Some SF can also illustrate real world concepts of science. For example The Quantum Connection by Travis S. Taylor illustrates a good number of concepts that are part of modern Quantum Mechanics. If I were to try to read some of the complex books on the subject I may well become hopelessly lost what with all the complex maths but when presented in a story I can get the gist of a given concept (such as Quantum connectedness or Cosmic Consciousness) without becoming lost.
