The San-Ti Explain how they Stop Science on Earth | 3 Body Problem | Netflix
The San-Ti explain their centuries-long plan of stopping scientific progression on earth to Jin Cheng (Jess Hong) and Thomas Wade (Liam Cunningham). While the scientific break down may seem a little complex, the San-Ti's message is crystal clear: they will not be stopped. Maybe I should’ve paid more attention in science class. Or not because I'd be a San-Ti target? Either way, watch 3 Body Problem, only on Netflix!

Across continents and decades, five brilliant friends make earth-shattering discoveries as the laws of science unravel and an existential threat emerges.
All of this could have been avoided if Mike Evans didn't read Little Red Ridding Hood.
Or if Ye Wengie didn't get screwed over in life a bunch.
No. Santi has decided to take the earth when they received the message from Ye wenjie

For the love of God, Netflix. Please don't cancel this show. We need The Dark Forest.
The original books are out for a long time, so what does Netflix figure in the not so grand scheme of things?
@@Kumurajiva The existence of the books doesn't mean the series can't be cancelled. Any number of things can cause a show to have its plug pulled. Happens all the time; politics behind the scenes, union strikes, waning interest, a scandal, budget issues, etc.. I'm not saying any of these things will happen, but the fact that the books are complete holds no bearing on the continuation of the show.
People need to watch it so netflix would be enticed to renew so please promote the show. It's all about profitability
no we don't. These books are dogshit
S02 confirmed can't cancel the guys who made GOT. Your company would never recover.
One of the most disturbing scenes of the book got omitted. There were various failed attempts at unfolding a photon, one of which revealed a universe of sentient life within the folded dimensions, and they effectively ended a universe doing this

Can you tell me in which book at which page it was? Want to read it again
Nah not exactly, the book says that there ‘COULD HAVE’ been life within that atom existing on another plane, and the trisolarans use it as propaganda to tell their populace not to feel bad for the destruction of earth because civilizations get destroyed all the time
Somehow the “Our catastrophies aren’t really catastrophies, we’ve never had to start over” line is the most terrifying one of all to me. More of this cosmic horror, existential dread feel please!
You haven't seen anything yet.
@@eternal_napalm6442 Oh I’ve read the books, I know what’s up 😉
I’m a bit sceptical about the belief that we don’t have catastrophes in the past. Many people believe that there were megalithic civilisations but they were completely wiped out before the Young Dryas era twelve thousand years ago. They left behind nothing except huge stones, like Stonehenge in England, Pyramid in Giza, etc. We still cannot explain how those large granite stones were perfectly cut and transported and stacked together. And there are proofs of large catastrophic events happened in the Young Dryas era that has led to massive sea level rises and the complete desertification of Sahara. We may find more proofs under the ocean or in the Sahara Desert some day.
although, do we know for sure? asteroids could have destroyed prior civilizations. A flood? Atlantis, etc
@@dennisd9875 Individual civilizations? Maybe. The Spanish Inquisition caused the end of the Aztecs. The difference is that every Chaotic Era is an apocalyptic event wiping out all of the San Ti, meaning that the equivalent for us would be a single event that wiped out all of humanity and set us back one step of the evolutionary chain. We’ve had massive catastrophies, the Black Plague being the most recent one, wiping out 50% of Europe’s population. However, that’s still just one continent. A catastrophe like what the San Ti would endure during a Chaotic Era, wiping out all of humanity (or whatever subset of the Homo species we would’ve been)…no, it’s never been scientifically proven that we have been through that.
Sir Davos survived the long night to see another one
😂😂😂ha ha hahaha nice call back brother.
But Sam Tarly....
And he though that night was dark and full of terror, he didnt know what lurks in the dark forest...
The universe is dark and full of terrors.
the whole idea that they don't understand information hiding as a concept makes very little sense when you realize that the very first response received by Ye was "a pacificist" on his world who said don't contact this world again or we will invade. the implication being, he was going to HIDE the fact that he received a response from the rest of his telepathic buddies.
Forget Independence Day, an alien civilization depriving us of the ability to do science is the most terrifying thing there can be.
I enjoy Independence Day for what it was but it was very conventional alien invasion story that Hollywood is used to. This one... this is something most people have never even dreamt of.
that's why this book series earned so many awards
There are those among us that want to destroy science and prevent our advancement. We don't need aliens... just look around and listen to what the radical extremist among us are saying.
许多科幻作家有一两个点子就可以写一部小说了，而刘慈欣在这三部小说中毫不吝啬的给你奉百倍的头脑风暴，我第一次读小说时大为震撼。
i think of it as impossible to do such a thing. If the alien civilization is so smart they wouldnt need to travel 1% of lightspeed over 400 years to reach us. With this kind of technology to turn a proton into a supercomputer they would also have the ability to fold space or even travel through wormholes I suppose. This alien race if its an alien race, is extremely smart and know its technology.
'In place of truth, we give you miracles. We wrap your world in illusions; we make you see what we want you to see'. I got chills, tbest scene of the entire series. Please don't cancel this, Netflix!

