This weapon really isn't more demoralizing than plenty of other weapons in existence, neither to enemy forces or civilian populations. We've just grown extremly sensitive to this kind of sensory input, and also very good at prenting them graphically. Also, the children make it even more emotional. But compared to counless weapons employed in the past, this really doesn't stand out.

"We did so many offscreen" - director in regards to not killing children in the most horrific way imaginable on screen

I will never look at dental floss the same way again.

For anyone wondering WHY they did this it's explained in the books better. They need to retrieve the data core from the server. How do they get it quickly? You can't infiltrate them because you have no spies on the inside, you can't do a normal Navy SEAL style attack because they could destroy the core before you get to it. But the nanofibers are invisible and they PERFECTLY cut objects. So you can cut through the whole ship before anyone understands what is even happening and simple reassemble the data core even if it's cut to pieces. They subtly foreshadowed this with the earlier diamond cutting scene where they perfectly cut a diamond. This was the only way they could quickly get the data core to study Sophon in more detail. Getting rid of the cult was a nice side benefit as they considered them terrorists/traitors.

At that point, the San-Ti only know the Earth’s direction relative to their star system; however, they don’t know how far away we are because they don’t know how long Ye’s first signal had to travel before reaching them… Based on direction alone, there are potentially billions of other planets in the universe where the signal could have come from. Netflix leaves it to the viewers to infer that if Ye sends a direct reply to the San-Ti’s response, it will be very easy for them to pinpoint the Earth’s location based on how much time passes between when they sent their first response and when they receive a direct reply from us.

While reading the book, this scene alone stood out as one that would work really well in a movie, and it did, but with the horrific addition of children. Unless I'm mistaken, there were no kids directly implied being on the ship in the book, so it was a bit of a shock. But I guess the children were included for emotional impact.

Thanks for this video. I'm through episode 6, and it's hard to find anything that discusses a single episode without spoiling the whole thing. I wish these shows were not released a whole season at once, to allow episode breakdowns like you do with other shows.

As you started getting into at the end - there's a huge emphasis on drawing from very real experiments that have been done, but pushing them to the absolute limits of what we think could be possible (because their science is now halted). It's a point made by Wade later ("develop the technology we already have"). There are examples of this throughout the series, but you could probably do a good video on Nuclear Pulse Propulsion and episode 8, if you wanted to. Specifically look at "Project Orion" within nuclear prolusion. It was intended to accelerate towards Alpha Centauri, which is also where the San Ti are from (4 lightyears away in a three body system).

What I like about this episode from Netflix is that they treated Mike Evans as a charismatic cult leader with his followers, and most of them stayed and lived with him on the Judgement Day ship. That is why the nanofiber scene was so impactful. That being said, the show writers failed to make Evans at least try to destroy the data disk because that was the whole point of using the nanofibers.

@ryankwon8785

Ай бұрын

I think Netflix's Mike Evans still believes that the San-Ti have a reason for letting Wade destroy Judgment Day so he kept the disk safe. This works well since the San-Ti literally allowed Wade to access the files despite the warning that it will take millions of years to decrypt. Nevertheless, I think the ETO was handled better in the Netflix show because it shows that they are a morally gray organization that still believe humanity can improve if they coexist with the San-Ti.

@Escape.Velocity

Ай бұрын

I think the creative decision to make Judgement Day less of a military vessel and more of a cult-like commune was excellent. It made the scene more horrific and visceral. My nitpick is seeing Mike Evans communicating with the Trisolarans over an old radio with his voice rather than being with text on a computer. I get why they did it, but scientifically it makes no sense. We couldn’t have phone conversations in real-time with aliens in a ship that is several light years away without having faster-than-light communication, which we have not discovered yet. I get that it’s sci-fi but the whole plot is that human technological progress has been stopped.

