We're looking at the science of the microbots from Disney and Marvel's Big Hero 6 in our latest episode.“Are you satisfied with your care?”BaymaxConsidering how the entire mission statement of our show involves the intersection of science and story, and how we love the thought of getting younger people excited about STEM, it's something of a wonder that we didn't get to Disney's Big Hero 6 sooner. While technically a superhero story and loosely based on a Marvel property, Big Hero 6 is uniquely original and as wonderfully wholesome as it is action-packed. But best of all (for our purposes, at least), it's got a central concept and plot device that absolutely beg to be unpacked from every imaginable angle.No, sadly, it's not about what makes Baymax so adorably huggable. The piece we're focusing on for today's episode is microbots and the attendant neural transmitter which controls them. This is what kicks off virtually all the action in the film, the one with the most real world parallels, and the one that we feel is the best fodder for discussion…for now. We'll get to our beloved Baymax in a future episode if enough of you ask for him!Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/Whc6qcMG1FUSUGGESTED VIEWING While there's some additional Big Hero 6 media and lore out there, we based our discussion on this episode solely on the events that take place in that movie…which is plenty good enough as it won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2015. But if you (like us) can't get enough of Baymax, there's also a Disney+ animated series focused solely on the big cuddly robot titled, appropriately, Baymax!. There's also a Big Hero 6 animated series that picks up directly after the events of the film. We're still hoping for a big screen sequel, though!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Nanobots vs. MicrobotsHakeem said it best if you're trying to understand the difference: “A nanobot is a thousand times smaller than a microbot,” although some sources seem to continue to use them interchangeably. But to give you an idea of some of the more exciting developments, there are those that can manipulate a single cell and we are inching (sorry) closer to clinical trials to deploy nano and microbots in human health care. There are reasons to believe this could end up getting us closer to a cure for cancer (yes, that's a video, but it fit better here than in our “suggested viewing” section).Brain Computer Interfaces + Nanobots = Coolness!We also covered the topic of Brain Computer Interfaces a little bit in our episodes on RoboCop and 3 Body Problem, but it's just as relevant here. Here's a refresher/overview for you.And while we're at it, this paper on the intersection of BCI's and actual nanobots for real world purposes reads like something that would actually exist in the fictional world of Big Hero 6, but it's actually real!Collective BehaviorSure, the microbots in Big Hero 6 behave in intensely coordinated ways, but you know what else already does that really well in our world? Drone shows!And The Oscar Goes To…Who says that Marvel movies aren't Academy Award worthy? This one sure was!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Big Hero 6 isn't the only Disney animated movie to tackle superheroes.

The Abyss and the Science of Breathing Underwater

It's been welcoming to see the re-evaluation of James Cameron's 1989 underwater sci-fi opus The Abyss in the last few years. While sometimes lost in the shuffle alongside his other blockbuster credits (including the similarly aquatic megahits Titanic and Avatar), The Abyss has been undergoing something of a renaissance, fueled in part by a gorgeous 4K restoration and a director's cut that adds new elements to the story. And while Cameron is known for insisting on a certain amount of verisimilitude in the technological workings of his films, The Abyss in particular utilizes one seemingly science fiction concept that is actually science fact to such an effective degree that they actually demonstrate it in the movie for real.And that's the science of breathing underwater. We don't mean with scuba gear. We mean actually allowing your lungs to fill with liquid and extracting the oxygen and expelling the carbon dioxide. And if that sentence doesn't make you nervous enough, we're also going to get into what an elaborate and arduous experience filming The Abyss was for its cast and crew.All this and more on the latest waterlogged episode of Does it Fly?…https://youtu.be/kki6j_LsBHo?si=fe4yKP7dGxmhxZKxSUGGESTED VIEWING Believe it or not, there are two versions of The Abyss. There's the original theatrical cut which runs at about two hours and 15 minutes, and it's the one that most of you are probably the most familiar with. But there's also a director's cut which came a little later that adds about a half hour of additional story and detail to the already packed film. Normally, we tend to find that theatrical cuts are edited the way they are with good reason, but when James Cameron decides he wants to get nerdier and more in-depth (sorry) with a story like this, we give him the benefit of the doubt.Not only that, if you get a chance to watch that director's cut in its 4K restoration, well, you're really in for a truly immersive (sorry, sorry) experience. Never mind the additional story beats and background details about a world on the brink of war, The Abyss is just a stunning visual and technical achievement, and having this restoration lovingly overseen by Cameron makes it a must watch, even if you're already familiar with the original.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! In With the Good Air…To get your head around the science of breathing underwater, you first might want to have a better understanding of how your lungs function for their generally intended purpose.Breath of WaterThe science of “liquid ventilation” is indeed very real and there are scientific studies and practices surrounding it. You can read an overview of that here. In particular you might want to check out information on perfluorocarbon which is what they're using and studying to make this happen. Even more info can be found here. (And yes, as you'll see, the scene with the rat in The Abyss was absolutely real).Filming The Abyss Was No Sea CruiseSome details on the physically arduous process of filming an underwater movie of this scale can be found here.About That ResponseThe folks making this movie took its science so seriously that they wouldn't let a critic's accusation that they were scientifically inaccurate stand. The fun response Tamara cites can be found here.DragonflySomehow, Hakeem seems to have undersold just how cool this space exploration program really is.

