I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research.

Now, Venus is an extremely hostile environment, and as such presents a lot of challenges for a science fiction author who wants to create life there. However, as I began to research it more thoroughly, I found myself intrigued by the possibilities the world offers.

I'm mostly a novelist these days, but I have written short stories in Fantasy, Science Fiction and horror.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.

The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts - and not absolute and general.

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

Remember in 1973 the same science chatter said that the coming Ice Age is going to occur, we're going to lose millions of people. And the politicians knew how to solve it, they just didn't have the courage to solve it; they were going to put coal dust on the Arctic.

Science already contained all that was necessary, if you just brought it out.

Every science is a profane restatement of the preceding dogmas of the religious period.

I should like to say that I am as proud of my Chinese heritage and background as I am devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin, to which I have dedicated and I shall continue to dedicate my work.

Hence, even in the domain of natural science the aid of the experimental method becomes indispensable whenever the problem set is the analysis of transient and impermanent phenomena, and not merely the observation of persistent and relatively constant objects.

When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.

We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.

The accidental causes of science are only accidents relatively to the intelligence of a man.

If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research.
