		On the other hand, if the fictional science developed in the story is well-founded according to science at publication time, and if it is well-integrated with plot and character development, the story can retain considerable interest long after science has passed it by.
		The term is sometimes used in a pejorative fashion when it is implied a given science fiction story is not rigorous enough in its application of science or is not "proper" science fiction.
