Call for Help with Chris Pirillo and me

[happyclappy88]

dont get me started on the core, as a geologist i can say that not one part of that film is possible, and the bits that are are failed by eveything around them that ruins it!

[zitianaki]

nice video

[crispybacon100]

This guy is a tool

[TheLarssan]

Cool!

[daniel87980]

Computers in the movies and in tv shows make too much damn noise! : p

[inagod]

the moon is open for exploration,Japan,Europe,China­,India are all looking at itt up close,including pictures of the Apollo landing sites,sorry no ET.We will have bases full time,in 29 years.

[DayLight95]

lol i love chris he is a legend

[untox]

Why he's not allowed to say if we did go to the moon live?

[mmstick]

lol The video sent back was not real. The original transmission had "things" that are not meant for the public to see.

[pillsareyummy]

"lol The video sent back was not real. The original transmission had "things" that are not meant for the public to see." What like 'moon bases' from ET? Give me a fucking break. I suppose India and China are going to have to 'doctor' their transmissions as well?

[tgm09]

lol chris looks weird wit make up

[aimeebaines]

aww Chris lo0ks so cyo0t in this video X3

[DJAc1d]

forget the "no" bit :P it was meant to be "now"

[DJAc1d]

Scientists have no sucessfully teleported atoms across a room

[mmstick]

true... They have done a bit more than that

[youdragon]

i mis call for help

[kd287]

LOL at :08 seconds!!!

[NovemberKat]

BA FTW!!!

[Marcie57]

chris is such a professional little geek ya gotta love em lol

[crippanda6]

chris pirillo ftw

[killgroup]

They already have the capability to teleport light.

[Tacotruck1166]

Light is the transformation of energy from one form to another.

[LovelyYTRocks]

Aha!

I caught a contradiction!

That's "Britney Spears & Physics"

[highonhayek]

fungus from outer space?

[macronencer]

Convert some red-shirt to energy! BWAH HAH HAH! Excellent. Very bizarre audio mix though - I could barely hear the talking when the clips were shown.

btw Phil is right about freezing turning you into mush - however, I must point out that real-world cryonics has moved on significantly now and is no longer done that way: they now effectively turn you into "glass" instead of ice. That said, it's still a long shot :)

[usefkl05]

America and the rest of the world needs more people promoting science like Dr. Plait does, in a fun and down to Earth way. Way to go!

[mardigan71]

My biggest pet peeve with Sci-Fi movies is "sound in outer space". I always cringe when you can hear the laser fire and the rumble of ships, etc. Of course, total silence doesn't capture the imagination quite like a nifty sound effect, but it somehow seems more elegant.

[vahnx1337]

hey it's Dr. Phil!

[stand2reason]

LOL, when I see that pose, I can only remember your entry in the Skepdude calendar. Oh, Jesus.

[Clausfarre]

If you are not still too busy, then please make some new science videos. That ask-the-astronomer thing you recommended instead was a dud. Not a word from that gentleman. Astronomy cafe, as it turns out, is one big plug for his books - most questions refer to his books. The world needs a dose of Plait!

[TrueNorth15]

great stuff

[foley15136]

He's right that most of the sci-fi movies have bad science EXCEPT Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Improbability drive is real and the answer to everything is in fact 42.

[FunkyJogaBonito]

Great video, Phil. We have a program in Britain called 'Hollywood science', where two guys actually set up fairly crude experiments in an attempt to find out if certain aspects of a film (they look at a different one each week) are realistic.

Love your site, by the way. I am a regular lurker. Merry Newtonmas(s), Phil!

[suttsteve]

I think I caught a couple of episodes, but I never really watched it. Nice clip, though.

[CousinoMacul]

Look at those two young kids having fun.

[hethuszar01]

Hi Phil,

I think that no other man has so much patience as you.

The host is a nerdy idiot, and you are a very understandable scientist.

What was the editor thinking putting you two into the same space?

By the way, you said quite nice things, thanks for it.

Cheers

[sarcasmosis]

Chris Pirillo brought with him the death of TechTV, ZDTV, and the rural nerd's only chance at watching real technology television in the middle of nowhere.

[jergsden]

So Chris is the cousin Oliver of TechTV? Hmmm. You may have a point...

[munky99999]

LOL... just some red shirt or something. Use people as gas... heh.

[CrashGames2108]

It should be christ pirillo and I.

[evirus]

who ever's running the sound board on that episode should have been fired. the clips they play AS YOUR TALKING are so loud i can't make out what your saying. such idiocy.

[SkepticalZombie]

good clip -- i cannot STAND the host though.

You're such a good natured science nerd, Phil.
