by their choice. But humans are choosing violence every single time. The fact that they’re scared only knowing that we are capable of lying and deception is a 100 times louder than any signal we sent to space.

[@maxsilva11]

A difference from the books regarding the 400 year travel time, which you sound like you'd like to hear: They simplified and said San Ti can travel at 1% lightspeed, so it takes 400 years to cross 4 light years. In the books, they can actually reach a top speed of 10% of lightspeed, but they have to accelerate AND decelerate (think of the burn then flip and reverse burn in Expanse). That acceleration is inherently difficult to do quickly, and is also maybe tempered by the fact that the g forces have to be tolerable for the San Ti on the ships. By contrast, not only are individual protons much easier to accelerate to near lightspeed, but they don't have to worry about g forces. Of course, that leaves an open question about how the sophons decelerate, and how they locomote period, but I guess once you're unfolding the hidden dimensions of fundamental particles, it's basically magic anyway, lol.

Bro, here I am again. The play about the destruction of the Judgment Day ship on the Panama Canal, referred to as the "GUZHENG PLAN" in the original book because the arrangement of nanofibers resembles the Chinese instrument GUZHENG. However, what the play doesn't make clear is that there are numerous plans to deal with this ship, but there's no guarantee that their storage devices won't be destroyed by the people on board before they're seized. This is crucial information concerning the survival of the Earth. After thorough discussion among military officials from various countries, they finally decided to use nanomaterials to disassemble the ship. The nanofibers are sharp enough, and even if the hard disk storage is sliced, the surface remains smooth, and the data can be recovered. Furthermore, the people on board are all members of the Evans organization, a group of individuals who wish for the arrival of extraterrestrials to destroy humanity. There aren't as many children aboard. Also, the reason for choosing this method is because it's silent and inconspicuous, unlike the noisy portrayal in the play. Evans would have time to escape. Wouldn't they also have time to destroy the hard disks?

[@chungwayne1624]

Also, due to the unstable environment of the Three-Body world, their civilization develops relatively slowly but over long periods. The latest civilization achieved exploration of the micro world, enabling them to unfold a microscopic particle into macroscopic dimensions, forming a two-dimensional plane covering an entire planet and endowing it with intelligence. The Sophons can achieve real-time communication through quantum entanglement (although this setup is not scientifically accurate). Thus, before the Three-Body civilization even reaches the solar system, they can monitor anything, access any information on Earth at any time, almost at the speed of light. They can orbit the Earth many times per second. However, in the original work, it wasn't mentioned that the Sophons could manipulate recorded data in our computers, which seems to be an original creation by the series' editors.

Laser swords, nuclear missiles, sending troops, and so on are nothing different from wars on Earth, and there are no reasonable scientific explanations for their weapons. 3body book 2 and 3 illustrate the "real" weapons in such a war that humans would never be able to imagine. I really appreciate Liu's mind-bending ideas, and I hope the sci-fi type would be separated from the cartoon type in movie sorting.

Regarding the nanofibre tech, imagine: - stretched across an interstate - stretched across an airport runway - strung along with the finish line tape of the Boston Marathon, the Tour de France, a high school track meet - deployed at just the right depth to destroy a cargo ship's propulsion but leave the hull intact to steal the goods - etc. etc.

insert "people who know, people who dont know" meme i knew, i read the book 😂😂i remember it was an interesting feeling reading it not sure if i remember correctly, but from the book, they had to slice the ship because even if the hard drive is sliced in half, it would be perfectly sliced and could be put back tgt lol

[@Junispro31]

Btw, to those that may think why doesnt the San Ti Ren just use the Sophon to kill all of us. It can't. The sophon is fundamentally still as fragile and weak as a proton. Its just that because they are able to unfold its higher dimensions it can fit exponentially more stuff into it. Hence the very big computer. However, if it let say unfold itself in a human body, it will instantly implode and cause no damage at all to us because the proton has virtually no mass at all. So the most the sophon can do is affect other particles on a similar scale, like for example microparticles like other protons (light) or electrons, which is why it is capable of spying, affect particle accelerator results and imprint illusions to us. So they will heavily handicap us in the field of Quantum Physics. We can never progress in the fields which would allow us to further understand the mysteries of the universe (which is what they are afraid of).

