At some point, most Sci-Fi tropes dissolve down to the same handwaving that Magic in a fantasy setting does. What's important is serving the story you want to tell and the themes and mood you want the setting to operate under. For example, Doctor Who presents itself as Sci-Fi but it makes tenuous attempts at best to root anything in actual scientific explanations of effects. It's all ultimately just how you skin the same effects. The Doctor is a wizard. They even use a magic wand.</p></blockquote><p></p>
