also, they specified "nervous system". The nervous system is made of thin tendrils, not a mushy mass (google image "human nervous system" to see one after extraction from a cadaver). Also, there are no muscles (because again, they specified nervous system, not muscle system), so it can't move.

The "infrasound" thing really bothers me for several reasons that are purely based on physical implementation. For one, pigeons and elephants can PERCEIVE infrasound, but they don't commonly USE it to communicate in a meaningful way. So playing pigeon noises wouldn't matter because those noises wouldn't be "in infrasound" - the fact we can hear the pigeon noises literally means they AREN'T substantially in an audible range outside our own hearing. Further, the SPEAKERS playing the sounds are probably not tuned to such a range because almost no speakers ever made would be in a range *people can't hear* - they're speakers, the *point is to hear them*. Now, headphones commonly do include pretty wide ranges beyond what's "commonly" distinct and audible, notably a lot of "bass heavy" headphones will go down to 5Hz, but the purpose of that is the vibration it creates, which we can FEEL. The speakers shown in the show are isolated in a way that eliminates that reverberation - meaning even IF there's a meaningful amount of sub-20Hz frequency in the recording (there isn't), it's dying in the air and not in any way being actually transferred to the alien object. They brought up whales - whales can use extremely low (not infrasound, still) frequencies to communicate because they're in saltwater, a phenomenal carrier of "waveform" energy like sound, color (whole different rant about how colors die in water, fascinating though), electricity, etc. But stuff like that dies in clear dry air quickly. So playing these sounds on normal speakers in the regular clear air means that all the frequencies he's trying to use are dying about an inch from the speakers. The sounds are literally NOT REACHING THE ARTEFACT, they legitimately can't be, by the nature of how sound and physics works. The other half that's nonsense is the idea that a symphony can be "dropped to 1Hz" and "turned into infrasound" - notes are literally, not metaphorically, I mean literally determined by their Hz. For example, let's say Beethoven's Fifth starts with the notes "G-G-G-F" - the lowest frequency those can literally possibly be are "24.5Hz-24.5Hz-24.5Hz-21.83Hz" and if you played it any lower, it would be literally different notes and therefore it would NOT be Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 anymore. It would possibly not even be recognizable by aliens as TRYING to be that song. And, you'll notice, the four most distinct notes to possibly ever open a song, which anyone anywhere would recognize, can at their LOWEST only be played ABOVE 20Hz. So... NOT infrasound. Technically, every note on an octave is half the frequency of the equivalent note one octave up. So like, 24.5Hz is G0 and G1 would be 49Hz, G2 would be 98Hz, etc. So, by the logic, you *could* drop further octaves to something below 0, say maybe -4. In which case, G(negative four) would be 1.53125Hz - so saying "drop it to 1Hertz" would still be literal nonsense but would be an acceptable instruction to someone who knew what he actually meant by it. HOWEVER... To try to play MUSIC at that level would be impossible without playing it so slowly as to make it not music anymore - it would basically sound like playing four kick drums in a row, just four thumps and the fourth would not even sound lower like it's supposed to. The difference between playing "Beethoven's Fifth" and playing just literally random notes would be, like, nothing. The only possible throughline for that would be if we had played those exact notes at that exact frequency into space *in the first place*... and in THAT situation it would have been silly and pointless to play literally any other rendition at first. Even setting aside the pigeon noises thing, if we played Beethoven's Fifth the normal way, there's no reason to think that playing it any other way would get a response motivated by "familiarity". If they initially had played it "in infrasound" or whatever, there would be no reason to start playing it *normally* and then "drop it down to 1Hz" - they'd have just played the literal exact same audio file they broadcast initially. Because again, why would the aliens "RECOGNIZE" different audio? You play the audio they would recognize, not NEW audio, not different pitches, not birds and elephants. And no one would hear or feel it happen either way because the speakers can't play sounds that low and/or they're isolated in the air instead of sitting on the ground like a SUBWOOFER NEEDS TO. It's just such a complete, across-the-board misunderstanding of both advanced and basic physical and conceptual tenets of sound and human technology. Every aspect and combination of those words, all incorrect, all at once. It's literally ALL wrong and it's crazy that the writers on a *science fiction show* all just went with it, like they assumed that either the audience of a sci-fi show wouldn't care about the science - OR - the audience of a sci-fi show wouldn't know even the most basic amount about *an extremely common hobby* like, I dunno, let's say *music and audio quality*. Anyone who's ever mixed a song or a video would hear that scene and just want to vomit eeeeeverywhere. So basically Jay is a hero for sitting through that and then continuing.

Wow, this was really informative. The first part about pigeons was really intuitive and I immediately thought "I can hear pigeons normally." I'm not a musician, or an audiophile, so the rest was new to me. But then again, the second part is really intuitive. If the original broadcast was normal, then either they wouldn't recognize the an altered version of it (because they heard the original version and would recognize that), or would somehow hear the original version in an altered context already (because they magically just interpret regular music as some infrasound nonsense). So, really, the writers failed in unimaginable ways. No matter which way you interpret their meaning, they are wrong. That's a really low bar to hit: being wrong in every possible scenario. It's actually kinda impressive.

@@100Jim Saying that it would be less entertaining if the show portrayed "boring" people is a matter of opinion.

The problem is that it's much harder to write great realistic characters, than it is to write cheap characters, who can freely break any set of rules for the sake of entertainment. I wouldn't even have a problem with this, if the show went balls to the walls with the "cheap entertainment". I only have a problem with it when shows like these try to ride the middle. I mean why try to feed us "believable" science, when you're clearly throwing that science out of the window for the sake of enterainment right after? It's the worst of both worlds.

34:32 so they can see individual trees from four light years away but not a large moon in low orbit?

The problem with a lot of sci-fi writing details is that the writers seem to assume that if they don't understand a particular element of physics, that automatically means that nobody in the audience will understand it either, so they can just make up whatever they want.

Just pointing this out, but they find crystallized oxygen on a planet with an atmospheric temperature of -5 degrees Celsius. If oxygen froze at that temperature, then most of the world wouldn't be able to breathe during the winter. It is something so basic that they still messed up.

the binary value of 255 255 255 is 11111111 11111111 11111111. i don’t know how this fella saw a string of 24 ones and thought “that’s 255 three times, the RGB value for white !!”. that’s not only extremely creative but also a priceless demonstration of mental parkour. edit: fuck you already said this 💀😭

It's worth mentioning RGB is based on how the human eye perceives light. That's the whole reason it's based on the colors red, green, and blue in the first place. There's absolutely no reason aliens would use any sort of similar scale.

The actual story falls to pieces under the slightest touch of logical scrutiny. Alien is a _guilty pleasure_ that's shared by so many people that it's become commonly accepted as "good". Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it too, but its flaws are too grave and too numerous for it to be the masterpiece it's so widely regarded as.

There is only one thing the show does right, but it's almost definitely by accident. The aliens' motives and other behavior don't make a lick of sense, but their method of initially communicating with humans is kind of brilliant. Using a signal we sent out (the 5th) as a base ensures that they are speaking a language we understand. In order to give us their own message, they embed it in our signal as a difference between the original and their signal. It's not a bad idea at all.