Love that you are using Quinn’s channel intro on this video. He almost exclusively uses it on his 3 body problem videos ❤

What this show calls nanofibers is a concept that has existed in sci-fi for decades. Since at least the early 80's. In cyberpunk literature they are referred to as monofilament wires. and in cyberpunk, one of the uses is as a weapon. monofilament garrote's are used to sever peoples heads, and put on the leading edges of swords to make them sharper then the sharpest scalpels. Of course, while these monofilament or nanofibers would be weaponized, and they would make navy's obsolete (string a nanofiber between to submersible 2000 dollar drones and they would easily sink any multi-billion dollar aircraft carrier), but the most significant use of such fibers would be to build space elevators with. Space elevators would revolutionize the space industry and would make moon bases and moon mining possible, as it would completely eliminate the cost of rocket fuel to deliver and retrieve payloads form space.

Also how does the spool cut when in the ship scene the ship is lazily going at a speed that, from my limited understanding on fibers, be slow enough for there not to be enough pressure to force the spool to penetrate (at least, not until the ship moves far enough where the spool generates the required pressure via tugging)? Additionally, it seems to have been going slow enough where a person getting cut would actually be able to notice in time via pain to move out the way.

Totally skipped the breakthrough that they made with the uncuttable poles that they had on each bank. Pretty strong stuff to withstand the same force that was cutting the ship apart.

The Dark Forest theory is very easy to counter, and I think this counter-argument could answer the Fermi paradox. 1. A species sufficiently advanced enough to travel through space are almost certainly aware of the Dark Forest theory and their version of the Fermi paradox. 2. A species that announces their presence must be either peacefully naive or genuinely peaceful, considering the "Dark Forest" risk of exposing themselves. 3. A species that purposefully hides their presence is far more likely to have hostile intentions, or at least hostile tendencies. Even a defensive posture could lead to war. 4. Any two species that meet peacefully will almost certainly over time cultivate a strong friendship and ally to protect each other out of mutual benefit. 5. A hostile species that threatens an alliance of two or more species is putting itself at massive risk and disadvantage, 1v2 or worse. 6. Logically it is in the best interest of every species to quickly announce itself and ally with other species to gain the various strategic advantages offered. 7. Given that life is rare, it is highly unlikely that life would develop independently on two different planets in the same solar system at the same time. 8. Therefore it would be de-facto understood that each intelligent species owns it's solar system, even if it hasn't yet ventured away from it's home planet. 9. Any extraterrestrial presence in another species' solar system would almost certainly be interpreted as a threat to the native species. This would put the visitors in terrible standing with the local native species and with the wider community of species. 10. Logically, the first interstellar venture of any space-faring species would be to their nearest neighbouring star. 11. Therefore, if there is life elsewhere in our galaxy and if they are able to reach us, they are probably waiting for us with peaceful intentions near Promixa Centauri. If they were hostile, they would have invaded us by now.

The biggest problem with the Dark Forest is actually hyper abundance of resources in the universe comparatively to the scale chances for life to occur. It may appear small to non-space dwelling races but as we scale up the Kardishev ladder and discern methodologies for taping into greater forms of energy … There could be hundreds of intelligent races in the galaxy and even in our cluster but we still got 59,722 stars visible from telescope within 100 light years. Thats a lot of future Dyson swarms, lots of mechanized custom worlds and hundreds of millions of years just to tap get through all of that, and thats just in our neighborhood. Through genetic exchanges and intermixing, we could more easily become the combined race of all intelligent races around us, than truly get through all those stars, so actual ware-fare for territory between species would kind of become meaningless

The nanowire scene was done in John Brunner's near Future book Stand On Zanzibar. A military hovercraft is landing and goes through a molecular strand (Brunner's word for it). Most people survive as quadriplegics, one soldier turning his head at that exact moment is decapitated. Just as horrifying a scene.

Loved the Netflix interpretation of the books so far. I really hope we get the complete series. I'm watching the Chinese version of the books on Prime and I really like their interpretation as well.

That was the most horrifying scene I've ever seen. I wish I could unsee it now.

It's semi accurate, because the weight would certainly keep the ship together after such a clean cut, but I'm not sure if it would actually result in the ship being cut, because it would just rapidly cold weld/bond back together due to the cut being soo clean and down to the atomic level, it would be like it was never cut at all. Only things that could immediately fall apart would be affected, which would still be pretty useful though.

