hard sci fi 

Science fiction which can be considered scientifically accurate.

Roman from the show party down who considers himself to be a hard sci fi writer. Roman attempts to get laid but finds himself keeping it real and blowing his chances.

Roman: So, what kind of stuff are you into?

Porn star: I don't know, I like all of it. Especially Dragons.

Roman:Dragons? (sipping drink in disgust) Dragons are fantasy. There's magical talismans' or a magic sword, or wizards, or fucking crazy, not real animals. All these basic things that break the laws of reality; that shits all fantasy. I'm into hard sci fi, fantasy is all bullshit.

Porn star: Um huh. (Leaves the bar)

hard scifi

Science fiction rooted in the current understanding of science in general. “Hard Scifi” doesn’t include concepts that break our understanding of physics such as FTL travel, or synthetic gravity.

The Martian, Red Mars, and Children of Time are examples of hard scifi stories.
