AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the movie "The Core," with participants expressing skepticism about its scientific accuracy and originality. Key points include the film's portrayal of the Earth's core, with questions raised about whether it functions as a "burning furnace" and the implications of NiFe's role in fusion. Participants note the film borrows elements from science fiction literature and criticize its physics, particularly a scene discussing sound wavelength and frequency. The term "unobtainium" is highlighted as a favorite among viewers, while one participant expresses a refusal to pay for the movie, opting instead to watch it for entertainment value under less serious circumstances. Overall, the conversation critiques the film's scientific credibility while acknowledging its entertainment aspects.

Have you watch the movie the core?

what is mysterious with it?
is it a burning furnace ?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
burning? For sure not the core, as NiFe is at the end of the fusion chain.

I saw the film. Usual stuff. A lot of unacknoledged borrows from SF books. Unaccutate physics, but at the expected level. The first scene, where they both speak of changes in wavelength and frequency of sound, was the only one troubling me.

I absolutely refuse to pay money to see that movie. I'll acquire a copy through "other means" and watch it for a laugh one night when I'm drunk.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
