Don't you just hate when films aren't scientifically accurate?

[1funnygame]

I'm fine with the almost required stuff for a film to work like warp drive and I'm also fine if they do it for experience related stuff like sound in space but when they constantly make up bullshit science that the entire movie rotates around it seriously bugs me and I don't walk away thinking of plot but the awful science

Are you even reading my posts?

 

This is an oreo, it is Sci-Fi, it has both science and fiction. It has cream and cookie.

 

This is "Sci-Fi" with a slight issue, what the hell m8

 

sorry man, I was extremely tired yesterday because lack of sleep so it might have been that I wasnt fully paying attention  :unsure:

Oh I remember a great one now! 

 

There was a film I watched called The Core. It was about how the Earth's core stopped turning and things were really going out of control with the magnetic field and incoming solar radiation.

 

So there was this scene:

We've got stone doing what looks like conducting electricity and producing light, statues being blown up by lightning and people still running when there are lightning bolts 2 metres away from them that would have burnt them to cinders, electrocuting them and knocking back anyone in the nearby radius.

 

Then there's another clip that I can't find on youtube... They get to the core and manage to restart it by blowing it up with nuclear bombs. But they run out of power to get away from the explosion. So the guy comes up with the idea that because the ship's hull has absorbed the heat of the molten iron, it contains a lot of energy, which is true. However he then deduces that they can use that power to provide ELECTRICITY to the ship by WELDING the copper power cables to the hull.

The first time i watched it i just thought.. Well that doesn't sound right

And later Dara O Briain did a hillarious bit about it in his "This is the show" stand up routine

 

 

That's not just in anime.. The fast and the furious comes to mind..

I'm inclined to think that this maybe a vex generally only felt by people of our particular disposition... those that are inclined not to go around blinkered as to the mechanics of reality. For the general populace however, and the reason that this material is as successful as it is, the science is generally lost on them.

 

I don't know about any of you but I for one cannot bring up anything about my interests or professional life around any of my family (with the exception of my partner and children). It simply elicits glazed or otherwise vacant staring and the occasional snore. I recall a particular instance I attempted to talk to my sister about the Eridanus Supervoid or the Great Attractor, she simply thought I was talking about a 'great big tractor'.
