SONGS FOR MYSTERIOUS SCIENTISTS
 
  “She Blinded Me With Science”
      – Thomas Dolby, from the album The Golden Age of Wireless
 
 

It's poetry in motion;
She turned her tender eyes to me:
As deep as any ocean,
As sweet as any harmony.
But she blinded me with science
** She blinded me with science! **
And failed me in biology

  album cover for The Golden Age of Wireless

REVIEW: "She Blinded Me With Science" was one of those unforgettable quirky hits of the 1980s—a perfect blend of pop craft, wackiness, and driving synthesizers. There are other excellent songs on The Golden Age of Wireless too, including "Radio Silence," "Airwaves," and the amazing "One of Our Submarines." Blinded or not with science, our ears still work just fine, and they like this Dolby sound!

Hollywood Science:
Movies, Science, and the End of the World

How accurately do films like Metropolis, The Matrix, War of the Worlds, and An Inconvenient Truth capture scientific fact, theory, and disaster scenarios? To what extent do these films influence public opinion about science and the future?
