Jurassic Park

It’s amazing how much actual science is in Jurassic Park. Watching the movie when I was little and when I didn’t really pay attention, I never really noticed how much science was really in it. The movie wasn’t made recently, so it’s cool how it was connects to our world today. The movie uses genetic engineering for example, and that’s something that our scientists are still working on today. The blueprints of DNA and the cloning is something that scientists are still working on today to improve it, so it’s kind of fascinating that the idea was already coming when that movie was made. The movie also talked about natural selection. Natural selection has been around for quite awhile, but the movie made it true. It stated that nature selected the dinosaurs for extinction. That could quite possible be the real reason. In the article we had to read in Past Imperfect, it stated that with dinosaurs that were emergent properties that made a misunderstanding between science and history. This could mean many things. The science of it is finding the fossils of them and finding how they were extinct ect.. The history would just be that they were actually here at one point. Some people get the two conflicted because historians could say one thing, and a scientist could prove something with evidence. It’s hard to imagine that there were dinosaurs on this earth at one time. I think it’d be the coolest thing to see one or even just see a skeleton of one. They come to my mind as being huge and things that were indestructible. The movie made me think about all the things that have to go on behind the scenes with science. I never really realized that almost everything we do and almost every discovery has some kind of science involved. Not only that, but everything we use has science behind it and how it’s made. The science industry is huge, and it pretty much rules the world.
