Clonus Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Answered Wed You will get a flood of answers saying “Star Trek”. They are all wrong or at least right for the wrong reason, because paying more attention to your “science” isn’t the same thing as getting it right. The more specifics you get into about how things work, particularly when you draw up on real life scientific terminology, the more opportunities you will have to get things wrong and Star Trek has made the most of that. No, a cosmic string isn’t something you can run into. You can’t make a hole in an event horizon and fly through it. The particles of the week are all phony. Spiders are not part of humanity’s ancestry. Replicators should not be able to magically conjure up stuff for free with no need for power and raw materials. Evolution doesn’t want anything and doesn’t operate in the absence of reproductive selection. Time travel violates causality and had different rules for how to deal with that every time it showed up. Human memory is not holographically stored in every single cell so you can grow a mature clone with all the memories of the original. Separately evolved species can not interbreed. Negative space wedgies are arbitrary nonsense. So when people say “Star Wars is fantasy”…as opposed to the setting where you meet all those space elves, witches, gods and demons and can get turned into a newt… …and therefore it is less scientifically accurate, they are wrong. The very fact that Star Wars is more action oriented and less concerned with plotlines where you take a totally impossible scientific problem and apply an equally unreal technical solution means that Star Trek will provide you a lot more scientific misinformation even if Star Wars gets one thing consistently wrong, the lack of atmospheric pressure in space. Of course that one thing may outweigh all the others. Certified 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of the matter replicators from Star Trek operating without a power source. As far as raw material goes...i've heard that dishes, cutlery and leftover food are all recyclable with a replicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a central element of the TNG setting that everything is free, and the explanation for how Voyager could lose dozens of shuttlecraft and never run out is "replicators".

Ragitsu Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Since when is faro a business? - Didn't you always say that gambling's an honest trade? - No. I said poker's an honest trade. Only suckers buck the tiger's odds all on the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
