" They are known by the fact that some technologies presented there later became a reality, although others still remain only fantastic. For example, this applies to the technology of the warp engine, with which comic ships can move through the space faster than the speed of light. Some scientists believe that someday humanity will be able to create such engines. At the same time, most science fiction films do not show the real physics that exists in the universe. One mistake in the film "

In this film, the main villain named Tolian Soran, launches a rocket into a local star, trying to get into another dimension called Nexus. This is not that binning Tinker. Although there is no evidence so far that there are additional measurements, nevertheless, physicists are considering such a probability. What concerned the scientist was the physics of the missile attack itself and its influence on the star.

According to Tinker, the first problem is how quickly the rocket reaches a star. If we assume that the star was at about the same distance from the planet from which a missile blow was delivered, as the Earth from the Sun, then the speed of the missile does not correspond to real physics.

In order for the radiation of the sun to reach the earth, you need about 10 minutes, because the light flies at the speed of light. But the rocket in the film reached a star in just a few seconds. Although the Tinker says that if the film has a warp pobper that allows you to move faster than the speed of light, then let there be a rocket that violates the laws of physics.

But most of all, Tinker does not like the moment in the film, which is shown incorrectly. When the rocket crashes into a star and stops the production of energy in the nucleus, the heroes of the film see how the star immediately becomes very dull.

But in fact, this cannot be. According to the physicist, even if you could stop the thermonuclear synthesis in the nucleus of the star, you would not notice this on the surface of the star, at least for a very long time. The fact is that photons, particles of light, requires almost 30,000 years to go from the point where they are created in the nucleus of the star, before they reach its surface and become visible in the form of radiation.

The film also shows how the star expands and absorbs the planet in a matter of moments after applying a missile strike, again violating the rules of physics.

In this case, according to Tinker, such phenomena really occur. If the star stops thermonuclear synthesis, and therefore the production of energy to maintain its life, then the core is compressed, and the outer part of the star expands. Then she squeezes. After that, an explosion of supernova. But only very massive stars die and this process does not happen very quickly.

As Focus already wrote, an astrophotograph created the perfect image of the parade of the solar system planets. The composite image shows six planets near the moon, which gives a rare opportunity to compare their size, how they are visible from the ground.

Focus also wrote that scientists first discovered an elusive neutrino particle, which has the largest energy among previously discovered such elementary particles. Physicists believe that either a black hole or radiation that arose shortly after a large explosion is involved in the creation of this particle.
