The brain is a physical structure in which the mind is a generator of narratives in response to situations and circumstances in the human habitat. The mind may thus be regarded as a storyteller. One perspective on leaning is to explore how stories are embedded and how they affect different neural networks within the brain. The Space Epic about the doomed Space- Ship Aniara is a metaphor for our Earth on its eternal journey through endless space. The poetic presentation might give us a vision of our future. Such a vision could enrich science lessons by embedding scientific issues into social and environmental contexts.  This utilization of story-telling might affect the students´ conscious and subconscious cognitive faculties, in a more profound way than traditional teaching might do.
