Well, perhaps Jean Painlevé is suggesting that science, like fiction, is a construct of the human mind. Science often involves creating theories and models that may not be absolute truths, much like the fictional worlds created in literature. For example, some scientific concepts are based on assumptions and interpretations, just as fictional stories are built on the author's imagination.
Maybe it means that for Jean Painlevé, science has an aspect of the fictional in that it often involves creating scenarios and ideas that are not immediately obvious or provable. Just like in fiction, there is a sense of building something new.
His ideas also touch on how science fiction shapes our perception of the future. Science fiction can create anticipatory images of the future that may or may not come to pass. According to Baudrillard, these images are not just innocent projections but are part of a larger cultural mechanism. They can influence how we act in the present, as we either strive towards or try to avoid the futures depicted in science fiction.
In '1984', while not strictly a typical science fiction in terms of technology, the totalitarian society depicted can be related to Baudrillard's ideas. The Party creates a false reality for the people, controlling their perception of truth. It shows how power can use the concept of simulation to maintain control, which is in line with Baudrillard's exploration of the power dynamics in relation to the creation of false realities.
