Science Fiction
Is it science?
Or is it fiction?
Because the two terms seem incompatible to me.

Either it's science, something provable or demonstrable.
Or it's fiction.
Something somebody just made up.

1. Fiction with a scientific basis?
Speculative fiction for that which does not have factual scientific basis?
