Physics professor breaks down the science of 'Stranger Things'
Trevor GrandPre unpacks the science behind “Stranger Things” season five, separating real-world physics from Hollywood spectacle. From wormholes and extra dimensions to exotic matter and interdimensional bridges, GrandPre explains where the show draws on legitimate theoretical concepts and where it stretches or abandons scientific plausibility for dramatic effect. Along the way, he offers a physicist’s perspective on how close modern theories come to the Upside Down, and why some of the series’ most imaginative ideas remain firmly in the realm of fiction.
