	Science Fiction - MSN Encarta
		More precisely, science fiction deals with events that did not happen or have not yet happened; it considers these events rationally in terms both of explanation and of consequences; and it is concerned with the impact of change on people, often with its consequences for the human race.
		The most common subjects for science fiction are the future, travel through space or time, life on other planets, and crises created by technology or alien creatures and environments.
		The first major writer of science fiction in English, however, and the man who may be considered the founder of modern science fiction is H.G. Wells.

	Science Fiction - MSN Encarta
		Science and technology began appearing as a subject of fiction in the 19th century.
		Wells began to write stories with science themes in 1894, demonstrating more interest in biology and evolution than in other sciences, and more concern about the social consequences of invention than about the accuracy of the invention itself.
		Most early science fiction was published in magazines and aimed at a readership of boys and young men.

	1818 Advanced College Credit Program \| Saint Louis University
		The 1818 Advanced College Credit Program provides an introduction to college-level expectations for high school students by challenging students to attempt a rigorous academic curriculum, encouraging faculty to continue their personal academic endeavors, and supporting administrators in enriching and extending the high school curriculum.
		For his/her participation in the program, the 1818 ACC High School Coordinator may apply to the 1818 ACC Office for a scholarship in the discipline in which the instructor is currently teaching, or in which the instructor intends to teach an 1818 ACC course.
		The 1818 ACC Program is designed for those exceptional high school juniors and seniors who have the ability, motivation, and maturity to begin their college educations before high school graduation.

	Science Fiction as a Genre in Adolescent Literature
		Science fiction is similar to fantasy in that it is set in worlds that generally do not correspond to present realities.
		Science fiction differs, however, in that the future realities it presents are often based on extrapolation from current scientific principles.
		As such, good science fiction with a conscience is going to promote new ways of looking at the human consequences and relation to things like industrialism, evolutionary theory, relativity, computers, the big ban, human presence on the moon and the possibility of alien intelligence.

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

	The End of Science Fiction: When Technological Extrapolation Hits A Wall Across the Future
		Science fiction, as a genre of popular fiction, can trace its roots as far back as the 2nd century AD, where fantastical worlds were conjured up in order to comment on current beliefs.
		[Science Fiction] is a descendant of the type of prose fiction sometimes referred to as Lucianic Satire (after Lucian of Samosata, a Greek writer of the 2nd century AD).
		The term "science fiction" didn't come along until pulp magazine editor Hugo Gernsback used the word "scientifiction" in April 1926 to describe a "Jules Verne, H. Wells and Edgar Allan Poe kind of story." The somewhat derogatory "sci-fi" was coined in the 1950s, by analogy with hi-fi.

	October 31, 1997, Hour 2: Halloween Science
		It's Halloween on Science Friday, and we'll be looking at the science behind Frankenstein's monster, physician's findings on folk remedies, and maybe a ghastly topic or two.
		The tale, first published by Mary Shelley in 1818, raised an important question about what is acceptable in science.
		Groups of researchers both here and abroad are investigating the science behind some of these techniques, and are finding out that in some cases, they actually work.

		Metcalfe also warned that if the British empire kept its inhabitants in ignorance, their dominance would be a curse; but if they promoted enlightenment with arts and sciences to improve conditions, then the gratitude of India and the admiration of the world would accompany their name in the future.
		Maharaja Ranjit Singh extended his Sikh confederation by conquering Multan in 1818, Kashmir in 1819, Dera Ghazi Khan in 1820, Mankera and Dera Ismail Khan in 1821, and Bannu and Tank in 1822.

	Physics for Poets
		According to Samuel Coleridge: "Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science.
		Poetry is opposed to science." Poets since 1818 have not found science much less antithetical.
		Some may also hold science responsible for dirtying the skies, the seas, obliterating innumerable darling buds of May and other things cherished by poets.

	for a genealogy of feminist sf
		While the origins of science fiction as a genre have long been a bone of contention among the predominantly male writers and critics who presume to speak the history of our genre, what could there possibly be to ``debate'' about the history of feminist sf?
		Although I've honored Shelley as a worthy writer and have even on occasion been moved to defend her sole authorship of Frankenstein, I avoided actually reading that novel until last October, when in the course of preparing a talk, I revisited Jane Donawerth's Frankenstein's Daughters and was struck by her description of the book.
		The apparently universal avatar for the science fiction enthusiast is an adolescent boy who is mad for gimmicks and all things mechanical.

		The key, Galbraith realized was that "the principal work of a technical school is the teaching of science, and not, as many suppose, to turn out fully fledged engineers...; all that it can pretend to do is turn out partially educated men."
		"polished or unpolished, modern science is so wonderful and the story of it is told so well that the forger of this weapon appears on a very much higher plane than the wielder of it"
		It is not part of the so-called sciences, it is not applied science, it is man in action, using the sciences - in the most complex and useful action progress has had."

		Instead, a musician controls volume and pitch using her hands to interfere with electromagnetic fields generated by the device.

		What few people realize is that the theremin was originally promoted by its Russian creator Leon Theremin as a serious musical instrument.