There's a similar one at the start of the SF horror flick "The Cube", where we hear the tell-talse _schiiinnnggg_ sound of a sharp object, and then a character literally falls into pieces, having been diced into cubes by something akin to the nanofiber mesh we (don't really) see here. Oh, and Hyperion Cantos also mentions nanofiber tripwires as a particularly gruesome type of area denial weapon. _And_ the Harlequin's Kiss is a particularly gruesome Eldar weapon in the Warhammer 40K 'verse, where it fires a coil of nanofilament at its target which will then unfold _inside_ of the target, slicing them to bits from the inside out.

Ah nice, Small universe

It’s a truly chilling and fantastic episode,

Weapon of mass destruction. My jaw was on the floor when this scene happened.

The fact that they made a malevolent shrine/kitchen is insane 😧

In Larry Niven's "Known Space" series there is a weapon called a "variable sword" which is this nanofiber on a spool inside a handle. The point is a lit dot to give the user a point of reference where the "blade" is so as not to cut your own head off by accident.

Cant wait for The Drop

Could your team please make a video on Apple tvs Constellation show? I could really use an explanation, lol.

That's probably one of the most disturbing and horrifying scene in the history of TV. I truly wish I could unsee it.

Brilliant scene and, as a fan of Warhammer 40k, this reminded me of the mono filament weapons used by the Eldar.

Run there's an invisible slicey thing!

I know I'm fucked up for saying this but I love how they added kids to that scene, pretty sure that wasn't in the books (if so, I forgot probably due to trauma haha). It really added an additional layer of industrial strength OOF to that scene. Also, my good sir you have spoiled me with Theory Time and now I'm expecting it every video. How dare you, sir.

As much as I hate kids being harmed in any way, the scene adds realism. We all know what happens to them and that's enough. You ever watch Jurassic Park and all the sequels and notice that the dinos never eat kids?

Got a feeling that this will get the Netflix treatment.

This idea was mentioned in Larry Niven's novel Ringworld.

I had this thought that even just throwing a thimble of nano-fibers onto someone would be their doom. You can't see the fibers, you can't untangle, and even the slightest movement would make then cuts deeper. Being wrapped into a barb-wire sounds like a walk in the park in comparison.

Reading it was terrifying, too! 😢

This is merely a drop in an ocean of what's coming in future seasons I assure you. You're in for a good time!

Unexpected and in these times, a brave choice to go with it from Netflix just because it enhanced the storytelling. This series started really well with the china sequence which now infuriates the party over there and they never backed down from that thrilling difficult to watch initial minutes. I haven´t read the novels but I´m going to. I read most of everything else from the author and its awesome work. He really deserves the comparison to Arthur C Clarke for sure. I´m also going to watch the original series, which is complete and has 30 episodes. The Netflix one is mostly a remake or a new addaptation of the novel for western audiences.

This scene ruined the series for me. It makes absolutely no sense. They said they didn't want a bloodbath by sending in special forces so they just kill everyone? Also, how did they know that the data drive would not get sliced? How did they know that the data drive would not get crushed or burned in a mountain of burning ship ribbons? Lastly, how did nobody else notice a sliced-apart ship on the Panama Canal in the weeks it must have taken to search through the wreckage?

I did not understand how this approach was any better than a missile strike. They were apparently afraid of hitting the harddrive. So what would prevent the nanofibers of cutting the harddrive in two? Or for it to get utterly crushed and burned by debris? Seemed a bit stupid (but a spectacle, nonetheless).

When the going gets tough everyone around me starts falling apart

In the books, there is not this many people on the ship and the "auggie" character has no idea how many people were killed. There is only one or two people on the deck that they see pass the nanofibers

"Pull yourselves together" ... lmao

So it chops helicopters and cruise ships, but travels through hallways nicely

@RichardStrong86

I'm not sure what you're saying here. There are elements that would collapse immediately because they're not supported by anything else (like the weight of the layers above them). Once it had cut through enough the bulk of the ship everything would start to come apart.

