6 things that do not give scientific sense in the changing

Change It is a sci-fi story with a high concept that asks many big questions. He asks us – correctly – to focus more on the human part of Genoa's adventure, left whys and what exactly his space expedition works on good old -fashioned technobabble video games. There is no reason to have fun and explore some of the scientific gun holes of the game!

Too hard to think about the Dolly project opens up a lot of questions and Quandries, just like some dilemmas that could be even bigger than the game.

This article includes spoilers. We recommend that you complete the changes at least once before reading.

Faster travel than light is never explained

Dolly's project Quantum is designed to Optimize the best possible resultSpecifically for finding and extracting Rapium. For this purpose Constantly adjusts the navigation system of the shipParticipation in the direction of the star system and the planet is most likely to contain an elusive element.

This is all fine and good, but it still does not explain how Jan's ship and life ship follow, to achieve another stellar system within a few weeks. From Lucas's garbled message we know during the prologue that the planet of orbit Gliese 3804otherwise known as Red dwarf L 762-51, according to to Star catalog. It gives Jan 37 light -years from the ground.

Times differ every time playing, but assuming the rescue team leaves the country around 30. Day and arrive around 90, is a 60 -day journey, so Ally Corporation's vessels are able to travel in a rough diameter of 225 times the speed of lightin a slow estimate. However, as this performance is achieved, it is never explained and is obviously so common that no one thinks that it would mention it at any time.

It is theoretically impossible for anything in the universe to exceed the speed of light, it does not matter to travel at a hundred times at this speed.

Dilatation of time does not exist, except for cases

The common sci-fi puzzle is dilatation of timemaybe the most perfectly displayed in a movie Interstellar. Simply put, the closer you get to bright speed, it seems that the slower time proceeds for you. It is not possible to say how much it would realistically affect John, but it seems that it had no impact at all, either on the mobile base or on the ground.

Travel just below LightSpeed ​​would take about 37 years to reach the exoplanet while approximately 266 years, put or take, would pass to the ground. Call Lena would at least be excluded. It is possible that the interruption of the LightSpeed ​​barrier also portrays time dilation, but that would have to be explained in the universe of the game ..

In a discussion of time anomalies, the scientist mentions dilatation of time, so we know that there is at least a concept in John's world.

Whose giant monowheel was it?

The mobile base has a great design, but frankly, it is stunning that it still stands when Jan reaches it – at the end of the game does not matter. Before sending people there had to be a preliminary survey on the planet, if for a reason other than know what type of stock the crew would need; If Ally Corporation can send people, it can send drones.

Rocky, uneven terrain of the planet means that everything is a potential obstacle for the base Twenty story monowheels. Even worse is that the planet has an atmosphere capable of producing clouds and rain, which means the wind blows against a straight surface with a high center of gravity, So he risk the overturning of the whole thing. The base design can be comfortably modular, but it is a disaster waiting for it to happen.

What exactly are the changes made of?

Rapium does not create people from the whole fabric; Rather that accelerates the process of natural growth of organisms This raises the question of what the changes are actually based on.

It makes sense that the ship should be on board the embryo of sheep to test any potential rappey they found; it is Exactly what Jan is doingThis results in the birth of Molly during the prologue. It makes much less sense that there would be no human embryos on board for any reason, let alone seven, seven, Especially because the creation of changes has never been part of the original plan, even for Maxwell.

It is possible that with progress in medical technology, all the womb they really needed were some stem cells that could have a nursing module at hand to restore the limbs and organs, but that's it, but that's Just our best estimate. Maybe it's better to know in this case.

Is no one concerned that the planet shows the existence of extraterrestrial life?

If your jaw did not hit the floor when the game told you to “gather organic” on an alien planet, you did not pay attention in the scientific class. Organic matter, as per definition They must come from living or previously living organisms. Jan spends the whole game surrounded by An irreversible evidence of life existing somewhere else than the EarthAnd no one mentions it once.

The only explanation is that the discovery has already been created and taken into account, and it's simply accepted .. Otherwise there is no reason why the base would run on fossil fuels And expect a crew to drill on their arrival. Yet you would think that the answer to one of the most basic questions in the whole human existence Maybe he deserved a line somewhere.

The scientist is enthusiastic that at the end of his story he will discover live microorganisms in the oasis of Rapium, but again not nearly as excited as you could expect to be the first to discover the living aliens. This promotes the theory that alien life is rare in the universe of change, but is not unheard of.

Quantum computer could bring the end of humanity

Quantum computer is a dream tech bro; AI capable of creating a fully functional, perceiving human intelligence based on available data. Not only that can fully plan and perform the development of the human brain from the fetal stage to adulthood, Designing and building one of the most complex structures known to science with (relatively) limited side effects.

This kind of strength and intelligence is scary; The quantum computer is even capable of To develop theories from discarded dataLike research on nanomechanics, scientists and incorporate them into the developing brain in its attached uterus module. They can then change and proceed from these implanted memories and knowledge. This means that it has the ability to Create intelligence greater than yourself, Characteristic feature of technological singularity.

Technological singularity is a theoretical end point where artistic intelligence can adapt, upgrade and improve speed faster than people could. Although there is no way to say what the real consequences will be until it happens, the only thing that is certain We will no longer have control. In the universe of changes, as soon as the quantum computer realizes what is capable, everything that mankind can do is hope it is benevolent.
