Science Fiction Inspires the Future of Science | National Geographic

[@NatGeo]

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!

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.

[@rajamouryasimhareddy1478]

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😁

[@georgeburnham1880]

Remember, space travel, landing and walking on the moon, rocket launches, space stations all used to be science fiction

[@BeyondSciFi-s3f]

It's amazing how much of what was once considered science fiction is now a reality! The idea of traveling to space, landing on the moon, and building space stations seemed like something out of a fantasy novel not too long ago. Do you think we'll see more breakthroughs in space travel in the next few decades, or could there be challenges that slow down progress?

[@georgeburnham1880]

@ we will see

[@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

[@louishundred1812]

Waaaaoo Amezing Love Your Channel 👍😙💫

[@jennykhan4016]

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

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@zayd7772]

Nice one it inspires me too.

[@preetinagpuria9936]

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

[@BeyondSciFi-s3f]

I totally agree with you! The music in this documentary really adds another layer to the experience, doesn’t it? It’s interesting how sound can enhance the storytelling, especially in a topic as vast and thought-provoking as science fiction. What do you think - do you believe music has the power to shape how we perceive scientific concepts and ideas?

This confirms that conceptualization precede creation

Finally science fiction not only sparks technological and societal progress, but it also offers profound psychological benefits that shape more empathetic and creative individuals.Studies show that engaging with sci-fi can significantly improve problem-solving skills and cognitive flexibility (Gibson). As a teacher, I see the importance of these skills every day. When students are faced with complex challenges, it is their ability to think creatively and outside the box that sets them apart. Sci-fi fosters this very mindset. Beyond technological advancements, science fiction also promotes empathy and poses immense psychological benefits. By promoting diverse characters and cultures, science fiction encourages readers to step into the shoes of people who are vastly different from them. Research shows that this practice enhances emotional intelligence and compassion, cultivating a more inclusive and empathetic worldview, particularly important in today’s society (Capulum College). In an increasingly globalized world, empathy and understanding are crucial for creating a more inclusive and compassionate society. By integrating these values into their education, we prepare them to become not just innovators but empathetic leaders.

[@ScienceFictionJourney]

This created science fiction as a new genre..

[@josefpark5421]

I love sci fi

[@NatGeo]

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

[@Priyanshi134-e3b]

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

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

[@soufianrubiio4593]

nice

[@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

[@Janet71990]

8:09 what name this show from?

[@Barnstormer1969]

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

[@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!

[@NekzLvL]

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.

[@ManaBDew]

Some days I just have a great sense of awe to the very fact we live An are already in space💫🌏🤷‍♂️😳😁👍Godspeed Sincerely from LarryWhittington

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.

[@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

[@user-tbtvzgiohenxoll]

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

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