@@sadsa-mi5lh Yea I've seen a couple of Quinn videos! He amazing!
This isn't quite 'cosmic horror'.
FYI if you want to find similar media (books, tv, and movies), this is more cosmic existentialism than cosmic horror. The movie "Interstellar" fits in that category but is a bit more optimistic.
If our planet was dying we would want to do the same. That’s very in line with human nature.

This scene blew me away. First the damn nanowire ship scene that immediately made me think of the opening for ‘ghost ship’ and I was like…wow Netflix you really just did that. Then this scene. Episode 5 was an absolutely incredible ride.
This scene still makes my skin crawl , so well done.
Best episode of sci-fi ever, perhaps.
The nanowires, amirite? Watching that, "Holy shit, like near invisible scythes!"
@@eternal_napalm6442you’ve never watched the Expanse if you think that was the best episode in sci-fi
I am so happy they showed it in all its morbid glory and didn't try to downplay it at all.
The crew of this show have done an incredible job visualizing the heady concepts in the books. Please, please, please renew this show.
ya there are million different artistic renderings of ways any of this could have looked and they managed to do a pretty good job of making it actually kind of simple - it's a computer that can cause mass hallucinations and communicate instantaneously across at least 4.1 lightyears of space. How do you even visualize what that is suppsoed to look like? What is a computer printed on a proton even supposed to look like? How do we even get down that small and construct anything out of anything when we are already as small as one of the smallest units in physics already. How are there molecules and elements down here that make up a computer - idk xD its so wild it brings me so many questions.
I was speechless after this episode, this is what we call epic!!
Which episode is this?
@@MihirPoojari Episode 5
You should definitely read the book. This scene is way explained in more details and it is terrifying.
@@ThiagoSilveira1 It's still sci-fantasy, not scientific. Quantum entanglement renders on truly randomness, which is equivalent to Vernam Cipher or Shannon's Perfect Secrecy. That is to say, the information channel delivers ZERO information in Vernam Cipher. In other words, quantum entanglement cannot be used to transfer any information.
@@Akira_Nakamoto like Santi said," for u it is impossible but for us it is possible".
I love how the fight between humanity and aliens is a kind of realistic back and fourth game, there is no "grand evil plan" most actions are reactionary and both sides are clearly scared.
Humans started it first. Aliens needed to fight back to survive.
Idk about “are”. Maybe they were clearly scared way before but at the time this took place they seemed confident in their technology and success. They were even calling humans names lol
I was so blown away by the quality of this show. Huge fan of the books, thought they were unadaptable, but here we are ADVANCING!!!
The creation of the Sophon was the most mind-blowing part of the first book for me. It looks awesome on screen but I wish they didn't rush it.
It was a great way to introduce the 10 dimensions and the Chain of Suspicion, too.
the destruction of a whole universe of beings was highly disturbing and foreshadows later things that happen to our universe in the third book too, but seems omitted - one of the most 'cosmic horror' parts of it.
That was scene that had me hooked, I was absolutely mind blown I had to pause the audiobook to rewind the explanation of how they unfolded the higher dimensions, the show should’ve had the scenes of the initial failures of the sophon building where the proton becomes a bunch of string that falls all over the planet, or the bit where they discuss how there could’ve been a whole civilization existing within the proton that they just destroyed
that's the thing with sci fi for the masses. most people will go to sleep if you start going too much into the science. imagine if the producers spent ten minutes explaining how a light saber or the enterprise transporter beam works. unfolding the 10 dimensions? i can't even fold my washed linen.
I guess they had to rush it. because this already cost them the highest ever for a Netflix series. If it was Apple, HBO or amazon it would have been better since they have the money to do huge projects.
The San-Ti here gives off such malevolent and eerie vibes, hats off!
If you read the 3rd book in the series, you will appreciate how sick and twisted she really is.
Season 3 is apocalyptic.
@@chidieberendukwu No , If We are the advanced one ,We will do same to the weaker one as San-Ti do to us ,Then the weaker civilization will say:that the fuck earth civilization never has basic moral or sympathy at all
@@chidieberendukwu I believe the Trisolarans are not worse than Earthlings. When Europeans came to the Americas, the Native Americans were massacred by the Europeans when they encountered Europeans who had more advanced science than them. The Trisolarans do not harbor hatred towards Earthlings; they, like the Europeans arriving in the Americas, simply need to survive

