Homework Statement
i am trying to find some bad physics in this movie and i can't seem to find any
Why is this considered to be poor physics
what law did it break
One example is the way the Spinosaurus is able to knock a plane out of the air with its tail. This would not be physically possible as the tail is not strong enough to produce enough force to take down a plane. Another example is the scene where the characters are able to outrun a stampeding herd of dinosaurs. In reality, humans would not be able to outrun dinosaurs as they were much faster and had better endurance.
Jurassic Park III ignores the basic laws of nature in several ways. One major example is the way the dinosaurs are able to breed and reproduce on an island without any intervention from humans. In reality, it would be difficult for a small population of dinosaurs to survive and reproduce without proper resources and protection. Additionally, the movie shows the dinosaurs coexisting with each other peacefully, whereas in reality, different species would compete for resources and territory.
While Jurassic Park III takes many liberties with science and physics, there are some accurate elements in the movie. The basic concept of cloning and genetic engineering is based on real scientific principles. Additionally, the dinosaurs in the movie are modeled after real-life species and their behavior and physical attributes are based on scientific research.
The portrayal of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park III differs from our current understanding in several ways. Firstly, the movie depicts the velociraptor as being much larger than it actually was. In reality, they were about the size of a turkey, not the size of a human as shown in the movie. Additionally, the movie shows the Spinosaurus as being able to swim and hunt in water, whereas current research suggests it was primarily a land-dwelling dinosaur.
The inaccurate science in Jurassic Park III can lead to misconceptions and misunderstandings about dinosaurs. It may perpetuate the idea that dinosaurs were all gigantic, aggressive creatures when in reality, they were diverse in size and behavior. It may also lead to confusion about the capabilities and limitations of genetic engineering and cloning. It's important for the public to understand that while the movie is entertaining, it does not accurately reflect the scientific knowledge we have about dinosaurs.
