That must’ve have been the biggest demoralization that the UNSC probably faced ever since Reach. Losing the Infinity that quickly was a severe loss not only to the UNSC but to humanity considering that was at the time their most powerful vessel. Here’s to the sister ship being finished soon.
The books said it well “humanity is innovative, the Covenant is imitative” The Covenant just took Forerunner technology and imitated it. We took Forerunner and Covenant tech, mixed it with our own and made it better.
To be fair that was mostly the Prophet's doing, as they deemed who was allowed to tinker with forerunner tech, and IIRC when they were fighting the elites, part of the reason they were even participating in that conflict was because the elites were using forerunner technology for weapons which the prophets thought was blasphemous. Also considering the fact that basically no race the covenant encountered was able to stand up to them nearly as much as humanity, it can be inferred that the covenant didnt see a need to improve on stuff that was already good enough to slaughter anyone they came across. Even though humanity stood up, covenant weaponry just obliterated their stuff. Metal body armor doesnt do much against 4000 degree plasma. Missiles aren't nearly as effective as light-speed energy beams.
@@everythingsalright1121 you are correct on the san'shyuum and sangheili the war of beginnings and in lore plasma just burns through any armor but spartan
I just thought of something. Given how long this video is; If one were to walk at around 2.5mph/4kph while listening to this, one could walk from the bow to the stern of the UNSC Infinity than an additional 2.5-ishkm/1.5-ishmi back in the other direction.

I was not expecting a deep dive into metallurgy / materials science. As someone who majored in this subject, this was really well done. Awesome work man.
@@Thlormby obviously he's taken some liberties to explain some of the properties that current materials cannot achieve, but overall everything stated seemed plausible and consistent with what I learned in my undergrad.
I like the idea of The Archive. Imagine covering the nuts and bolts of a US naval vessel, talking about the Phalanx CWIS for the 23rd time. ALL of them have it!
I remember having an argument with someone and they were arguing that somehow the Death Star could literally outrun a MAC round from a fleet of UNSC ships. He was quoting ridiculous speeds which might be true. But then I just retort “well then explain if it was at the speed of light?” And explained the Infinity. Yeah Star Wars is a space opera, not a military sci-fi.
That's one of the reasons why the second death star had a shield generator. One hit on the Death Star's main reactors would overload the whole thing. Also, while yes the death star could go in hyperspace, the problem is that between jumps there is a recharge period and to recalculate the next jump. The Death Star is indeed slow when it comes to changing directions. It's not its sublight speed that guy quoted, which is slow, it's probably its speed while in hyperspace.

The audio files did make it clear it was largely the element of surprise though, the Infinity wasn’t even able to deploy its onboard fleet before they were boarded.

Such a beautiful and grand ship. One of the best things to come from the 343 games in my opinion. The books are way better though. After reading some of the books and learning the lore, q lot of people say it ruins the eerieness and mystery. For me, it adds a new sickening layer of eerieness and new mysteries. Mostly I wonder the old structures of the foruneers and think: "AM I standing in the last place a forerunner stood? What were the forerunners here thinking of when the rings activated? Were they thinking about their lives with regret or pride?" And so on. As for the Infinity, I love many of the mysteries behind how they reverse engineered forerunner and covenant tech to build such a massive and powerful ship. It makes me wonder if the war would have continued, would humanity have built more of these ships while they hunt the remaining Civenant and recolonize space? So many question!

I mean this in the politest way but I’ve just put this on and fallen asleep listening to it. It was the most peaceful sleep I’ve had. I woke up a few times, listened to some interesting facts, and fell asleep again. This is bliss.

Oh boy this is the best video on your channel. The other Infinity vid was good, but you adding all the parts you relegated to the Archive is just *Chefs Kiss* what this channel is all about!
This reminds me of the SDF-3. A deep space explorer built by humans. Incorporating alien Zentradi and Invid technology that they understand. But aren't entirely used to. And the construction of Infinity addresses my biggest problem with Star Trek Into Darkness. How do you build a giant ship. With massive construction crews and the resources to build three regular ships. Without an oversite committee realizing it?
