Burn explanation[]

This Discovery Season 3 Burn explanation still doesn't make any sense. Even if Su'Kal have connection to dilithium and subspace (just like many other species are connected to subspace), nothing explain how this dilithium-to-unstable shockwave was able go so fast through galaxy in like one second. Just doesn't make any sense.

It would require billions and billions times more energy than Su'Kal is able to produce to create shockwave that can reach everyplace in galaxy in under second and even if some event would be able to cause this shockwave go to every part of galaxy, it surely would take much more time than just under second. Massive energy shockwave is completely different thing than subspace message.


Also black box explanation didn't make any sense in show. If they stopped recording at that moment when each ship went unstable, you still could map out when it happened in each location and map out where Burn started. You didn't need black boxes that keep recording after Burn.

Talk pages aren't a place to discuss plot holes or complaints you have with the show. Use the "Discuss" button on the header bar for that.
Talk pages are to discuss issues with or improvements to articles. -- Sulfur (talk) 01:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

You totally misunderstood my text. It wasn't about discuss plot holes or complaints that I would have with the show.

My text was all about improvements to article because Michael Burnham and Saru just speculated that Su'Kal caused The Burn that special way. It was their speculation, not a fact like implyed in the article. That should been mentioned on article. -- Blomstar (talk) 12:17, 01 March 2021 (UTC)
