Science Fiction is an adventure, mystery, drama (heck, any genere) that has some basis in a scientific fact or wild theory (faster that light space travel is a great example). The level of research, or reality towards the science determines what kind of science fiction it is. For example, Star Wars uses a few facts (or crazy theories if you prefer), such as the idea of FTL travel through "hyperspace"; but since it's all pretty improbable, star wars type stuff is considered "space opera". Just unplug your analytical mind and watch the pretty lightsabers.
If the science is sound and well-researched, like some of Ben Bova's (one example, there are many other authors) writing, than it's considered "hard" science fiction and calls on a broad knowledge base of popular science. Knowing a little bit about the physics or chemistry (or history sometimes) helps you appreciate and enjoy this kind of science fiction.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefield Earth (the book) = "light" science fiction, space opera
Robert Heinlein's future history (Methuselah's Children), Ben Bova's Jupiter, or Asteroid Wars, Frank Herbert's Dune (a little fantastical, but the ecological background is neat)
= "hard" sci-fi

Get the Fan Fiction mug.Pulp Fiction must be one of the greatest movies ever created to date. It is a fucking work of art. I watched this movie 50 times and I STILL get excited watching it.
Some of the cast are: Uma Thurman (I love her. Very hot woman), Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, just to name a few.
If you ask someone about Pulp Fiction and they tell you that they havent watched it/ or even worse, if they never heard of it, kick their ass and never talk to them again, beause they abvously know nothing.
This movie should be regarded as a step in human development and human history.
Watch it.
