I just noticed that david8 video in official stream is slightly better quality, than when we download it

your absolutely right on this, and I think they will slightly up the resolution on this thing until we can read that barcode. I spent a while 'shopping it yesterday and I'm still convinced it's alphanumeric

 		Did they improve the quality recently (i.e. potentially in response to our failings) or was it just that we didn't use that version at the time?

 		Another Gliese 581 thing is that the timeline states that 'Weyland creates new 5.56 millimeter round made of metals mined from the circumstellar habitable zone planets orbiting within Gliese 581 capable of traveling at max velocity in any atmosphere at any range' for July 4th 2033.

This is an oddity as on May 20th 2032 Weyland discovers FTL travel, and the first FTL ship is built on January 17th 2034.

Thought this was a mistake at first, but could be a clue?

Sorry bud; they patented the 'Hypersleep Chambers' in July 2030 "enabling unprecedented discovery."

No relation between the two. Weyland and co. would go to Gliese 581 system with older technology, maybe not faster than light, but they'd still get there, and find stuff to mine.

I'm more intrigued by the first Europa mission, what kind of "simple life" was found then that was'nt worth giving specifics about.

Also those patent numbers... they don't say what number the one he got when he was 14 was.
I find it weird, after a certain date, it suddently becomes important giving us the patent number, seems like quite an unnecessary detail. Could be just red herrings, ofc.

Also, it's probablyu been noticed many times, but.. I love how the "Spectagraph" entry, we see in action in the trailer (red lasers-emitting floating balls)

Can they send you back 40 years in time too these Hypersleep Chambers?

Gliese 581 is 20.3 light years away.

Gliese 581 is 20 light years away. Even travelling at the speed of light, that's 40 years travel time for a round trip.

Which would mean they would have had to have left in 1992.

Does that ring a bell?


Yeah, I already mentioned the Libra/Gliese 581 thing. Might wanna start to work together on this.


Oops, I should've paid more attention. Sorry about that.
Moving on, I thought I'd compare the planets mentioned in the timeline to those in this list, the problem is that the Gliese 581 aren't mentioned so it's a bit "inaccurate"; then again the info on the Kepler Mission is too technical to follow, and it mostly displays the huge chunk of planets found, unfiltered (and those are thousands). All we know so far is that there are 63 colonies, leaving out two planets in particular: LV-426 (it hasn't been explored yet by the time of this film) and the new one where Prometheus should be heading to.
Epsilon Eridanus, to me, is still a big candidate for the planet of this film judging by the star map, but that doesn't lead us to a clue yet.

Edit: Just a thought: do we have a clear view on which star Shaw's boyfriend points to when he touches the holographic map, and the constellations appear?

 		FYI Peter_Weyland just tweeted

Don't know if that's a bone or just banter though. Just tossing it in the brain storm

 		So are we assuming it's an error? Seems odd considering the effort they put in. If not, what could it mean? Confused It's so far off that it kind of breaks the whole thing.

 		Ok, so after following this for the last two weeks, I finally feel I should try to help out. There is no telling what direction this password thing is going in, but I'm gonna throw out another idea. I feel like the **WEYLAND call seemed to be directing us back to the David 8 video. After watching the video several times, one glaring detail that caught my eye every time was the '8' was upside down. after looking at the style of the David signature it seemed possible that perhaps it spells something or are different characters when flipped. For instance, when you flip it, it looks like -C!^e4 or something. -C! seems to be a math equation of some sort (google calculator pops up as the only result when searching). It seemed like a possible lead, idk.

 		Guys...

We're 100% on the right track with Eridu.

 		Seems a bit of a schoolboy error if it is a mistake.

Another thing i noticed - the posts that I have read here and elsewhere seem to think that Peter Weyland is alive in the timeframe of the film (2083 - based on 50 years since the TED talk); however on the timeline:

Quote:
Sir Peter Weyland Memorial Library built in Washington, DC.
JUNE 23, 2065


Seems odd to build a Memorial Library to him if he's still alive...

I tried this earlier because of the 8 but thought it kind of looked the same!
