3 Body Problem Premise


Ye Wenjie is an astrophysicist who sees her father beaten to death during a struggle session in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. She is conscripted by the military because of her scientific background and is sent to a secret military base in a remote region. Her decision at the base to respond to contact from an alien planet has implications for a group of scientists in the present day, forcing them to face humanity's greatest threat.

The three-body problem is an arm of cosmology, where the “bodies” are celestial, like calculating where planets are in relation to each other over time. (Chinese sci-fi author Liu Cixin used the term as a pun for the title of his Hugo Award-winning 2015 novel about murdered astrophysicists.) Applications range from the earliest low-tech ship navigators to modern theories of spaceflight like gravity assists, and the mathematical complexity of the problem itself has made it interesting to both mathematicians and computer scientists for many years.

Tom and Greg talk about the Hollywood Writers Strike with their guest Ron Barbagallo who lives a stone's throw away from Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank

We did not write this episode in solidarity to the writers on strike:
That's why our podcast is not as professional as it should be, because it has not been written,  That's true. We, I think that anybody listening to this podcast would know very well that it's either not written or scripted in such a way that somebody has the word ahh and Ummm into our dialogue over and over again.
