people talk about society needing to be more scientifically literate, but anybody who says that grossly underestimates the granularity of ignorance. Some of the most overly skeptical, bull shit things that I hear about things like vaccines come out of people I know who are in the hard sciences.

how to tell if your sci-fi is good: a guide

is there time travel?
- if so: does it clearly describe the logistics of said time travel in a way that at least somewhat makes sense (usually this involves making the entire story extremely about time travel, and not just passively mentioning it as another element of the universe)
- - if so: it might be good
- - if not: it's bad
- if not: it might be good
