I’m sorry I cannot forget about the Indiana Jones movie. It’s like something you have been waiting all your life and it comes right up and crushes your spirit with something disappointing from the beginning of the movie itself. Since I wrote its ridiculous to escape from a nuclear explosion by staying in a lead covered fridge, I am gonna prove why its so. These are the two ridiculously non scientific things i noticed at the beginning of the movie.
NUKE THE FRIDGE aka Escaping from a nuclear blast using a lead lined fridge:
Friends of mine are “dissing” me because they think the fact that Indy Jones escaped from a nuclear blast in a lead lined fridge is totally possible because its “Lead lined”.
Lets lay out the facts right, the simulated town near the nuclear blast was around 500m from the epicenter of the blast. Since we know that at the epicenter of a nuclear blast (fission for argument’s sake for all skeptics) becomes millions of degrees hot lets assume the temperature around the fridge was at least tens of thousand degrees. Lead protects you from radiation but not high temperature because its simple melts at 600 C and the steel around it melts around 1400 C. Indy along with the lead and steel of the fridge would have been vaporised. For funs sake , this is what he would look like if the lead had melted with him inside(courtesy empire strikes back….)
USING GUNPOWDER TO FIND THE ALIEN ATRIFACT:
Remember the scene where Indy was throwing gun powder high into the air (not the shotgun pellets) and they were being attracted to alien coffin because it was so highly magnetic. Science 101,gunpowder is a mixture of charcoal,sulfur and salt petre(KNO3) none of them remotely being magnetic. It was ridiculous how he was using them as a magnetic field detector.
