Fictional Field of Science: Difference between revisions

* In the [[Marvel Comics]] ''Civil War'' series, [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Reed Richards]] helps [[Iron Man]] with the Superhuman Registration Act because he'd calculated the future of society by Psychohistory. In one issue, he explicitly stated that he'd been fascinated by Asimov's description about the discipline as a child, and as a result, had actually invented it IRL. He and Johnny even went and brought the Thinker to his HQ and showed him his equations, as aside from Reed he was probably the only one who could understand them.

* [[Dan Brown]]'s Robert Langdon is a professor of "symbology" -- which—which isn't a field of its own so much as a tiny sliver of anthropology.
