STEAMboat E8: Flying buses, superhuman strength, invisible people: Where's the Physics?

Date: 12 June, 2022
Time: 11:00 - 12:00

Venue: Online Meeting/Video Conferencing

Coordinator: STEAMboat Team

Next #STEAMboat session is on Sunday, June 12, at 11 AM IST. Join Shirish as he shows us the Physics in movies! The talk will be in Marathi. See you on Zoom or YT.

About the talk:

We all watch and enjoy movies. People achieve far-fetched feats and cars jump from one place to another in an unrealistic fashion, and let us be honest- we all enjoy it and may also believe a part of it to be true! Some of these movie scenes cross the valid boundaries of science and show us many unbelievable events. In this session, we will try to break down some movie scenes, do some quick calculations and check whether they follow the rules of physics. So let’s together explore the world of movies and science, in this #STEAMboat session!
