Definition
 
Science fiction is a genre which contents
are based in supposed technical and
scientific achievements. It is different
from fantastic genre of the scientific
support.
The term "science fiction" was coined in 1926 by
Hugo Gernsback when he incorporated it on the
cover of one of the best-known speculative
narrative magazines of the 1920s in the United
States: Amazing Stories. The earliest use of it
seems to date from 1851 and is attributed to
William Wilson, but it is an isolated use and the
term was not generalized with its current meaning,
until Gernsback used it consistently.

SCIENCE FICTION CHARACTERISTICS:
 
In general terms, we can identify science fiction
as a genre characterized by being:
 
Eminently narrative, whether long or short,
although there are also rare forays into the world
of poetry.
 
Interested in scientific and technological
discourse, even as an excuse to ask oneself about
reality, time, life, death and other transcendental
issues of humanity.
 
Having a certain margin of technological
prediction, attributable more than anything to the
fact that this genre investigates the dreams and
fantasies of humanity that science strives to
make reality.

WORKS:
DEFINITION

Science is the set of organized, hierarchical


and verifiable knowledge, obtained from the
observation of the natural and social
phenomena of reality, and also from the
experimentation and empirical demonstration
of the interpretations that we give them.
 
SCIENCE
This knowledge is also recorded and serves
as a basis for future generations. So
science nurtures itself, questions, refines,
and accumulates over time.
CLASSIFICATION:
 
This classification is based on the object of study of each science and present them in
formal and facto science, as they deal with the logical relationship or facts of reality.

Factual science
Formal science:
 The objects of factual sciences are
 The material
objects of the formal sciences are ideal 
 His method is observation and
 His method is deduction experimentation, but also deduction

 Your criterion of truth is verification


 All its statements are analytical, that is,
they are deduced from postulates or
 The statements are predominantly
theorems
synthetic although there are also
 
analytical statements
CRITERIA OF SCIENCE
 
Observability: The phenomenon studied, or its evidence, can be
observed and explained by our senses or by the scope of our devices.
 

Consistency: The results of observations and experiments concerning


naturally occurring events (phenomena) are reasonably the same when
carried out or repeated by competent researchers.
 

Naturalism: A natural cause, a mechanism, must be used to explain


how and why the phenomenon occurs. Scientists should not use
supernatural explanations.
Predictability: The natural cause or mechanism of the phenomenon we
are studying can be used to make predictions. Each prediction can be
studied to determine whether it is true or false. If the models are
correct, a series of concrete consequences or effects must be met.

 
Verifiability: The mechanisms must be verifiable through standard
methodologies in science. References to extra-natural or supernatural
events are not adequate checks.

 
Tentative: Scientific theories are subject to revision and correction,
even to the point that they are proven to be inappropriate. Scientific
theories have been and will continue to be modified to achieve an
increasingly consistent explanation of natural phenomena
