The Science Of Ad Astra : Are We Alone In The Universe?
When it comes to sci-fi movies, a distinct sense of excitement and thrill runs through our body. Sci-fi movies have been entertained and watched by the people for quite a time now. But we like them based upon the wonders of science they depict, and up to what extent that science is accurate. They are all about the tempting romance and fascination of space. Today we will discuss one such fascinating movie, Ad Astra. WE have seen movies about the existence of aliens, our contact with them, but not about the opposite. What if we are alone in the Universe? Ad Astra to an extent addresses this question and with a unique approach.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/InsaneCuriosity?sub_confirmation=1?

Clarke, there are two possibilities; Either we are alone in the universe or we are not! Both of these ideas are equally terrifying. What if we are alone in this vast universe? What if we are all that matters? And if that’s the case, why is it? Until now we don’t have any perfect plan to live and sustain in outer space. We read and hear speculations of life on different exoplanets that exhibit earth like features and believe to be habitable, and still we have found nothing? It’s a very intriguing question that has not only baffled me but many scientists around the world. Ad astra depicts the endless human pursuit to find life in space.  If you haven’t watch the movie, let’s briefly discuss what happens in it. But before that let us give u a spoiler alert! And all those who haven’t watched this movie, go watch it Guys! Ad astra revolves mainly around the protagonist Roy McBride, who is a fearless, lonesome astronaut who was one of the best in his company. He inherited his father’s passion and reputation who was also a very famous astronomer. They observed a sudden power surge of gamma ray bursts on the Earth causing deat* of over 40,000 people around the world. When the scientists at the SPACECOM( a NASA like government organisation in the movie) observe this surge, they discover that this gamma-ray burst came from the Neptune. Roy’s Father, Clifford McBride, was a legend. He was the first man to go to Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune in what they called the Lima project, but scientists later lost communications with him. Roy is then informed that his father might be alive and the cause of this gamma-ray bursts was the Lima project. Roy is then asked to go to Mars and contact his father. Later he comes to know that his father might be the cause of the surge. His father was the captain of the Lima Project and was very determined to find out life in outer space. But the loneliness and being far from home affected his fellow crew members. They wanted to go back but Clifford was so determined to find a life that he kil*ed all those who mutinied against him and cut off all the communications with SPACECOM. Eventually he kil*ed the last of the serving ones too and during the fight they caused a power surge near Neptune.  Ad Astra deals with a very different and uncommon idea of extraterrestrial life. The movie not only elegantly describes human exploration to space but also a vivid description of what is it like being in space. What if we are really all alone in the universe? Or maybe we are not intelligent enough to communicate with them. It could be because they are more intelligent than us or they might single-celled organisms. And if that’s the case, what does it means for us? The movie revolves around this central idea. The movie begins with a psychological evaluation of Roy, which tells us how much important it is for astronomers to be in the peaceful state of mind. We see a giant tower also, which speaks about the high ambitions of humans to look out in space.  In the coming years, space travel will be developed and easier. Though companies like SpaceX and Virgi* Atlantic have laid out plans for space travel, but still there is a lot of work to do. The movie shows that commercial travel to space with be a very common thing with humans going to moon and space. Though we will be very advanced and developed, still our human consciousness and behaviour will be the same and this theme is very successfully presented in the film. We can see when Roy travels to moon he has to even pay for his pillow and is same like the commercial planes of the current time. The movie draws a picture of how human exploration and colonialism would look like in the coming years. No matter how much advanced we become, humanity will always follow us. The movie tells us that few things will change, companies and restaurant existed before and will exist today. #InsaneCuriosity #AdAstra #AreWeAloneInTheUniverse
