"People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research." ― Frederik Pohl Topic(s): Science More From Frederik Pohl "If you don’t care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn’t try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want." "A lot of the cosmologists and astrophysicists clearly had been reading science fiction." "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."

I voiced my disappointment with the House leadership when this report was left until after the August recess for action."― Leonard Boswell "I love science fiction."― Pam Grier "Science is a self-sufficient activity."― Jonathan Miller
