As we know about Roger working on a soundtrack, Brian too has done a new soundtrack to the new film "51 Degrees" have a look/listen to this trailer, the familiar rumbles of Brians Guitar. Also pause the trailer at the Credits at the end, "Music by Brian May" (It's not the Australian composer of the same name) link link it's on the films website that Brian is the composer of the film's music. Brian says:- 'I was inspired by the rushes, and honoured to be asked to contribute music for the film' (Dr. Brian May, Composer, 2014). 'This is a very different kind of disaster movie. No Bruce Willis here, to save life on Earth from extinction. This is a movie to change perspectives - and now that we realise the high probability of such a strike from space, it is a timely warning indeed' (Dr. Brian May, Composer, 2014). |

He kept that quiet ! |
| Vali 11.06.2014 09:57 |
where did this come from? I mean ... wow, it's surprising, a full soundtrack ! did Brian mention anything about this project, in the past months? hope we can get to listen soon to some of the stuff he's recorded. |
| Freddie rey 11.06.2014 16:23 |
so, this is officially a new solo record by Brian! on the official web page, they said me that it will be a CD of the soundtrack |
| claudiox 11.06.2014 16:34 |
I only guess, at the Rak Studios last February? link |

If it is anything like the Furia album, it probably took as long to compose and record the soundtrack as it did to watch the film. |
| andyb1968 12.06.2014 04:55 |
I hope its a better film than Furia and a better soundtrack ! |
| The Real Wizard 13.06.2014 02:18 |
This film looks like it'll be fantastic, never mind Brian May doing the soundtrack ! Asteroids are a serious issue that most people don't have a clue about, and hopefully this film will change that. link |

Oh my god! This is a bid deal! FINALLY after all of these years!!! REALLY?!!! This is SO great! |

Hubble has looked billions of years into the past, due to modern technology we can detect an asteroid strike a long time in advance.. we are more at risk of an unexpected asteroid impact than we are of those anthology things people spoke about 15 years ago.... |

Bob, If Earth did get hit & it does send us into another Ice age, how long do you think we would get, before we became extinct like the Dinosaurs? |
| The Real Wizard 15.06.2014 11:44 |
There are far too many factors involved to give a straight answer. But it likely wouldn't take long before most of us froze to death. It's possible that a few of us may find a habitable spot on earth, even if we have to fight/kill others for the real estate. Asteroids or not, even some conservative estimates say we've got less than a couple hundred years left in our existence. Anything from nuclear war to climate change to killing off the sharks (they're top of the ocean food chain, and if the oxygen-giving plants at the bottom of the ocean are eaten we're doomed) to running out of oil and becoming savages are all likely possibilities. The fact that it may take a few mere centuries to obliterate ourselves in a technological age after billions of years of life evolving from microbes may be the saddest fact of all. The dinosaurs likely went extinct for a much different reason than we will. It's entirely possible there was a supernova a few light years away that sent cosmic rays our way, depleting the earth's atmosphere to the point that ultraviolet rays from the sun got through and burned nearly everything that moved at the stake. If that didn't kill the dinosaurs, then it killed off their diet and they starved to death instead. And whoever we descended from managed to survive in the trees - all the more sad that we, ultimately more resilient than the dinosaurs, may actually last only a couple hundred thousand years while the dinosaurs lasted hundreds of millions. |

Thanks Bob!! It makes you think doesn't it? |

"It's entirely possible there was a supernova a few light years away that sent cosmic rays our way," Ok... there will be a new Queen album with new Freddie vocals that we know know nothing about.... how is life on your planet? |
| Doga 15.06.2014 15:49 |
Well, the dinusaur thing is not true, there was thousands of different species of dinosaurs, and everyone of them lasted just 1.2 million of years. The whole Triassic-Jurassic-Cretaci periods where full of different species of dinosaurs of the same family. With us, would be different species of monkeys (humans, gorillas, chimpanzees...) of the same familiy (apes) But otherwise, Real Wizard is very right, we humans think our specie is invincible, when the fact is we are very fragile, from a bombastic ending like an asteroid, the Yellowstone volcano, or some atmosphere destructor rays from outer space to more sutile ways like lack of oxygen production (as he brilliantly point with the sharks example), climate change, or even superpopulation issues, or existance is very compromised. And the thing is, it wouldn't be much issue for the planet, during Earth history, extiction events were normal, some of them destroyed more of the 80% of the life of the planet and took more than 30 millions of years to recover, but they were there. |

But most people haven't, so I'll forgive you. Considering how often supernovae take place in this galaxy (and our observations of matter contained therein at such times), this ending to life as we know it is certainly not out of the question. But I fear we will find a way to extinguish ourselves long before natural phenomena like this has a chance to. |

Surely some species lasted longer than others, as tends to be the case in evolution. lack of oxygen production (as he brilliantly point with the sharks example)Ah, many thanks. I learned plenty about the issue from a documentary called Sharkwater. It's probably the most important documentary you'll ever see in your life. Of all the ways we could extinguish our species, this is by far the easiest one to thwart. link |
| Doga 15.06.2014 17:08 |
1.2 million of years is an average time, some species of dinosaurs lived more and some less. And i'll check this link later, sounds very interesting. |
| The Real Wizard 15.06.2014 22:12 |
OK, that makes sense. But that still doesn't invalidate the supernova theory. Regardless of how many species or how long each lasted, some kind of cataclysmic event put an end to the line of them. And something that we evolved from survived. |

Regardless of how many species or how long each lasted, some kind of cataclysmic event put an end to the line of them.Of course that not invalidate the supernova theory, the dinosaurs and most of the life forms of the Cretacic period met their demise suddenly (thousands of years). The meteor theory is very popular and probably right, but could be aswell some type of climate changer, like the supernova, or a really big volcano. Interestingly, some dinousaurs survived in the forms of birds, the question is if they evolved to birds before the cataclysm and that is why survived or if they resist the catastrophe and then they started to evolve in order to endure in the new apocalyptic scenario. |

Learning astronomy in a Queen forum. What an educative forum! It's incredible what are you saying Wizard. It makes me think a lot... |

Pterodactyls, for example, are from the Jurassic period, and the dinosaurs lived through the Cretaceous. We're talking roughly 100 million years here, which is plenty of time for major mutations and adaptations to occur. Furthermore, if dinosaurs as we know it ceased to be after the Cretaceous, then it's pretty likely that the pterodactyls' evolution to birds happened during that time. |

Evolution is a bit of a mind boggler, say, if we "did" have another 100 million years left on this planet, I wonder what things would look like then? Evolution is happening all the time, I mean just go back about 400 years, people were a lot smaller, somebody at 6 foot tall was considered a giant, even though by today's standards there are millions of people over 6 foot tall. |
