They can be fascinating avenues for&#xd;&#xa;experiencing some phenomena we may never actually witness in real life. They can also be ridiculous or laughably awful when scientific liberties are taken a bit too far. Join the CR4 team here in the &#x3c;i&#x3e;Physics in Film&#x3c;&#x2f;i&#x3e; blog as we explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of the science and engineering&#xd;&#xa;we see on the screen.&#x3c;&#x2f;p&#x3e;]]></description><copyright>Copyright 2026</copyright><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:00:00 EST</pubDate><generator>https&#x3a;&#x2f;&#x2f;cr4.globalspec.com</generator><item><title><![CDATA[Back to the Future Tech - How Do We Compare&#x3f;]]></title><link><![CDATA[https&#x3a;&#x2f;&#x2f;cr4.globalspec.com&#x2f;blogentry&#x2f;26596&#x2f;Back-to-the-Future-Tech-How-Do-We-Compare&#x3f;from_rss&#x3d;1]]></link><description><![CDATA[So two days ago was&#xd; October 21, 2015 - the monumental day when Marty McFly time traveled into the&#xd; future in the movie Back To The Future Part II.
