I’m struggling with our new directive to write more straightforward headlines. Is this one clear enough? Is it too simplified? Probably. But that’s okay, because folks like UT Dallas’ Joe Izen (physics prof) are using the movie’s plot (it’s about anti-matter and such) as reason to hold public lectures and counter the bad science in the film. The Chronicle of Higher Education has a story about it featuring Izen (subscription only), who gave a lecture last week attended by about 150 people. These sessions are designed to, among other things, allay fears about black holes swallowing the Earth. Which is absurd. We all know, as proven at 1:43 of this video, that black holes are for time travel. (H/T: Meredith at UTD.)