The Horrifying Reality of THE MATRIX

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 21, 2025 41:31

Released in 1999, The Matrix has become a timeless sci-fi classic. Whether it's the groundbreaking visual effects, the positively bonkers action sequences, or the disturbing looks at a world that has been consumed by AI and virtual experiences, there's something that will resonate with just about any member of the audience, even a quarter century after its initial box office success. But there's one moment in particular that perfectly illustrates the true horror at the heart of The Matrix. Since the titular concept of the film can only exist because humans have all been placed in a form of stasis, with their very bodies used to power the machines that now rule the world and create their shared reality, the big reveal of how that works needs to be suitably disturbing. And boy, does it deliver. When Neo (Keanu Reeves) chooses to wake up to actual reality, he's revealed as a hairless body, covered in goo, with feeding and breathing tubes stuffed down his throat. While not quite the iconic moment that the bullet time fights and martial arts sequences are, it might very well be the most powerful moment in the film or its sequels.It's a moment that has stayed with us for over 25 years, which is why today we're asking the question: does the human body really generate enough electrical power to essentially serve as a battery?Take the red pill in the latest episode of Does it Fly? for the answers…https://youtu.be/9e-CZiFpd6oSUGGESTED VIEWING We based the majority of today's discussion just on the first film in the franchise, which is, of course, 1999's The Matrix. If you need a viewing order, it's followed by The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions in 2003. But we've gotta say, you're missing out if you don't check out the bizarre and cool The Animatrix, which fills in a lot of backstory. And count us among the folks who think 2021's The Matrix Resurrections is a much sharper movie than it gets credit for.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! The Simulation ArgumentEver wonder if you're living in a computer simulation? The roots of that argument come from Nick Bostrum and the details on it can be found here.How Much Power Output From Humans?Believe it or not, there have been respectable studies about the potential for the human body to generate power for small devices from everyday activities. A summary can be found here with some more in depth information here. Somewhat related, it's worth considering the difference between the efficiency of solar energy power and the use of power from biofuels.The Matrix Starter PackThere are three books that are key to understanding the themes of The Matrix, and it seems they were required reading on set of the film. They are: Jean Baudrillard's 1981 philosophical treatise Simulacra and Simulation, William Gibson's seminal work of cyberpunk fiction Neuromancer (which has yet to get the screen adaptation it deserves), and 1995's Out of Control by Kevin Kelly.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For a more recent take on a sci-fi dystopia, allow us to recommend our Squid Game episode!The disturbing practical effects of the Neo awakening scene does recall some of the more unsettling cyberpunk aspects of RoboCop, which we covered here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

