On: Using the Moon as an Echo [video]

[meitham]

This is the main plot from 3 body problem using the moon to magnify the signal!

[meta-level → meitham]

it was neither the moon or a main plot in 3 body problem. And surely no signals have been magnified by the moon..

IIRC wasn't it using solar plasma as an astrophysical maser?

To be honest I am beginning to doubt my own understanding of the plot, I never read the book but watched the tv show with my wife and my recollection was just the moon itself would magnify the signal

ah maybe they made it the moon in the TV show. That wouldn't make a lot of sense, but.. TV so who knows.
