Which makes each successive generation of sci-fi storytellers that much less ambitious, because they look back at all of those previous generations of science fiction have have been shown to be absurd by science reality and let it make them self-conscious, and so, even though they resort to the same "using buzzwords to justify magic" bullshit, they become far less ambitious, so as to avoid as much embarrassment when they're inevitably proven wrong themselves. In effect, science has killed science fiction. ;)
I actually created a character who gained his powers from a substance called "Impossibilitium," whose sole defining property was that it would defy whatever the recognized rules of reality were at any given point in human history, to the degree that, if any scientist ever came up with a theory to explain Impossibilitium's properties, Impossibilitium would retroactively alter itself for no other reason than to prove them wrong. :D
