Phrenotopia | Other Worlds #1: Rise of Science Fiction & Astrobiology @Phrenotopia | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
Life on other worlds: Is it merely a fantasy playground for science fiction writers or does actual science have a say in the matter too? And how far can we even speculate about life elsewhere from a scientific point of view? When and how did mankind even become aware of the existence of other worlds and their potential inhabitants? In other words: What led to the rise of both science fiction and astrobiology?
Speculative science is the central theme of my channel, where I apply mainstream science & humanities to analyse topics as diverse as astrobiology, alternate history and pop culture symbolism. My main focus right now is on alien biosphere evolution, but I will also regularly revisit alternate history, which is the most popular topic on my channel.
