Without oxygen, complex life will disappear, leaving Earth a barren desert, blasted by ultraviolet radiation. The timeline? About 1.1 billion years from now. It is a number so huge it almost feels unreal, and yet it carries a message for us all.
What I find truly fascinating is how this scientific scenario fits into a narrative that humankind has imagined for generations: one day, to survive, we may have to leave our home planet and find new stars and worlds to inhabit. This idea is not just science, it is part of our collective imagination, from movies to music to literature.

Readers first experienced science fiction in 1818 with the imaginative writings of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” They were captivated by the creative horror and the seemingly plausible ideas of the delusional yet often genius character.
