A Quantum Science.

Dortmund professor Metin Tolan, a strange scientist. For years, he investigates the stunts from 007 to its plausibility. Geschüttelter Martini, falling aircraft, magnetic clocks - so that makes the book dry physics lectures interesting.
  DDPProfessor Tolan: Big Bond fan, even for professional reasons

The new James Bond film "A Quantum Solace" Metin Tolan has been viewed twice. "The second time I discovered a lot of what I look at the first had not yet noticed," says the 43-year-old physics professor from Dortmund. The current Bond was "the temporeichste film," he had ever seen.
With the pace of Tolan knows. The professor from the Technical University of Dortmund has been growing for years, the James Bond films from physical view under the microscope. The outcome of the investigation, which he of 41 students from the University of Dortmund and co-author Joachim Stolze supports, is the book, "Shaken, not stirred."

At 240 pages illuminated Tolan is the stunts of Ian Fleming invented by British secret agents, sometimes breathtaking, often impossible, however, also appear. In sketches, diagrams and pictures, he describes the action scenes. The stunts in the current film with Daniel Craig could Tolan in his book, however, are no longer evaluated.
Incredible action scenes
Some of James Bond is from the perspective of the physicist to explain quickly. For example, his preference for shaken, not stirred martinis. "The alcohol molecules to the surface and in the first sip shaken," says Tolan. "And that is not unimportant for Bond, who is always just a sip in passing notes and then saves the world."
MY NAME IS QUIZ. BOND-QUIZ. [M] DPA; RUB; Sony Pictures / Greg Williams True Fans know their heroes. How much bond is in you? You know all about James Bond Vorleben and dislikes, his Wumm and his Gespielinnen? Test your agent qualities - in the Bond quiz. More ... Complicated, the analysis of the film from enthusiastic scientist when it comes to - especially in older Bond films - often appalling action scenes go. Tolan cites as an example a scene from "Golden Eye" with Pierce Brosnan, in this as an agent of Her Majesty with a motorcycle off a cliff fall in free fall in an airplane descent deadline and then at the last second before the crash preserved. 007 must be very lucky and very well able to calculate trajectories. The physical technical term for this is: a horizontal throw with friction.
Brosnan is Tolan favorite Bond. As in "The World Is Not Enough" is still under water in the speedboat tie the knot, is for the scientists "are simply unbeatable." He describes himself as a "physical cineastes. Dortmund are legendary in his lectures on "Star Trek". Even the blockbuster "Titanic" he has on his scientific plausibility investigated.
Star Trek, Titanic, football - all research subjects
"Learning to work, if it is something useful, or if it's fun," said Tolan credo. In lectures, he also explains what football has to do physics and decrypts the secret of bananas flank. With his happiness formula for the year 2006 and the calculation, just why Germany had to be world champion, although he was wrong. But so serious Tolan said it would not.

With Bond, he is most like. Technical Gimmicks like the invisible car, with the Q, the chief inventor of the British secret service MI6, in "Die Another Day" up all time, is the Professor of completely implausible: "A car that is just so invisible, it is science fiction. This is not scientifically investigated. "
As for the more fascinated scientists, are Q-inventions like the clock with Electromagnet with which Bond can move a spoon. "We have asked ourselves how strong this magnet to be," says Tolan. Was also calculated how much of a magnetic field in order pistol bullets distract them. "The amazing was that three seconds it takes to be a field that has."
The film will actually passed three seconds until the ball deflected from its orbit has been - "that is probably a coincidence, but for us it was a triumph."
