Check Out BAD Science In Movies
December 28, 2010RamaNo CommentsBad Science In Movies

Sci-fi movies don’t usually follow the rules of physics and science, that’s just how it is, because if they did, those movies wouldn’t be as entertaining. Let’s face it, there wouldn’t be much you could do in a soundless space and on planets that don’t have gravity like earth’s, it would be a boring movie.
Check out the report card below, via io9, that shows 18 movies and the science laws that they’ve broken. Star Wars franchise has broken almost all of them..
* There’s no sound in space
* Not all planets have Earth gravity
* Planets should have diverse climates, instead of one unified climate across a “desert planet” or “forest planet.”
* It shouldn’t be too easy to communicate with alien creatures, without some kind of high-technology “translator” explanation.
* And it definitely shouldn’t be too easy for humans to interbreed with aliens.
* Humans exposed to vacuum without a spacesuit shouldn’t explode or shatter. And a “hull breach” where the ship’s crew is exposed to vacuum should kill everyone instantly.
* You can’t have fires in space, unless there’s oxygen leaking out somehow.
* Asteroids or other objects shouldn’t be able to float close together without falling into each other’s gravity
* People shouldn’t be able to dodge lasers and other speed-of-light weapons
* And there’s no reason why someone would move in slow-motion in zero gravity.
* Faster-than-light travel is probably not ever going to be possible.
