Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

So true.

I'd have to recommened the professionals, you could really get hurt.

LOL!

Well, so much for not getting into the details.

Master_Q, I'm not overlooking the details of the Warp Theory, I just didn't expand on it because it is hard to explain coherently, but so much for that!

Alright, this is based on a theory about the atomic structure of space called "Subspace Theory" - it is based on the accumulated properties of subspace shown in ST. While this theory could be pertinent to the "real" universe, there really isn't any evidence for subpsace existing.

First, what is subspace?

Bascially, our universe is like a giant 4-D Onion, we exist in one 3-D layer, and subspace is a collection of layers "below" (4-D) us. Also, the atomic structure of space is similar enough to matter so that space can have a density value - subspace is more dense based on the same relative distaces based on an absolute extra-universal measurment system. This means that subspace is "smaller" with the same amount of relative "spatial mass". What warp drive does is it "links" normal space with subspace (only in front of the ship) causing normal space to become "more dense" or "smaller" or "shorter" The matter (spaceship) does not get distorted, it moves on to the shortened space and the space returns to normal behind the ship. This is bascially how it works. Of course, with diagrams all this would be much more clear.

I'd also have to vote physics - although it was very close, I like math and biology a lot.

Cool!

Thanks a lot ddillard!!! This new chat room is awesome!!!

LOL! That's hilarious!

Sounds Cool!

This really belongs in the HOLODECK (previously in Off Topic).

Maybe Jean-Luc has been holidaying on Mars?

LOL! Good one!

Well... neither of those explanations are quite correct.  There is someone (who I am of course helping) I know who is working on a flash program which will explain exactly how warp drive (theory) works, but alas, they are not finished.

 

The basic idea is it uses subspace to "warp" space - essentially making the distance in front of the ship smaller.  (the intricate spatial details I will refrain from mentioning here - unless you would like me to elaborate?) This is a quite vague explanation - but without numerous diagrams and some prior knowledge of the nature of subspace, really hard to explain.

 

Remember: this is how it works in Star Trek - not necessarily how it would work in our universe.

so when your done working on this flash program are ya gonna share so we can better understand the theory of warp drive? didnt i hear something on one of the tlc or discovery shows on nasa that they are working on variables of warp drive, and that they have ideas that have come from the show?

Yes. I'll be sure to share the link. And - it is suppossed to have some thoeries about how Warp Drive might actually work. (without subspace)

Daaang, man. See a psychiatrist! You shouldn't kill yourself because you don't have a girlfriend!!! Get a hold of yourself!

I have never been in any, but have seen a few, and also have watched specials on how they make them look so real - like the exploding buttons.

Hi!  Your friendly neighborhood Time Warner Cable customer service rep here!  Both the Trek and WWE programming will continue to be seen on the new SpikeTV.

That's what I had heard too.

Wow The vareity of names is truly amazing.

LOL!!! A bit unusual, but nevertheless hilarious!

I watched it for a while - it's a pretty cool show. B)

Welcome to StarTrekFans.net!!! I am sure there will be something you will find interesting enough to reply to here!

Be sure to check out the DS9 board!!!

I think this is such a great place because - we have great members and moderators - and of course VaBeachGuy!

The people who make ST.com so bad thrive there because no one can stop them - here we can!
