FYI, most of the English-speaking world shares British grammar, spelling, and, other than the Canadians, accents that are more similar to the British accents than to the American ones. Besides, all ex-colonies have older versions in pronunciation and grammar than the metropolis, and by metropolis, in this case, I mean the ex-British empire. In terms of American spelling, check out a guy by the name of Noah Webster. I'm sure you've heard of American dictionaries with variations in titles of the name Webster. Example: the Merriam Webster dictionary. I may not be a scientist, but I am an applied linguist, specialized in English, and the history of this language. So, no, "Maths" is not wrong. In many English-speaking countries, perhaps with the exception of Canada, this is the spelling they use.

When I think of Galaxy Quest, I think of Grabtar's Hammer, because of his voice and wonderful acting. Materialist that I am, I still hope he may have gone to something better than this bleak Earth.

    I heard Neil Tyson talk a lot about designs in movies, about aliens for example and how he doesn't understand the design choices they made (eg. Avatar's Na'vi look like big blue humans). The one factor that people like him and you, Thagomizer, don't understand, is storytelling. The sole purpose of a design is to drive the story forward, not to appear logical from all angles. Why are the raptors in the new JP naked? Most probably because they look way scarier than with feathers and it's more important that they look scary than "accurate". Why do the Na'vi look so similar to humans, even tho they developed in a completely different place? Because we as viewers need to be able to identify with them, read their emotions and understand their ways. As soon as the design becomes too "otherwordly" the audience can't connect with it.

    “The one factor that people like him and you, Thagomizer, don't understand, is storytelling. The sole purpose of a design is to drive the story forward, not to appear logical from all angles.” I have an MFA in Writing from California College of the Arts. My work has been published in The Bridge, Samizdat Literary Journal, Blank Fiction Magazine, and Canyon Voices. In 2007, my memoir won 1st place for Creative Non-Fiction at a time when less than 1% of the submissions were even published and a work of short fiction by me won 2nd place in the same issue. I attended the Martha’s Vineyard Writer’s Colony in 2012 and the Wharf Writer’s Conference during the same year, during which my novel pitch caught the attention of both agents brought in to hear it. I have also attended AWP in Boston, guest lectured at Arizona State University, and read at San Francisco and Martha’s Vineyard. Unless you have a book or two published, work as an editor for a major publishing house, or currently teach writing workshops at the post-secondary level, you are in no position whatsoever to tell me that I don’t understand storytelling. “Why are the raptors in the new JP naked? Most probably because they look way scarier than with feathers and it's more important that they look scary than "accurate".” That depends on what paleo-artist you’re looking at. There is some amazing stuff out there, most notably from the likes of Julius Cstonyi, Luis Rey, and quite a few others. Certain modern feathered fiends, like Emus and Cassowarys can be pretty fucking terrifying. As for me, I know far too much about dinosaurs to enjoy most mainstream depictions of them. One thing the fossil record is consistently proving, however, is that dinosaurs are much weirder and more interesting that anything a fantasy or science fiction artist could dream up. What’s truly depressing to me is that many mainstream audiences prefer their childhood chimeras to the richer reality that’s currently being opened up to us by modern science. My enjoyment of dinosaurs only increases with age. The main reason I don’t actually write science fiction is because I respect science too much. I know enough to know that I don’t know enough, so I usually write fantasy and horror instead, which I consider the true liberation of the imagination. Science Fiction, on the other hand, usually exists to explore the philosophical, or sociological impact of real or possible science. It takes place in the world of the supposedly possible. You can, of course, argue that the audience is only familiar with the JP chimeras and the newest sequel thus needs to adhere to them in order for anyone to buy it. The trouble is, Speilberg and Crichton could have used that exact same excuse to give us tail-dragging Tyrannosaurs and swamp-dwelling sauropods in 1993, because that’s what the audience would expect. They also could have forgone the use of unfamiliar creatures like Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus, because they less well known to the audiences of the day, and the world would have been all the poorer for it. The trailer for the new JP film even gives us a convenient excuse to update the dinosaurs accordingly (“We know far more about genetics than we did before.”) The first JP film broke ground by bringing the audience up to speed somewhat (by portraying late 1980’s dinosaurs instead of 1960’s dinosaurs). The dinosaurs in JP are still stuck in the 1980’s. It’s 2015 now. “Why do the Na'vi look so similar to humans, even tho they developed in a completely different place? Because we as viewers need to be able to identify with them, read their emotions and understand their ways. As soon as the design becomes too "otherwordly" the audience can't connect with it.” And it’s rather manipulative that way. District 9 dealt with similar themes in a more challenging manner. The aliens in that film were repulsive rather than cute-looking, and somewhat animalistic. It’s hubris to think that anything which comes from space should look like us. It makes the audience wonder whether or not they would treat the prawns with the same amount of disdain. Avatar is fairly shallow by comparison. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the setting, but the story was the weakest element of the movie.