Probably the same way they abducted 75 children almost simultaneously. Deceit, deception, denial, and misdirection. Think about the development of real world aircraft. F-22, F-35 and the like. They were in the air flying, the US govt deniedit, and people thought they were UFOs. Now consider the amount of space available to the UNSC i general, and ONI specifically. Add that possible amount of space, with communications blackouts,amd the fact that the people working on building it lived on location, and weren't allowed to leave, and it starts to get easier to see how they hid it. Also, in no way was this meant as a sarcastic or negatice response.
wow....i mean WOW. I am impressed. i am really just blown tf away seriously. GREAT VIDEO. the amount of work you put into this was no doubt a massive undertaking. you really got deep into the physics equations which are not for the faint of heart and you articulated it all very well. REALLY GOOD thank you for this video!
If him and his ship made it past halo 1 probably not they might just keep upgrading it. But if he made it and his ship didn't I think there would be a high chance of him being captain of the infinity cause he is a very good captain in the halo universe
With those calcs you gave, pretty much easy to say a frigate in the unsc could effectively end a world if it wanted to. As long as its uncontested and has a lot of bullets
Yeah basically...a single frigate shot is like 2-3 gigaton yield every shot...the larger rounds are 10 gigatons a shot and a odp is roughly 50 gigaton shot...Idk what the infinity is..but probably 4-many times higher than the odps..
Imma take a wild guess that whoever created the lore of the armor used on UNSC ships, they took inspiration from WW1 and WW2 surface vessel armor types: Grade A and Grade B armor plate. Grade A is face hardened and is extremely tough and hard, but more brittle compared to Grade B, which is more malleable and ductile.
This is insanely detailed & meticulously researched. Unfrigginbelievable. You might have a problem, dude. And I love it. Gimmie more, gimmie more lore! :)
Did you know that metallurgists are working on a titanium cross section that would be formed similar to plywood? The strength of the metal is longitudinal. ie along the long axis of the metal as it was formed. with the metal in flux at a temperature that I do not know the metal is cross layered. This gives the metal a very strong structure on multiple axis. I would assume that in 2550 that the game is set in this process, or its like, has been improved to the point where more than the current two axis can be processed at a time. The armor would then be able to withstand hits from energy and concussive weapons even at the level of the Covenant. Then as the technology and metallurgy continues to improve the metal would be quicker to manufacture giving the UNSC the ability to put the armor on ships of the size of the Infinity fast. Otherwise the build time would be measured in decades.
Can you imagine if they can get a favor from Spark and get a Forerunner seed upgrade with a shard, integrated into the Infinity with hard light technology
Can someone please explain to me how a 6km spaceship can hover over a city without its antigravity generators crushing all the people below it into a thin red smear?
Because anti-gravity is tuning to an existing magnetic field to where you anchored in it. Now if you using a directional based propulsion to fight gravity your on to something. Just remember distributed forces. Such a method basically vtol is going to be optimized for distribution. Meaning you need to be in the cone of its effective wake to be affected.
In most ways the UNSC Infinity does while only half the size it maximizes its utility. One of the things from a Navy standpoint is that this is one of the few large scale ships that actually makes sense for its size. It's capabilites and mission justify
Did well on the description of materials science and engineering here, couldn’t have said it better myself with my MEng and EngD in materials engineering of aerospace applications 👏🏻
I wish we had been shown the demise of this ship. I just can’t believe that the banished were able to destroy it. I know she wasn’t anywhere near full strength but I just think they should have more about it in the lore at least
I personally don't buy the game's story of the infinity being destroyed, much less any of the boarding actions. The infinity is far, far, far more powerful than is represented during cutscenes. Purely by the hardware she is equipped with, the Infinity is arguably ahead of even a CSO class carrier by a fair margin. Hell, her forward MAC cannons are more powerful than the ODP MAC cannons. Ignoring that, the Infinity is a fucking hornet's nest of Spartans, ODSTs, Marines, and a whole host of defense turrets and emplacements. At best I could see the Banished sacrificing several vessels just to bring down her shields, and consequently getting slaughtered before they can clear even a few sections of Infinity's interior.
wasn't it four Banished Dreadnoughts that took out the Infinity in a surprise attack when its shields were down? Even if it took "4 minutes" to take out Infinity it required an ambush assault by 4 dreadnoughts to capitalize on the Infinity's more vulnerable state. Infinity was humanity's greatest and finest ship to date, but it's war and the Covenant have lost even bigger ships like the 'Long Night of Silence' during the Fall of Reach battle. That super carrier was 29 km long, the UNSC had nothing in its fleet or numbers to counter it and required a nuclear bomb to go off inside of it to be destroyed. It requires significant things and circumstances to take down monsters of capital ships like the Infinity and 'Long Night of Solace' and they at least go down spectacularly.
