that's a super dumb movie but i liked it

the part that annoys me the most is the physics lecture. can't find it on youtube but it's like

"well, what happens is, you have these palladium electrodes, and the deuterium gets in there, and it gets packed closer and closer and closer together, and then, the atoms are all in there, and...they fuse!"

and this is supposed to be a brilliant postdoc lecturing to a bunch of physics phd candidates at oxford

well actually also the part where she's trying to figure out the formula for cold fusion is also real dumb. she has like eight post-it notes with different equations on them which she hides in her bra and now and then she pulls them out and rearranges them on the table like dominoes because she's "almost figured it out" and just needs to put them in the right order, apparently.

just remembered this

quote:

Jack Hall: [On Sam failing calculus] I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.
Sam: Do you wanna hear my side of it?
Jack Hall: Sam, how can there be two sides?
Sam: Hey, look, I got every question right on the final and the only reason why Mr. Spengler failed me was because I didn't write out the solutions.
Jack: Why not?
Sam: I do them in my head.
Jack Hall: Did you tell him that?
Sam: I did. He didn't believe me. He said that if he can't do them in his head then I must be cheating.
Jack Hall: Well, that's ridiculous! How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?
Sam: That's what I said.
Jack Hall: You did? [Smirks] How'd he take it?
Sam: He flunked me, remember?

buhhh duhhhh math is smart. none of this poo poo is hard, the professor could probably do the work in his head and Sam is an idiot for missing the point

chris nolan hired some real scientists for interstellar, and apparently the representation of the black hole and the visual distortion as they enter it is the most accurate rendition of one ever produced, at least with our current knowledge of physics

too bad he had to gently caress it all up at the end with the whole "the secret to time-travel is LOVE" horseshit

bad student, who doesn't get the point of the exercise
bad professor, who doesn't conduct an experiment ("do this one in your head right now") and carry out the appropriate action (fail him if he's cheating, point him towards advanced study if he's a genius)

overall i am just really disappointed with the way that scientific rigor was portrayed in The Day After Tomorrow

i thought that was the movie where marky mark demonstrates to his geology class how sound waves travel at different speeds through different type of rock by playing out-of-tune notes on his trumpet at a block of stone sitting on the desk

i liked the part where they had to drop the driller train thing from an oil platform into the marianas trench, the deepest part of the ocean where the crust is the thinnest

because the extra five miles or so that you save by starting there instead of in some salt lake in nevada totally makes the difference when you are drilling another

that scene in the day after tomorrow made me super duper angry forever

if youve ever studied math you know that the point of the math test is to write out the method

if he is doing this poo poo in his head that's dope, write it all the gently caress down because THAT IS THE POINT OF THE EXAM YOU IDIOT THE PROFESSOR KNOWS THE loving ANSWERS ALREADYT

at least they got the beginning sort of right. the shuttle doesn't turn sideways to fire the re-entry burn (it flips end over end) but they did acknowledge that it doesn't just point the nose down and fly in

anyway it sure would have been nice if los angeles had any long runways available anywhere in the city, so that they wouldn't have to land in the river

oh well. maybe someday they can build one