@tenjenk

Ай бұрын

well yeah. One is just complex objects and the other is supporting infrastructure of an entire multi ton ship. we see it collapse later from the nose onwards once theres nothing

Crazy part is the nano fibers are mentioned in a sentence in the book and that’s it. They turned that one off into an awesome scene

When I saw the trailer I thought it was aliens who did this. Knowing that it was done by humans, much more with the contribution of the protagonists, was horrifying.

The answer to the Fermi Paradox is simple, the universe is still young and non of the civilizations out there can reach us. Our own broadcasts are less than 100 light years out and probably degraded into random static. We also might be the first in this galaxy.

7:52 Six minutes before the attack, we're shown details of the zither's construction. The nanofibers appeared to be strung across rollers attached to motor housings connected to electrical services. To me, it seemed that the fibers were set up to move rapidly between the beams like bandsaw blades, thereby sounding like God's fingernails on a chalkboard.

That's what happens to the Benchy every time I experiment with my slicer settings (fellow 3d printing enthusiasts will understand)

I won't let my hate for Auggie keep me from enjoying this breakdown.

The Fermi paradox doesn’t say we have to live in the dark like you said; the dark forest hypothesis says that. 7:50

Just a theory , a film theory The Santi's are actually far inferior to us but theyre lying about how powerful they are , essentially a bluff or lying, which they claimed is something they dont understand

I’m bipolar on this one, if it’s a bluff makes sense as humanity will waste a lot of resources to their space army that they disregard Earth’s well being and succumb to climate change and starvation by the time they arrive so no fighting is required, but the flaw of this theory is the sophon computers they have and how they are advanced enough to control your senses

This scene reminded me of Ghost Ship!! So good

I watched this entire scene with my mouth agape. 😮 I have never seen anything so horrifying. I was completely traumatized by that shit for at least a few hours.

It was the scene from Ghost Ship but x1000. What amazed me so much is that it was such a pivotal plot point. If the aliens stopped 'needing' Mike, then they could've stopped that ship with literally any method and if they did need him, it wouldn't have helped anyway. It was more like they just wanted to show off the fibers as being amazing so they could use them later, and then they stop being amazing very quickly.

@@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control "they could've stopped that ship with literally any method " Not actually "any method". Just 1 method - communication. At this point they don't actually have many methods available on Earth and act mostly through human agents. Plenty of people misunderstand what the San Ti can directly do at this point leading to much confusion and apparent contradictions. Doing by doing vs doing by telling. I thought that was obvious.

@@oerthling I'm just going to assume you didn't watch the show. Mind boggling response.

I finished the book a couple weeks before the series dropped and i think the show did a decent job adapting it. When i read the boat scene i was so excited to see how they would adapt it to film. I have several nitpicks with this series (mostly about the excessive amount of new characters) but this scene was visceral, horrific, & well done.

I remembered the opening of the film Ghost Ship (2002) when I saw this scene.

Reminds me of microwire, from the Ringworld novels by Larry Niven.

To think thing will only get worse and wilder (tear drop) from here. I hope this gets renewed and finishes the trilogy.

🗣whatever it takes!

Idk, I think not showing more of the gore made it more digestible and that is the problem now with war- it’s not in our faces so we can ignore it. We don’t have to visualize because that is real impact- when we see, we believe. They did this so we could keep pushing through the story just like Wade did. I was pissed more characters weren’t outraged or that Dr Ye didn’t tell them WHO exactly was onboard. From what we saw, there were more children on board than adults and That is something none of us should be okay with. Fictional or not.

The books are more about the science as opposed to the characters, this version adds much more character building as being a visual medium TV needs that extra layer to hook people. As many have stated, if you've not read the books, you ain't seen nothing yet! The biggest thing I took away from the scene is the sheer ruthlessness that will be required for humanity to survive, there is no room for mercy or hesitation, survival is everything, just like the aliens state.

I remember the day I read this scene in the book. One of my coworkers came over and asked me "what the hell did you just read?" As soon as I put it down.

Few hours after you recover from that scene, the Santi race unveiled their weapon called sophons. The sophon introduction pales the Panama scene because we are basically powerless against it and has to go around it for solutions knowing that any course of action has unpredictable consequences. Humanity's extinction on the hands of hostile civilization is the worst outcome of any extinction event
