Black Robe picture

Character mistake: We see in a flashback (so, early 1600s) the protagonist with his mother in Ruen, back in motherland France. She tells him she is praying to St. Joan (d'Arc; they are in front of a statue of hers). Joan d'Arc wasn't canonized until the 20th century. You could argue that in the eyes of the laymen she was already considered a saint. However, her son does not object and considers her a saint as well, doubling down on the statement even later on in Quebec when he does not have to humour his mother, and he is a Jesuit. He obviously should know better. (00:35:25)

A Brief History of Time picture

Factual error: Hawking explains how time slows as one approaches a black hole's event horizon. To illustrate this a CGI-animated analog wristwatch is shown ticking away the seconds progressively more slowly. It's the kind of watch that ticks intermittently: once each second the hand sweeps one second-long increment around the dial and then waits one more second to sweep another increment. In the animation, the frequency of the ticks lessens, but the speed at which the hand sweeps each increment stays the same. To be consistent, the sweep-speed needs to slow down just as much as the tick-frequency. (00:36:30)
