Features: What do Sherlock Holmes, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking, two of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, have in common? The answer is: they all possess extraordinary reasoning abilities. In the novel, Holmes can uncover the truth behind mysteries, while Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking can solve some intriguing puzzles in the material world. Science fiction films and novels often portray societies with astonishing cultural diversity, which encourages us to examine our own society and ask why it is the way it is. To put it another way, the ultimate goal of science fiction is to find a space-time coordinate between the society we want to experience and the reality we live in. Of course, the next step is to build the shortest connection between the two. Here, genuine science comes into play.
