Is Science Fiction a Gateway to Real Science?

In summary, science fiction has often been seen as a gateway to real science, with many works of fiction inspiring and predicting future scientific advancements. The genre has also been a platform for exploring ethical and philosophical questions surrounding the use and impact of technology. However, it is important to recognize that science fiction is not a substitute for real science and should not be relied upon as a source of factual information. While it can spark interest and curiosity in scientific concepts, it is ultimately up to real scientists and researchers to turn these ideas into reality.

LOL, nah. Luckily we have a Sci-Fi section to keep you amused. 
And when you're ready to learn about real science, we have lots of technical forums about mainstream science that will help you learn lots.
