The ‘Barbie’ movie continues to give people something to talk about. So much so that the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson got on the train to find the place in the world where the tape takes place.
the fever for Barbie It follows everything it gives, because without a doubt, it is one of the films of 2023. And it is that beyond the cinema, there are those who have tried to explain some of the things that happen in this film. Such is the case of Neil deGrasse Tyson, who used his knowledge to locate Barbie Land on this planet.
Perhaps this name does not ring a bell, but with the boom in social networks and the birth of memes, this renowned astrophysicist became an internet celebrity. However, now he got on the trend of the moment, because he began to investigate the location of the fictional world where the characters played by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling come from.
Neil deGrasse Tyson analyzed various details to locate Barbie World on this planet
We know that much of the movie Barbie takes place in Barbie Land, where everything is wonderful and pink. But Neil deGrasse Tyson wondered if this place could exist in the real world. And believe it or not, he found a specific place that could be where most of the things we see in the Greta Gerwig film happen.
Through your Twitter account (or X, as Elon Musk put it), the astrophysicist put together a thread where analyzed the position of the Sun, the Moon and even the vegetation of the film to determine where that place would be if it really existed on earth. Based on this, deGrasse Tyson determined that Barbie World would be between 20 and 40 degrees north on the planet.
The world of the Barbie movie would be very close to Mexico
What does this mean? Well, in theory, the world we see in the movie Barbie would be located roughly somewhere between the southern United States and northern Mexico… just as they read it. However, Neil deGrasse Tyson did not keep that information, because he found a specific site.
After checking the palm trees, and how they restrict the latitude between 20 and 30, the astrophysicist narrowed down the possible locations of Barbie World to West Texas or the Gulf Coast of the United States and Mexico. But later, after analyzing how the Sun and Moon set over the ocean in the film, deGrasse Tyson concluded that Barbie World is somewhere in the Florida Keys.
Although, we are clear that Barbie Land does not appear to be in any location in the real world, It’s fascinating to see a science legend like Neil deGrasse Tyson take the time to check things we may not have noticed in the movie. and above all, spend some time trying to find the wonderful world of Barbie on this planet, don’t you think?
