Hope I'm not too late to the party.

Are you into science fiction at all? How do most scientists feel about it?

I tend to find that my favorite sci fi comes from people who have more than a layman's understanding of science, physics especially. All of my curiosity about the universe starts with theory. Math is fascinating, but I never had the head for it or the motivation to dedicate the energy to make myself learn it at a high level.

Thanks so much for answering me. I've wondered about this for years. I wonder what the relationship is like between scientists and science fiction authors/creators. What are your favorite sci fi things?

Sentient or sapient? I feel like this is a big difference that most people ignore. Sentient life would be remarkable to discover, but sapient life would change absolutely everything about every aspect of our lives.
