    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.

    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

    War Games: What if AI Controlled Our Nukes? | S01E04
    Nov 1 2023
    WarGames (1983) Starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy and John Wood.

    I wondered if AI could ever gain the decision-making capability to become powerful enough to decide the fate of humanity through nuclear warfare as depicted in the movie WarGames. So, I talked to Noah Healy, an expert in game theory, nuclear engineering, and economics to see how plausible it really is. Join me as Noah takes us on a deep dive into the science of fiction. At the end of the episode, Noah will rank the plausibility of AI-instigated global thermonuclear war depicted in WarGames on a 1-5 scale from pure fiction- science fact.
