Welcome back to another exciting episode of Science Friction! Join Karl and Bryan as they have a look at SETI- the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. Along the way they talk about The Drake equation- a way to work out (well, guess) the number of intelligent life in the galaxy, where in the solar system we might find life,zombie ants, slack jawed yokels and there’s lots of heavy breathing courtesy of Karl, for which he’s very sorry.
We also launch the Amazing DESIGN A LOGO competition! With fabulouso prizes!

Unrehearsed, unprofessional and probably unwanted, Science Friction returns to your audiovibratory physiomolecular podcast playing devicelment type thingie! In this episode a new co-host is introduced and we take a look at some of the science behind the “Firefly” universe.
How feasible is moving to another solar system? How do you terraform a planet? and why is Karl obsessed with invoking feline wrath? These are just some of the questions asked (and some even answered!) in the exciting new instalment! If you have any comments or suggestions, you can contact us at sciencefriction@ymail.com
In this episode Karl has a bit of a rant about a couple of TV shows he’s had the misfortune to sit through, as well as a few that seem to be worth watching. The main feature is on cloning, what it is, how to do it (don’t be scared- it’s going be months before Karl’s clone army is ready to take over the world) and how to spot if your a clone. Karl also has a look at some clone- related Sci-Fi and finishes of the episode with a quite excellent piece of music. Hope you enjoy it!

In a departure from the usual format (can you have a usual format after only 1 episode?), episode 2 is a live recording of Karl’s Science of Superheroes panel at the Birmingham International Comic Show. Find out how Spider-man can climb walls, how to make yourself invisible, the truth behind Wonder Woman’s lasso, who would win in a fight between the Blob and the Juggernaut, and much, much more. Hopefully you’ll be able to make sense of what’s going on without the visuals and look out for some familiar guest victi….er, I mean volunteers. Hope you enjoy it!
