A physicist will be on the Screen Savers tomorrow discussing the physics of the newest Matrix movie.

Or lack thereof.

Most likely the absense of real physics. Either way, it should be interesting to see.

Well it is based in a computer world, though the real world stuff should be good.

I think philosphy is more the films strong point.

What the hell is the point of discussing physics in a virtual world?!

That'd be like analyzing the physics of a Roadrunner cartoon!

Or Star Trek, oh wait...

Hey! Gravity works in a RoadRunner cartoon!*



but only on Wile E Coyote.

And only when he looks down.

So the RoadRunner is only affected by physics if he chooses to acknowledge it. Maybe the RoadRunner is a previous incarnation of the One.

Actually the Road Runner just seems to have enough momentum to keep going past a gap before gravity pulls him done.

The coyote on the other hand isn't affected by physics until he notices it. Wile E. Coyote is the previous incarnation of the one. The really craptacular one.

My high school physics teacher had an extra credit project that involved the class watching a Road Runner cartoon and writing down all the violations of the laws of physics taking place.

The Screen Savers. It's a show on TechTV that comes on around 7pm.
