Something I got to thinking about re: Differentiating Science Fiction and Fantasy. That is, certain tropes (space travel, time travel, multiple dimensions) seem to push fiction into being Science Fiction. That is not to say that there hasn't been fantasy with such tropes (SpellJammer, Illithids and Penumbra, DragonStar). I don't find a lot of "Space Opera" cast as fantasy.
Is it that space travel and a description of the galaxy and space-time are just too much modern? (With the equivalence: Medieval thinking just did not have these ideas, although they did have Fae, and perhaps Shadow, and celestial realms.)
Not sure if there is a question here, but I find this outcome to be curious.
Thx!
