Chemist Reacts to Movies | Science vs Fiction

In this episode of Science vs Fiction, chemist and Georgia Tech chemistry professor Dr. Anthony Rojas breaks down and fact-checks iconic chemistry scenes from movies and TV shows. Anthony Rojas holds a PhD in Chemistry from MIT and is the creator of the YouTube channel Rojas Lab (    / @rojaslab   ), where he makes chemistry accessible to everyone. Breaking Bad, The Martian, Terminator 2, Lost, Community, Dark Waters, Dante's Peak, Fight Club, The Rock: how accurately do these movies and shows portray chemistry? Can acid really dissolve a body like in Breaking Bad? Does chloroform actually knock someone out instantly? Could you make water on Mars? How dangerous is VX nerve agent? Can liquid nitrogen really freeze someone solid? And what are the real dangers of forever chemicals like PFAS? Dr. Anthony Rojas answers all these questions and reveals what Hollywood gets right, what it gets completely wrong, and the fascinating chemistry behind some of the most iconic scenes in movies and TV.
