Science fiction and science innovation have been intertwined since sci-fi's origins. What has been your favorite example of fiction turning into reality with the help of science?

[@NOxBODY007]

Please make more videos on that topic . It's really good to see the world .

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

A.I. However, following the Commander Data example, the real A.I. will exist when a computer/android/etc. start to make questions about its/his/her own existence, meaning and destiny.

[@mervesali13]

I guess the combination of AI and human shaped robot “will” be my favourite.

[@underdogboy9752]

Parallel universes

[@hydrolito]

Wizard of Oz used hologram before Star Wars although they also wore special glasses.

[@rea8585]

Another proof that you can get inspiration from all kinds of people and places 😊

[@NatGeo]

It's amazing to see a dream turn into a reality!

Writer's curiosity fuels their fiction and their fiction fuels an inventers curiosity to make it real!..... The bright side of humanity is amazing

[@Its.just.mee3]

Agree!

[@NatGeo]

Amazing what humanity can accomplish when we have curiosity to steer us!

[@rajamouryasimhareddy1478]

@@NatGeo oh wow😍, thanks for replying,iam a big fan of nat geo. i literally watch your channel everyday atleast for 3hrs.....Iam very happy right now😁

I learned that the pacemaker was invented by mistake when a researcher was inventing an oscillator to record heart sounds when he pulled the wrong resistor out of a box. When he assembled his device, it began to give off a rhythmic electrical pulse. It was then he realized his invention could be used as the pacemaker.

[@petertrypsteen]

Who'd have thought the pacemaker is an accidental discovery.

[@louishundred1812]

Waaaaoo Amezing Love Your Channel 👍😙💫

[@Shreya-iv9nc]

I love this video. Awesome!!!

[@chefkreativ2951]

Whenever you think something it comes into being one way or another. By thinking you are impacting all reality more than we have the ability to currently understand.

[@preetinagpuria9936]

Can I just state the fact that the music chosen for this documentary was actually really really nice

[@jennykhan4016]

A great thank you bcz after watching all video I get lots of knowledge ..

[@NatGeo]

Thank you for watching! We're happy to know you learned something new.

[@AshThumbsUp]

[@barbaracoleman6641]

OMG! To see all those sci-fi authors I grew up reading! I had to pause this vid and gawk for a minute.

[@NatGeo]

We're happy to know you heard some familiar names! Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@ScottSwalwell]

Anything is possible and science fiction movies push past any limits we normally have and spark ideas of hey, maybe we can do that

[@pakornjuergens431]

Woah!

[@zayd7772]

Nice one it inspires me too.

[@fernandakim6213]

Sensacional

[@Its.just.mee3]

I love both science fiction and non fiction science.

Me, too. I used to like dinosaurs when I was a child and I learn more about biology maybe.

Electricity wasn't used to wake Frankenstein's monster in Mary's original story.

[@lijeyasutube5835]

So many science fiction became this world important innovation until this time, i hope the recent one will be, and i need to teleported same were new. hope hope

[@dosomething6975]

The real question is, did the writer of an old scifi book influence what is now, or did they both create similar things because its the right way to do it. Its a similar question as to wether or not we have "ethics" because we know what is right or because we've been told what right and wrong are

[@Barnstormer1969]

I would like to try that cereal (4:55).

[@josefpark5421]

I love sci fi

[@NatGeo]

So do we! It's amazing how it has inspired the future of science.

[@user-oje7zk4ec81]

Good that we went to the Moon again.Oh wait we didn't been to Moon at all.

[@animeph9468]

This is how the world *CHANGES*

[@techrhexxhidden2244]

Anime PH I suscribe to your channel can you please suscribe to mines thx and I appreciate it very much god bless.❤️

[@Nekz2004]

Imagine if we focus on this instead of killing each others.

[@quiettornado1970]

yep tablets were in the original star trek show. That was why way back then I wanted one but it hasn't been invented. The other thing I wanted in those days that wasn't even invented yet was a self driving car.

[@sciencefictionallytruesft6587]

I can't wait until worlds like those from The Foundation Series are a reality 😀

[@Yo-gq3nb]

Ok wow

[@ADEehrh]

He keeps saying: "promised us" I don't recall any promises!

[@jeyaramsathees6128]

If you say so,,,, where is breathing in space LOL?😎

[@CarlosAM1]

We already do that. Oxygen tanks in spacesuits and plants on space stations

[@Janet71990]

8:09 what name this show from?

[@asicdathens]

It's no coincidence that the first USN nuclear powered ship is called Nautilus

[@sisyamaliahh]

8:50

[@JobeWanKenobi]

real

[@user-uq9sy3ch5g]

I'm not sure if theres relationship between them, but Japan is developed in SF as a genre of anime, movie etc

[@CarlosAM1]

2:42 this has a few problems. First, wheres the oxygen supply? Thrusters, oxygen tanks, spacesuits, gun needed to fire something at that speed, rcs, landing module, a way to survive the impact, parachutes, heat shield, sample collector, orbit module, main module, fuel, propellants, copvs, computers, guidance systems, and the worst thing. How are you expecting an aluminum bullet with a crew inside to survive the g force and extreme heat that will surely disintefrate the spacecraft both on re entry and on launch. also the kinetic forces from the impact. This is not even close to the actual apollo project. Edit: just mentioned this for fun, it inspired rocket scientists, but this is far away from being "the inspiration for the command module".

[@xoxdid]

What's the movie at the end when the guy fights with the ai cab? What about the one in which the guy refuses the auto pilot?

[@LX5477]

The guy that refuses that auto pilot is from a show called Knight Rider from the 19080's the other is Total Recall also the 1980's Arnold Swatzenager.

[@xoxdid]

@@LX5477 thanks!

[@TheComputerLabWebSeries]

What an uplifting and Inspirational video! ! If you like science fiction, you might enjoy our new SCI-FI web series THE COMPUTER LAB. The first season is available now.

[@BlueFieldGamer]

The Flying car is a good idea but the way it showed in science fiction movie and tv is inaccurate Flying car would be the same as a light aircrafts You would fly it from a airport and you has to have a pilot license You cant have lot of car flying around a city that too dangerous and most people's cant drive

[@tyrranicalt-rad6164]

Sometimes I just wonder why self-driving companies don't test multiple cars on a same road..

[@yashmakvana6183]

There was a animated show regarding inventions came after the backyard science show in 2001-2010 in india. Can anybody know about it?

[@hydrolito]

G forces of a cannon would kill everyone on board also would need a way to land on moon softly.

[@hydrolito]

Some people do back flips are gymnasts and some figure skaters unknown to you?
