But did you know that its night sky depiction actually follows the real laws of physics? While the scene does take liberty in terms of what our eyes witness in the sky — we don’t necessarily see eddies dancing between the stars — scientists have determined those eddies indeed adhere to the laws of turbulent flow. It particularly aligns with Kolmogorov’s law, a theory of turbulence that…
