13 Introduction Do you relish science fiction films but do not have quite the same feeling about science? If so, this book was written with you in mind. We, the authors, are college professors who also happen to love science fiction films. Because of our scientific expertise, we can get even more enjoyment from screening science fiction films than the average viewer because we understand what is possible or what is truly out of this world in the universes portrayed on film. After reading this book and working through the exercises at the end of each chapter, you will get more out of screening science fiction films you will have a deeper understanding of the scientific principles presented in the films and probably a new respect for those filmmakers who depict science fiction that is close to science fact. The goal of this book is to provide basic physics and biology instruction, using scenes from science fiction films as examples of the concepts discussed. Your instructor will most likely use clips from the films to illustrate a scientific principle, and you will probably find that seeing a portrayal of a scientific principle (or of a principle s violation) helps you to understand a concept better than more traditional methods of classroom instruction. Furthermore, by watching films you will get a better feel for how different fields of science interact rarely does a film deal with physics only and not for example, biology, astronomy, or the social sciences. We hope that you will come to enjoy both science and science fiction films as much as we do. (Even if you have to forgo the popcorn!) How to Use This Textbook In the Contents we list the page numbers of films discussed in the textbook. Films are also listed in the index. This book is divided into three sections. The first section discusses basic physics and astronomy for nonscience majors. The second is devoted to selected topics in biology. The third section of this book gives detailed plot descriptions of 42 films which are referenced in the physics and/or biology sections. The first 16 of these films also have sections describing relevant science fiction literature, which may be used in conjunction with a given film and the related physics, astronomy, or biology material. At each point in the physics/astronomy section at which a film is introduced to illustrate a concept or its violation, the running time is given at which the refxv
14 xvi Introduction erenced segment of that film begins. For example, in Chapter One, The Andromeda Strain is referenced. The introduction to the film segment describing the attempt to determine the size of the alien organism is followed by (69 min). This means that the film segment starts 69 min after the film commences. One can precisely locate the starting point of a given film segment by using a VCR or DVD player that indicates the running time of the film at any point on the tape. Alternatively, one can estimate the position on the tape at which the segment commences by taking the ratio of the running time at which the segment commences to the total running time of the film. For example, if the segment commences at 60 min and the running time of the entire film is 120 min, one needs to fast forward the tape until 50% of it has elapsed. In the biology section, the films utilized normally relate to a number of biological topics. These films are therefore introduced at the conclusion of each chapter rather than appearing throughout the chapter. Running times are usually not given for film segments since several segments of the film are often related to the material in the chapter. A number of exercises and discussion questions are presented at the end of each chapter. Many of the films are used in both the physics/astronomy section and the biology section. These films demonstrate the inherent interdisciplinary nature of science. Readers who are interested in any updates of the book for new films should periodically check the Springer Web catalog entry for the book.
