Here comes the science!
Strange/funny things encountered in fic/the internet:
- A character waking up and attempting to focus his retinas. Sounds painful.
- Liquid nitrogen being kept in a sealed container. Firstly, it's not a bomb, you don't have to be afraid... but it WILL be a bomb if you don't have an outlet for the pressure.
- A spoon, frozen in liquid N2, shattering with a tap. Yes, -170C is very cold, but that doesn't make every material into sugar glass, okay.
- Reference to the Black Death being caused by a virus. Yersinia pestis would like a word.
- An electron micrograph of a virus particle somehow produced by a light microscope in the field. (??!?)
- Watson and Crick discovering DNA.
... And, well, any time mutation comes up in fiction anywhere. But I've become resigned to those shenanigans. Goddamnyousomuch, Marvel. *tiny fist of hate*
