    Top 10 Scientifically Inaccurate Movies #4) The Day After Tomorrow "Roland Emmerich brought his trademark academic rigor to the realm of climatology and the result proved to be so silly that NASA refused to help with the filming of the movie. For one thing, it would require most of Antarctica to melt in order to submerge New York City to the level it is in the movie. If all the rays of the sun were directed at the South Pole, its ice would melt in about two and half years. This ridiculousness drove Duke University paleoclimatologist William Hyde to publicly state, "This movie is to climate science as Frankenstein is to heart transplant surgery."

    It talks about how NASA scientists are disgusted that these movies featured aliens doing this, or a natural disaster doing that, because they are not possible in the world of physics. Shut the f@$k up!!! It's a movie, it's entertainment. If I wanted physically and scientifcally accurate I wouldn't go to the movies. I would go to MIT.
