Not sure if anyone has seen this before, but in researching some things for my new book, I ran across this website that will give scientific advice to filmmakers to make sure their film has scientific validity.
This is on the website:
"The Science & Entertainment Exchange (The Exchange) is a program of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that connects entertainment industry professionals with top scientists and engineers to create a synergy between accurate science and engaging storylines in both film and TV programming. From a quick fact check to a special briefing, The Exchange provides quick and easy access to experts from all the scientific disciplines. The goal of The Exchange is to use the vehicle of popular entertainment media to deliver sometimes subtle, but nevertheless powerful, messages about science."
All of the contact information is on the link below.

what if you don't believe in science? I write Sci Fi material that surpasses and even contradicts the science we have today. So science can't validate my ideas because I am too visionary. So visionary, blind men need glasses to see me.

Thanks for the reference site. I very much need that source. P.S. I know a reference book all WWII script writer's need: World War II Almanac 1931-1945, A Political and Military Record, Robert Goralski, Bonanza Books, 1981. A day by day account of the significant events and people, with an Appendix with data on things like, country by country deaths, and text boxes with interesting facts like hoe man y horses were used in the war, etc. For quick & dirty, I use the internet, of course, but for following closely, this is a gold mine.

This is why I love when these former posts on Stage 32 Lounges pop back up again -- The Daniels (who wrote 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' recently did a webcast with the WGA where they talked about how before they dove into writing they used resources JUST LIKE THIS to learn the science of multiverses. They said it's CRUCIAL for writers to ground their science as much as they can (while ultimately serving the story/characters and still making it a fun experience) so that film and television don't actually hurt the scientific community and how audiences view scientists, which they feel happens a good amount. Fantastic resource and advice!
So interesting Bill and Emily! Everything Everywhere All at Once was my favorite movie this year. The Exchange sounds like a great resource
