I’ve been a fan of the Godzilla franchise for a long time. I’m absolutely stunned to learn that the films don’t hold up to scientific scrutiny. I feel lied to, and betrayed. How could they do this‽ Everything is ruined.
Godzila for one is powered by ✨nuclear energy ✨
Does he eat nuclear energy? Or does he like chow down on some humpbacks every day?
Is Godzilla the real reason the Japanese whaling fleet won’t stop?
Their whaling fleet is a cover for his late night snacks. As near apex predators they have the highest concentration of radiation from Fukushima Daichi. Kinda like DDT and bald eagles.
But luckily we have Gojiro which is a natural sink for radiation 🥳👌🏽✨
I mean it’s pretty well explained in the movie that there is actually an entire ecosystem of giant life forms living in the center of the planet, and that they sometimes accidentally find tunnels out into our world, duh! -pushes up glasses on face-
The oxygen concentration in today’s admoaphere would not be enough. That’s why bringing dinos backs wouldn’t work. That and Nedrid.
um what/who is Nedrid? google didn’t help
I think he means Nedry, a character in Jurassic Park.
But what if we gave each dinosaur an oxygen mask?
Strength squares as you scale up but mass cubes; creatures this large wouldn’t be able to move their own body weight.
If you stop just before immobility, you’d have gargantuan fights at a glacial pace. Would be a terrible movie, but maybe a cool story or book.
First one to fall on top of their opponent wins.
This must be the real reason we have earthquakes.
A quick search suggests scientists haven’t definitively proven it isn’t the cause.
You also can’t just scale things up and have them work the same way. I forget if there’s a proper name for this but weight is related to volume which is the cube of the dimension, but pressure is related to area which is the square of the dimension. So giant king kongs ankles aren’t looking so great right now as the pressure will increase with scale.
Fittingly enough, this is called the Square-Cube law
Why can’t we just petition to amend the law?
Thank you! I was sure it had a name.
Massive flocks of meaty birds. Like Godzilla-sized plankton that can fly.
They literally show the ecosystem in the movie… This meme sucks.
✨ it’s a movie ✨
It’s a science meme community
✨ which is why I don’t think this meme is good ✨
But we got to talk about the Square-Cube law
