That science retard doesn't seem to know the most basic scientific concepts.
The science retards claimed the Earth was only 6,000 years old!
Alexander said the Sun goes around the Earth. What a science retard!
Those science retards are discussing how man and dinosaur lived together. Idiots!

Get the Science retard mug.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 science class mug.A mixture of juice and energy drink, containing all the minerals and vitamins needed for the human body to survive. Can be used as the only source of energy for the body as it contains everything the body needs, at least so it appears on the nutrition facts labels. The lack of proteins and non-important minerals such as calcium are usually treated with pizzas and fast food, tho it has been proven to be possible and somewhat healthy to purely live on science juice.
