  • Summary

  • Greetings, Earthlings! Welcome to Science-Fictionally True. I’m your host: Jimmy. I talk about the science, technology, and history behind science fiction topics. I also discuss current events about aspects of our society that are moving from science fiction to science fact. Tune in to new episodes every other Thursday at 3pm Pacific Standard Time! I started this podcast because I wanted to talk about the science that isn’t taught in textbooks. Our universe is cooler and weirder than most people think, and I want to share how interesting it all could be. I have a bachelor’s degree in physics, and I have a master’s and Ph.D. degree in materials science and engineering. In my day job, I do semiconductor research and development for a tech company (ie., we make computer chips). This podcast is based on videos on my Youtube channel.

  • Why Haven’t We Made Contact With Aliens? | Fermi Paradox 4/5

    Why Haven’t We Made Contact With Aliens? | Fermi Paradox 4/5
    May 5 2022

    In the movie Contact, Dr. Ellie Arroway is a radio astronomer who listens to radio emissions from space hoping to find evidence of alien civilizations. She eventually discovers a radio signal repeating a sequence of prime numbers sent from the Vega star system, an undisputed message from advanced extraterrestrials. So, how realistic is a situation like this? Where does science stand on making contact with aliens?

    This video is the fourth episode of a 5-part series on the Fermi Paradox. All the topics covered are based on scientific discoveries or were proposed by practicing scientists.

    Why Haven’t Aliens Visited Earth Yet? | Fermi Paradox 3/5 (Narration-only)
    Apr 21 2022

    According to the most recent Gallup polls, about one-third of Americans believe some UFOs are alien spacecrafts. Unfortunately, most scientists believe this is unlikely; however, that's not to say that scientists don't believe aliens exist. Instead, a significant fraction of them believes extraterrestrial intelligent life is out there in the Universe but just hasn't visited Earth yet. In this episode, we'll explore various reasons why aliens haven't visited Earth. Join us to find out more!
