It might be the Star Trek episode- For the Earth is Hollow and I have touched the Sun. This dealt with a starship that was externally camouflaged to resemble an asteroid or small planet. the short story version was neatly anthologized by James Blish who adapted many Trek stuff into collections of short tales. It is worth reading. The concept might be loosely compared to ( Spaceship Earth) which was a concept associated with Buckminster Fuller. ( engineer and architect but NOT a Science Fiction writer!)
I believe you are thinking about 'The Microscopic God' by Theodore Sturgeon.
What if... Science fiction investigates possibilities.
Science fiction is a fiction that shows how humans cope with science and use science to solve humanities problems. Sometimes the fiction shows us that the abilities to use science will clash with morality.
A real forest is science non fiction. If something is written about trees becoming sentient and interacting with people, that would be science fiction.
Ray Bradbury once said that science fiction is the only fiction that deals with technology and the problems we face today. It allows us to predict what problems might come about because of an invention or medical discovery.
Science fiction uses science to predict problems caused by science or solve problems using science. It may have locations other than Earth. It may be set in the future or the past. It may involve alien lifeforms. It may ask the question "What if?"
Daily Science is something that your science teachers give you and it has questions on it about science it is stupid
Science Fiction is a fiction based on science.
Science fiction
Got to be something by Terry Pratchett
"Frankestein" is a Science Fiction novel,or gothic science fiction.
Some would say that science fiction excludes fantasy but Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Science fiction authors have mixed science fiction with all other forms of literature. There are science fiction lyrics to songs, science fiction poetry, science fiction mixed with humor, science fiction mixed with westerns, science fiction mixed with romance.
