The concept and basic structure of the book are hers, and her astute suggestions during the writing process have shaped countless details of its format, content, and style. We have never met face to face, but our interactions by phone and e-mail have been models of the writer-editor partnership. Production editor Megan Peckman and her staff have also been a great help, especially in guiding me through the intricacies of choosing illus- trations. Copyeditor Pelham Boyer artfully improved my prose in many places and caught several errors of fact that had slipped by me. Over the year and a half it took to write Science in Popular Culture, friends, colleagues, and family members have patiently answered what must have seemed like an endless series of bizarre questions. They have also given me places to write, editorial advice, technical expertise, and a chance to fine-tune my writing style by “test driving” parts of the book as members of its target audience. Thanks, in alphabetical order, to: John Lockhart, Joe Mundt, Julie Newell, Alan Riley, Judy Riley, John Szucs, Jan Van Riper, Tony Van Riper, James Whitenton, and those whose names I have inevitably forgotten. All have helped to make this a better and more complete book, and all have my heartfelt thanks and appre- ciation. I also owe three other debts, less concrete but no less significant. The first is to my daughter Katie, now six, who enriched the book by helping me to rediscover the world of children’s entertainment. The second is to Jim Berkowitz, pop culture maven extraordinaire, who long ago taught me to read what is written below the surface of popular culture. The third is to the dedicated creators of pop culture Web sites, who put the answers to seemingly unanswerable questions (“What’s the name of that cartoon where Bugs Bunny is trying to fly the giant plane?”) at my fin- gertips. The Internet may not have transformed the world, but it has surely transformed the study of popular culture. CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS BOOK The metric system, though virtually universal in science, is still unfa- miliar to most Americans. All measurements in this book are, therefore, given in the English system. Dates given for creative works reflect first publication for books, plays, and stories; first release for movies; first network run for TV series; and the equivalents for other media. All works are listed by their U.S. titles. Names of book authors are given as they appear on the title page, re- gardless of the author’s real name (e.g., Mark Twain, not Samuel L. Clemens). Popular songs, unless otherwise specified, are attributed to the songwriters rather than to the performers. Names of movie and televi- sion characters are followed, in parentheses, by the names of the actors who played them. All names, titles, dates, and similar information about creative works have been checked against standard reference sources (listed in the Gen- eral Bibliography) and are believed to be accurate. Any errors and omissions are unintentional. INTRODUCTION When a character in a movie or television show easily finds a parking space in front of a downtown building at midday, we accept it as dra- matic license. We say “That’s Hollywood!” to ourselves or the person next to us and turn our attention back to the story—knowing all the while that in the real world, there is seldom a parking space empty when we need one. The dramatic license is obvious because it involves some- thing that we do every day. We excuse it because we know that watching the hero circling the block would derail the story. Other examples of dramatic license pass unnoticed because they are outside of our everyday experience. Sailors wince when the skipper of a fictional schooner sends crew members aloft to furl the mainsail. Gun enthusiasts groan when a fictional villain pulls out a silenced revolver. Paleontologists chuckle when the cover of Jurassic Park features a dinosaur that lived not in the Jurassic but in the later Cretaceous period. Audience members who are experts in other areas enjoy the show, untroubled. This book is an attempt to separate reality from dramatic license in popular culture’s treatment of science and of some of the technologies deeply influenced by it. Each of its eighty-one entries deals with a science-related object, idea, person, process, or concept. Each briefly sum- marizes the current understanding of the topic, then discusses its portrayal in popular culture and, where possible, the roots of that por- trayal. The titles of the entries sometimes, for the sake of clarity, reflect popular culture rather than science: No compact, scientifically accurate phrase covers the same ground as “death ray” or “miracle drug.” Each entry concludes with a list of related entries and a brief list of suggested readings that (in the interest of accessibility) emphasizes books, large- circulation periodicals, and established Web sites. The bibliography at the end of the book covers general works on science, popular culture, and science in popular culture. This book is designed to serve multiple purposes. One is to separate xvi Introduction fact from fiction in popular culture’s depiction of particular scientific and technological topics. A second is to identify exemplary treatments of par- ticular scientific topics in popular culture. A third is to explore recurring patterns in popular culture’s depictions of science and technology in gen- eral. Individual entries may also serve as brief introductions to, and guides to further reading about, their subjects. “Science” is both a body of knowledge and the process used to expand and revise it. The body of knowledge includes discrete facts, patterns that order them, and explanations of why those patterns exist. The proc- ess of expanding and revising that body of knowledge has many ele- ments, among them observation, experimentation, mathematical analysis, and computer modeling. All can be used to test new explana- tions and reexamine old ones. The results of the process are shaped, but not determined, by the cultural context in which it takes place: influences such as political tensions, economic pressures, religious beliefs, personal ambitions, and institutional rivalries. Science’s multifaceted nature complicates the process of defining its boundaries. Where those boundaries fall—which ideas they include and which they exclude—has been the subject of debate for centuries. For practical reasons such as length, this work defines “science” conserva- tively and draws its outer boundaries narrowly. The majority of the en- tries deal with topics from the familiar “natural science” disciplines: chemistry, physics, biology, geology, astronomy, meteorology, and bio- logical anthropology. Some entries, however, cross that boundary, in or- der to deal with topics in medicine (epidemics), psychology (dreams, intelligence), and especially technology (computers, robots, space travel). A handful of essays focus on subjects that fall well outside mainstream science. Some (UFOs, psychic powers) treat ideas championed by small groups of enthusiasts but rejected or viewed with intense skepticism by mainstream scientists.

Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

  • The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
    www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 18 - Fall 1991 © 1991, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific "Having finally penetrated below the clouds of Venus, we find its surface to be naked [not hidden], revealing the history of hundreds of millions of years of geological activity. Venus is a geologist's dream planet.'' —Astronomer David Morrison This fall, the brightest star-like object you can see in the eastern skies before dawn isn't a star at all — it's Venus, the second closest planet to the Sun. Because Venus is so similar in diameter and mass to our world, and also has a gaseous atmosphere, it has been called the Earth's "sister planet''. Many years ago, scientists expected its surface, which is perpetually hidden beneath a thick cloud layer, to look like Earth's as well. Earlier this century, some people even imagined that Venus was a hot, humid, swampy world populated by prehistoric creatures! But we now know Venus is very, very different. New radar images of Venus, just returned from NASA's Magellan spacecraft orbiting the planet, have provided astronomers the clearest view ever of its surface, revealing unique geological features, meteor impact craters, and evidence of volcanic eruptions different from any others found in the solar system. This issue of The Universe in the Classroom is devoted to what Magellan is teaching us today about our nearest neighbor, Venus. Where is Venus, and what is it like? Spacecraft exploration of Venus's surface Magellan — a "recycled'' spacecraft How does Magellan take pictures through the clouds? What has Magellan revealed about Venus? How does Venus' surface compare with Earth's? What is the next step in Magellan's mission? If Venus is such an uninviting place, why are we interested in it? Reading List Why is it so hot on Venus? Where is Venus, and what is it like? Venus orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path between Mercury and the Earth, about 3/4 as far from our star as the Earth is.

    22 TIGHTBEAM Those multiple points of connection—and favorites—indicate the show’s position of preference in popular culture, and Tennant said he’s consistently surprised by how Doctor Who fandom and awareness has spread internationally—despite its British beginnings. “Doctor Who is part of the cultural furniture in the UK,” he said. “It’s something that’s uniquely British, that Britain is proud of, and that the British are fascinated by.” Now, when Tennant is recognized in public, he can determine how much a fan of the show the person is based on what they say to him. “If someone says, ‘Allons-y!’ chances are they’re a fan,” he said. Most people say something like, “Where’s your Tardis?” or “Aren’t you going to fix that with your sonic screwdriver?” There might be one thing that all fans can agree on. Perhaps—as Tennant quipped—Doctor Who Day, Nov. 23 (which marks the airing of the first episode, “An Unearthly Child”) should be a national holiday. Regardless of what nation—or planet—you call home.
