Audiences around the world have been enchanted by James Cameron's visionary Avatar, with its glimpse of the Na'vi on the marvelous world of Pandora. But the movie is not entirely a fantasy; there is a scientific rationale for much of what we saw on the screen, from the possibility of travel to other worlds, to the life forms seen on screen and the ecological and cybernetic concepts that underpin the 'neural networks' in which the Na'vi and their sacred trees are joined, as well as to the mind-linking to the avatars themselves. From popular science journalist and acclaimed science fiction author Stephen Baxter, THE SCIENCE OF AVATAR is a guide to the rigorous fact behind the fiction. It will enhance the readers' enjoyment of the movie experience by drawing them further into its imagined world. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

IT is split into several sections, and within those sections there are chapters on different aspects, for example space travel, the habitable zone from a star, the possibility of alien life forms and the whole environment that the film creates.
The science is not very deep, Baxter writes with some authority, but this is only an overview of known technology and speculation of what might be one day. The general conclusion is that almost all is plausible, but not for a while yet. ( )
