No. Fiction is basically a story that isn't true.

It can be sci-fi with unreal things like vampires, werewolves, or a neon blue hamster that speaks 13 different languages, including French and German. Since none of this can be scientifically proven (yet) they're fiction but also sci-fi.

Science Fiction is a subgenre of fiction that incorporates scientific and technological elements into its storytelling, often exploring speculative or futuristic concepts. While all science fiction is considered fiction, not all fiction falls under the classification of science fiction. Fiction is a broader category that encompasses any narrative that is not based on real events.

No it is fiction. Some of the ideas that were "fiction" 50 years ago have now become possible and are in use, but for the most part the "fiction" in science fiction is not real nor true.
