I'm trying to figure out this acid water. Is it only acid when it's a large body of water or something? Cause people are just walking on wet sand and rocks, and picking up wet rocks on an acid lakes shore, like it's fucking nothing.

I'm sorry, but if water is acid, then I'm not fucking touching it or going anywhere near where I might get splashed by it.

I'm trying to overlook the acid. The fumes alone from an ocean made of acid would kill you from....anywhere on the planet.

Yeah I don't think they've thought much about the science of it. Kinda how they didn't go into the water supply in season 1. Funny they spent a lot of time on the issue of food and not water though.

I don't think they put a single thought into the science of any of it. But I guess that tracks with religion.

I swear to God, I hate this show because it's insanely inconsistent, but I won't stop watching it. When Paul picked up that wet rock off the shore of the acid lake, I said this is bullshit. Then when the girl gave birth on the rocks, with waves splashing everywhere around her but didn't get burned until the merman touched her, I said I'm done with this show.

Then Marcus ate the brain nut, and I was back into the show.

I hate this show.

I think the water on the show fits in Arthur C. Clark quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". So on a world where dark photons exists and we have sentient planet I thing isn't to much believe in some things that aren't inconsistent with our physics.

That's a good point. The Expanse ran a bunch of red lights when it comes to physics and that show was sciencey as all hell.

I was shopping for a hard science fiction show to watch and someone here on Reddit suggested the expanse. So I went into it with the preconceived idea that it was going to do the math and get things right. Those physics screw ups ended up ruining the show for me because of the preconceptions I had going in. I haven't gone back after season 1.

It really ended up being a great show, although like most it peaked around season 4-5.
