THE EXPANSE is the Most Scientifically Accurate TV Show

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 😅😅😊😊😊😊

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.

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...

[@GopherBaroque61]

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.

[@RabenmundK]

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.

[@GoldenPantaloons]

@@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).

[@OgdenM]

Oh and how they talk about how hard it is to get wounds to heal in Zero G in general.

[@Ryujin356]

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.

[@alexanderforbes1452]

They do that at some point in the first season too.

[@cmkessell]

And in the final episode of S3, when Holden and Drummer talk while floating up that elevator shaft.

[@J_Stronsky]

It's a frequent thing throughout the books, and not always because they lose comms, sometimes for privacy sometimes for stealth

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.

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...

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.

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.

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]

@@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.

[@di99utpe]

@@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.

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.

[@Dario1988able]

Exactly. It's moving space around itself, so the Star Trek ships themselves aren't actually moving that fast unless they use impulse speed.

[@suelliott3980]

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 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

[@jakeand9020]

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.

@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.
