My idea is that all science comes from science fiction... here is a chat I had with my friend about it.
"kingnimara: There was that one “guy who thought the earth was round”
kingnimara: the church disagreed
kingnimara: and wanted to burn “The guy who thought the earth was round”
kingnimara: “The guy who thought the earth was round” decided to say that the earth isn't round cuz he was gonna get burned if he continued believing what he believed
kingnimara: during his time the statement "the earth is round" is science fiction
kingnimara: some time later ppl realize that the earth is round
kingnimara: and then it became science
kingnimara: ok now einstein
kingnimara: einstein said that there is relativity everywhere
kingnimara: he said that the speed of light must have no mass
kingnimara: even though we accept this and read this in our science book, it is still science fiction
kingnimara: cuz no one has proven it
kingnimara: not yet anyhow...
kingnimara: ok now the taoist
kingnimara: Lao Tze said that there is some kinda force all around us
*********: chi?
kingnimara: I am beginning to realize that ppl thought he was crazy
kingnimara: and we can say that this force is science fiction
*********: chi and atoms are diffrent tho
kingnimara: how so?
kingnimara: not chi'
*********: chi was somthign harnessalbe
kingnimara: i realize now that chi' and taoism have nothing to do with each other
kingnimara: if u read the “Tao te Ching”, Lao Tze says nothing about chi'
kingnimara: anyhow, this force was scifi in his time
*********: was he talking about air?
kingnimara: not many ppl believed him and ppl thought he was crazy
*********: or Gravity
kingnimara: no one really knows what this "secret mother of all of us" was
kingnimara: until the Greeks
kingnimara: They realized that there something around us called "atomos"
kingnimara: from the greeks on it became known as science
kingnimara: did any of what I said make sense?
*********: ya
kingnimara: I've have always thought that tao means atoms
kingnimara: i think in his time "Tao" was scifi
kingnimara: but like most scifi it became science
kingnimara: Which happened in the Greek time"
If you don't believe me post scientific discoveries, and I can tell you some point in history when that belief was science fiction.
Another great example would be going to the moon... self explanitory...
