    Total Recall: Can Your Memories Be Hijacked? | S01E11
    Feb 16 2024
    I wondered if it was possible to implant memories like in the movie Total Recall. So I talked to a neuroscientist to see how plausible it was.

    Join me as Dr. Kristina Wright takes me on a deep dive into the science of fiction. At the end of the episode, Dr. Wright will rank the plausibility of memory implantation in Total Recall on a 1-5 scale from pure fiction- science fact.

    Interstellar: Time Dilation Explained | S01E10
    Jan 26 2024
    I wondered if extreme time dilation was possible like in the movie Interstellar. So I talked to an astronomy educator to see how plausible it was. Join me as Athena Brensberger takes me on a deep dive into the science of fiction. At the end of the episode Astro Athens will rank the plausibility of time dilation portrayed in Interstellar on a 1-5 scale from pure fiction- science fact.

  • Time Patriot: What if Washington Was Here Now? | S01E09

    Time Patriot: What if Washington Was Here Now? | S01E09
    Jan 11 2024
    I wondered what George Washington would say if he were here today.

    Thankfully so did author Kim Megahee. (Sorry for the mispronunciation in the episode) Kim has written several time-traveling science fiction books and is the first-ever book and author I am featuring on Reality Check.

    Time Patriot uses history and the theory of time travel to explore the plausibility of the impact Washington would have on our culture today.

    Join me as Kim takes me on a deep dive into the science of fiction. At the end of the episode, Kim will rank his opinion of Washingtons' impact on a 1-5 scale from pure fiction- science fact. #GeorgeWashington #TimePatriot #ElectionYear