“I've got a bad feeling about this.”Han Solo (wait…wrong franchise!)Ever just get one of those feelings? A faint chill, a little crawling of the skin that tells you that maybe the path you're currently on is the wrong one and that something terrible is about to happen. You've heard the saying “like someone just walked over my grave,” right? Well, some Hollywood genius decided to build an entire film franchise around this concept with Final Destination and the franchise is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary and gearing up to release its sixth film (Final Destination Bloodlines) later this year!That first Final Destination movie is packed with memorable moments. And gruesome as some of them are, most of the deaths in Final Destination are things we've all lost sleep over, whether it's a mid-air disaster, a bus accident, and others. But unlike other horror movies, it isn't about the deaths so much as it is about Death…the very personification of Death, who isn't amused when someone sees what's coming and escapes their fate. And while you probably don't have to worry too much about Death itself taking revenge on you, the concept of precognition, the ability to see or sense events before they happen, isn't as far-fetched as you might think. We have a scientist to dig into that, and a pop culture expert to make sure that Death's plans all vibe on screen. What have our hosts foreseen? Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? to find out!https://youtu.be/fOHjYRr4S_ISUGGESTED VIEWING There are five (currently released) Final Destination movies, but we focused our discussion this episode on the first film, 2000's Final Destination from director James Wong who also had a hand in the screenplay with Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Clairvoyance and PrecognitionJust like Hakeem says about his own experiences, scientific study of these phenomena isn't getting laughed out of the room in academia these days. Will that continue? Well, we've got a feeling…Cognition + Time = ?To be fair, Hakeem didn't present this exactly as an equation, but these are the two key components of precognition. Key to this is “the relativity of simultaneity” which has weirdly come up in other episodes, but is particularly relevant here. See also: The Andromeda ParadoxQuantum EntanglementWe're not entirely sure we follow Hakeem here, but it seems to involve both you and your future self. Which isn't strictly the definition of quantum entanglement, but it's still pretty awesome!The True Story of Final Destination Well…sorta! But as Tamara pointed out, one of the writers did indeed have this movie percolating for a while because of an allegedly real event. Imagine how different things would have been had this movie only ended up as an episode of The X-Files.

What if the Bible isn't meant to be neatly packaged and easily explained? In this episode, CHT Fellow Hakeem Bradley joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to discuss how engaging scripture means leaning into tension rather than eliminating it. He explains why asking better questions leads to deeper understanding and why forcing Jesus into every Old Testament passage can sometimes do more harm than good. Bradley also shares his personal story—growing up in the Five Percent Nation, a movement that sees the Black man as divine, and how a surprising mentorship relationship led him to faith in Jesus. His journey from deep skepticism to biblical scholarship gives him a unique perspective on how to approach scripture without assumptions or shortcuts. The conversation explores how biblical authors thought, why Jesus himself had to read scripture in context, and how reading the Bible as a tension-filled conversation—rather than a collection of easy answers—can reshape faith and theology.

RoboCop may be “the future of law enforcement” but he might also be much closer to reality than anyone ever dreamed or feared. Join us as we unpack this classic 1987 movie and the central concept that drives it.“Come quietly or there will be…trouble.”Officer Alex J. Murphy (R.I.P.)This episode of Does it Fly? is brought to you by our friends at Omni Consumer Products, who would like to encourage you to visit beautiful Delta City, Michigan, America's safest place to live…or else!Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987) is genuinely one of the finest science fiction films of the 1980s. Its unique blend of biting satire and over-the-top violence and gore set it apart from the endless parade of Reagan-era hyper violent action movies and the unique “media breaks” and corporate culture feel remarkably (perhaps disturbingly prescient) almost 40 years after release. Hell, we might even argue that the cynical vision of the future on display in RoboCop was too optimistic given the state of the world these days, but that's neither here nor there.Because the central conceit of RoboCop, using cybernetics to enhance a human for the specific purpose of perfecting law enforcement, may have seemed like the stuff of science fiction in 1987, but it's a little closer to the realm of science fact today. Just how close is another story, but that's for our hosts, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi and Tamara Krinsky, to decide.

