Have you ever looked up
into the stars and wondered if we
were ever going to go there? No, not just space, but to other planets?
See other starts? Live in entirely different galaxies? Some have
already visualized these dreams, and others have shown us their visions.
Even though
science fiction films and television shows have
great action scenes or tear jerking dramas, many productions have
gotten the basic laws of physics either wrong or unrealistic. Viewers
have to force a little suspension of disbelief to begin with, but many
aspects of physics go completely unnoticed or ignored.
