All Good Things

I think it was an inverse Tachyon beam anyway. But, on to the question!

 

They said the anomoly was created by the 3 beams with the same frequency intersecting in the same place in 3 different time periods. But if the beam came from the Pasteur wouldn't it be different. I can't remember if they changed the frequency but how would they know the frequency?

 

Any thoughts?

Picard set it up and was involved extensively in all 3 time periods. I just assumed he had something to do with the frequency, that they didn't bother to show us.

They used a beam of the saem frequency to penetrate the anomaly and scan it, the beam had to be that given frequency, and it was on a federation carrier wave to boot...

that beam must have its own frequency to do what they want it to do.

 

So when the future Data told Picard about the beam they tried it, which annitiated the formation of the anomaly.

 

Later he informed the present & past data to do the same thing. So basically it should be the same Freqs.

 

the first beam only started the anomaly, in the Present they enhence it more by a 2nd beam, the past enhenced it more which covers the entire quadrant in the way past. :)

 

In other words, they don't need 3 beams to make the anomaly come to life, 1 is sufficient, but the other beams are just making it grow only.

Actually, having three beams converge on the same area of space at the same frequency at three different periods is what caused the annomoly.

 

The anomoly emitted out anti-time, that's why it got bigger as it went further into the past.

If that's true then how can they create the anomaly in the first place?

 

without the anomaly for them to scan, there's no reason for them to use the beam.

 

& if they don't use the beam 3 times then the anomaly won't appear.

 

no anomaly no beam - no beam no anomaly.

 

lol

That's why it's a paradox, as Data said.
