But how big Astronomers have struggled with this question for millennia, and their view of the known universe has steadily grown to immense and incomprehensible sizes. Its an important question, and a basic part of our grasp of the universe itself. To study astronomy, its essential to understand whats out there, how everything relates, and where we fit in the universe. The problem is that the size scales, the relative general sizes of classes of objects, are too foreign for things much larger than Earth. In a big universe, this can be a challenge. To tackle the problem, lets try to connect the familiar life size world around us with the unfamiliar cosmic size scales. If youre a student, you probably watch your instructor write on the chalkboard almost every day. The chalkboard is something youre much more familiar with than the whole universe because you can see it and touch it. You know the size of the board, the chalk, the markings, the eraser, and so on because theyre right at hand. How much bigger is the board than a dot made on the board with a piece of chalk It turns out that the answer is about a thousand, for an average sized chalkboard, and a fair sized chalk dot. Now lets consider something thats a thousand times the size of a blackboard. A blackboard is a few meters across, so we want to think about something a few kilometers across. Thats something like the size of a small city. If a city is 1. 00. In this way we will now step out from the city into the larger universe. With each step, we will consider something very roughly a thousand times larger than the last step. As we move out, each stop in our journey will be much smaller than the next, like a mark on a chalkboard. A city is much larger than the blackboard we used as a reference point, but its still something we are very familiar with. Many people drive across part of their home city and back again every day. Its possible to drive through most small cities in a half hour or so, even with stoplights, and it only takes a few hours to walk from one end to the other. As promised, the next step out will be much larger and farther from our everyday experience. Our next stop will have a size of several thousand kilometers, and thats the size of Earth. In a car, you can drive across a city in less than an hour, even at a slow speed. If you could drive around the Earth at a speed of 6. Remember, driving through a small city at 6. Seventeen days is much, much longer than a few minutes. The fastest jets, which have a top speed of about 2,0. At that speed, you could circle the Earth in 1. Even speeds like that will quickly become inadequate as we continue moving out into the universe. The size of Earth is typical of the sizes of the rocky planets, the terrestrial planets, but planets made mostly of gas such as Jupiter and Saturn are larger by a factor of several to ten. In general, we can expect the same kinds of things to have similar properties. Given no other information about a planet, we might guess its radius to be the same as Earths. If we knew that our imaginary planet were a much larger gas giant, we might change our estimate and guess that the planet has the same radius as, say, Saturn. This size scale represents the vast majority of human experience. Only a small number of people have ever been in Earth orbit, and these people remained very close to Earth. Most of the satellites launched remain very close to Earth. The shuttle, for example, orbits at an altitude of only a few hundred kilometers a few percent of the radius of Earth. Some spacecraft are sent to other planets or to the Moon, but the majority stays at the scale of this step in our journey. Only 2. 4 people the Apollo astronauts have ever left Earths orbit to visit the next stop on our journey. This illustration shows the Earth and the Moon scaled to their relative sizes and distances. The two are very small and far apart, and the Earth Moon system is surrounded by huge expanse of empty space. This view is only a small piece of the fifth step in our journey, and Earth is already becoming very tiny. As we continue to move out, we reach a size of about 1. Earth. The distance to the Moon is about 3. Earth, so the Moon is easily within reach in this step, but theres little else in the remaining distance. The nearest planets, Mars and Venus, are out of our reach. Aside from the Earth and Moon, we find the space in the neighborhood Earth to be almost completely empty, with only the occasional passage of an asteroid or comet. Although the Moon seems nearby when we consider the huge space surrounding the Earth Moon system, we should remember that the Earth and Moon are really very far apart. If we could get in a car and drive to the Moon, the trip would take five months of driving nonstop, 2. The Disaster Artist Variety. Like such kindred spirits in quantity over quality as Tyler Perry and Joe Swanberg, James Franco has made a crapload of movies. Sooner or later, he was bound to deliver a good one. But who would have thought his adaptation of Greg Sesteros The Disaster Artist, an outrageous blow by blow account of the actor turned authors friendship with the aggressively untalented and infinitely enigmatic creator of one of the worst movies of this century The Room writer director star Tommy Wiseau would turn out to be the best and most professional entry on his own rsum Thats a claim not without caveats, mind you. The version that world premiered at the South by Southwest film festival was presented as a work in progress where it killed to a room full of The Room obsessives, many of whom stuck around for a midnight screening of Wiseaus disasterpiece. And even though IMDb lists no fewer than 3. Franco which doesnt include practically any of his multimedia art projects, from the Sundance launched live reading of a classic Threes Company episode, to the Berlin gallery screened short he made wearing a dildo on his nose, the bar had been set pretty low. Franco is a filmmaker whose ideas are nearly