There are those moments in many sci-fi or action movies & TV shows when something happens that causes me to just shake my head, or even laugh. This isn't just ships moving through space with a "woosh" sound I'm talking about, I mean plot contrivances that completely violate the laws of physics. From Armageddon to The Core and the Tom Cruise/Stephen Spielberg version of The War of the Worlds, there enough examples out there to give Albert Einstein a splitting headache.Two of the best places to go to on the Web for review of the bad science on display in major movies are: Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy and Intuitor's Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics.
