科學的不同分支在許多電影中都扮演了重要的角色。但是有一個類別經常被忽視:能源來源,即使主要電影的情節和轉折點都取決於此。 中國綜合症(簡·方達,傑克·萊蒙主演)中潛在的核反應堆熔燬的可能性有多大?動畫機器人WALL-E(本·貝爾特配音)用他的太陽能電池板給自己充電的速度有多快,以及是什麼似乎給了他最終的機器人愛人,嬌小的伊娃(艾麗莎·奈特配音)強大且看似無限的力量?其他值得考慮的電影包括:巨人怪獸公司礦工的女兒,當然還有回到未來及其鈽動力時間機器。

 

電影中對能源的描繪從非常準確到鬆散再到完全荒謬,各種各樣。 有興趣嗎?3月9日星期三,德克薩斯大學將舉辦一個關於電影中能源的娛樂講座,內容包括影片片段,您可以在ScientificAmerican.com上觀看整個活動的直播
