hard sci fi -(that's sci fi with real science in it)-
there is a disturbing lack of hard sci fi in pop culture (nothing new) but also in real science as of late
scientist used to dream about what can be or what may be or what will be all the time but it seems like if your doing sci fi then you throw out hard science for some vaguely sciency bullshit that is little more then a plot device and /or magic in a different form
-and if your doing science then there seems to be no willingness to try and dream big or imagine something that is vaguely possible and run with a "what if"
>(like in the 1890s when it was found that our universe had not just 3 dimensions but 4 or more, and a young writer named h.g. wells said what if that 4th dimension is time? and what if we find a way to travel it like we do the other 3? and he wrote the timemachine)
how about some "what if" stories or ideas

how about genetically modified chickens with the older genes of the dinos that they where descended from active
mixed with some cybornetics to provide control of the animal and give it abilities that no animal like it ever had naturally

What? You want more sci fi in real science? Why??

>how about
Why? There is so much more useful you can do for humans, like deleting hundreds of diseases, illnesses and problems. just imagine how much you would save if you removed traits for diabetes, haemophilia, cancer, allergies, glaucoma etc.
Really wish there was more sci-fi dealing with the relativistic effects of space travel and things like relativistic combat.

It would be pretty cool to open Jurassic park and visit it. Could also bring in the bucks to finance all the research on illnesses and other problems.
Actually... A good point.

So, you actually believe there's more money in dinosaur-themed animal parks than in curing cancer?

The Martian was like 80% hard scifi. The Expanse is kind of hard scifi.
Is Interstellar hard sci-fi?

Implying that characters can't say something that makes them feel better, even if it's a lie.
