Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies.
Telegraph writer Tom Chiver's first example is from the 1 Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a 2 capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing they didn't have Norton Antivirus,” Chivers 3 .
It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its 4 . Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where 5 beams of light traveling through 6 look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be 7 , which wouldn't look so cool on the big screen.
Chiver's second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the 8 the fighters make in the movies: “the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a 9 to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn't 10 be any sound at all.
