ALBAWABA - Famous astrophysicist figured out where the actual Barbie land is located based on the movie.
After the movie's release, famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson managed to find out the exact location where Barbie-Land might be located in the real world using science.
Tyson took to his Twitter to share his view on where he thinks the location is, he wrote: "In Barbie The Movie, the Moon's orientation places Barbie World between 20 & 40 degrees North Latitude on Earth."
He added: "Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 & 30 degrees. The Sun & Moon rose & set over the ocean. If it’s in the US, Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys."
His conclusion is that Barbie Land is located somewhere in Florida, however, the director of the movie previously told Architectural Digest that the design was inspired by midcentury modernism in Palm Springs.
The movie was directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the movie is set in a fictional world filled with plastic trees and bright pink houses and pink items.
Recently, Kuwait, Lebanon, Algeria, and several other countries announced that they will be banning Barbie from airing due to saying that the film promotes unacceptable behaviors, distorted societal values, and homosexuality.
The Culture Minister of Lebanon Mohammad Mortada asked the Lebanese interior ministry to ban the movie for promoting homosexuality and transsexuality, Mortada also claimed that the Warner Bros. movie supports rejecting a father’s guardianship, undermines and ridicules the role of the mother, and questions the necessity of marriage and having a family."
The film was due to be screened in Lebanon’s cinemas on August 31.
