Perhaps we should clarify that FF-1 is science fiction for the moment, as it is testing hypotheses and theory.
Disagree. “fiction” means “not true, or not real”. There is real science being undertaken in these experiments, real hypotheses being tested, and independently-reproducible results being generated. Clearly, this is not fiction.
I used the word fiction in that case to mean that which has not yet been proven. Predicting surface conditions of a gas giant is science fiction.
