Event description

Premiere and LIVE Q&A: Discover the science behind the technology in the James Bond films with Prof. Dr. Metin Tolan.

About this Event

Can’t wait for the release of “No Time to Die,” the new James Bond movie that is scheduled to come out in April 2021? Fasten your seatbelts and join us for UA Ruhr's and DWIH NY’s very own James Bond event!

Have you ever wondered why James Bond prefers his vodka martini shaken rather than stirred? Could an AMC Hornet perform a spiral jump over the river as in “The Man with the Golden Gun?” And what about that hyper magnetic watch in “Live and Let Die?” In his book Shaken, Not Stirred! James Bond in the Spotlight of Physics, Metin Tolan, Professor of Physics at TU Dortmund University, provides scientific and entertaining explanations for the technology represented in the 007 films. Now a lecture of the theories expounded in the book have been turned into a 60-minute video available in English.

Catch the official YouTube premiere of the film and join us for a live discussion and Q&A with Metin Tolan moderated by Hannah Kaufman, Assistant Editor at Springer Nature Books, for a deep dive into the scientific world of James Bond.
