Reference excerpt

Solis is a 2018 sci-fi survival film written and directed by Carl Strathie, and starring Steven Ogg; featured in supporting voice roles are Alice Lowe, Sid Phoenix, Henry Douthwaite, Kate Coogan and Charlette Kilby. The film was released in the United States on October 26, 2018.

Plot Troy Holloway (Ogg), Milton and Lieutenant Harris are astronauts for the Orbis Mining Corporation on Aten 2024 DEC. After a space mining accident, Milton and Lieutenant Harris are killed. Holloway, a prospector and engineering technician, evacuates aboard the EEV Khapera 2 with Milton's corpse. Holloway, the lone survivor of the three, awakens and establishes contact with Commander Roberts, the new pilot of Hathor 18. The EEV beacon is down and Holloway is unable to inform Hathor 18 of his coordinates. Roberts attempts to triangulate the position of the EEV using the PLB. Roberts questions Holloway as to the extent of his medical injuries, which include a concussion. Shortly after, Roberts triangulates the beacon of the EEV and discovers Holloway's position. She informs him that the EEV's departure from DEC has set him on course for the Sun, a fact which Holloway had already assumed with the Sun visible from the EEVs window. Holloway is informed of the many damaged parts of the EEV including temperature control issues and a radiation leak. As Roberts attempts a rescue with Hathor 18, Holloway makes repairs, sustaining multiple injuries in the process. The window of the EEV begins to crack and Holloway soon begins to lose hope. He urges Roberts to turn back and avoid an attempt to rescue him in order to save her life and the life of her fellow crew members. She informs him that she has strict orders from Control to rescue at least one member of Aten 2024 DEC. As the EEV is propelled closer and closer to the Sun, Holloway continues making repairs, including one on the outside of the ship. As his oxygen levels decrease and he drifts closer to losing consciousness, he once again urges Roberts to turn back due to the risk of both vessels from the Sun, but she refuses to give up on him and tells him not to give up. Holloway informs Roberts that he will be coming through the window of the EEV and tells her to pull in front of him. She does so just as his air levels deplete. He says aloud that he is going home and readies himself as the window shatters.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Solis (film)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Solis (film) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Solis (film) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Solis (film) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Solis (film)

In research: Solis (film) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Solis (film) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Solis (film) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010s disaster films, 2010s science fiction drama films, 2010s survival films, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Solis (film) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
