<p><b>Science fantasy</b> is a <a href="Hybrid_genre" title="Hybrid genre">hybrid genre</a> within <a href="Speculative_fiction" title="Speculative fiction">speculative fiction</a> that simultaneously draws upon or combines <a href="Trope_(literature)" title="Trope (literature)">tropes</a> and elements from both <a href="Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> and <a href="Fantasy" title="Fantasy">fantasy</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a conventional <a href="Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> story, the world is presented as grounded by the laws of nature and comprehensible by science, while a conventional fantasy story contains mostly <a href="Supernatural" title="Supernatural">supernatural</a> elements that do not obey the <a href="Scientific_law" title="Scientific law">scientific laws</a> of the real world. The world of science fantasy, however, is laid out to be scientifically logical and often supplied with <a href="Hard_science" class="mw-redirect" title="Hard science">hard science</a>–like explanations of any supernatural elements.<sup id="cite_ref-cdm_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cdm-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-erw_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-erw-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>During the <a href="Golden_Age_of_Science_Fiction" title="Golden Age of Science Fiction">Golden Age of Science Fiction</a>, science fantasy stories were seen in sharp contrast to the terse, scientifically plausible material that came to dominate mainstream science fiction, typified by the magazine <i><a href="Analog_Science_Fiction_and_Fact" title="Analog Science Fiction and Fact">Astounding Science Fiction</a></i>. Although science fantasy stories at that time were often relegated to the status of children's entertainment, their freedom of imagination and romance proved to be an early major influence on the "<a href="New_Wave_science_fiction" class="mw-redirect" title="New Wave science fiction">New Wave</a>" writers of the 1960s, who became exasperated by the limitations of hard science fiction.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The term "science fantasy" was coined in 1935 by critic <a href="Forrest_J_Ackerman" title="Forrest J Ackerman">Forrest J. Ackerman</a> as a synonym for science fiction.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the 1950s, the British journalist Walter Gillings considered science fantasy as a part of science fiction that was not plausible from the point of view of the science of the time (for example, the use of nuclear weapons in H.G. Wells' novel <i>The World Set Free</i> was a science fantasy from the point of view of Newtonian physics and a work of science fiction from the point of view of Einstein's theory). In 1948, writer Marion Zimmer (later known as <a href="Marion_Zimmer_Bradley" title="Marion Zimmer Bradley">Marion Zimmer Bradley</a>) called "science fantasy" a mixture of science fiction and fantasy in <i>Startling Stories</i> magazine. Critic Judith Murry considered science fantasy as works of fantasy in which magic has a natural scientific basis. Science fiction critic John Clute chose the narrower term "technological fantasy" from the broader concept of "science fiction".<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The label first came into wide use after many science fantasy stories were published in the American <a href="Pulp_magazine" title="Pulp magazine">pulp magazines</a>, such as <a href="Robert_A._Heinlein" title="Robert A. Heinlein">Robert A. Heinlein</a>'s <i><a href="Magic%2C_Inc." title="Magic, Inc.">Magic, Inc.</a></i>, <a href="L._Ron_Hubbard" title="L. Ron Hubbard">L.

Sprague de Camp">L. Sprague de Camp</a>'s <a href="Harold_Shea" title="Harold Shea">Harold Shea</a> series. All were relatively <a href="Rationalism" title="Rationalism">rationalistic</a> stories published in <a href="John_W._Campbell_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="John W. Campbell Jr.">John W. Campbell Jr.</a>'s <i><a href="Unknown_(magazine)" title="Unknown (magazine)">Unknown</a></i> magazine. These were a deliberate attempt to apply the techniques and attitudes of science fiction to traditional fantasy subjects.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Distinguishing between pure science fiction and pure fantasy, <a href="Rod_Serling" title="Rod Serling">Rod Serling</a> argued that the former was "the improbable made possible" while the latter was "the impossible made probable".<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a combination of the two, science fantasy gives a scientific veneer of <a href="Realism_(arts)" title="Realism (arts)">realism</a> to things that simply could not happen in the real world under any circumstances. Where science fiction does not permit the existence of fantastical or supernatural elements, science fantasy explicitly relies upon them to complement the scientific elements.
</p><p>In explaining the intrigue of science fantasy, Carl D. Malmgren provides an intro regarding <a href="C._S._Lewis" title="C. S. Lewis">C. S. Lewis</a>'s speculation on the emotional needs at work in the subgenre: "In the counternatural worlds of science fantasy, the imaginary and the actual, the magical and the prosaic, the mythical and the scientific, meet and interanimate. In so doing, these worlds inspire us with new sensations and experiences, with [quoting C. S. Lewis] 'such beauty, awe, or terror as the actual world does not supply', with the stuff of desires, dreams, and dread."<sup id="cite_ref-cdm_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cdm-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="Henry_Kuttner" title="Henry Kuttner">Henry Kuttner</a> and <a href="C._L._Moore" title="C. L. Moore">C. L.

</p><p><i><a href="The_Encyclopedia_of_Science_Fiction" title="The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction">The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction</a></i> points out that as a genre, science fantasy "has never been clearly defined", and was most commonly used in the period between 1950 and 1966.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
