Dr.STONE SCIENCE FUTURE

I think they were more concerned with reviving manpower and making sure there's enough supplies for everyone that is revived. Each area they revive is for a specific resource. Between Senku and Xeno they already got the rocket covered(plus i think they both have the ego of "This is our rocket and achievement from before the stone age"). We also dont know how much revival fluid they have. The author doesn't really say unless it's a plot point.

Even Space X, with it's fully functional global supply chain, that according to science is "currently too large and complex to understand", can't produce rockets at the rate this show/manga did. 😉 It started out fairly believable, but I think the author was too eager to show stuff that wasn't remotely possible, so it definitely ended up a sci-fi mess. Season 1-2 were great tho. Will rewatch (but likely not past Dr. Xenu).

I had this same issue with failed launch after failed launch. I'm watching through my screen at the pad on this TINY island. And it's like, don't they need a remote team to construct and then SHIP parts to the isle? Much less assemble it all. With a handful of people doing the raw material extraction and then one really old guy hammering out all the frames. This is decades of work in progress. It's been bad like that for a while now. So just switch it off, right? WEll, what about Whyman? They first launched an exploratory satellite up. Then launch after launch with large catastrophic explosions. You mean to tell me Whyman is just sitting there watching it all and doesn't give a shit? Why not drop ONE Medusa device at the island. Or heck, go for another 16000 radius burst and get em all. The "enemy" just sits idle for centuries watching all this shit go down?

fundamentally, the backbone of the internet is 570ish undersea fiber optic data cables of varying length that connect countries and continents. Some are 100-150km long, like those connecting ireland and the uk. Some are thousands, or even tens of thosuuands, of km long, and span across the pacific, atlantic, or the african continent. That's literally how the "magic" of the internet works. Satellite uplinks, cell towers, the wall jacks and routers and fiber cabling that goes into your house, those are all relays, but the big connections that make the internet ubiquitous are those undersea cables I speak of.

I mean, even the modern internet slowly grew out of technology that isn't much more advanced than what they're working with here. The transition from the original ARPANET to what we have now was a piecemeal Theseus-esque thing, not a hard replacement. I can imagine them eventually reaching a similar level to us the same way. Hell, you'd be surprised how many of those older foundational technologies from the internet's infancy are still functional. People still use Usenet , after all. And teletext . Some people are still on dial-up, even.

The issue is that they simply aren't showing the contributions of all the no-name people they've been reviving in the cities enough. It was the same in the manga. So, it just appears like our core group of 20 characters are doing all these amazing feats when, in fact, there are like armies of other people in the background helping we never see. When you realize this, it makes their progress make more sense.

Yep. Humanity probably numbers in at least the thousands by now, if not tens or even hundreds of thousands. As an analogue, the 'core' team at NASA working on Apollo was about a hundred crack scientists/engineers, but the overall program employed about 400,000 people in total - most of whom won't be remembered alongside the likes of George Mueller or Von Braun (rough equivalents to Senku and Xeno).

Realistically, an apocalyptic event like the stone world would take ~200 years to recover from, even if we had every piece of literature and knowledge at our disposal (which they basically do in Dr Stone becauusue of Senku and Xeno's encyclopedic minds and the other savants like chelsea, ryusei, sai, etc). It took us 15 episode to create sulfanilamide, and that was roughly 1.5-2 years after senku woke up. There simply isn't a realistic way to have the story resolve without greatly accelerating things.

I knew it would be too easy if they just successfully launched their first rocket. I'm glad to see that the first one was a failure and we get this hilarious reaction face from the gang. 😆 Since it took them seven tries to successfully send a satellite up to space, how long did that actually take? Based on You's reaction , it sounded like it took them at least another year. I do love how even Xeno couldn't help but cry when they finally launched the rocket. So, the Why-Man is showing up as a moving lump of darkness on the moon. I'm really curious to see what the actual Why-Man will look like when they get there because that looks like a pretty large area of the moon. It turns out, Chrome's big plan is actually a multi-stage rocket. I really thought Senku and Xeno didn't consider this, but it looks like they did and dismissed it because of how difficult it will be to create, given how complex it is. Now they're making the internet? I love how Sai immediately burst out of his clothes when he heard that. I guess they're gonna start laying down undersea cables next episode?