always more interesting than their execution, so fans of The Room had reason to be concerned when he announced his intention to do The Disaster Artist. Would this be just another patience trying goof from the prolific prankster a half baked, fun to make movie that audiences would find insufferable to watch Fortunately, the answer is No, The Disaster Artist is a real movie, backed by a legitimate studio Warner Bros. New Line division, featuring a handful of bona fide Oscar nominees, boasting a genuine capacity to delight, whether or not the audiences in question have seen The Room. And as a bonus, it makes a fascinating addition to his growing oeuvre of self immolating performance art. Just as Johnny Depp gave his career best performance as Z movie auteur Ed Wood, Franco achieves what could become his most iconic role surpassing even Spring Breakers rapper Alien as Tommy Wiseau, international man of mystery. Just who was Wiseau, you ask When The Room opened in June 2. Testament Greenhouse Effect Back Patch. Harlequin Romance cover gone horribly wrong, and who sounds like he might have been raised in Transylvania. Though Wiseau had four walled two Los Angeles screens to give The Room an Oscar qualifying run, fewer than 2. A withering Variety review blasted the overall ludicrousness of a film whose primary goal, apparently, is to convince us that the freakish Wiseau is actually a normal, everyday sort of guy. But then a funny thing happened Ever so gradually, word got out about just how awful the movie was how this near tragic waste of an estimated 6 million budget might be appreciated as an accidental comedy and audiences started coming to see for themselves. Bakugan Game For Gameboy Advance on this page. In time, attendees many of them regulars got bolder and more cruel, shouting back at the screen and devising routines that transformed Wiseaus ineptly miscalibrated melodrama into a Rocky Horror Picture Show esque audience participation phenom. But as The Rooms popularity grew, so too did the questions that surrounded it Who was its perplexing outsider auteur Why did every creative decision hed made on the film seem to contradict how any semi competent filmmaker might have handled it And how did he feel about being laughed at for a movie that seemed to take itself so seriously Granted, Wiseau has unusually thick skin that much is clear just looking at the leathery actor, whose shield your eyes love scenes are the apotheosis of gratuitous sex and nudity but theres a vulnerability to the man that makes him fascinating. What must it be like to get inside Wiseaus head That is both the genius and central failing of Francos The Disaster Artist adaptation, which gave the actor the opportunity to spend several weeks lost in character. Co star Dave Franco, who plays Sestero, claims that his brother disappeared for the duration of production. Much as he did on his Method earnest 2. TV James Dean biopic, Franco uncannily reinvents himself in the guise of his subject this time, for comic, rather than tragic effect. But what insights did he learn while deep inside And how did he miss the dimension that could make the seemingly alien Wiseau a normal, everyday sort of guy Its all there in Sesteros source material, as the book, however damning, happens to be written by Wiseaus best friend arguably the only man on earth who can empathize with and possibly understand the riddle behind The Room. Sestero is one of those dime a dozen 62 Hollywood hunks with good looks to spare and no acting talent to speak of. Dave Franco, on the other hand, is Tom Cruise tiny, an adorable, slightly less stoned looking Mini Me version of brother James. Watching them appear side by side, its hard not to be distracted by their nearly identical smiles, making it nearly impossible for Franco the elder to exploit the obvious that Wiseau had some sort of asexual man crush on Sestero, whom he called Babyface. The Disaster Artist begins in 1. Sestero butchering a scene from Waiting for Godot in a San Francisco acting class taught by Melanie Griffith the first of many laugh on recognition cameos by screen legends was dazzled by Wiseaus epically over the top interpretation of the Stella scene from A Streetcar Named Desire, delivered in an impossible to place European accent. No one else in Sesteros acting class knew what to make of Wiseau, but Sestero made friends, and the subsequent scenes are as hilarious as one could hope though somehow lacking in the human dimension. To this day, Wiseau remains a tragically misunderstood character, drawn to a career for which he is uniquely unsuited. It wasnt just the accent he claims to be from New Orleans, or his potato skin looks he says hes Sesteros age 1. Wiseau could barely remember his lines, and when he spoke, the syntax was almost Yoda like in its peculiar garbling of the English language. The script by 5. Days of Summer co writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber doesnt shy away from moments of abject humiliation, as when an L. A. acting teacher Brett Gelman candidly advises him to abandon his leading man dreams and instead try to land villain roles Have you looked at yourself You have a malevolent presence, he tells Wiseau. And then, of course, theres the films eventual premiere, when Wiseau first endures the feeling of having audiences laugh at his work, for which he had bared his soul and burned several million dollars of a fortune whose origins are anybodys guess although such nosy person Sesteros best guess in the book, involving a shady business called Street Fashions USA, isnt even mentioned in the film. The Disaster Artist takes a curiously long time to get to the actual making of The Room, and one might expect all that lead up during which Sestero and Wiseau move to L. A., where they share the latters one room pied terre to serve in establishing the foundation for the dysfunctional buddy movie this really ought to be. But somehow, in accentuating Wiseaus weirdness, Franco overlooks his soul.
