There's a Dr. Stone character popularity poll going on at the moment, and when you answer you get a random character icon, so I've gone and downloaded all of them.

Dr. Stone, New World episode 21

I don’t remember reading the firework’s backstory in manga. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If it was not in the manga, but the animation decided to add this nugget from the past, I am grateful. Little kindergartener Senku in Yukata and his excited Dad, reminding him that science is everywhere, even firecrackers, was a good decision. It instilled early into Senku a respect for labour and craft and knocked him down from a potential high chair where only “Theoretical Physics and Nuclear Research” is deemed as science; while mundane creations like firecrackers or toasters are not seen as anything beyond tech.

But everything we use, in this modern life, is a result of centuries of trial and error. Though I am a science noob, this animanga reignited my curiosity for everyday development in science and technology.

Hence, I repeat :

Byakuya, deserves the best AniManga dad of the year. Dude adopted his friend’s son and raised that little shit with love and freedom, and it shows. Senku is rightly independent, but he understands his ideas and knowledge will be wasted without help from both skilled and unskilled people. He alone cannot speedrun to modernity; it's all thanks to his upbringing.

And we know, Senku never speaks about it, but he really misses his dad. I am glad the animation team keep giving such glimpses from the past.

Happy Birthday

Byakuya Ishigami (8th October)

Dr. Stone

“Someday, Senku, I know that you’ll come along… and just like that… you’ll break the world free of its petrification!”

[frogizzhc]

Hi!! How are you ? Could you please write some Ishigami Byakuya headcanons ? I haven't seen any yet and I'm sad about that (I'm just obsessed with him tbh) Have a great day :)

Oh sure, order up, Byakuya headcanons!

Dr. Stone Headcanons: Byakuya Edition!

He was probably related to Senku in some way, either one of his parent's siblings or a distant cousin, they look too much alike to not be related somehow.

When he adopted Senku, he most likely always wanted a son because he possibly had a bad relationship with his father and he'd want to create a healthy relationship with his child unlike how his father did.

As a kid, Byakuya's father was probably not supportive of him being a scientist/astronaut, probably never supported him for anything and so he made a note to himself that if he has kids, he'd be the most supportive dad ever.

Byakuya is totally a dog person, and he was planning on getting one after he came back from space.

He would like jazz or the blues

He had a little science obsession at the same age Senku did and was obsessed with space and rocks, so he would study space and all kinds of rocks up until he went to highschool.

Byakuya, beyond the grave, while knowing him coming back after the global petrification helped prepare Senku and the rest of the K.O.S. , he sometimes wishes that he was petrified at some point so he can see success of humanities attempt to rebuild civilization.

Ghost Byakuya always looking after Senku, watching every unsuccessful and successful trial of science. He's proud of every achievement his son has accomplished and wishes he could be there for him.

Byakuya was always delighted to have Taiju and Yuzuriha over, he wasn't much of a cook, but he'd make some lunch or dinner for them when they'd come over after school.

When Senku was first showing interests in science, Byakuya would watch tons of movies about space with Senku. It'd be like a dad-son movie night every other day with pop-corn and cola.

Sometimes he felt like he wasn't a good dad because of some small petty discussions/arguments he had with Senku when he was really young but we all know he's the best anime father there is.

In the very distant future, ayy

Even if we look different in a different world

We met then too, ah

Promise to continue the story that couldn't be told on this star

Dr. Stone chapter 1D Trivia post

Spoilers ahead

We knew there was a slippery slope but we didn't know which one it was.

First things first, as we saw, Kaseki was not dead after all, and neither was Francois.

This clears things from chapter 232.5 (Dr. Stone Terraforming) where Kaseki was not shown at all, and although Francois was shown to be at the plane at the moment of the crash, they were never shown to be rescued.

We do get a glimpse at Senku throughout his lifetime (hypothetically at least). The pictured time machine, just like the large one they are building, features the telltale disk from the movie "The time machine" (duh) from 1960, based on a novel by H.G. Wells, written in 1895.

We also see him using a bunch of yagi antennas again, as well as a small satellite dish, all pointed in different directions in his homebrew setup, perhaps in an attempt to catch the signal regardless of which direction it's coming from. A concern I've heard is why would Byakuya contact Senku's future attempt but not the one from his childhood, and the answer likely boils down to the technology. As Xeno said they used a specialized detector to spot tiny bursts of petrification beam

I am not sure what such a detector might entail, but since the petri beam involves a flash of light, perhaps something like a photomultiplier tube could do it, as they can detect individual photons

The Tokyo Sky Tree is a radio tower, housing a restaurant and an observation deck, it is also the tallest manmade structure in Japan with a height of 634 meters, or 532.7 times the canon height of Suika in chapter 178.

