Making Fictional Science a Reality

Episode 198

Raiding tombs is tough work, which is maybe Lara Croft, the world’s most famous tomb raider, is such a jerk.  Personally I like Indiana Jones a lot better, but he was definitely not as athletic as Lara.  Sure he had the bullwhip, but Lara uses a magnetic grappling hook with the proficiency of a samurai warrior.  She is excellent at parkour, and is more agile when it comes to avoiding traps.  Let’s say she inspires you to raid tombs of your own, well there are a few things to consider.  This week we discuss the difference between puzzles and traps, the difference between a re-grappler and a de-grappler, and how to restore a painting without ruining it.
