It may be far in the future, but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I started in this racket in the early '70s, and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, of which I was like the sixth president, I was the first one nobody ever heard of. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
