- Maritime archaeologist and historian James Delgado rates 11 shipwreck scenes in movies for realism. Delgado breaks down the accuracy of discovering and investigating shipwrecks in "Titanic" (1997), "Uncharted" (2022), "Finding Nemo" (2003), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003. He looks at the realism of nature causing shipwrecks in "Life of Pi" (2012) and "The Perfect Storm" (2000. He rates the plausibility of shipwrecking caused by deliberate attacks and equipment failures in "In the Heart of the Sea" (2015), "Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997), "The Finest Hours" (2016) and "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" (2016). He also explains the accuracy of deep-sea exploration in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" (2022).
- An inexpensive chess set can sell for $20, but a handcrafted wooden set certified for the World Chess Championship costs $500. Much of the set's value lies in just one piece: the knight. Each knight must be carved by hand to look exactly the same. Making this one piece takes two hours, and there are fewer than 10 people trained to carve knights for the championship chess sets. So, how are these chessmen made? And why are they so expensive?
