Fancy Science Words

There is very little that makes an author's science fiction story feel  more realistic than accurate scientific terminology, if it is properly used. Like any literary spice these terms must be carefully judged and weighed for cooking. Too many can bog a story down and make it unreadable. While it is possible to write a science fiction story without scientific jargon it is a hard sell. One way is to write it from the perspective of a character of lesser intelligence or education but it is most often best to have some long fancy science words in there. Of course some terms are simply so striking that the beg to have a story written around them. 

Nephelometric Turbidity Units

Hint, it actually is related to the picture above!