    Thagomizer First, let me apologize for making baseless assumptions about your storytelling skills. The chances that you're an awarded writer were reather small.. ;) I myself am no writer, I'm a concept artist. I have a diploma in entertainment design from FZD. That means I understand less about storytelling than you, but I definetly understand enough about the visual aspects of an IP. "As for me, I know far too much about dinosaurs to enjoy most mainstream depictions of them. One thing the fossil record is consistently proving, however, is that dinosaurs are much weirder and more interesting that anything a fantasy or science fiction artist could dream up. What’s truly depressing to me is that many mainstream audiences prefer their childhood chimeras to the richer reality that’s currently being opened up to us by modern science." and... "You can, of course, argue that the audience is only familiar with the JP chimeras and the newest sequel thus needs to adhere to them in order for anyone to buy it. The trouble is, Speilberg and Crichton could have used that exact same excuse to give us tail-dragging Tyrannosaurs and swamp-dwelling sauropods in 1993, because that’s what the audience would expect. The fact that the Jurassic IP has already been established in 1993 and is being loved since then makes the mainstream audience have much clearer expectations for the sequel/remake regarding the overall design, than the audience generally had about dinosaurs in 1993. Also a big part of the "old audience" has probably never seen any moving imagery of a dinosaurs pre JP. I understand your concerns that Hollywood often seems to have little interest in creating up-to-date representations of a certain subject, I really do. One of the very basic principles of design is that you always have to base it on something people can relate to by at least 80%, (even the aliens in District 9 "look like prawns") sometimes that's a huge restriction. But at the end of the day this is a business, as I'm sure you're very well aware. And when you spend over $150 Mio. (in case of Jurassic World) for a movie, you better make sure it sells and here we are on the subject of risk taking. Is it safer to cater to all the "dinosaur geeks" (no offense ;)) out there that want to see dino's with feathers, or is it better not to reinvent the IP and keep the old working design that the main audience expects? Since they played it safe and went for the latter they introduced that hybrid dinosaur scenario, so the audience sees something fresh. It's the above mentioned formula, a small new feature on a old working base. They're always gonna go for that, even if it's less accurate, because at the end of the day, (familiar) entertainment makes more money than accuracy. It's a movie, not a documentary. "District 9 dealt with similar themes in a more challenging manner. The aliens in that film were repulsive rather than cute-looking, and somewhat animalistic. It’s hubris to think that anything which comes from space should look like us. It makes the audience wonder whether or not they would treat the prawns with the same amount of disdain. Avatar is fairly shallow by comparison. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the setting, but the story was the weakest element of the movie. " I agree on most points. But since the stories are different the focus was too. District 9 catered to a much more narrow audience, *because* they chose a more repulsive design than the much more children friendly Avatar. And guess what? Avatar had a budget of $237 Mio while District 9 was at $30 Mio. I love both movies and it's hard to compare them because the settings are so different. I would'nt say Avatar had a more shallow story, the pattern has just been used many times before eg. in Dances with Wolves and District 9 is rather fresh in comparison. Even tho I found District 9 emotionally moving, watching it always gave me a mild feeling of disgust/"what the heck did I just watch" while after watching Avatar all I want is to visit Pandora. Not to say that one is better than the other but it all comes back to the design choices they made. It's a really tough job to walk that fine line of bringing the audience something unseen and at the same time familiar enough that they can relate to it. That's something most people that criticize designs never think about and what made me reply to your comment in the first place. It's not like creators of Sci-Fi movies lack imagination nor effort but at the end of the day we live in a world of compromise.

    First, thank you for your generous reply. I admire the sort of work that you do. I've always loved fantasy and sci-fi art featured in Spectrum, Heavy Metal magazine, etc. I still frequent devinatart to this day. In high school and some of college, I had serious deliberations about majoring in illustration or fine arts, but upon the review of my portfolio I was told by an art department head that I was more of an "ideas person" instead. I don't have much else to add except that part of the reason I'm somewhat harsh on the JP franchise is that hardly anyone has bothered to make a serious film featuring dinosaurs since. For many, it seems that JP invented dinosaurs, and I find that a bit disheartening. I could imagine a respectable cinematic adaptation of something like "Raptor Red", "Dinotopia" or "The Dechronization of Sam Macgruder", but instead we only seem to get Sequelman II, III, and IV, year by year. But regardless, I definitely agree with you about the feel of Pandora, and am excited for the possibility of an Avatar sequel. I honestly don't care what's done on Pandora so long as we get to visit the place again.

    Fantastic chat! When I was taking dance in college, I had a Modern dance instructor, Kathleen Burick - a wonderful woman who made us do an exercise that emulated a flock of flying birds. She made us weave around one another without stopping or bumping another person. So many people were not able to do this gracefully. When Neil said it takes just one bird to be the follower, it made me wonder how the exercise would change if she used that strategy! The talk regarding the water and strobe light pattern was interesting as well. I've read about geometric patterns found when drums are played, resonance, and sacred geometry in plants etc. It's so cool!

    Loved the discussion about how important good teaching is in science education! I only had biology in high school, so when I got to teachers college and had to take both physics and chemistry, I had no previous experience with either. I had a fantastic physics professor and got an A in that class. I had a terrible teacher for chemistry (who decided to teach after 30+ years in industry) and I barely got a C and only managed that by comparing lab notes with friends after each class.

    Professor Liu is very right about a student failing. I remember looking forward to Chemistry so much in high school and when i go there I was always confused. The teacher hardly ever explained anything and it never felt fun. I always felt like learning was fun, but that class was torture. I ended up failing the second semester and had to make it up later on with a different teacher who was more engaging AND fun.
