Rocked to the Core…
September 29, 2008
Where to begin…
1. First of all, the professor wrote WAY too neatly on the chalk bored, and also everybody knows that scientists are NOT artists.
2. Besides that, would a bird really crack the windshield of car? Birds are relatively light, would they really have the momentum to break a windshield that is designed to withstand much heavier objects.
3. The magnetic field does NOT protect us against microwaves.
4. When the laser drills through the dirt, where does all the dirt go?
5. One word…Unobtainium
6. IF the rays can penetrate lead, shouldn’t they cause immediate cancer in the dude walking behind the lead?
7. I think it is stereotypical of the movie to show Europeans watching soccer.
8. Stone does not conduct electricity that well. And why would the lightning carve the street; wouldn’t the lightning at least strike the tall buildings. I am sure some have metal antennas.
9. There was the masterpiece scene in which they struggled against the unknown force during freefall when they should havebeem weightless.
10. It seems very unlikely that microwaves could destroy the Golden Gate Bridge and most of San Francisco.
11. Would those heat suits even work?
12. Would those giant crystals in the geode shatter that easily, they aren’t rock candy.
13. Unless my knowledge of air conditioning is highly mistaken, wouldn’t it be impossible to thoroughly cool the air in that ship?
14. Why would you trust autopilot on the first journey to the center of the Earth?
15. IF DESTINY stopped it the first time without all the volcanoes erupting, shouldn’t they try it again first before sending all those people down to the depths.
16. Don’t the fuel rods have to be Part of the mass of the bomb in order to contribute to the bomb?
17. And how are they communicating through miles of rock. Secondly, wouldn’t there be just a little bit of delay in the transmission.
I had a couple more than this but I couldn’t read my handwriting…no big loss.

That’s bad if you can’t read your handwriting. Anyway, good catch on the communicating through miles of rock. As for communication delays, if they’re communicating through EM radiation (radio waves or microwaves) then there would be no noticeable delay (light can circle the globe 7 times in a second). If they’re communicating through some sort of sound wave (sonar) then there would be a delay (plus it probably wouldn’t work well with the amount of noise they’d be creating drilling through solid rock.
