LOL. Road Runner cartoons so twisted my understanding of physics, it's a wonder I was ever able to free myself of those misconceptions. I mean, the obviously absurd things were obvious even to a seven-year-old. That's why they're funny. But there are a lot of little subtle things, too (to a 7-yr-old) that'll just about ruin you for ever studying physics. I really think that's why physics was so difficult for me, much harder than any math course I ever took. I did well in it, but it was brutal.

Ah, yes, the Roadrunner cartoons reinvented the laws of physics.

Actually, the beauty of science fiction is that it eventually becomes science fact. Imagining the future is the first step to making it real.
