Ca-Caw! Ca-Caw! Tookie Tookie!

In episode 4, the guys discuss the 2001 movie Evolution. Can an object from space bring a life form onto our planet? Can we do the same to inhabit other planets? Is it possible for non carbon-based life to exist? You can also find out why Stobbie is top of the leaderboard this season.

Season 3 Episode 3 - Flat is the New Round

The Science of Fiction Podcast

04/01/20 • 57 min

The guys return to once again tackle modern fictions of science. In this episode, they jump onto the disc like object that is the Flat Earth and knock it off balance.

Forgan uses quickmaffs to prove that flat earthers are, to put it simply, wrong. The fellas also use anecdotes and evidence to strengthen the argument. Expect the usual hilarity and tangents along the way too.

Do you agree with the guys? Do they flip your world upside down like a pancake or are they missing the benefits of poor education? Get in touch at [email protected] or find us on the socials