There is one perfect movie from director Paul Verhoeven and then there are fainter and fainter echoes in the form of two big screen sequels (and one reboot), a pair of live action TV series, one average (if bizarre) animated series and one truly unwatchable one. Seriously, the 1987 movie is an all-time genre classic and is not to be missed, and that's the crux of our discussion in this episode.But there's also a truly amazing four part documentary about the making of that film called, appropriately, RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, which somehow manages to be every bit as compelling as the movie itself. Highly recommended for those who want to get an almost Tamara-like deep knowledge of this brilliant film.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode?

“No capes!”Edna ModeIt's hard to believe that in this age where superhero movies have conquered (and some might say ruined) moviegoing in ways that never seemed possible even 20 years ago, but Disney and Pixar's The Incredibles was truly a revolutionary superhero movie. An animated film utilizing all original characters that lovingly plays with all of the tropes of the superhero genre in suitably comedic ways without ever drifting into parody? Unthinkable at the time and still feels pretty fresh today!But one of the best things The Incredibles (and its underrated sequel, The Incredibles 2) did, almost for the first time ever on the big screen, was explore the logic of superhero costumes. Even though it's a family-friendly animated movie, in The Incredibles, super suits are more than just decorative, they're functional, and thanks to the hilarious and unforgettable Edna Mode, we learned just why some of the favorite design elements of many beloved superhero costumes are strictly forbidden in this world.So on this episode of Does it Fly? we are taking a look at the very concept of the super suit. Not just the why of them in terms of the story, but the how in terms of design and functionality. And as we often do find, we're a lot closer to certain elements in the real world right now than you might think…SUGGESTED VIEWING We based the majority of today's research on this episode on two legitimate animation masterpieces, Brad Bird's The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2. The broader logic of superhero suits has been explored in countless other places, but it's particularly well done in early episodes of The Flash (both the recent CW TV series starring Grant Gustin and the earlier 1990 version starring John Wesley Shipp). We'd like to think that everything discussed in today's episode is applicable across superhero media, though, so feel free to use our findings in your own headcanon as and where appropriate!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Building the Perfect Super SuitHakeem specifically calls out brand names such as Kapton and Kevlar as being potential “super suit materials” that already exist in the real world. You might recognize Kapton as the material used to make “space blankets” but its unique thermal and conductive properties also make it a key piece used in circuitry where significant heat can be generated by processing power. Kevlar is best known as the material used to make lightweight bulletproof vests and other types of modern body armor. Copper has also shown considerable promise as an antimicrobial that can be incorporated into other materials.Whether or not you have elastic powers, you might want to incorporate technology known as Shape Memory Materials which are currently being perfected by NASA. Many of the materials named here fall under the category of “metamaterials” which will likely become more commonplace in the years to come.Oh yeah, and maybe one day some of these can make you invisible, too. And those “biomimetic sharkskin suits” that Hakeem references? The jury is still out on them.Why The Incredibles is HistoricTamara brings up the fact that The Incredibles was the first Pixar movie about human characters because of the difficulty in getting the subtleties of humans, such as hair, to look convincing on screen. Read more about it here.The Geneva ConventionsHakeem makes the point that superhero suits could also be seen as a way to identify “combatants” similar to the protections offered to soldiers under the Geneva Conventions.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?This isn't the first time we've tackled superheroes on Does it Fly? so you might want to check out our episodes on Batman, The Boys, and Iron Man to get a better sense of the real world concerns that superheroes (and villains) might face.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

The Surprising Science of Disney's Snow White and True Love!