I love your videos, keep up the incredible work, much respect to you for the lengths you go for these videos. 343 would really benefit if they hired you.
Dude how are you this smart in all this knowledge? are you a freaking scientist or something IRL who does these videos in his spare time? Honestly I couldn't even understand half of that technobabble and I've got a pretty good grasp of a lot of knowledgeable stuff.
How many hours and narration rough drafts does a heady info dump like this require? Probably something absolutely ridiculous. I have been waiting for this comprehensive and “complete” Infinity breakdown. Albeit, your voice has a borderline monotone property to it, I really enjoy your meticulous gleaning of all the tiny intricacies of the plethora of Halo-verse space vessels coupled with how you expound these details. Keep up the hard work.
Man kind at that time was enjoying the abundance of resources thanks to the discovery and mastery of ion pulse energy that goes beyond nuclear energy and cleaner.
So you don't confuse them with the SCT-4827 "Pulled this s__t outta my A__hole" class 9 lifeboats.. and people think star treks technobable is bad?!🤣 In the Halo universe this letters and numbers crap is so redundant that it's pretentious.
an amazingly in depth review of this beast & thank you for it but it does has me wondering about what the next version of unsc ships will be upon the unsc full investigation of the ancient human ship?
To answer your question, there are anti gravity generators inside of the ship to bring an artificial earth-like gravity of 1G’s. Now I can’t explain the minute details of how they work but I think that’s what they use.
The Banished also gave it a most detailed breakdown.

FANTASTIC JOB BRO! I was working while listening to this, and I was really into it.
Almost two hour breakdown for Infinity. A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
Hell yeah man, epic, thanks for the great, super cut. Awesome watch as I do stuff around the house.
exactly! Thats what I do too!
For the time stamp, go to 5:16
I'm waiting for the UNC to surpass The CSO-Class Supercarrier
In most ways the UNSC Infinity does while only half the size it maximizes its utility. One of the things from a Navy standpoint is that this is one of the few large scale ships that actually makes sense for its size. It's capabilites and mission justify
the infinity is the coolest thing to come out of 343 halo up to this moment.
Did well on the description of materials science and engineering here, couldn’t have said it better myself with my MEng and EngD in materials engineering of aerospace applications 👏🏻
What is the deal with the face at 1:10:16?
I wish we had been shown the demise of this ship. I just can’t believe that the banished were able to destroy it. I know she wasn’t anywhere near full strength but I just think they should have more about it in the lore at least
I personally don't buy the game's story of the infinity being destroyed, much less any of the boarding actions. The infinity is far, far, far more powerful than is represented during cutscenes. Purely by the hardware she is equipped with, the Infinity is arguably ahead of even a CSO class carrier by a fair margin. Hell, her forward MAC cannons are more powerful than the ODP MAC cannons.
Ignoring that, the Infinity is a fucking hornet's nest of Spartans, ODSTs, Marines, and a whole host of defense turrets and emplacements.
At best I could see the Banished sacrificing several vessels just to bring down her shields, and consequently getting slaughtered before they can clear even a few sections of Infinity's interior.
I laughed when you said " by forerunner standards she only classifies as a destroyer" lol
Jesus, a 2 hour video lol
Done went and made a feature length film about the Infinity
Who would win? Humanity’s greatest ship to date or a couple rammy bois?
wasn't it four Banished Dreadnoughts that took out the Infinity in a surprise attack when its shields were down?
Even if it took "4 minutes" to take out Infinity it required an ambush assault by 4 dreadnoughts to capitalize on the Infinity's more vulnerable state.
