This chapter pokes fun at the misconceptions of the media industry. From a tender age, you have been exposed to the cinema film director's concepts of dynamics - and so many of them are wrong! When a ‘starfighter’ banks, it is shown zooming away in a curve. But Newton’s laws tell you that you have to fire a jet perpendicular to the path if you want to change its line. The star-ship ‘Enterprise’ is shown with the unfortunate property that if its engines fail, its orbit will decay rapidly. But it is only the satellites that are in an orbit so low that air drag takes effect that need have any worry. It is not only the fiction writers who are to blame. Many documentaries have blunders that are far less forgivable. If the orbit of a satellite starts to decay, it can be boosted into a higher orbit by propelling it to a higher velocity. A UK documentary showed the jets propelling the satellite straight up. Is this really the correct answer? Some literary critics hail Jules Verne as a scientific genius. But his books are full of mathematical and engineering howlers. Jules Verne has the excuse of having written his books long ago, but the same cannot be said for the perpetrators of the film ‘Gravity’ that breaks almost every kinetic law in the book. When it comes to the mythology that surrounds ‘black holes’ all common sense is lost. Every newsreader seems to report that black holes are sucking everything in like a giant vacuum cleaner, while other writers see them as the ends of wormholes.