[@spamfilter32]

The reason they let Augie finish her nanotube technology is because they already knew it was going to be used to destroy the boat, and they were allowing the planet defenders destroy the boat because they weren't protecting it any more, and because they wanted them to get the hard drive.

[@huaninglyu7372]

No. Mostly importantly it can be used for space elevator.

[@spamfilter32]

@huaninglyu7372 yes, that is why they wanted her to stop. The reason they let her continue is because they stopped protecting the worshippers, and that is how the boat was going to be attacked. And they had decided to let that attack happen.

This is the 3rd TV version I've seen of the destruction of Judgement Day. The Tencent version is just as bloody but not as brutal-- there are no kids, and they don't portray anyone as innocent victims. Judgement Day is actually how the all-CGI version begins! It's the opening scene and the story goes much further than either of the live action shows, to the end of the 2nd book.

Good question on why San-Ti can’t travel to Earth sooner. The show doesn't explain as much as the books but to get spacecraft with passengers to travel at the speed of light (or even a decent fraction) is a super difficult engineering feat. Smaller particles like protons/sophons are more viable.

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

02:38 I think Dr. Ye's beliefs are easy enough to understand. All she saw in her entire life up to that point was human beings doing terrible, terrible things to each other and to everything else. The San-Ti to her represented hope, her only source of hope that the world itself might become a better place, that humans might be saved from themselves. I don't agree, but I understand. Especially given her history. 03:41 Spoiler. Yes. 05:55 No. If they just try to seize the ship, the people on board will destroy the drive--which is the only real reason to seize the ship! 06:02 Not "just" another cult. This cult actually IS in contact with a highly advanced civilization. Or, they were. 10:21 I absolutely agree. Don't try to live, but actually do it. Live! 12:17 Yes. We are at war. And war is TERRIBLE and HORRIBLE and DISGUSTING. Some folks have a horrible time handling it. And even the ones who can handle it are paying a price. Don't know if you ever saw "Chernobyl" but this whole segment and storyline reminds me of the young soldier in that series' episode four. Which still haunts me, they way we saw his soul shred. 13:35 No. They have to kill EVERYONE before they realize they're under attack and have a chance to destroy the drive. It has to be total, mysterious, and disorientingly terrifying as well as swift while not destroying the drive. 18:49 My father was a veteran of WWII. He had nightmares almost till the day he died. Yeah. 28:01 Because nothing can move faster than light. Nothing. And something really heavy can be accelerated to even one percent the speed of light requires enormous amounts of energy, on orders of magnitude more than we can produce in total for ten years. And that is for every single ship. A proton, that can be accellerated much much faster, and easier. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction. Very honest and powerful, asking all sorts of interesting questions. There are two important but subtle questions this series quietly posed that are important: 1. If there is another technological civilization only four light years from Earth, that must mean the galaxy is full of such, absolutely full of civilizations. So why didn't the San-Ti ask any of them for help? 2. And for that matter, why didn't the San-Ti go and look for some other world, one that might be right for them? We can do that, in very basic ways. It must be easy for them to know what exoplanets are like. Why go here instead of one of them?

[@Justowner]

In the moment where she told the aliens to come, i do not think she was thinking the aliens were going to save humanity. Given her situation and experiences, I think she wanted the aliens to kill humanity. She basically had a moment where the intrusive thoughts won. And it dooms mankind.

This was a good episode but they could have used tons of other weapons... why this one? Other than plot contrivance? Why destroy the ship? They could have kept it and used it to mess with the aliens (at that point they didn't know he wasn't in contact any longer) and why did they have to kill all those people? While a nice set piece - if you think about it, it makes no sense.

