A Aspiring Mogul Jan 16, 2023 #1 This article highlights the problems with writing science fiction that accords with reality. In terms of aliens speaking English, Star Trek used a plot device - the universal translator - that dealt with the problem. But it did not deal with the issue that planets, even if similar to Earth, will not be exactly like Earth, which means they are not suitable for standard adventures. And that has opportunities for interesting stories. Last edited: Jan 16, 2023
