Movie science is great. They almost always take something the public has heard about and then apply it in a completely random way. Like how almost everything uses mega space shuttles in the future.

I love when movies actually do the science though. Like you know the water planet in Interstellar? They really did the math to make 1 hour=7 years, but the movie explains it wrong.Yep, very familiar.
Yep, very familiar.I only learned about the interstellar fact recently. I knew about Kip Thorne, but I didn't realize he made the black hole spin as the primary way to induce time dilation.
Probably my favorite TV fact ever, is that for an episode of Futurama, the writer actually a math proof for the plotlines behind one of the episodes.

I've been laughing at my own dumb joke for 15 minutes. Maybe my sense of humor is broken, but I haven't felt this alive in a while.Still find it funny rofl

That's a funny mistake to make. The sun shield is probably the most well known element of the telescope at the moment.
Neil deGrasse Tyson makes a bad error about the JWST.
He claims here that JWST is orbiting at L2 in Earth's shadow and that it protects the instruments from the sun.
JWST is not orbiting at L2, it's orbiting around L2, and is in fact never in Earth's shadow.

I feel like I've been seeing a lot more Neil deGrasse Tyson making more bad takes lately.He's run out of things to say, so now his only options are repeats or things not worth saying.

I always find it a little interesting when people think they understand light.I don't understand what you mean with the mirror one. Like I think I actually do, but there can't be people that don't understand that right?
There are plenty of lighting conditions in real life that don't look the way most people would expect.
I think people really underestimate how much light bounces around and how much the color can be affected by these things.
If you look in an angle towards a mirror, you can see things that are not being shown to the mirror. If you hold your hand up to the mirror, you are able to see the back of your hand in the mirror.
I remember someone was using that as evidence for something because they were certain that it was impossible.
And some of these people, I think are reasonably knowledgeable.

I don't understand what you mean with the mirror one. Like I think I actually do, but there can't be people that don't understand that right?Maybe a better way to explain it.
On a similar note I think the same thing every time a movie has a character look at themselves in the mirror. Movies often cheat and in real life the person isn't looking at their reflection.
Maybe a better way to explain it.Here's another one I was just reminded of.
If you try to hide something from a mirror, it's usually not that hard to find an angle where you can see that thing.
Like if you're holding your phone in your hand, there are still quite a few angles of your phone where there isn't a direct line from your phone to the mirror.
And yes, there are people that don't seem to get that.

Science communication is always really interesting. Trying to dumb things down while simultaneously intriguing the viewer.
I love these.
