A Si Fi watchmaker.

[AFTT47]

Si fi is not science anymore than religion explains anything.

NO KIDDING! Who's claiming that it is? Lots of people (including probably the majority of scientists and engineers) are inspired by it but I've never met a single person who thinks a thing is real because of some science fiction they read or watched. I'm sure some exist but they are harmless. Do you see dilithium crystals working their way into text books or politicians insisting that we need to establish relations with the Romulans? It's a non-issue.

Like I said, the experts at the top of science already have enough of a hard time even with everything they get right without laypeople gap filling and assuming what they are really saying.

What are you saying here? The scientific process is hindered because of something non-scientists think? How?

The reason I say Si fi isn't even science is because you watch tons of it you will understand most of it goes nowhere and will never be a reality. Ideas have to be tested, not merely claimed.

Who is claiming anything? Sure, people may explore the possibilities of how this or that fictional technology might actually be achieved. So what? What do you care if somebody does claim that such and such a device can actually be built and they don't justify it? Where is the harm? Is it going to have any impact on actual design and engineering?

It sounds like you just can't make peace with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way you do or has the same priorities. If that's the case, you are in for a lifetime of frustration and misery.