From the poison apple to the kiss that awakens Snow White to a philosophical and scientific exploration of the nature of love itself, this episode has it all!“Zzzzzzz…”Snow White (circa 1939)Ah, love is in the air. Someday, YOUR prince (or princess) will come, dear Does it Fly? fans. Of this, we are certain. Why? Because even something as seemingly metaphysical as love, like everything else in the universe, is governed by certain scientific principles! Crazy, right?When we first started thinking about the concept of “true love's kiss” as most famously depicted in the 1939 Disney animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (not to mention countless other versions of the story), we were more concerned with the actual mechanisms of the poison in the apple that renders poor Snow White comatose, and what it would take to deliver an antidote solely via a gentle kiss on the lips. And while we do indeed cover all of that in the latest episode, our discussion spirals outward into broader philosophical discussions about the very nature of love itself! In the process, we learn a bit more about both of our hosts, and maybe (choking back tears) a little about ourselves, too!Check out the latest weirdly romantic and wistful episode of Does it Fly? now!SUGGESTED VIEWING We based the main part of our discussion for this episode on the Disney's 1939 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But while you're at it, give 2007's Enchanted a look, which gives a number of the classic Disney princess (and Snow White specifically) tropes a new spin!To take things a little further afield, if you want to know the origins of the term “true love's kiss” as far as we know, it goes back to William Shakespeare's Richard III. Sir Laurence Olivier's 1955 screen version is generally considered to be the finest version of it to make it to film. Get some culture in your life!And if you really want to get out there, Hakeem mentions Sam Harris' exploration of MDMA and the concept of love in many forms, which is explored here.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Smelling SaltsWe're willing to bet that everyone has seen smelling salts used in cartoons or old movies but few of you have actually experienced them. Here's how they work, though.“Love Brain”Ah, say those words that every girl longs to hear… “oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin.” OK, maybe not those words exactly. That being said, the matter of “chemistry” when it comes to love and sexual attraction is in fact a literal thing! Let the big brains at Harvard explain.Consent and Snow WhiteFor a nuanced take on one of the questions that has come up around the matter of “true love's kiss” check out this article Tamara found in The Princess Blog!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?You know what pairs really well with this episode?

The Biggest Science Flaw in Invincible

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 7, 2025 51:21

There's one big reason why Invincible season 3 will never be the realistic superhero animation that it truly wants to be...“It's like peeing your pants on purpose!”Omni-Man“Iconic” is a word that's overused to the point of meaninglessness, but it's pretty safe to say that the power of flight is the one most associated with being a superhero. There were plenty of super strong heroes in myth, legend, and even popular culture for centuries, but combining that with the power to defy gravity and fly is where what we know of as a “superhero” really begins to take shape. Even Superman, in his earliest stories, couldn't outright fly, and was instead “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,” a power often described as being limited to about 200 yards at a time. Eventually, self-directed flight became more convenient from a storytelling perspective…not to mention cool.Sure, there have been plenty of “explanations” given for superheroic flight in various stories through the years, but nobody has ever tried to fully explain the reasoning behind it as well as Invincible. Originally a brilliant comic from Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, it has been adapted into an equally brilliant adult animated series on Prime Video. With Invincible season 3 now finally here, we thought it might be a good time to take a look at the Invincible concept of self-directed humanoid flight, whether it makes sense in the story, and if there's any scientific hope whatsoever that one day humans might be able to shake loose the bonds of gravity.Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? for the answers to these questions…WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/FlILlAncxZQSUGGESTED VIEWING Look, all of Invincible on Prime Video is masterful superhero storytelling. Less nihilistic than The Boys but every bit as thought-provoking and violent, you really need to check it out. That being said, pretty much everything you need to know about the rules of flight as they're portrayed in this show come from the first three episodes of season one. But trust us, you'll want to watch more.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! The Law of Conservation of MomentumNot to spoil everything right up front, but this basic law of physics pretty much crushes our dreams of ever flying like Invincible. Let NASA explain…they would know!GravityGravity is another one that's kind of tough to get around. Again, we figured NASA probably has the best explanation here.Spacetime DiagramsThere's no easy way to summarize these, but especially for our audio-only listeners who couldn't see our visualization, this should help.“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”For some variations and historical context on that Archimedes quote go here!Birds do it. Bees do it…But we can't? That's not fair! Here's how birds and insects are able to fly, though.And for the non-scientific stuff…The article that Tamara quotes about the matter of making Mark Grayson bi-racial in the TV series can be read in full here.Hakeem refers to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, a truly incredible podcast which did a series on World War I called “Blueprint for Armageddon” which can be found here. We're big fans. And also, do not forget that Invincible was an AMAZING comic long before it was a TV series. Need something to while away the long wait between new Invincible seasons? Want to get even further ahead in the story? Invincible from Image Comics is the way to go.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?This isn't the first time we've tackled superheroes on Does it Fly? so you might want to check out our episodes on Batman, The Boys, and Iron Man to get a better sense of the real world concerns that superheroes (and villains) might face.

