One does wonder how they thought atmosphere was going to be kept since centrifugal force and the earths magnetosphere are parts of the equation as needing spin for that to keep any atmosphere on the planet, alongside how they are scrubbing or producing oxygen. I mean moving the orbit into a larger orbit would have been the saner way while developing new ways to get off the planet rather than converting the planet and praying the orbital mechanics got the calculations right when trying to hit a moving target 2500 years away.

The original short story for the Wandering Earth doesn't have some of the plot holes the movie has: 1. The story takes place in an unspecified time in the future, but from the technology it's likely hundreds of years in the future (antimatter bombs, a space fleet, flying cars, heavy element fusion, genetic memories) 2. The sun wasn't just going to turn into a red giant, it was going to spontaneously burn up all it's hydrogen into helium in the span of a few hundred years. This sudden flash would vaporize pretty much everything in the solar system. 3. The original conflict in the story didn't involve Jupiter but I won't spoil that

[@DocWolph]

Alpha Centuari is technically a Trinary system. The two main stars and a third being a captured dwarf on the fringes of the system or a gas giant that actually ignited into a star. Also without much study put into the system it is not clear if there is live there, or even where the "Goldiloks zone" is. Kinda's sucks that we don't actually have eyes on the star system right next door to us. We know more about a a few pixels making up one exoplanet 1BLYs away than a planet in a star system a mere 4.3LYs away.

The stars are far enough apart there is a goldilocks zone around each of them, where it can be messy is that the multiple stars increase the chance of planetary orbits being unstable and planets being ejected from the system.

(4:25) What did Finland do? (8:02) Erm... Not exactly true (mostly). In terms of nuclear weapons. From the start of the 80s the USSR had a larger nuclear arsenal. In terms of conventional troop and equipment numbers, it was the same. (9:55) Mostly indestructible, not entirely so. The Warsaw Pact also outnumbered NATO in (this was Central Europe 1975) Divisions (58 vs 27), Battle Tanks (19,000 vs 6,100), Tactical aircraft (2,460 vs 1,700), The USSR had more missile delivery platforms, and in general the only area that NATO outnumbered the USSR was in transport/support helicopters.

Larry Niven had a better solution to the *Wandering Earth* problem, he came up with using Neptune as a gravity tug to drag the Earth along behind it. A giant ramscoop engine is suspended in the gas giants atmosphere, using the hydrogen as fuel. Neptune is used to nudge Earth out further and further since the issue is the sun is going Nova due to another gas giant being hurled at it from interstellar space, during a war between immortal human children [immortality can only be fixed before puberty, a few humans are allowed to mature to adults to be used as breeders, as the immortals are really just unaging, and can still die, and they tend to take risk]. The novel is _A World Out of Time,_ and follows the "adventures" of a cryogenically frozen man who's revived by a future tolalitarian society, to be used as a ramscoop pilot for a terraforming seeder ship. He returns to Earth three million years later, due to relativity, to discover the planets in the wrong place and society *very different.* Technically it's very Larry Niven. He mostly liked ramscoops and hard science, and even in those sci-fi backgrounds that had FTL, ramscoops were the early interstellar travel.

Walls are part of what is known in the military as "defense in depth." A military base or outpost consists of layers of defenses.

Followed by more layers of security personnel, sensors, checkpoints, and barricneeds. Edit: Building a wall without utilizing ground and air patrols is pointless.

A wall, Like Hesco barriers and Berms, in modern warfare are used to slow an enemies advance and control their movement to an extent.

[@krisgonynor689]

Not a Movie but Larry Niven did a novel where the sun expanded and they had to move the Earth. Of course, you can't actually move an inhabitable planet without destroying the surface or making in uninhabitable. So they build a giant fusion drive in the asteroid belt, moved it out to Uranus, "floated" it in that planet's atmosphere and powered it up. Best thing was it used the atmosphere itself as fuel so no problems with that. They slowly move the gas giant into a new orbit - one that would in a few decades bring it near the Earth. The plan was to pull the Earth out of it's orbit using the gas giants gravity, thus limiting most of the damage to our homeworld as it was relocated to a safer distance from the sun. It was called "A World Out of Time" and could be a awesome movie to make, though probably a little too much science and not much real action for the studios.

Another major problem with Pacific Rim is conventional military weapons are supposedly useless against the monsters and yet the Jagers built to stop them are equipped with conventional military weapons that CAN hurt the monsters... If the Jager's weapons can hurt the monsters, why not simply mount those weapons on conventional tanks, subs and jets which are MUCH easier, faster and cheaper to build, use and maintain and go hunt the monsters with them...Jagers can mount a small number of guns which limits the amount of damage they can do to the monsters while smaller tanks and jets may only be able to mount 1 Jager gun each but you can send dozens of tanks and jets against each monster and from multiple directions vs. 1 Jager facing 1 monster from 1 direction with a few weapons only... Besides, no mater how big it is, a metal fist is NOT going to be able to do more damage than a simple armor piercing round from a modern tank...that tank shell will be traveling several HUNDRED times the speed that a Jager can swing a fist and in weapons, speed is more important than bulk especially since while much lower mass than the fist, the shell concentrates ALL of it's kinetic energy on a very small point significantly increasing the damage potential of the round rather than spreading all it's energy out across a very large surface the way a huge fist does...

A political and economic ideology cannot be defined by its results but by its methods. Your reasoning is a fallacy because any capitalist thinks that capitalism creates massive economic opportunities and any free market that is not thriving is not capitalist. Socialism is the ideology that the means of production distribution and exchanges should be owned by the community and regulated by it. Technically the means of production belonged to the people in the Soviet Union but the political system was so repressive and corrupted that they didn't have any influence on their property.

Pretty sure the train uses perpetual motion to power it, not nuclear energy. The Snowpiercer TV series goes into better detail about the specifics. But the gist is if is the faster the train moves the more power it produces. The slower is goes, the less. If it stops all power production ceases and once the engine turns off that's it, it's gone. If you don't have enough power left in the batteries to move the train then everyone onboard freezes to death.

8:26 Thats because no one has reported on nuke bunker busters. I mean hellew. And on top of that. If i really wanted to get to you hidden in a mountain or under the earth i will get you. One nuke bunker buster and follow it up with an endless train just out of the the blast of the previous until i have you.
