I’m watching #3bodyproblem and reading EE Doc Smith’s Skylark at the same time. And the similarities are striking, even if the timescales are a less realistic in the century old books. #scifi#bookstodon@bookstodon
Trisolar Music: Each Star gets a 3-note tune (major, minor and diminished chord I think)
The planet playes the closest star, pitchproximity, pacespeed.
Wie viel Wissenschaft steckt in der Netflix-SciFi-Serie "3 Body Problem"? Darüber habe ich gestern Abend drei Stunden lange mit Dr. Lisa Ringena von IsoQuant Heidelberg & @nawik und Cedric Engels aka Doktor Whatson bei ARTE #Couchwissen gesprochen.
I haven't been sucessfull in integrating JMusic into my Project so far (never used external libraries before)
Meanwhile @kandid brought my attention to soundification and I did succeed at multithreading! One thread does the gravity sim while the other soundifies it: Pitch increases the closer the planet gets to the star. The pace changes with the planets speed
I've been staying up too late reading the second book in the 3 Body series.
Although the concepts in the first book are epic, the second book feels more action-packed and exciting. It's not all talking characters, but stuff is happening. It makes me want to keep reading to find out more.
Chinese science fiction history shapes Netflix's '3 Body Problem' influence - FRIDAY ANALYSIS
I don’t often get to indulge my appreciation of Sinology, i.e., the study of Chinese history and culture, but Netflix’s new science fiction series “3 Body Problem” has piqued the curiosity of many people unaware of the country’s expansive Sci-Fi connections.
“Was that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. “Nobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It’s like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think ‘My god, ghosts are real.’ But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?”
What's your favorite reviews of "Three body problem"? Especially ones that focus on discussing the physics - both in terms of depiction of physics and physicists and in terms of how correct the books are?
Preferably of the Netflix series, but I'll also accept those for the books if especially good on discussing the physics.
I finished #3BodyProblem last night. It's dogshit. 0/10 I hate it. If you're a fan of the books watch #ThreeBody on Prime instead. It's a very good representation of the books. If you just like random Game of Thrones actors doing their best with a god awful script that is tangentially related to the books, I guess sure check out 3BP, I'm not your dad.
「 Chaos, in the mathematical sense, does not refer to its common usage of "disarray and disorganisation". Instead, it is often characterised by what mathematicians refer to as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This means that the behaviour of two otherwise identical chaotic systems, initiated with extremely similar (but not exactly identical) initial conditions, will eventually become vastly different from each other 」
The #FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) ecosystem is a #3BodyProblem with 3 stars called Share, Learn and Adapt surrounding each other in unpredictable patterns. Depending on your point of view, the positions of the three stars change in seemingly erratic ways, but it is a very stable system, that continues to evolve and move us all forward. In this TED talk ...
Sehr kluger Text in der LA Review of Books über #3bodyproblem
„China’s sophon, TikTok, which is now on the verge of being banned in the US over fears that it’s collecting data on Americans, especially the children whose cognitive development it supposedly freezes in place. We might then turn our attention to a little red N that is doing much the same thing to its own subscribers.“
"We're talking about something super close to us," Franck Marchis, a senior planetary astronomer with the SETI Institute, said. "It's like looking at the backyard of neighbors, basically."
