It's Not Just Science Fiction

摘要

I've been a fan of science fiction stories and movies for most of my life. I enjoy the idea of distant worlds and the way the limits of physics, chemistry, and biology are stretched far beyond what we know today. Whether the stories take place on distance space stations like Babylon 5, with beings such as Vorlons, Narns, and Centauri, or on starships traveling through the planetary systems of Vulcan, Klingon, or Aldebaran, they all incorporate certain exaggerations of known science, such as traveling faster than the speed of light or near-instantaneous transformations of living tissue into any genetic code or condition required to make the story work.
