Reference excerpt

War of the Worlds: Goliath is a 2012 Malaysian animated alternate history science fiction war film directed by Joe Pearson from a screenplay he co-write with David Abramowitz, and serving as a loose sequel to H. G. Wells' 1898 novel The War of the Worlds. Produced by Tripod Group, Studio Climb and Sun Min Image Pictures, the stars the voices of Peter Wingfield, Adrian Paul, Tony Eusoff, Elizabeth Gracen, Jim Byrnes, Rob Middleton, Mark Sheppard, Matt Letscher, Adam Baldwin and other voice actors. Its title refers to the human tripod the main characters use in the film. Set in an alternate 1914, fifteen years after the events of the 1898 novel during the potential onset of the Great War as Europe's fragile alliance begins to shatter. The story follows Eric Wells commands the "Goliath," a 65-foot Achilles-class human tripod as the Martians launches a second invasion of Earth with upgraded, bacteria-resistant tripods. The film was released in 15 November 2012 in Malaysia and 7 March 2014 in the United States and received negative reviews from critics for poor animation quality, clichéd writing, and lack of emotional depth, with the Los Angeles Times calling it "violent, messily drawn and lifelessly dragging" and The New York Times calling it "remarkably uninvolving".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with War of the Worlds: Goliath

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what War of the Worlds: Goliath 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 War of the Worlds: Goliath 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 War of the Worlds: Goliath 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 War of the Worlds: Goliath

In research: War of the Worlds: Goliath 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 War of the Worlds: Goliath 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: War of the Worlds: Goliath is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 3D films, 2012 American films, 2012 English-language films, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for War of the Worlds: Goliath 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.
