DIMENSION ZERO SCIENCE SCALE

MEASURING SCIENCE ON A SCALE OF 1 - 5

The Dimension Zero Science Scale is a measurement out of 5 to approximate the level of science reality within an idea, concept movie, image, art, TV show or presentation. It is designed to give the viewer a general idea as to the level of science purity within an idea or proposed system.

🟢 SCIENCE FACT - confirmed / reality
🟡 SCIENCE THEORY - RELIABLE / STRONG EVIDENCE
🔵 SCIENCE FICTION - imagination / speculative
🟣 SCIENCE FANTASY - metaphysical / magic
🔴 SCIENCE ABSURD - nonsense / MAKE UP ANYTHING

DIMENSION ZERO SCIENCE SCALE

🟢 1 - SCIENCE FACT — REALITY

Established science supported by observation, repeatable experimentation, and measurable evidence grounded by demonstrated science. This is what we call... REALITY.

• Gravity

• Black Holes

• Nuclear Fusion / Fission

• Quantum Mechanics

• Relativity

• Laws of the Universe

🟡 2 - SCIENCE THEORY — POSSIBILITY

A well supported body of knowledge. Scientifically grounded ideas that are plausible, but not yet proven, demonstrated, or fully understood. These ideas are understood to have plausibility but is not as of yet, unequivocally proven through the scientific method.

• Wormholes

• Alcubierre Warp Drives

• Dyson Swarms

• Interplanetary Human Travel

• Strange Matter

• Antimatter Propulsion

• Black hole Energy Harvesting

• Self-Replicating Space Probes

• Suspended Human Animation

🔵 3 - SCIENCE FICTION — DREAMS

Speculative concepts that respect some physics, but require major fabricated science or unknown breakthroughs. They inspire imagination, but currently have no realistic engineering path or scientific support.

• Transporters

• Time Machines

• Hyperspace

• Tractor Beams

• Force Fields

• Interstellar Human Travel

• Zero-Point Energy Extraction

• Inertial Dampeners

🟣 4 - SCIENCE FANTASY — ABSURDITIES

Science-flavored concepts that drift into metaphysics or physics handwaving. Ideas that lack any real scientific basis but explore concepts that dwell in "concept science" and not in "reality science".

• Dyson Spheres

• Miracles

• Magic

• Infinite Energy

• Free Energy Machines

• Perpetual Motion

• Impossible Scale Engineering

• Inter-Dimensional Human Travel

🔴 5 - SCIENCE ABSURD — DENIAL

Concepts that openly ignore physics, logic, engineering, or basic common sense. These ideas are grounded in "blind faith" and require no basis of proof or scientific experiment to exist. There are no definable rules and are often made up on the spot.

• Dyson Spheres

• Miracles

• Magic

• Infinite Energy

• Free Energy Machines

• Perpetual Motion

• Impossible Scale Engineering

• Inter-Dimensional Human Travel

The DZ Science Scale Asks the Question:

HOW SCIENCE-REAL IS IT?

The Dimension Zero Science Scale, or DZS SCALE, is a 5-point scale that measures anything from TV shows and movies to ideas, concepts and even images and art. It's a way of trying to understand science and its place within our society as well as pop culture influence vs reality.

DZ Science Scale

DZ Science Scale:

The DZ Science Scale is designed to rate any TV show, movie, concept, art or idea with a level of science realism.

DZ Science Score Examples:

Star Trek: 2.5 - 3.5

Stargate Universe: 3.0 - 4.5

Star Wars: 3.0 - 4.0

The Expanse: 1.5 - 2.5

Cosmos: 1.0 - 1.5

Bible / Religion: 5.0

Measuring using the DZ Science Scale is a subjective process and can use a single decimal place for added precision. How someone measures a particular idea, concept or TV show can depend greatly on their DZ Science Mind score.

EXPLORE the DZ Science Mind Scale

If someone is a "Science Denier" (level 5) on the DZ Mind Scale, their conclusions on the DZ Science Scale will likely be skewed to a higher score, believing that certain types of religious miracles or existentialism is a matter of Science Fact (Level 1) rather than Science Fantasy (Level 4), and vice versa.