What the BEST Star Trek Movie Gets WRONG About Science!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock are built around one key piece of technology which may or may not have real world implications.“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!”Admiral James Tiberius Kirk, 2285There are countless reasons why fans love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Up until that point, it was the most action-packed installment of Star Trek ever put on screen, so that certainly has something to do with it. William Shatner delivers an all-time great career performance in this one as Admiral James T. Kirk, full of downright Shakespearean drama with his old enemy, the diabolical Khan Noonien Singh. It's got at least one of the most memorable, shocking, and poignant moments in franchise history. Or maybe it's just Ricardo Montalban's magnificent chest. Who's to say?But possibly lost amidst all that magnificence is the fact that The Wrath of Khan is built around a truly great piece of science fiction with the Genesis Device. A project designed to help Starfleet terraform barren worlds is also potentially the ultimate weapon in the galaxy, given that in creating new life it first has to wipe out anything else that's there. Of course the wrong people want to get their grubby mitts on it!In this episode we're diving into just what it would take to truly terraform an alien world, and whether the Genesis Device follows its own rules in the Star Trek universe. Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…SUGGESTED VIEWING Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanYou mean to tell us you're watching or listening to a Roddenberry podcast and you somehow haven't seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? We sure hope you watched it before this episode spoiled the absolute hell out of it for you! But in all seriousness, there's a reason this is the most critically acclaimed and beloved Star Trek movie of all time and why we chose it for this week's topic. Star Trek III: The Search for SpockBut also, you can't watch The Wrath of Khan (or get a full picture of the scope of the Genesis Device's implications) without also watching Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Forget that even number/odd number nonsense about the Star Trek movies, this one is just as essential!Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 22 “Space Seed”And just in case you've never done this, we also highly recommend “Space Seed” which first introduced Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh. It doesn't have anything to do with terraforming in space, but it's a classic bit of Star Trek lore, nonetheless!The Evolution of Planet EarthWant a real life taste of what the Genesis Device does…except over the course of millions/billions of years instead of minutes/hours? This video is pretty cool.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! TerraformingWhile still primarily a science fiction concept, the idea of using terraforming to make a planet or moon into something that can support life as we know it is gaining considerable steam as we look to our nearest neighbor, Mars. See also: Bionengineering“Is there life on…Venus?”Wait, that's not how the song goes! But the key here is that while Mars gets all the attention as the planet in our solar system with the most potential to support life, there's also a chance that Venus could, as well. Key to that is the presence of phosphine in the atmosphere, which scientists have gone back and forth on, but recently found new evidence that it may be present.“PIXAAAAAAR!”Read more about that funny connection between a beloved animation studio and these beloved Trek movies here.“Colonized by earth bacteria”It doesn't take long, just to give you an idea of how quickly “life finds a way.”The Mars TrilogyTamara brings up Kim Stanley Robinson's acclaimed trilogy about terraforming our nearest planetary neighbor, Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. There's also the follow-up The Martians which is a collection of short stories that expands this universe further.Project Hail MaryAnother Tamara recommendation this week is the Hugo Award-nominated Project Hail Mary from sci-fi author Andy Weir. You might also recognize Weir's name as the author of The Martian, which was adapted into a beloved film from director Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.The Wrath of Khan: The Novel!Even if you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan dozens of times, Vonda N. McIntyre's superb novelization of the film is full of surprises that will enrich your understanding of the story and your love of Trek in general. For extra credit, follow it up with her equally great (possibly better than the film it's based on!) novelization of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Go back to the very beginning with the first ever episode of Does it Fly? which tackled another iconic Star Trek concept: the transporter.