Well, senku and the kingdom of science are sort of proving him and Stanley wrong. They thought humanity wouldn't be able to advance at all without strong rule. Yet humanity in the stone world is coming together, and it is going for the more difficult, more scientifically ambitious path. They're reviving hundreds of thousands, perhaps even a few million, and now they're going to achieve an engineering breakthrough with orbital assembly that was limited in the old world by politics and economical constraints around the resources needed.

It took them years to get the launch right, but I want to appreciate how much Suika and Chrome have been learning all that time. They didn't have the luxury of learning math and physics the systematic way like modern people do. They had to learn only the things related rocketry, so they had to go from macro to micro until they knew enough about rocket science to even propose a viable plan, which they did, but they were still missing the details. Again, it goes to show Chrome would be a Nobel prize winner if he had been raised in the 21st century. He has great instincts.

Isn’t there a whole multimedia speculative fiction project named 17776 or something about satellites enjoying looooong distance football? The satellite “talking” in this episode reminded me of that. (I googled. Yes, it’s called 17776 about probes. Apparently, on April 7, 2026, humanity stopped dying, aging, and being born and all diseased were cured. And football is still going strong.) It’s been one week since you looked at me three years now? I kinda wish there were more visual cues to help with the passage of time. But I’m impressed we have astrophysics and rocket science before we have the internet, but this is probably my bias since the internet is younger than rockets, I think. And for what Sai says, I was so curious, so I found sources! The explanation for the error, according to numerous accounts in the weeks and years that followed, was more complicated: a combination of system failures destabilized the spacecraft, and one of them appeared to originate with a “missing hyphen” or bad FORTRAN code somewhere in the software. But a funny thing happened on the way to space history: FORTRAN wasn’t being used for the rocket guidance system, and a missing hyphen wasn’t really to blame. The missing character was actually an overbar, or vinculum, a mathematical figure meant to indicate the mean of a set. When transcribing by hand the code for the guidance program, some unknown engineer at NASA had missed the overbar in “R-dot-bar sub n” or which means “the nth smoothed value of the time derivative of a radius R.” Without the smoothing function indicated by that overbar, the rocket’s software interpreted normal minor variations of velocity as if they were serious. This caused mistaken corrections that sent the rocket off course and into oblivion. — VICE (see below) Now I have more questions. I guess FORTRAN is a programming language by IBM? And stands for * Formula Translating System*. And early IBM computers didn’t have lowercase which is why it was in all caps/small caps, which is so crazy. Were we all just shouting at each other in all caps for a period of time? Is that why old people write in all caps? TIL!

If you want both upper- and lower-case letters, that's twice as many characters, which means you're using twice as much memory. For modern hardware that's absolutely negligible but when you only have a few bits to work with, saving half the memory required to display characters is huge. Capital letters are more unmistakable, so that's the only alphabet old computers had. Wasn't until well after lower case letters became an option that people started associating caps with yelling. As for old people, I don't really know, but I'd assume a lot of them just use it because of their declining eyesight.

This show makes me so hopeful with its big impact moments. I do miss the trial and error of science that we kinda got back this episode. I understand that the resources they need aren’t limited anymore and they are reaping the dividends of globetrotting but a lot of the breakthroughs and needs feel too convenient in this back half of the series. We need ATVs? Boom, done. Computers? I know a guy. TV? By golly, I did that last week for funsies

Dr. Stone is a good anime but it's hard to suspend my disbelief around this part of the anime. Like Senku's group becoming allies with Xeno group (Granted Tsukasa was the main antagonist for awhile and now he's good friends with Denki), then in the previous few episodes they managed to create TV and computer and apparently in this episode there's a time skip but it doesn't look like any of the characters have aged since the time skip

Oh yeah, I forgot: A metal detector, and a stealth coating for ships using the Medusas to hide from sonar, and an automated triggering mechanism for the miracle liquid. Probably forgot a few other things too He's a genius and you can tell both xeno and senku respect him, as he's surprised them both with his creativity. He might not have the experience with math and physics, or the knowledge of thousands of machines and devices from humanity's past, but in a way, it allows him to think more freely about problems and their solutions. And we've seen it in his random lightbulb moments.

