There's a fun discussion on the bad physics in a TV commercial.
One can argue on what is the big deal about something like this. After all, we see bad physics in TV and movies very often. Well, this isn't a big deal at all. It is just a fun exercise, even for students, to practice their knowledge on simple kinematics. But on the other hand, considering that physics-based games such as Angry Birds, Where's My Water, etc. are trying to get as close to being physics-accurate, there's very little reason (other than pure fiction or pure fantasy) to completely blow away all kinds of reality.

ReplyDeleteA must read if you want to feel completely mind blown about the ignorance of the community at large when it comes to basic physics. Featured on the daily dish ( to whom I also emailed with an explanation of the fundamental difference between light and sound...)