Their world was all about survival of the fittest AND YET they still evolved intelligence and technology on a world where a simple "survive extreme heat/cold/natural catastrophe etc., so become maybe a simple organism" would suffice. It shows how insignificant we can be because in the end, we aren't that special or as special as we thought. Just another branch of life existing through the universe, still in walking in its narcissistic and ego-centered infant stages.
@@keithfilibeck2390 Among stellar beings, who do you have humans to compare to?
In addition to the entire scene that's just too good, can we talk about the San-Ti actress acting! It's not that's easy to remain so mechanical and monotonous while acting, but she's perfect, she carries the entire scene!
The “our catastrophes aren’t catastrophe’s” just goes to show that we are very lucky to even exist
we don't know yet. Our existence is like a blink in the earth's history.

Isn't that the nature of things, that there's always a bigger fish in the pond? I once read a story, sadly I forgot the title and author. In it, an alien species arrives at earth, asking for help in their war with another alien species. Earth becomes a simple war colony over time. If I remember correctly they even switch sides some day and ally with the other alien species. The war goes on and on and on, and in the end, earth gets completely destroyed while the war still goes on in countless other galaxies and on countless other planets. This series reminds me of that story in a way. Humanity thinks we are the shit, but we are just collateral to forces we can't even fathom.

And im also glad they kind of included some concepts of the 2nd and third book as a setup of whats to come.
Some of my favorite books. Dark Forest especially is a masterpiece. I do like the changes the Netflix series made, though.
Agreed. I have no idea how the next 2 books will be adapted?

When Native Americans encountered Europeans who were more scientifically advanced than them, they were massacred by the Europeans. Despite the Europeans having more advanced technology than the Native Americans, they harmed the Native Americans for their own survival. Technological advancement does not necessarily equate to kindness. Present-day Native Americans certainly do not wish Columbus had discovered them. Humans possess intelligence and civilization that animals do not, but many people hunt just for pleasure. Some of these people may be Christians or Muslims who believe devoutly, yet they do not hate hunting animals for pleasure. How much animals wish humans wouldn't discover them. Therefore, the dark forest law also exists on Earth

This is epic. It is a new sci-fi concept with a scary mind-blowing story and awesome productions. I came across 3Body Problems by accident when I was surfing Netflix at my son's home. The first episode I watched was episode 5, I was blown and I was determined to watch it all. I enjoyed all of it. The Proton computers, the Sophons, and the AI manner of speaking explaining them are impressive. This is The best Sci-fi I ever watched.

Honestly a great explanation and visual representation for the visual medium. Show actually did the books justice. Now we need to get to the real good stuff and finish the series!!!

