He knew those things to teach you but didn’t like Star Trek? Was he a Star Wars fan?

    I don't think Star Trek is very hard sci-fi.

    Edit: to say that, I don't think an interest in physics will naturally lead you to space fiction. And I don't think "space" is the natural conclusion of "physics."

    Compared to Star Wars, Star Trek is pretty fkin hard scifi.

    Star Trek isn't hard hard scifi, no, there's a bunch of completely soft fantasy elements like the holodecks and whatnot, but compared to Star Wars, it's still pretty hard.

    I could see a person who reads and cares about scientific non fiction content might be easily bothered by how often reversing polarity solves the problem.

    Some people just don't like consuming fictional content as a passtime.