If years have passed a bunch of the main cast should've become parents by now. Why do we not see babies anywhere? Tsukasa Empire did tackle sexuality in their society and they were anti-adults, so you can't justify avoiding it just because most of the cast started out as teenagers. I was a little bit hopeful last(?) episode when Kinro and that Treasure Island chick were presenting a tv show together, when she previously expressed interest in him. Does the manga go into this a bit deeper?

Soooo...15 years have passed in the course of this series, and we are to believe that during all that time, this cast of teenagers and young adults, have been successfully keeping it in their pants? I mean, I'm sorry, and I don't intend to be crass at all, but, really? Nobody has fallen in love? No smitten flings? No torrid affairs? Gotten married? Families? Children? That's almost more unbelievable than the way they keep just pulling tech advancements outta nowhere.

I'll say this as many times as needed, but this anime series sure gets me to shed tears most of the time. Not because it has any sad plot or what, but because of how cool science is, how awesome science people are, and how genius of a creator God is! 😭 To be able to figure out every tiny detail like that, to be able to memorise and practise all that cool stuff that most of us mere humans would never be able to do in our lifetime. Damn, I'm so grateful to our ancestors. It's even more awesome that God only provides certain info and clues for things, yet we humans are able to figure them out even if it takes time. How can I put this into words? I cannot. The coolness, awesomeness of science, science people, and everything that happened stemming from science, from our one creator, heaven, they are sooo truly magnificently awesome! Though science also causes much destruction, to be able to figure out what makes the destructive stuff from science, that's also a wonder. Truly, people unite because of science. I sincerely and wholeheartedly thank my ancestors for everything, thanks God for creating such brilliant creations! 🙇🏻‍♂️

While it was finally good to show some setbacks, these specific ones on the Senku rocket had to have been very costly in terms of materials, labor, and time. We are only now seeing a global collaboration when those shipments arrive, but I have to wonder, there's gotta be people all over the world that have been revived who can do much of this stuff too. There are other scientists out there, other laborers, other mechanical engineers etc. Either way, for the sake of the story, we just have to roll with everything revolving around our main characters.

Honestly, I was expecting Senku and Xeno to bring in renowned rocket engineers and even astronauts to assist them, considering how Senku has always revived specific talents to aid him in specific tasks from the start of the series. However, I also think that introducing new characters at this stage to solve their issue would somewhat undermine the cast's efforts and especially Chrome, with how the story constantly emphasizes on his potential. That being said, I guess another possible issue that I can think of with leaving the exploratory team petrified on the moon is the possibility of the statues just floating away with enough impact. Gravity on the moon is significantly weaker than Earth and it is plausible to consider the possibility of them drifting far beyond what the eventual 2 way rocket could reach to retrieve them.

I love dcst so so much so please don’t come for me, but am i the only one who’s slightly disappointed chrome’s big genius plan was basically to force senku’s hand through democracy? I know it would be completely implausible and entirely unfeasible for him to create, with no modern knowledge and less than 5 years training on space and maths, something these two rocket scientists wouldn’t have thought of first, but i get so hyped whenever chrome does something sciencey, and this fell so flat for me. I think even if his ‘assemble the rocket on the moon’ plan had been a bit more detailed, it would’ve shown that he was utilising all the maths and science he and suika had endeavoured for years to understand. Or, if senku and xeno had glazed him a little more, it would’ve felt like all the effort they’d put had been worth it. I guess i was hoping for a moment similar to when he and kaseki made the water wheel. Even though he knows (and we the viewer know) that his idea was the result of years of deliberation, it was presented in a way that looked like he completely incidentally stumbled upon a half decent idea then convinced everyone to agree so they could do the scientific heavy lifting. Maybe this’ll be remedied in the next episode, or maybe it’ll even be chrome leading the charge and i’m complaining over nothing, but i was just really disappointed that something i thought would be a pivotal moment for the non-modern science users ended up being gimmicky and brushed off.
