The focus of the new “Space and Science Fiction: when fiction imagines reality” episode is the fascinating relationship between two very different worlds that often seem destined to collide. From 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar, to Alien and Dune, how much truth is there in these films that have ignited the imagination of millions of fans the world over?
Presenter Emilio Cozzi talked about it with some very special guests: astrophysicist and university Professor, Amedeo Balbi, astrophysicist and science reporter, Luca Perri, and author and astrophysicist, Licia Troisi.
The episode was live streamed via the company’s digital channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube) and is now available here.
