Hello, Hope you're all having a great day so far. I decided to ask a unique question about the film we all saw here for 2 reasons... The first is I have not seen that anyone else here has asked it and if someone could point me to any thread where anyone else did that would be great. If Not...here's my question... The 2nd is, it has been driving me bat sh** and is stuck in the back of my brain like that time YOU struck out at "T-Ball". LOL... I call them "Ressonance Hollograms". TWICE, at least, in this film, David activates what appear to be Holographic "Resonance Memories" of the Space Jockey's Past Physical Actions On Board the Derelict Ship. One time, while David8 is holding the Holographic sphere of EARTH, it seems like all the POWER just immediately DRAINS from the Whole "Sparkling Holographic Orgasm" and then in an instant everything just collapses on itself and goes dark to the pulse of the lone SJ in stasus. What the heck are "Holographic Resonance Memories" and is that even scientifically possible? & Could someone explain to me what was actually going on with that whole star chart Holographic MEMORY Resonance...why were we shown that? Why was it important we saw it, so we could wonder about what the SJ's were doing with those Holograms or was there some meaning and purpose in them {there must have been} that I might have and "prolly" missed? ALL of the crew saw the Holograms of the SJ's fleeing in the tunnels {were "prolly" running from a Deacon, or whatever it was it burst out of one of them that's for sure} so something about the whole process of it and what we were actually seeing needs explaining for me...Help...lol... any help in this regard would be great! Most importantly, after you explain how it is possible...why did it suddenly "shut off"...at the very moment and in the very way it did.

@Jim100a100, Thanks man, a lot, in fact it got me thinking that yea he held it up, and just to access it I think he needed to hit the right notes on that flute which I guess is how the Flight Recorder thingy gets initiated. @Deftones 1986, If your ever in any of my threads for enough time you will see that anything goes and I really don't mind if you don't.

actually he did not need to hit the flute when he triggered the Jockeys Running in the tunnel, he must of done something while we were looking at his back in that scene...amazing discovery IMO. never even occurred to me but has to be now...no...? He had to have done something to trigger the playback in the Tunnel no?

My first post, this might be a stretch, but the holograms sound a lot like Morphic Resonance, the idea that memories are not necessarily stored in cells in the brain but out there in 3D space, somewhat like radio waves. A person who believes he was someone else in a previous life is just tuning into a Memory Field that has a similar resonance or frequency. There's a scene in A.I. When the advanced robots show up and mention something about information fields just before allowing David a visit with his Mommy, or facsimile thereof.

"....Holographic "Resonance Memories" of the Space Jockey's Past Physical Actions On Board .." Why was there so few of the scenes holographic scenes presented? And why that particular sequence leading up the headless Engineer? Selected by David? Someone else? .... Someone (NCIS's Jethro I think) said there is no such thing as 'coincidence' and kept the investigative team digging for facts.. Sort of what we do here,,,but at a distance of a few lightyears..

Sorry, I'm just trippin' on David8 in his bigboy seat pressing his marshmallow buttons and blowing access codas on his little Monaulos or flute. What a genius moment that was, like a happy kid in a toy shop.

"..Holographic MEMORY Resonance." Yes.. I enjoyed the movie scenes with"Holographic MEMORY Resonance" very effective in the way it was presented.. While watching a CSI episode they have been doing some think this when trying to reconstruct a crime..... So the I guess I have seen something like this in other entertainment media. Now If there was way to make our memories perform as they did in the movie,,that would get my attention.

Im wondering if the holograms were a message waiting to be triggered-a bit like the pictures in the caves on Earth-maybe a trap or for some other purpose- the running SJ holograms lead us towards the urns and maybe the star map hologram triggered the in stassis sleeping SJ . It just seems weird that only certain holograms appeared at certain times ...when David was trying to unlock things

Why do the hoograms even exists? It wopuld have to be a continuous recording or perhaps a motion activated system. To that sort of sets up an alrm. If the brief walking about in the Big Head room triggers such dramatic response in the atmosphere(and eventually urns) then some sensing sytem but have captured our crew arrivial, followed their walks around and informed soem off-moon central clearing house about the Prometheus intruders. THis homeworld is now alerted. Seeing two Juggernauts trying to leavr the Moon must have set off major alarms in the Engineer's world. I don't by the line of tghinking that it is a forgotten outpost just wastiong away. I do think that an alerted homeword will have a special greeting for two crew members when they arrive in a Juggernaut.

if you think about it its a more efficient idea than regular cctv if a camera catches an incident from a poor angle you cant find out as much as if the whole event in 3D is played out in the exact environment it was captured from to be viewed from any given angle how it would be captured well i imagine there must be multiple recording devices, as for why the replay suddenly ended i agree with zz the record ended when bob settled down to sleep maybe he shut down everything except life support systems

".. the record ended when bob settled down to sleep maybe he shut down everything except life support systems .." And what a dramatic ending if the storyline about escaping xeno/goo. THat would mean Bob was indeed in chargd not expecting anyone til his relief showed up. THat would sort of explaing his reaction of being bit confused and kncking the old man(Weyland) down. He was sorting things out and everybody he saw was below his rank. He wass in charge of this installation(at least his Juggernaut) and assumed everybody was or would be working for him. zz.. I ll need to read over your notes on this subject.
