    I don’t think Star Trek is very hard sci-fi.

    Edit: to say that, I don’t think an interest in physics will naturally lead you to space fiction. And I don’t think “space” is the natural conclusion of “physics.”

      Compared to Star Wars, Star Trek is pretty fkin hard scifi.

      Star Trek isn’t hard hard scifi, no, there’s a bunch of completely soft fantasy elements like the holodecks and whatnot, but compared to Star Wars, it’s still pretty hard.
