Six Scientists List the Most Realistic Works of Science Fiction within Their Fields

Annalee Newitz of io9 asked six prestigious scientists to provide examples of realistic works of science fiction. Dave Goldberg, a physicist at Drexel, argued that the first Terminator movie provided the most reasonable presentation of time travel:

The entire thing is a completely self-consistent time loop, from John Conner's parentage and survivalist training, to the picture of Sarah Conner that finds its way to Kyle Reese. No grandfather paradoxes at all, but there are information paradoxes.


Other science fiction works that receive favorable reviews include 2001, Firefly, and The Handmaid's Tale.
