It doesn't? Einstein filled his inability to accept observations of the universe's expansion with a fictional constant. The constant is still being tossed around to this day.

Sad hypocrite then. I knew it.
Here you are, arguing about how things are, completely convinced you're right because it's you who made the argument, when you're demonstrably wrong about a lot of things, and other things (like the one below) are just strawmen.

Sci-fi is a mixture of science and fiction. It takes a concept or idea or fact from science and pushes it to the brink.
Are X-Men possible? No. Are mutations possible? Yes.
Is space travel possible? Yes. Is controlling a black hole in order to do it possible? Probably not.
Are aliens possible? Yes. Do they look like little grey men? Probably not.
Ok then, "all this" is a result of a unicorn with a human head, metal horn, and rubber legs, who has a cape with "U" on it's chest, which works for a quantum billions of Bill Gates and we are mere waves on this motherboard run by those Gates and unicorns. WHAT you say? Gibberish? But I thought you said fiction is part of science?
QM does postulate an absurd amount of "Possibilities" but again, the ability to utter something does not make it true by default. Books of myth are fiction too, we call them holy books because people treat them as fact. I would say talking donkeys are science fiction because for them to literally be true, they would defy science.
Holy books are science fiction too. Otherwise their super heros would be true by proxy of utterance. I see no difference between "all powerful" super hero, and a guy with a cape who is limited in power but has powers that defy science. NO difference, fiction is fiction, religious or si fi.
If you are treating Men In Black or Star Trek as a science classroom beyond metaphor, you are not "imagining" any better than someone with a god claim.
Don't gap fill does not mean "never imagine", there are still REAL ways to do that and crappy ways to "imagine". Go back and watch that video and read that link.
