1420: Real Words from Sci Fi Oct 31, 2018

It's much easier to introduce meaning to an old word than to make a new one. This is true of words in the sci fi genre that have since become common parlance. A few words like this include terms like 'deep space', 'zero-gravity', and arguably 'robotics'. All of these come from fictional works in the 1930's and 1941, and to varying extents, scientists have embraced all of these in an official capacity. The reason that 'robotics' is debatable here is that 'robot' is a much older word, but the first known use with the suffix comes from Liar!, written by Isaac Asimov. In this way, it is a bit like how Shakespeare created words.
