We can define science fiction or "sci-fi" as a literary genre of fiction, non-real but based on science possibilities. The characters, plots, situations, machines, or devices can be based on scientific probabilities or future discoveries. For instance, space travel to other planets with humanoids living there or in another galaxy is part of science fiction.
