What's real

Apparently, in the film 2012, the world is destroyed by neutrinos which is interesting because if they could then they already would have given that we have in the order of 1014 of the things passing through us every second. If Hollywood are going to make up physics then I wish they'd make it all up rather than mixing the made up with the real. The Science and Entertainment Exchange, an advisory body run by the US National Academy of Sciences, don't like this distorted science either and would like Hollywood to stick to the facts. Just imagine if it was reversed and Hollywood tried to tell us that they would like us to teach the physics they portray in their films instead of the real stuff, hmm.
