The Science(ish) of... Stranger Things
Comedian Sophie Duker, science nerd Rick Edwards and quantum physicist Dr Michael Brooks dissect the science of Netflix’s Stranger Things, sorting the nanoscience from the nonsense.
Comedian Sophie Duker, science nerd Rick Edwards and quantum physicist Dr Michael Brooks dissect the science behind Netflix’s multi award-winning series Stranger Things. The Science(ish) gang take an entertaining deep dive into the science behind the sci-fi horror hit, picking apart the nanoscience from the nonsense. Secret government experiments, psychic powers and interdimensional monsters are all brought under the microscope for a reality check.
Using a combination of expert witnesses, guest contributors and archive clips, Rick is determined to prove to a sceptical Sophie and Dr Michael that the work of science fiction is actually based on plausible science fact. From seeing the person who believes they are the real-life Stranger Things character Eleven to uncovering a monster dog that paved the way for human organ transplants, the three will have to decide if the science of Stranger Things is legit or just science-ish.
