Chapter 482. The Astronomical Fallacy in The Country Teacher

This article originated from an answer to Qhu.

The respondent claimed to be a physics student at an aerospace college.

At first, he just teased, saying that the special effects in the movie are quite good, but the black hole doesn't seem to be too dark.

It's completely clever.

However, this has been seen by some people.

As a result, a film critic from Peanut.com, whose ID is [Science Boundary], stood up.

He graduated from a good science and engineering university in China.

Of course, the profession is finance.

His own profession has nothing to do with astrophysics and the like, his usual hobby is photography, and if photographing the starry sky is also related, then he does often deal with the stars.

In college, he also received some science and engineering subjects.

But after so many years, I've almost forgotten it.

After reading "The Country Teacher", he remembered that Newton's second law was F=ma.

After holding it for two days, he couldn't find a suitable spray spot.

There are some bits and pieces that can be written, but writing them is estimated to be the same as the guy who has been sprayed to cancel his account, picking bones in eggs and nitpicking.

By chance, [Science Boundary] saw that clever screenshot in the group.

He had an idea.

I bought another movie ticket and watched "The Country Teacher" again.

This time, his main focus was on the wonders of the universe.

After watching it, [Science Boundary] walked out of the cinema refreshed, found a café and sat down and began to code words in his notebook.

Soon, he revised this [Astronomical Fallacy in "The Village Teacher"].

According to the usual practice, the article first touted "The Country Teacher", which was full of emotion and made people cry.

This is a commonly used method, and desire to suppress the first to rise.

The higher you hold it, the more it hurts.

After that, the conversation changed, and [Science Boundary] began to write about those wonders of the universe.

The first is miniature black holes.

In the movie, black holes have two modes.

One is a mode that has not yet been exposed to matter and is bound by a force field, in which case there is a faint fluorescence around the black hole.

The other is the appearance of the entire star collapsing and shining after touching the star, in which the black hole is surrounded by swirling fiery material that shines in the void.

[Science Boundary] felt that there was something wrong with this.

He consulted the information (referring to the encyclopedia) and pointed out that black holes are celestial bodies with huge gravitational forces, and even light cannot escape around them, forming an event horizon, so people cannot get any information from black holes at all, and black holes should also be pitch black.

It's not the one that's still fluorescent in the movie.

As for the contact with the star, [Science Boundary] believes that although it should be similar to the movie at first, the star collapses and its matter is sucked into it.

But he felt that the attraction was all-encompassing, and that the entire black hole should be surrounded by a mass of matter until it was completely absorbed.

But in the movie, the black hole is like a halo, not symmetrical, and from all angles, it seems to be the same.

[Science Boundary] thinks it may be that the special effects makers are cutting corners.

In addition to this, [Science Boundary] also interpreted scenarios such as stellar jumps and supernova explosions, and found some areas that he felt were imperfect.

He finally said that "The Country Teacher" is very good as a special effects blockbuster, but it is far from enough to call it a science fiction movie, and he also hopes that everyone will pay more attention to scientific development and not regard the images in the movie as the real world.

The article was quickly posted on Peanut.com, and also on his own Weibo.

Due to the popularity of "The Village Teacher", the article quickly received a lot of dissemination, and even caused great controversy on social media.

A2 Forum Film and Television Zone, below the post of retweeting the article.

[Cat from the African savannah]: I think he has a point, it's like a vortex, the things around the black hole must be spinning towards the black hole, and it is impossible to form that kind of ring-like structure.

[It's too difficult to learn]: And it's asymmetrical, a little brighter on the one hand, and a little darker on the other, which is too weird.

[Incognito because of the handsome]: No one has ever seen a real black hole, how we watch the movie, does this have an impact?

[Moonlight Candlelight]: One thing to say, the special effects of the movie are indeed very good, this kind of texture has never been seen in previous movies, there is a little problem, I think it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt.

[Mirror]: I studied physics in college, I thought about it for a while, and I felt that the black hole model in the movie did not seem to be quite right, probably because the special effects team wanted to ensure the artistic sense of the movie, and the real black hole was definitely not constructed in this way.

[Gray Rainy Season]: I happened to be in the teaching and research department of the school, and I used software to simulate a black hole, and I feel that it is quite different from the movie.

[Magic Old Godmother]: If you want me to say, the black hole must be pitch black, high school physics has said, even the light can't run out, if it's really shiny like in the movie, then wouldn't it be easy to find a black hole in the universe, why do you find all of them now, not even a photo.

[Dog that doesn't eat fish]: Actually, it's nonsense to use what force field can be used to seal the black hole, it's just a movie, there's no need to think too much, it's cool.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the images related to black holes in the movie are indeed a bit contrary to common sense.

But for most people, it's a movie, not a science documentary.

They don't force the special effects produced by Phantom Media to be exactly the same as reality, and there is nothing wrong with a little artistic processing.

If you really want to get entangled, those science fiction movies in the past are all fake.

What beams of sword to wave, shuttling between laser guns, and traveling through time.

There are probably only a handful of extremists who are squirting wildly at this point.

After all, this is the only spray point.

Seeing that although his article was widely circulated, it did not seem to have had any substantial impact on the reputation of "The Village Teacher", so he decided to write another one.

But before he could put pen to paper, he saw a piece of news.

The Beishan Observatory in Ningjiang, in collaboration with five other observatories around the world, spent four days observing a black hole and spent two years finally getting the first picture of a black hole in human history.

The photo will be released globally on September 15.

In an instant, both the article "Country Teacher" and "Science Boundary" became popular again.

People are starting to get curious.

What a real black hole looks like.

Is the image display of "The Village Teacher" that defies common sense correct, or is it just an artistic fabrication?

As the box office continues to rise, September 15 has also arrived.
