When does SciFi Start? It starts when you say, “What if?”

I like that take on it. It better quantifies what I expect out of science fiction… vs. space opera and such… which are usually more concerned with telling a ripping yarn than exploring a particular concept. Fantasy seldom seems concerned with ‘what if’ type questions. Generally I find science fiction weaker on characters and plot… but strong on the presentation of ideas.
