A new research has analyzed what are the things in the movie Avatar that comply with science and can exist in reality and what are the things that are implausible.
According to a report in Discovery News, one of the plausible stuff shown in the movie is the concept of moons that can host life.
Inhabitable moons are probably the most common place to find life in the Milky Way galaxy, simply because large moons outnumber planets by at least a factor of 10.
For example, Saturn’s giant moon Titan could be the archetype of inhabitable moons. It is as geologically and meteorologically diverse as Earth.
Another likely concept shown in the film is that biological evolution on other habitable worlds can take a different road than Earth.
In Avatar, the biosphere of Pandora supports and extraterrestrial Serengeti of diverse creatures.
The respiratory systems of many of the species appear to operate differently from ours. Bioluminescence also plays a big role in communication among organisms.
Another plausible stuff shown in the movie is that the atmosphere on other habitable worlds might be breathable for organisms of that planet, but not for human beings.
In the flick, it’s hard for humans to breath Pandora’s atmosphere and they must wear filtering apparatus.

A computer-science detective story is playing out on the Internet as security experts try to hunt down a worm called Conficker C and prevent it from damaging millions of computers on April Fool’s Day.
The anti-worm researchers have banded together in a group they call the Conficker Cabal. Members are searching for the malicious software program’s author and for ways to do damage control if he or she can’t be stopped.
They’re motivated in part by a $250,000 bounty from Microsoft and also by what seems to be a sort of ~censored~ Tracy ethic.
“We love catching bad guys,” said Alvin Estevez, CEO of Enigma Software Group, which is one of many companies trying to crack Conficker. “We’re like former hackers who like to catch other hackers. To us, we get almost a feather in our cap to be able to knock out that worm. We slap each other five when we’re killing those infections.”
The malicious program already is thought to have infected between 5 million and 10 million computers.
Those infections haven’t spawned many symptoms, but on April 1 a master computer is scheduled to gain control of these zombie machines, said Don DeBolt, director of threat research for CA, a New York-based IT and software company.
What happens on April Fool’s Day is anyone’s guess.
