Myths
Movies and books often exaggerate about
the future. Although these fictional stories are often
based on fact, the goal of most blockbusters are to
thrill you, not to give you a science lesson. If you read
or hear about something new that interests you, try doing
a search for it on the internet to look for the fact
behind the fiction.
