Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and capitalization) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations on current or future science or technology. Science fiction is found in books, magazines, art, television, films, games, theatre, and other media. In organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction can be synonymous with the broader definition of speculative fiction, encompassing creative works incorporating imaginative elements not found in contemporary reality; this includes fantasy, horror, and related genres.[1]

Science fiction differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation). Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas".[2] Science fiction is largely based on writing entertainingly and rationally about alternate possibilities[3] in settings that are contrary to known reality.

These may include

Science fiction is difficult to define, as it includes a wide range of subgenres and themes. Author and editor Damon Knight summed up the difficulty by stating that "science fiction is what we point to when we say it",[7] a definition echoed by author Mark C. Glassy, who argues that the definition of science fiction is like the definition of pornography you don't know what it is, but you know it when you see it.[8] Vladimir Nabokov argued that if we were rigorous with our definitions, Shakespeare's play The Tempest would have to be termed science fiction.[9]

1. Judgement Day is a Terrfic Movie
July 03, 2009

Back in 1991, nobody knew exactly what to expect when they sat down in the seat at the local movie theater. They knew that they were seeing a sequel to one of the best sci-fi action movies of the eighties, but what they got was so much more. It was a movie experience that would not be replicated or duplicated no matter how much money the studios and directors put into a new movie. There have been many versions of this movie over the years since it is from 1991. It has gone through VHS and DVD and now it is coming out on blu-ray for those who are starting off their collections... (read more)

Spader is a scientist that decodes an ancient Egyptian artifact that mysteriously creates what they call the Stargate. It is a portal for traveling across the universe as well as time. Once they decide to jump through, which you knew was going to eventually happen, the craziness begins. There is p... (read more)

3. Aliens, UFOs, Alien Abductions, Close Encounters - Chance or No-chance?
June 30, 2009

I've been a sci-fi fan since before Star Trek's Captain Kirk split his first infinitive ("To boldly go ..") - but I have to doubt if we'll ever encounter any of his intelligent alien friends or even any unintelligent alien microbes. Some will assert that UFOs are a fact - but this only seems to mean that objects have been seen flying that were not identified - hence, by definition, they are 'unidentified flying objects' - but that does not make them alien spacecraft - just unexplained observations. Unfortunately, UFO data is not very convincing of an alien connection - and if aliens a... (read more)

10. Dr. Tiller: Let's Not Make Him a Martyr
June 03, 2009

Blame for Dr. Tiller’s murder is flying around like the sands of a Mojave dust storm most of it is hyper and unreasonable and it is begging for some legitimate balance. Is there any? Let’s start at the top of the controversy rather than working up to it. Scott Roeder is at the moment the only suspect in the shooting of Dr. Tiller. If he is found guilty then he alone will be culpable for Dr. Tiller’s death. For those who like to say that Roe v. Wade is the law and we should live with it, the law that says only the one who pulled the trigger is guilty is a law they will have to live with as... (read more)

11. Using The Battery Of The Future Today-Pandora Battery
May 21, 2009

If the Pandora battery had been featured first in a sci fi movie you wouldn’t be chastised for thinking it is only a work of fiction. This product does not conform to the mundane function that conventional batteries have been known to perform. The battery is designed to be used strictly for the task of downgrading firmware from psp devices. Confusing? The battery has its own energy and can also be recharged. It is at this point, however, that all similarities with the conventional batteries cease to exist. To therefore use the battery as an energy source would be to abuse its manufacturers’ in...

13. "Knowing" the Future Holds Some Surprises
May 19, 2009

We’ve seen Nicolas Cage decipher codes before, a la “National Treasure.” If there’s one thing the Academy Award-winning actor is good at, it’s bringing an audience inside his mind and letting us see how it works. In the sci-fi thriller “Knowing”, Cage plays the role of John Koestler, an astrophysics professor at MIT, who we quickly learn is a grieving widower, conscientiously raising his son Caleb by day and drinking away his sorrows by night. Caleb attends an elementary school that is celebrating their fiftieth anniversary by opening a time capsule buried on the grounds since 1959. ... (read more)

22. Gaming Computers and Computer Modding
March 27, 2009

Gaming Computers and Computer Modding Gamers are a breed apart. They love their machines more than normal computer users. And often their computers make the regular desktop computer look like something from a 1950s sci-fi movie. LAN parties introduced a communal computing scenario which got gamers thinking that their beige or plain black computer cases could use some modding.
