No, science fiction technology is not rooted in science. Warp drive is not rooted in science. The holodeck is not rooted in science. Lightsabers are not rooted in science. The reason it's called 'fiction' is because it's -not- rooted in scientific theories. It's pure speculation, regardless of how you gussy it up with scientific-sounding explanations. Can do exactly the same thing with magic, as Asimov did with telepathy for instance.
