Sure, Pandora’s floating ‘Hallelujah Mountains’ look like a wild place to visit — but when real science is introduced to explain how they might actually exist, you realize you probably wouldn’t want to go anywhere near them.

In a new interview with Ain’t It Cool News, James Cameron reveals that such a place would suck to visit. Literally.

“Well… the floating mountains. A physicist friend of mine calculated that for a pure superconducting mountain, to break it off and float it would require a magnetic field so strong that it would rip the hemoglobin out of your blood…”

Yea, perhaps we’ll just stick to our list of 12 places that look like Pandora on Earth instead.
