So they took the phrase "science fiction" as what warp drives used to be. Then they just dropped the word "fiction" but that is the noun. "Are warp drives science?" does not make grammatical sense, as the word "science" was previously describing what type of fiction it was. The new sentence should read something like "are warp drives science fact now?" Science is a process, not a thing. The term science fiction describes fictions based around the process, or a faux process that seems realistic or may be in the future. If we were to take the same meaning of science as ascribed by the author here, my interpretation is they are equating the word "science" with something like "fact, truth, or reality". Following this, if the then ask what the phrase "science fiction" means in this context, we get "truth fiction"? "reality fiction"? These things don't make much sense to me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction
