Knowing more about the physical universe opens up more options and greater capabilities for people, and for characters in cinema and fiction.
Below are some videos from Carleton University featuring learning facilities and people talking about gaining knowledge of the physical universe.
Batman (in some versions - for example the 1989 Batman movie directed by Tim Burton) is an example of a character who uses scientific knowledge to develop much more advanced capabilities than most people. Of course many characters do not have to have the financial backing to do this on such a grand scale as Batman.
Scientists have developed a method that could map water ice hundreds of
metres beneath the Moon without extensive drilling—by measuring how
moonquakes travel through the ground. Laboratory tests and simulations
suggest ice-rich soil carries seismic waves two to three times faster than
dry lunar regolith, while the current model extends to depths of about 800
metres.

Frozen regolith should accelerate, reflect and scatter ...
