Science fiction and science fact are often in dialogue, each one pushing the other and sometimes transcending the rigid boundaries of their disciplines. This exhibit intermingles the two, illustrating how science has provided a factual basis for what were once flights of fancy and illuminating how stories have intuited phenomena before science, technology and circumstance have caught up to prove them.