Here it looks like they've drawn the wrong design for the medusa capsule, this one has a speaker on the inside like the original that was sent to the moon, whereas once whyman was discovered, they changed the design to one with a small antenna in its place, and a speaker/microphone on the outside for them to communicate.

This is what I feel like in university

Yes we are

next up, energy

1.21 Exawatts has no basis I know of other than being a reference to the 1.21 Gigawatts used by the time machine from Back to the Future. 1 exawatt = 1000000000 gigawatts, so I guess Dr. Brown's machine was actually very fuel efficient.

The (exa)watt is technically not a unit of energy but rather of the rate of energy transfer (or how fast energy's being delivered in layman's terms).

I assume he means (exa) watt-hours, a multiple of the watt-hour, which is an energy unit handy for working with electricity calculations. This amount of energy is equivalent to a bit shy of 900000 megatons of TNT. However, if you could capture 100% of the sun's output (and I mean all of it, a la dyson sphere, not just what hits the earth, and with 100% efficiency) and store it, you could collect that amount of energy in just under 30 seconds. This amount is also probably larger than the consumption of humanity over the last 60 years. It is in fact larger than the energy consumed wordwide between 1800 and 2010 by a factor of about two, going from adding and converting the data here.

Helium 3 is an isotope of helium with a nucleus made of 2 protons and 1 neutron (unlike normal helium which consists of 2 and 2 of each).

Because it's a very light gas, it tends to float away from the earth and get swept off into space much like regular helium does, and it is believed that larger amounts of it will be available on the moon, where it is formed naturally in a slow but steady supply when natural lithium is bombarded with neutrons from cosmic rays. Helium 3 can theoretically function as fuel in a fusion reactor, having the advantage that it does not release neutrons in the reaction, meaning it does not bombard other materials inside the reactor making them radioactive (and He-3 is not radioactive itself either).

The big issues are its low availability and the fact that a reactor for this fuel would need even higher temperatures than the reactors we are experimenting with today, and we are barely starting. On that note, Tsukasa eating chip

These robots are very strange, they walk on their claws, only having wheels at the back and carrying what looks a lot like an old time minecart. If anyone knows what the name Johnny 7 might be referring to, let me know. So far I can see that there was a sentient robot named Johnny 5 in the 1986 film Short Circuit, which looked like this.

I could also note that the robots have "Battery A" and "Battery B" noted on them.

It might just be a coincidence, but I like to think it might be a nod to an early project in the series, the cellphone.

The cellphone had two battery packs, the lead acid pack to run the vacuum tube filament, and Gen's manganese battery pack, which ran the tube anode. Historically these two battery packs were designated "A" and "B".

For the record this is also the reason you can buy AAA, AA, C, and D size cells, but no B batteries. Those batteries used to exist, but they don't anymore, since the equipment they powered is long obsolete. Next up, Chrome has a flashback to Ruri's flashback.

Kirisame's headpiece has reverted to the seldom seen spiral horn version, she is most typically seen with the one shaped like cat ears.

Next up:

No, I will not apologise

This does not seem to be the same restaurant mentioned in chapter 43, though I guess it could have changed, since Senku seems older (might it be the restaurant in the sky tree?)

Also Senku puts on Byakuya's coat that was on the back of his chair.

Speaking of chapter 43...

Ukyo is not well

It's no longer Nanami Corp, it's just Ryusui

To conclude, my take on what is happening

It's been hinted multiple times that we may see the involvement of alternate timelines, which comes as an answer to the occurence of a paradox if Senku were to travel back in time or even just contact himself. The title of the chapter comes to echo this. Higher dimensions have been a bit of a popular topic lately with people making games in four dimensions, etcetera. This however is not that by the looks of it, the fourth dimension mentioned would be an additional time dimension, which can be interpreted as the existence of convergent or divergent timelines. One of the less obvious things that remain to be seen is how Byakuya (or someone pretending to be him) knew when and where to contact someone in a different timeline. We also don't know where in time they are located. It is assumed at first that the incoming message is from the future but if we are dealing with a parallel universe it may as well be coming from the past or even be coming in in "real time" (as if such concepts of relative time held up in multidimensional time).

Senku could have used the time machine to meet (or even save) his birth parents, but his entire focus was on saving and seeing Byakuya again.

To him Byakuya is his dad and nothing could ever change that.

happy birthday senku my beloved 🫶
