Science Goes Hollywood: Nas Links With Entertainment Industry

摘要

Los angeles, california-Near the end ofrnthe movie Titanic, actress Kate Winslet stands on a plank of wood and looks up at the night sky. "There was one sky Kate Winslet should be looking at," astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said at an unusual gathering of 350 Hollywood moguls and prominent scientists who met here on 20 November to launch a new collaboration called the Science & Entertainment Exchange (SEE). "It was the wrong sky. I was pissed off." Tyson, who heads the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, said he met Titanic director James Cameron by chance and pointed out that the stars on the left side of the screen mirrored the stars on the right. "He said, 'The last time I checked, the film made $ 1 billion.'" Tyson says he replied, tongue in cheek, "Imagine how much more you could have made."
