Any scientific principle is fodder for a Science Fiction story. Even some of the most mundane facts have been used as a central concept.
For example:
the distances between the planets was the central concept of Fred Saberhagens story 'The Long March',
the laws of momentum were used in Tom Godwin's horrific story 'The Cold Equation'.

When did science fiction begin?

From the Earth To the Moorn (l869 as I recall) by Verne. Old Jules never used the sobriquet ( science-fiction) though he founded the genre. Earlier Edgar Allen Poe did some way-out fantasies- the narrative of A.Gordon Pym which dealt with hollow-earth and reversed gravity fields near the polar regions-and as there was some element of scientific speculation there, that might be considered pioneer sci- fi There are even elements- such as a longer differential life span- 300 years for mermaids- in the fantasy novels of Hans Christian Andersen! Andersen also theorized the Mermaids dissolved into the water a the end of this period- neatly avoiding any bodies or fossils being found by explorers, a neat science-fictional touch! Science fiction isn't anything new, only the classification is new. Science fiction can be found in the Legend of Daedalus all the way back in the bronze age.
