I really appreciate how they didn’t try to use too much bullshit science. One of my biggest complaints with movies or shows is their use of science that is just completely wrong. Xenonite is quite flakey but I think that’s the worst thing

    Gosling's use of an unbalanced centrifuge made me exclaim "No!" aloud, though.

    That one stuck in my craw too! I still loved the movie, but that was just sadly lazy

    Even science majors and grads don't always get it at first.

    I taught students and trained junior researchers during and after grad school. When I'd catch lab assistants doing lopsided centrifuge loads, especially in the big floor-standing centrifuges (I even caught one genius sitting on it to dampen the vibration), we'd take a trip to the physics department for a quick lecture on the amount of energy contained in their spinning samples compared to the amount of energy required for a plastic centrifuge tube to fracture and penetrate a human skull.
