Just because many of the words have the same defenition doesn't invalidate the dictionary. Besides there are other defenitions
Heisenburgs Uncertainty Principal - Almost never applies in sci-fi.

Tachyon - I know this is a really fast particle, I just know nothing else about it. Typically used for communications.

Quantum - A cool sounding word that implies vast improvements that are never explained eg "Quantum torpedos". Very few of the devices will actually utilise either quantum mechanics or involve photons, thus its use is a mystery.
