The Core

Character mistake: The word "Storyboard" in "Storyboard Artists" during the end titles is misspelled "Stroryboard". (02:05:00)

Character mistake: When Rat is in the Cyber ​​​​Cafe, just after he has pressed enter on his computer to send the file "unsung heroes.doc" over the Internet, the message "on it's way" appears on the computer screen, but the correct message would be "on its way."

Character mistake: When Zimsky talks about using DESTINI again, he says something like "a shock can stop a heart, and it can also restart it." That is a fundamentally false assumption that TV and movies get wrong all the time. Once a heart has actually stopped you can never shock it back. You can only shock a heart that is out of normal rhythm.

Suggested correction: The premise is the core, like a heart, is still beating. A shock destabilizes the rhythm of the heart, and without further help, the heart will stop beating. Destini did this to the core by sending a shock and destabilizing the core and without help, the core would stop spinning. A shock to a destabilized heart can shock and restart the heart back to normal rhythm. That is the theory of Destini restarting the core. At no point has the core or the heart fully stopped or flatlined.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: On the ship, Dr. Zimsky reveals that project DESTINI is an acronym and that the last letter is "I" and not "Y." (INI standing for INItiative). When Rat is at his computer, he goes to the website for Project Destiny, with a "Y" and not an "I." This same thing happens when the Project Destiny subtitle flashes across the screen.

Questions

Question: If the core stopped spinning, where would all the kinetic energy that keeps it spinning go? Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Answer: For one thing, the rotation of the core is almost identical to (if not a bit faster than) the rotation of the rest of the planet; so the core coming to a stop relative to the rest of the planet is physically impossible. Over billions of more years, the Earth's core and mantle may eventually cool off and solidify (as has happened on Mars), but the core will still be rotating at the same velocity as the rest of the planet. By that time, of course, Earth will have also lost its Moon, so there will be no tidal forces between the Earth and Moon, which means the planet will be seismically dead, but the Earth will still be rotating on its axis. For the time being, though, it would literally take a miracle, an act of divine intervention, to overcome the physics of planetary rotation. If the core could somehow be stopped relative to the rest of the planet (which is physically impossible), then the core's energy would quite quickly be dissipated into the Earth's mantle, which would become an unimaginable inferno (much more so than it already is), propagating seismic and super-volcano activity all over the globe by a factor of, say, 10,000 times normal activity. The Earth's crust would be effectively ripped to shreds by super-earthquakes and eruptions within a matter of hours, perhaps even causing the entire globe to disintegrate into space. As mentioned, though, it would require something on the order of a true miracle to precipitate this chain of events.

Answer: The same place it goes normally: dissipated into the Earth.
