"It’s clear that science and science fiction have overlapping populations." ― Frederik Pohl Topic(s): Science More From Frederik Pohl "My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature – science fiction is written according to the science fiction method." "People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research." "I don’t think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them." More In Science "I like the ‘Science Channel,’ the ‘Discovery Channel,’ I like ‘Discovery Times,’ which is a fabulous hybrid of the ‘New York Times’ and ‘Discovery Channel.’ Maybe I’m just an old man, but I like to watch that stuff."― James Marsters "The thing about science fiction is that it’s totally wide open. But it’s wide open in a conditional way."― Octavia Butler "Science is a wonderful discipline, to which we are deeply indebted."― Ray Comfort
