• This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).

    If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
    1. the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
    2. the thread will be closed to further posts.
    3. the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
    Thank you for understanding.​

So how much of the genre is off limits now?

Science Fiction? "Off limits" ?

Science should have no limits, beyond accurately exploring Reality.

Fiction should have no limits at all.

Where those lamentable limits are imposed by the limits of human Imagination or tolerance -- both Science and Fiction should not respect those limits, no.

16 months/24 hours? I was just thinking the same thing as I read the initial quote. But I guess this reply doesn't matter either since I didn't respond soon enough to your question. In fact this message here is probably confussing you as well.

Sorry, I'm new on Absolute Write. I'll have to stay on here so I can respond as quickly as possible. While I'm doing this, I'll be reading books that are only published within the last week...oh yeah, I can't they're not on shelves yet.

I'm not sure what happened here, but nothing in this thread presently has anything to do with science fact. For that matter, there isn't much here with any merit for the main SF/F discussion forum.

We have better things to do.
