學(xué)生已今非昔比。如今，似乎有些學(xué)生從來(lái)就沒(méi)有翻開(kāi)過(guò)書(shū)本。這是科普作家斯蒂夫·瓊斯在其《單螺旋線》一書(shū)中描繪的令人沮喪的情景，他把批評(píng)的矛頭指向現(xiàn)代通信系統(tǒng)。信息即媒介；從前有書(shū)本，可是現(xiàn)在，瓊斯說(shuō)：“媒介是，或者說(shuō)似乎是，一切，但絕不是紙上印的一行行字?！痹S多學(xué)生就是不再習(xí)慣讀書(shū)了——書(shū)是老掉牙的溝通方式。Text14Text

2

那么怎樣使他們學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)呢？好吧，你要是走進(jìn)校園書(shū)店，就會(huì)找到辦法。那里有生物化學(xué)家的歌本，其中化學(xué)分子式被配上樂(lè)曲以便記憶。相對(duì)論是用電子游戲來(lái)解釋的，那是個(gè)虛擬乘火箭在空間旅行的游戲：你可以在火箭加速或減速飛行時(shí)在上面打網(wǎng)球。還有卡通，它們使哪怕最艱澀的科學(xué)話題都變得有趣易懂。

Text 15Text

3

可是就連這些激發(fā)興趣的方法也已變得老套了。更激進(jìn)的方法是一個(gè)物理學(xué)教授提出來(lái)的：從科幻電影的錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)。有些電影也許糟透了，但其中隱藏有大量有益的信息。學(xué)生只需舒舒服服地坐著、放松、欣賞電影，同時(shí)吸收一點(diǎn)科學(xué)知識(shí)。Text 16Text

4

有幾個(gè)例子可以說(shuō)明教授的想法。在《地球著火之日》（1961）中，兩顆同時(shí)爆炸的原子彈把地球推向太陽(yáng)。可是這違反了牛頓的第三運(yùn)動(dòng)定律——即，作用力和反作用力相等且方向相反。既然地球重達(dá)六千艾噸，那就需要特大的爆炸才能把它推入正確的方向。假設(shè)爆炸將一億噸巖石和碎渣拋入宇宙，那么這個(gè)炸彈的威力要比任何以往的炸彈都要大。但是，稍做運(yùn)算就能說(shuō)明，這樣一場(chǎng)爆炸除了會(huì)把地球上的生物全部殺死之外，充其量也只能讓地球偏離軌道大約四分之一英寸。注：地球的重量應(yīng)該是6×10的24次方千克（10的18次方叫艾）。Text 17Text5

所以，這部電影是沒(méi)有科學(xué)含量的虛構(gòu)作品。1986年出品的電影《異形》也是同樣。在這部影片中，宇航員們?cè)谟钪骘w船中走來(lái)走去，就好像在地球上的家里一樣——而實(shí)際上他們應(yīng)當(dāng)在無(wú)重力環(huán)境中漂浮才對(duì)。《異形》的制片人可能會(huì)在大學(xué)一年級(jí)的物理學(xué)考試中不及格，但是《2001：太空漫游》背后的智囊斯坦利·庫(kù)布里克和亞瑟·克拉克卻會(huì)在同樣的考試中以高分通過(guò)。宇宙飛船上有一巨大的輪子轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)著，產(chǎn)生向心力，并給船上的宇航員一種“起伏”感。Text5 所以，這部電影是沒(méi)有科學(xué)含量的虛構(gòu)作品。1918Text6

科幻電影中對(duì)相對(duì)論的處理更是令人摸不著頭腦。以《星艦迷航：回家之旅》（1987）為例：宇宙飛船圍繞太陽(yáng)飛行，速度越來(lái)越快，最后竟然飛回到了歷史之中。但這是瞎編亂造，而不是相對(duì)論。正如瓊斯所說(shuō)：“愛(ài)因斯坦說(shuō)沒(méi)有什么比光速更快；但沒(méi)有說(shuō)如果你跑得夠快，鐘表就會(huì)倒轉(zhuǎn)?！本瓦B《超人》（1978）也被此概念所困惑。他在瞬間往逆時(shí)針?lè)较蚶@地球一周去救地震受難者洛伊斯·萊恩。瓊斯說(shuō)：“時(shí)間不像汽車(chē)，它沒(méi)有倒擋。”Text19Text7

最后，1977年根據(jù)H.G.威爾斯的小說(shuō)拍攝的《螞蟻帝國(guó)》里的那些巨型昆蟲(chóng)又如何呢？問(wèn)題在于它們的肺，或者說(shuō)，它們根本沒(méi)有肺。螞蟻沒(méi)有肺，它們是通過(guò)身體組織吸收氧氣的。螞蟻越大，吸收氧氣的時(shí)間就越長(zhǎng)——這樣它們身體的各部件就不能良好地運(yùn)作。所以像人那么大的螞蟻更可能老是在大口喘氣，而不是把冒失少年的腦袋咬掉。Text20depressinganymoreoutdatedsongbook
