Science and Sci-Fi

Science and technology are thought to be an essential ingredients in Science Fiction.  Since we often deal with science AS we do not YET know, this is easier said than done.  Let us remind ourselves that we often deal with the unknowns in scientific papers too;  it is particularly true  in cosmology.

Sci-Fi is also known as speculative fiction.  Let us examine how those ingredients might work together while keeping the story interesting and even entertaining.
