The old Sci-Fi Masters ( and yes I know some of them hated that term) used hard science to base their stories on all the time. Even though the science changed (rather what we know or think has changed) the stories still had a "real" feel to them, even when they had bizarre situations. Modern authors would benefit from a science refresher course now and then. :) The idea is very cool and with merit.

I believe that science fiction and real-world science are strongly interlinked... certainly there are plenty of scientists out there who got their first taste for their field by reading (or watching) SF.
