Science Fiction uses science as a basis -- when you write "SciFi," your scientific facts must be accurate or plausible based on today's scientific knowledge. The only other form of fiction which must have solid facts underneath the story is historical fiction, which must be accurate for a certain time period.
Frankenstein is not romantic its Gothic Science Fiction. Try the books of Jane Austin for romance.
it depends what you are telling apart

You didn't say what genre you're worried about! For example, when writing science fiction, you must have your science facts in place or your story will fall apart and the readers will brand you a fake and not read your stories again. With mysteries, you have to provide a hard enough puzzle without it being totally insolvable. And with historical fiction, you have to have your history facts right.
Yes, it is fantasy, but is explained away in the last sequence as a nightmare, in that sense it could have happened. this denouement was very rarely used in science Fiction but occasionally as a (trap door) escape hatch from really weird or impossible situations,one could change back to scale one reality. (wizard) is one of the few feature films-as apart from Twilight zone stuff, that uses this discredited story-telling tactic, a plot can get very involved-one gropes for answers- and voom- only a bad dream.
It is not a Gothic novel, though it has some Gothic or (woodsy horror) elements the plot is taken apart by the Detective Sherlock Holmes as a matter of deductive logic, not some sort of supernatural action, like werewolves. The story is a detective or mystery/crime novel and not in any sense of the word a science-fiction novel I do not know why or how it got on the(Science Fiction) category.
As humans we have a hard time telling penguins apart. However, They can tell each other apart by distinct vocalizations.
it is apart of science!
The normal reaction to gravity is attraction. Gravity tries to pull the two objects closer together. A negative reaction would be that the two objects try to push apart. Sounds like science fiction.
