Is the quantum physics in tv show flash forward bogus?

While the depiction of quantum physics in the TV show "FlashForward" may not always be completely accurate, it is used as a plot device to explore themes of consciousness and determinism. As with many science fiction shows, creative license is often taken for the sake of entertainment.


Why does the laws of classical physics break down as you approach the speed of light?

At speeds near the speed of light, the formulae from the Theory of Relativity show that there are discrepancies with classical physics - for example, in adding velocities. These discprepancies have been verified by many experiments. In theory the discrepancies arise at any speed, but if the speed is much lower than the speed of light, the difference between classical physics and the more accurate Theory of Relativity is so insignificant that it can be ignored, and you can safely use the simpler formulae of classical physics.


Is blueprint RNA or DNA?

Blueprints were used to show the instructions for constructing a building. mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) can also be thought of as a set of instructions, in this case for constructing proteins. The structure of the mRNA molecule gathers bits of amino acids in a particular order so a complete protein molecule is manufactured. Perhaps it would be a better metaphor to call mRNA a template, rather than a blueprint. Other RNA types (e.g., transfer RNA or ribosomal RNA) also play their own roles in the manufacture of new proteins.


How does a graph of average kinetic energy against kelvin temperature show that the quantities are proportional?

This sounds suspiciously like statistical thermodynamics, a graduate-level chemistry/physics class. You're probably best off consulting a good text, like McQuarrie's Statistical Thermodynamics.


Why was Galileo known as the father of experimental physics?

Galileo pioneered the idea of observation and experimentation in Physics. The "example" to show this was Aristotle theorized how many teeth was in a Horses Mouth, Galileo looked and counted the teeth. In other cases Galileo looked thru the Telescope to see the moons. Finally he experimented with inclined planes to prove that the acceleration was the same for heavy and light masses and was famous for his Leaning Tower of Pisa Experiment.
