Re: Help: The Relation between Science fiction and science

It appears you have a pretty good handle on the science side but weak on the fiction side. Read for fun now and then.

If you do, it should be fairly easy for you to look at fiction writers and science writers and compare and contrast and in the process leap ahead of your peers.

Carl Sagan only wrote one fiction piece but otherwise a bonafied sicentist and public teacher.

Feynman was a a brilliat educator

Einstein was a brillant nut-bucket

Isaac Asimov was a prolific writer and a science historian

The further you go back into science fiction, Jules Verne, the more you will appreciate the whole enchilda. Science fiction writers often own the whip that sting scientists.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
