The Science of Fiction Podcast

play

11/26/20 • 57 min

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.

Do you agree with the guys? Are they on the right evolutionary path or deserving of the Head & Shoudlers treatment? Get in touch at [email protected] or find us on the socials

This week's Fiction of Science is all about Creationism. The boys ask themselves: how would they project-manage Creation? Where are the shark-bears? How can you reconcile any of this with science?

Uh oh... Professor Doctor Mister Duncan Forgan is upset, must have been because the Sun wasn't revolving around Uranus... Now that the obvious joke is out the way, join the team as they delve into the mystery and wonder of Astronomy or Astrology - whichever one tells you how your day is going to go based on planetary alignment. They share their horoscopes for that day and discuss an experiment conducted by Dave Gorman and his twin (who obviously share the same star sign) Do your star settings suggest you're ready for this episode? We hope so! Do you agree with the guys? Are they too harsh or missing the benefits of a crystal ball?

Season 3 Episode 3 - Flat is the New Round

The Science of Fiction Podcast

play

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