So happy that more people are getting to experience this story! Hopefully we get all three books.
Excellent first series , I really hope there's a second and third !
Good lord this episode was fantastic
This episode broke my brain but in the best way. I literally had to rewind this scene just to make sure I was understanding what I was hearing. Such a great scene
Its so dumb
Physics discovered atoms and found ways to control them, leading to the creation of atomic bombs. However, no matter how advanced engineering and chemistry are, they can never create atomic bombs. If a method to control time and space is discovered, people could build space jump engine ships to achieve faster-than-light travel. Engineering and chemistry, no matter how advanced, can never build light-speed spaceships. Therefore, the alien influence on particle accelerators, making every experiment result incorrect, signifies the end of human physics, and engineering technology, no matter how much it develops, has limitations. In this TV series, aliens possess a type of space weapon called the two-dimensional card. The card can transform planets or star systems from a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane world. This is a physics weapon.
Look....like the show or not, that boat scene was wild af!
I LOVE this part!!!
Amazing!
"even you can do that" just feels so SCARY when you consider what they're doing to humanity. This entire scene was so intimidating.
best sci fi show ever..I've rewatched it 6 times already.
Can you all please upload the scene with Khan? I want that clip to share.
I just saw this episode. It's fire.
Episode 5 as a whole was deeply unsettling and gave me a new sense of existential dread. I freaking love this show
One of the best scene i have seen in any film. Sophons amazing creation. Pure cosmic horror
There is only one way to defeat the San-Ti. For those who haven't read the books, you will learn of it in Season 2. It is what Ye Wengie hinted to in Episode 7. It is the greatest secret of the entire universe.
Is it by calling for help in the universe to a kind of galaxy police force ? Frankly i can’t imagine there would be none if the galaxy was so dangerous.
@@slylataupe4272 No. But "calling someone" is involved :)
@@harzzachseniorgamer5516 🤦♂️ who you gone call if not the police ? Ghostbusters? 😂
Ooh I'm so intrigued. Is it calling future humans?
@@juax3974 oh that’s a clever hypothesis!
Such a good episode
Sophon (Sea Shimooka) did a great job acting like AI, and her voice works so well. The whole speech (with the music) gave me goosebumps.
I'm currently only on episode 5, this series is the only franchise I am genuinely excited about compared to recent mainstream entertainment.
When I was a kid and played EmpireEarth, my friends told me the same thing.
FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING, PLEASE RENEW THIS NETFLIX!!
This episode is the most iconic of the season. For a stand point of someone whom never read the books, this episode revealed the whole plot that was built in the first episodes and clarified what seemed really confusing: the countdowns, the mass scientist suicides and everything else. I've loved the series that I'm willing to read the books now. But I hope Netflix finishes this one. Props to the executive producers and the GoT directors on this one. Best series I've watched since the Breaking Bad.
This is true psychological horror. It's terrifying to think about, and it doesn't need any jumpscares.
So they say human will surpass them, yet they are able to fold dimensions.
First quantum entanglement applied in a movie/series.
I’m pretty the MCU covered it.
I love the fact that they aren't capable of lying...otherwise we wouldn't know who they're and what their plans are for us..brilliant plot💙
Killer diller fantastic , I read the first book and think they did a really great job with it , more please .
damn they are hacking bro
Season 2 to be released in 398 years
I never read the book, only heard about it. I loved the show! Can’t wait for season 2.
Found this show absolutely fascinating 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I hope there's a season 2. This show is amazing!
It’s already been started. There are three books and the scale and timeline are huge. They dipped into all three books in this first season but there are still so many unbelievable story lines and plot twists coming up I imagine this lasting at least 5 seasons.
The show turned out better than I thought it would.
This is stunning ❤❤❤
I usually prefer more descriptive detail but the way they wrote this scene the way she is explain what a Sophon is she's purposefully extremely vague so as not to give anything away as how they can do what they are doing. Stuff like "We summon energies you cannot imagine", and "when we unfold it's dimensions, even a tiny proton becomes something very large indeed". and their entire species' collective arrogance really comes through with almost every sentence, she even insults the invasion and genocide and war they are starting, saying it's not a conquest - it's a funeral procession. It's not a war, it's an extermination. I'd interupt her in the middle of one of her descriptions and be like "ALRIGHT HEY HEY SETTLE DOWN." and pop her right in the kisser.
I took "it's not a conquest - it's a funeral procession." as an admission of desperation. THey will go extinct if they fail, and they WILL fail... unless they made preparations first.
ah.... the classic evil villain explaining their evil plot
The crazy part in the books is that the San-Ti aren’t even the most advanced species
Is that crazy? Or is that just how the actual Universe functions based on time?
