...Even the pensive Bridget Jones provides an alternate solution: Maybe he’s being a “Martian rubber band which needs to stretch away in order to come back...

...rovers currently rolling across Mars may never have made it to the surface if someone who saw the plans had not begun fretting about the Martian winds the ships would encounter and argued for additional thrusters to counteract them. The thrusters were added, and the design change made all the difference. More recently, the lab was planning the less publicized Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)--a twin-satellite pas de deux designed to measure Earth's gravitational field and its effect on ocean currents. A critical step was eliminating any wobble between the ships. J.P.L. staff members had been...

The question with them was, How can you believe Catherine when she says she wrote a pioneering mathematical equation? With Paltrow the question is, How can you not? Her reading doesn't subvert the play's problem; it's just a more elegant way of reaching the solution...
