3 Body Problem

The TV show “3 Body Problem” introduces a major conundrum for humanity:  Aliens are on their way, and there is nothing we can do about it.  Are they friendly?  Are they hostile?  Who knows (Who am I kidding, we all know they will eventually turn on us)?  There is an upside though:  It will take them 400 years to get here, so we have some time.  But how did they find us in the first place?   What is their obsession with VR tech?  And what is a three body problem anyway?  Luckily The Brain Trust is here to help navigate this situation and answer all your questions.

At the end of the last episode things looked pretty bleak. Highly advanced aliens are on their way and they are stifling our scientific breakthroughs. But humans are resilient. The aliens call us bugs, but nothing is more hardy than the cockroach. But what can we do? Well we specialize in out of the box thinking. How about shooting a probe towards the aliens containing the frozen brain of a brilliant scientist? What about nano wires that can silently cut a yacht into 5 sections? Or maybe we go straight analogue and create a committee of people who keep all of the strategies of humanity safely in their head? These seem like wild ideas, but there is a method to this madness. Listen as we give humanity hope that there may be a way to prepare for the alien that are speeding towards Earth at 1% light speed.
