Hollywood Science

The creators of the television series and films, dreaming of making a lasting impression on the audience, often include miracles of technical thought in their films. The appearance in the 80s of the unique car K. I. T. T. in the series “Knight Rider” with a talking on-board computer in those days seemed something out of the ordinary. Remember the impressive spy arsenal of James Bond and his Aston Martin in each new movie amazing with technical perfection. And the incredible vehicles in science fiction films?

But where does the film industry draw the fine line between spectacular stunt and the real possibility of seemingly incredible technology? Do filmmakers always take into account the laws of physics, what tricks they resort to in order to achieve plausibility, and what mistakes they make in doing so. This series will tell you this very honestly and scientifically evidence-based.
