Page "Science fiction" Paragraph 12

According to science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, " a handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method.

" Rod Serling's definition is " fantasy is the impossible made probable.

Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

" Lester del Rey wrote, " Even the devoted aficionado — or fan — has a hard time trying to explain what science fiction is ", and that the reason for there not being a " full satisfactory definition " is that " there are no easily delineated limits to science fiction.
