Flint & Genesee Group

Description

While most action movies bend the laws of physics a little under the guise of artistic license others turn an entirely blind eye to science. Join Planetarium manager, Buddy Stark, as he critiques some of the particulary bad science found on the silver screen. From the obvious lack of sound in space, to the subtle misuses of thermodynamics, learning to spot problems in films turns out to be a good way to teach yourself a little science. Admission includes the 7 p.m. showing of Stars: The Powerhouses of the Universe. For more information and a schedule of upcoming Planetarium events visit sloanlongway.org.
