In this article about the “science” of The Core, the authors mention that Marvin Herndon, who consulted on the movie, is “considered a maverick geophysicist”. (I assume the maverick status explains how the sun’s rays manage to vaporize the Golden Gate Bridge but leave cars intact. But I digress.)
I think that Maverick Geophysicist would make an AWESOME business card title. Right up there with Rogue Demon Hunter.
Or maybe it should become a new NBC drama: “Marvin Herndon: Maverick Geophysicist”.
