[edit] Hard science fiction or space opera, pick one
Space opera and hard science fiction are mutually exclusive genres. One is defined by is mythic unrealistic qualities, while the other is defined by its hard edge realistic hard science. You can't be both at once. --Primalchaos 14:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Incorrect. Space opera is defined by romance and adventure. Unrealistic qualities are obviously common, but not necessarily so. All "hard science fiction" really means is that it only involves technology that could potentially exist. Yes, you can be both, although it is not very common. Hard science fiction is contrasted with soft science fiction, which can have practically anything.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.30.195.75 (talk • contribs).
- If you'd read the books, you wouldn't be saying that --Closedmouth 08:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
