Description
Science has been a major part of many science fiction stories – ever since the fiction category started. Some stories have more science than others and much of this is due to the authors themselves. In this presentation, Len Duda reviews some selected science fiction stories and the real science used in the story from authors such as Asimov, Niven, Clarke, Heinlein, Benford, and others.
