Look for a short TV or movie clip that details or explains a wrong chemistry concept and idea. Apply what you have learned in the course to explain why the information is erroneous. Further, present a short correct solution oralternatescientific-basednotiontoresolvetheinaccuracy.

Superheroes are the perfect representation of inaccurate chemistry, or science in general, in movies. To give an example, there is an instance where Superman literally goes back in time because of his failure to save someone and I would say, disappointment with himself. It shows that he was able to do this with his super speed. For one, it is impossible for a human to attain enough speed to reverse time. Even then, scientifically, it is impossible to reverse time This is because of a topic we discussed in this subject Entropy From our lectures, I learned that entropy is the randomness of things. I also learned that, by the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the universe continuously increases along with time. With it just increasing throughout time, it means that there is only a forward motion. Moreover, it also increases for spontaneous processes and these are irreversible. Putting the two together, the entropy is increasing for the universe and for spontaneous processes; then, the process of the universe, we could say in this case time, is irreversible. Therefore, going back in time is scientifically impossible. On the other hand, from another perspective, if it were possible, then the universe as a system would be a reversible process and the entropy of the universe would not change.

Since it is impossible to go back in time, what can be done is to just learn from what has happened. We cannot go back and change what already took place, but we can use our experience to change what will happen.
