Of course it does because logic can be used in hypothetical scenarios.
No, I disagree. Fiction can allow ANYTHING to happen, even if it is internally contradictory. Let me give you an example:
Jesus is sitting around bored one day and thinks "hey, I can do anything!" So he decides to create an unmovable force in the form of a wall made entirely of bullshit. Jesus then starts to run toward the the wall, slowly building up his velocity until he hits "ludicrous speed". Jesus has now become an unstopable force to be reckoned with! Upon impact, we see bullshit fly everywhere, along with arms, legs, assholes and elbows. This event is what we now call "the big bang".
I appreciate your support of logic, and I too support it with enthusiasm. But dont let it take your humanity away. Fiction is the ONLY exception of the rule. Fiction has no boundaries, no rules, and drives the creativity of mankind as well as being birthed by the creativity of mankind. Fiction can inspire everything and nothing, laughter and sorrow, joy and anger all in a single sentence.
