Very nice. He really has contributed ALOT to humanity.

Something new is always good.

I'd have to say Spock.

Is it a glass of Romulian Ale?

Very cool.

Has anybody seen what's on the International Movie Data Base site regarding Star Trek? Apparantly movie number eleven is in production with the working title "Borg Encounter". Anybody else seen anything?

They're making new episodes? Time? Date? Network? I'm on the east coast

I am a trek and J. Michael Straczinski fan (Creator of Babylon 5)

I prefer TNG.

This is a man who knows people in the trek universe, the question piqued my interest , the answer had my mind whiring.

Hm. How could he "know" people in the ST universe? lol.

Now whilst ENT wasn't the worlds best show, most peolpe will agree there was a change in it in the quality of the stories and the Answer JMS gave this poster made me think.

What does "ENG" stand for?

If the powers that be meddled so much in Voyager and made it a sub par (when comparred to DS9 TNG and the original) Could it not have happened with ENT too?

Probably. I think Captain Picard has been the best Captain The older ones are alright, just a bit dated, TNG is tolerable due to its exceptional cast.

Einstein's law of relativity said that to be able to travel back in time, you'd have to travel faster than the speed of light. However, to attain the speed of light, you'd need infinite energy.

Would you? How about solar power?

However, protons (the basis of light) can be affected by gravity and atmosphere. If light travels through an atmosphere, it bends. Anything that "bends", in relation to its course, must slow down first. So if a ray of light bends, doesn't it slow down?

I'm not sure.

Additionally, anything with matter (and protons do have matter, though not as everything else we know of), speeds up as it approaches in object with enough gravitational force. So, if a ray of light is caught in the gravitational well of a black hole, wouldn't it speed up?

I believe the black hole sucks in the light, as well as everything else. Speed up? Not sure. I would think that light would remain as the same speed at all times.

To sum it up, the speed of light is not a constant. So, wouldn't Einstein's "infinite energy" theory become irrelevant?

But are you sure it's not constant?

Also, to gain infinite energy, you could harness a gravity well. As long as you had an anti-grav containment field around it, you'd be okay, plus you could potentially harness this never-ending energy source.

Interesting. Why would this be a necessity?

Okay, that last part is pure speculation on my side, but what if? I'd like your opinion on this.

How about if we could absorb great amounts of solar power? Should be infinite energy in space.

I was wondering if there's anyone that would be interested in a real life real life Federation project? Not like fan clubs, but movements that 'act' as if they're the Federation? If not, that would be so cool. Alot of people would be interested in that [including me] As the federation is about equality and dismantling traditional forms of wealth, it fits in really well with my views. I'm not saying a replica of the Federation, an organization that is based on the Federation.

The only real life example I can think of that would be similar would be micronations, thousands do exist:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronation

I'm a citizen of "The Empire of Aerica" and there's like 100 citizens altogether in there, but yeah, I wish there was one based on the Star Trek federation

Basically the Federation allowed anyone to join voluntarily, so it would be like an open membership world movement, a government, an economy that runs like it, just basically a compilation of everything.

I think it would be a good idea to drop the Star Trek races, they're cool, but not realistic. What does everyone think? I tried to google thing, just surprised no more hardcore fan never thought about starting up something like this.

BTW The Next Generation was my favorite :P

The actual economy of the Federation is something called "PARECON" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_economics

Enjoy! :P
