but nowhere in any of those rumours does it say that holograph is on earth. it could be anywhere and of anything. so just my opinion but there's nothing to object to at this moment!.
and you infered it by what you said about it being designed to show humans something, but anyway, even if that is on earth it may still be depicting another system in another galaxy, we have no idea of its context at all yet, and im quite sure ridley wont be stupid enough to get our own solar system wrong!
thanks

Rich, with all due respect, you are missing the "science" behind this position. Any map, AND ESPECIALLY a map meant to explain coordinates/direction/destination to an alien race, you need to use a known point of reference. If the Space Jockey race was leaving "clues" for humanity to follow, it's map would be based upon some point of reference, which would be easily understood by humanity. The obvious point of "reference" would be Sol (our Sun). Without a point of reference, from which humanity could make associations from, the map could represent ANY arbitrary stellar system. Why is this so hard to understand?
touche, and with all due respect to you my good sir, i am NOT missing any science at all, you keep infering that this is there to explain their directions to humans when that is NOT established whatsoever, from what i can gather from the trailers and rumours i think this is on another planet, rumour is that theres a dig on another planet too. so again you keep jumping to the conclusion that this map is there to show humans the way to something when that may not be the case at all, they may just stumble across this by accident and it could be to show jockeys where to go, it may be part of the rumoured telescope/star plotting system. this could be found on another planet in the universe that the humans reach first that then leads to another planet so the point of reference may be on there for all you know.... how is that so hard to understand?.....
another point is that all these rooms appear to be connected and the actors are alll wearing suits in these areas which would suggest they are not on earth, ive never heard of anyone needing such helmets on earth apart from divers or certain pilots and they dont appear to be under water or flying an sr71 blackbird...
once again, i am certain that ridley is not stupid enough to make such an amateur mistake on what would be an important plot point, and also there's a million and one rumours on this movie, i take all with a huge pinch of salt until they're either verified or dismissed by facts.
btw, i am reasonably well versed in science and scientific method... making assumptions and jumping to conclusions is not exactly what i would deem as critical thinking...
thanks
