What does Hollywood get wrong about physics?

The director of this year's biggest sci-fi blockbuster, Project Hail Mary, did a great job of getting opinions from real scientists during production, but most filmmakers... don't.

At the APS Global Physics Summit, we asked physicists to set the record straight on the biggest misconceptions in their fields and what sci-fi movies never quite get right.

From everyday black holes to conciousness, here’s what they wish people knew.

$The Mathematicians Uniting Chaos Under One Theory Random geometry isnt a traditional, well-bounded discipline — its young, rapidly evolving, and inherently cross-disciplinary. At the Infosys Random Geometry Centre at TIFR, mathematicians are finding the shared structure underneath seemingly unrelated objects: fractals from SLE curves, Brownian laminations, and conformal dynamics, all sharing certain universality properties. The Centre grew out of informal canteen conversations among a small group at TIFRs School of Mathematics, and has since hosted joint meetings with the London Mathematical Society and TIFRs flagship International Colloquium — strengthening Indias presence in cutting-edge mathematics while staying deeply connected to the global research community. #TIFR #RandomGeometry #Mathematics #India #ScienceResearch #Shorts$