[@myangreen6484]

Because they wanted it to be "off the books" since they're in international waters. And also, it's never mentioned how much access he has to military resources.

I think it does. Who not kill the people, why not get rid of your enemies? It only makes sense. There is just no morality left, cause morality doesnt safe earth. And well they didnt read the script and dont know that they wont safe it anyway.

[@Justowner]

Its wasnt particularly well described in the show, and the decision to go for maximum drama undercuts the whole thing. The nanofibers basically guarantee the destruction of the ship and more crucially, everybody on said ship, faster than anyone can react to said destruction. Thus, any incidental damage to the hard drive is minimal when compared to damage intending to destroy the data. The problem with the scene was Evans being able to figure out what happened and somehow get to the computer room, grab the drive, and make it to the engine room. That shouldnt have happened. They should have showed evens get cut down in his chair still begging the aliens for answers. Because if Evans was fast enough to respond as he did, then he SHOULD have activated whatever method they had to destroy the drive. Instead he ran off to nowhere for maximum drama.

[@toddkes5890]

@@JustownerMaybe for Evans the drive is their equivalent of a holy book, so destruction of it would be 'blasphemy'? If he couldn't protect the drive, then he was unworthy.

[@Justowner]

@@toddkes5890 That would explain the behavior, but it still doesnt really save that it still undercut the point of the attack in the first place.

[@letsgo-id7bk]

They made an AI using a proton which is a small positive part of an atom, they did it because their science is so advance that they’ve already uncovered how to unfold the higher dimensions ( in our science we only have 3 well 4 if you include time) unfolding such using huge amount of energy made the proton so big, and by the time it got so big they manipulated and put circuitry in it so it would have a mind a on its own… they made 4 of it (Sophons), well technically 2 pairs since protons are entangled to each pair on a quantum level which means whatever happens to the other will also happen to its pair. They send it to us so they can spy on us and also because protons with the use of immense energy (just like the trisolarians) are capable of traveling space with speed closer to that of speed of light, that’s why it arrived in our planet way ahead of them… that’s why they can cause the winking of universe, or the countdown or the erroneous science experiments… all because of sophons changing its size and ability for the sake of keeping us from developing fast… cause honestly I think humanity is still a type 1 civilization though we are indeed a fast one… scary.

I love the show, but the cutting the boat thing was kinda stupid. The whole point was that they recover the alien data/computer. It was just by pur luck that the harddrive was not destroyed. A human assult team would be a more efficiant way for sure.

[@zeaxg]

In the books, it was explained that even if the hard drive gets cut, it would still be easy to retrieve the data as the nanofiber cut would be clean. What was important was to not give anyone on the ship enough reaction time to delete the data on the drive. Everything else (including the lives of everyone on the boat) was not important. An assault team is inefficient as they were not familiar with the ships layout.

[@dev.1359]

I love the shock value of the scene in live action but I really wish they didn't skip the planning scene of it in the book. It's thoroughly explained in the book why this is the best plan and why it was the lowest risk way to recover the disk drive. They consulted with a computer scientist who told them that if the drives got sliced, the data would likely be recoverable because the precise razor thin cuts of the nanofibers would make it easy for them to reassemble the drive and recover the data.

Ever been to a concert or movie theater? We're social animals, and sharing the experience with others is part of our nature. A lot of our aesthetics are formed in part by comparing our positive or negative reactions to a particular piece to those of others. If one has experienced a piece on their own as is very common in the streaming age, it's only natural to want to connect or compare it with the experiences of others - both agreement or disagreement with another's reactions can serve to deepen one's own experience w a piece.

So they can move at light speed and think for themselves. They are not the aliens but an AI supercomputer made to surve the aliens. The aliens can only travel at 1% light speed yet the sophons they created can move at light speed.
