I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins as is Dave beyond Ghostbusters.

1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.

That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology taking advantage of better tools methods and organization.

When I was a kid I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein ' 'The Creeping Unknown ' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet ' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies generally.

Nevertheless as is a frequent occurrence in science a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.

In this time of budget cuts we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.

Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science the way you had to be in England in the 17th 18th centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can and the information that they need to do it is there.

Of course not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments but for the people who are willing to go out and do that - if the experiments don't work then it means it's not science.

When I did 'Battlestar Galactica' it was the first time I really understood science fiction. That was a very political drama but set in spaceships so people didn't really take it seriously. But some really fascinating things were explored in that.
