Completely Useless Information
« on: April 07, 2008, 12:17:49 AM »
But hey, it made me smile to know that while I'm sitting there in the theatre thinking, "That can't actually happen." I'm right!

Physics in the Realm of Hollywoodland

If you have any others to add, please do! I just couldn't think of any right now.

I like to think that in the future some scientists overhauled physics so that they could hear space lasers. The sound is just so neat!

Stargate poked fun at itself for those kinds of things, so it's cool.

There's also no exlosions in space. You need oxygen and then with the fire = impossible.

My bad. I was thinking that what the Sun and all those stars are doing was BURNING; but apparently I'm mistaken.

You are aware that human ships would have to contain O2 ?

And some materials can burn in an oxygen free environment by making their own in the reaction.

You're all idiots.  It's clear that they broadcast the engine noises over the ships' radios.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

You mean the Hindenburg (sp?) went up like that because of the oxygen in the air around it?  Holy shit, we should totally tell someone about that because history (read, the experts) has got that all kinds of wrong.
