Star Trek's Warp Drive: Are We There Yet?

[winston]

We must have had the same mother.

[Tarrbot]

Kira, and that doesn't count Sunday sales.

I don't believe any of those numbers given for weekend sales count Sunday sales.

[kiramdear]

Sunday's not even over yet where I am.

[Tarrbot]

Brian, are you suggesting you're a long lost brother of mine?



You wouldn't happen to have a 4001 or 4003 laying about that you could loan your brother, would you? Any condition is fine.

I guess technically, Sunday is over where I'm at and I need to start the arduous task of settling in for the night. Or maybe that's what I'm doing now.

I have one of each actually..............but a DNA test and execution of an asset based lending contract with suitable collateral is mandatory.

ram states:

– Relativity assumes that space is the same everywhere....

But until we have some quantification to think otherwise, it is foolhardy to believe it isn't the same everywhere.

What quantification do we have to think that space IS the same everywhere? Since none of us has been there, we really have no way of knowing other than what the scientific train of thought is on the matter based on what they currently believe to be true. Particle accelerators have nearly reached light speed and have yeilded no appreciative conclusions on the matter, so I really don't see how considering other options is "foolhardy". Keeping an open mind and thinking outside of the box is of the upmost importance in trying to discover these secrets, as overlooking any detail that may seem unlikely could be counterproductive.

Who would have believed that mold on bread led to the discovery of the most signifigant anti-biotic in history?

Just my opinions on the subject, and yes, Daleks can be pretty scary.

I think Mr. Snow just knocked Mr. spock out of the Science Officer's chair.

[deaconblues]

Doubt should be encouraged, but science has to accept theories based on 100% of concrete evidence at present - that's how science works. When new information is found, it will be worked into the model or a new model will emerge.

There could be an invisible pink unicorn in the next room, but should I believe it's there simply because it could be?

[winston]

The nature of science itself contains the history of those who theorized, pursued and tackled their quarry until they were able to prove it existed. There are many unknown frontiers yet to be explored. It is a fascinating subject that has brought many closer to understanding our existence as they have wandered through its mysterious hallways.

May the force be with you.............

[whojamfan]

Oh great, now my invisible pink unicorns are under attack have you no faith man

[winston]

My unicorns are white...........

[whojamfan]

My unicorns are white...........

I thought you had a Pegasus? BTW, never play leapfrog with a unicorn

[winston]

There's only one winged horse named Pegasus. Everyone knows that Mike........ Leapfrog on a unicorn would definitely not be a good idea.

Yeah, but that was yours, I've seen the album covers

We come in peace... shoot to kill... I've seen every ST:TNG episode when they first aired (mind, on Auntie Beeb) I might or might not go watch that film... highly illogical...
