You\u2019ll learn about making radios out of coconuts (Gilligan\u2019s Island), alcohol as a fuel source (Futurama), the physics limitations to\u00a0Iron Man\u2019s power sources and whether\u00a0Superman\u00a0should be able to gain strength from our yellow Sun, but grow weaker under the influence of Krypton\u2019s red one. Explore the science in movies like\u00a0The Abyss, Deep Impact, Prometheus, WALL-E, Dune, and Disney\u2019s\u00a0The Black Hole. Plus Neil discusses the idea that the universe is a holographic projection, describes his favorite sci-fi (including\u00a0Contact\u00a0and\u00a0The Matrix) and geeks out over whether Superman could beat Captain James T.
