Scientists React to The Core

Science fiction, especially in film can be a fun and entertaining ride. But how much of it actually relies on science? NPR‘s Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber and geophysicist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach discuss ‘The Core’.

It’s been 20 years since ‘The Core’ first graced the box offices. That means 20 years for scientists to puzzle over the interesting science Hollywood used in the delightfully ridiculous disaster movie.

Today, Short Wave Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber jumps into that fray with former Western Washington University colleague and geophysicist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach. They discuss what the film gets right and what’s just fun.

Check out their full discussion.
