Derived from an entirely different set of films, from the “Wizard of Oz” to “Mary Poppins” to “2001: A Space Odyssey” to Harry Potter. An entertaining and enlightening review of all the science that our favorite movies got wrong, combined with some of the stuff they got right. Incorporates the latest films as well as some classics that you may not have known had any science in them at all.
Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, author and science communicator. Tyson studied at Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin and Columbia University.