Infinity was humanity's greatest and finest ship to date, but it's war and the Covenant have lost even bigger ships like the 'Long Night of Silence' during the Fall of Reach battle.
That super carrier was 29 km long, the UNSC had nothing in its fleet or numbers to counter it and required a nuclear bomb to go off inside of it to be destroyed.
It requires significant things and circumstances to take down monsters of capital ships like the Infinity and 'Long Night of Solace' and they at least go down spectacularly.
A giant battering ram with engines driven by space monkeys.
Crazy how one guy knows halo lore better than the company that makes halo.
Anyone who's seen halo infinites opening cutscene knows what I'm talking about^
@@calebfletcher7528 I don’t understand
To quote Johnson “it’s tough but it ain’t invincible.”
I love your videos, keep up the incredible work, much respect to you for the lengths you go for these videos. 343 would really benefit if they hired you.
This guy might become the “next” dr. Halsey
Dude how are you this smart in all this knowledge? are you a freaking scientist or something IRL who does these videos in his spare time? Honestly I couldn't even understand half of that technobabble and I've got a pretty good grasp of a lot of knowledgeable stuff.
Fun fact the Infinity is about the size and Tonnage of Bretai's command ship from SDF Macross.
I've learned more about science from this channel then school
Love it. I feel like im getting my daily fix of material science again!
There was so much potential with the infinity. To just destroy it off screen is crazy.
UNSC Infinity: The Movie
Seriously a dope ass narrative intro!
And I’m supposed to believe it died in under five minutes to 4 ships.
Two hours!? Lemme put the kettle on. This will be a ride. 😍
Thank you for making this!
All of this history, all of it, just for it to be fucking dunked on in Infinite lmao
How many hours and narration rough drafts does a heady info dump like this require? Probably something absolutely ridiculous. I have been waiting for this comprehensive and “complete” Infinity breakdown. Albeit, your voice has a borderline monotone property to it, I really enjoy your meticulous gleaning of all the tiny intricacies of the plethora of Halo-verse space vessels coupled with how you expound these details. Keep up the hard work.
1:10:16 has a...ugh...unsettling image.
Man kind at that time was enjoying the abundance of resources thanks to the discovery and mastery of ion pulse energy that goes beyond nuclear energy and cleaner.
Thank you!
I am also wondering how the lower decks did not get crushed when it crashed on the shieldworld.
It didn't truly crash. It did it's best for a smooth landing...
Breakdown on the Infinitys Breakdown?
The details you talk about are incredible u should do the covenant CSO supper carrier
RCS: travelling through space and mind her business
Infinity: boop...BOOM
1:10:16 why?
there is it!
So you don't confuse them with the SCT-4827 "Pulled this s__t outta my A__hole" class 9 lifeboats..
and people think star treks technobable is bad?!🤣 In the Halo universe this letters and numbers crap is so redundant that it's pretentious.
an amazingly in depth review of this beast & thank you for it but it does has me wondering about what the next version of unsc ships will be upon the unsc full investigation of the ancient human ship?
Supercut video feels a lot like an engineering class lecture I don't mind pay attention to for 2 hours
The Halo Orks decided your purty ship needed some cuddles
I found your little Easter egg you put in the video of someone's face 🤣🤣🤣 was not expecting that
You deserve far more subscribers
I've been looking forward to this
I haven’t watched the first one yet, what’s the difference with the super cut?
Supercut is basically extended version
Could a type of centrifugal forging be used to increase density of a material.
Installation00: "Welcome...to the Infinity..."
Me: "...And beyond..."
you went full nerd out bro....you never go full nerd out
Girlfriend: Your turn to pick what we watch tonight
Me:
Damn man, been away from this channel for a bit. Shit looks really good, even your voice has changed since then
Come for the lore, stay for the titanium alloy lesson
My real question is how did the ship manage to get gravity inside without being a big spinning wheel?
To answer your question, there are anti gravity generators inside of the ship to bring an artificial earth-like gravity of 1G’s. Now I can’t explain the minute details of how they work but I think that’s what they use.
43:36 given that the Mag Lav at Tallahassee produces 45 -90 Tesla and a 120 Tesla magnetic field
