How do you get around the cascade effect of the secondary transducer found under the unsymmetrical-dymethal hydrozine pumps? You know.....right next to the red fuming nitric acid injectors? Does the 255 farad capacitor help the continuity stabalize and slow the reverse polarity of the linear motor control? I kept having trouble with the 480 three faze dropping a leg and stopping the flock tanks from clearing out.

I've had owner's workshop manuals. Yes, they help with basic maintenance, but they don't help with more complex problems like regenerating the engergy balance between photon torpedoes and shields.

This one might cover it, I've never really had occasion to look it up before. If not, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I mean, they've got a whole planet of Vulcans so I figure if they're still patching that many inner tubes....really, how advanced can their stuff be?

Aw, somebody's messing around with ya with that transporter beam again . . . .

OK, given whichever quantum physics route ya take, and whichever theory (string, M, etc.) ya still gotta worry about not running into anything while travelling at light speed. There's that damn Heisenberg uncertainty principle again (no, not the one wondering how far "Bad" Walter White will break, the other one . . . )

Actually no. From what the math says the ship would feel nothing, it may alter course somewhat but no damage. BUT what they hit (or rather went thru) would not do so good. It is suspected doing so to a star/sun would force a nova or supernova.

I've got a Honda lawn mower engine, that will double the power for you.

I read this article the other day. After they figure how to do that, they'll need to figure out how to stop the effect of acceleration on the body. Speed of light = 300,000,000 meters/sec. Continuous acceleration at 3 Gs would take 10 million seconds to get to light speed (or 115 days, 17 hrs., 56 min., and 40 seconds). Try sitting on the pot or eating at 3 Gs.

Well the g-forces would only register during acceleration. While coasting (and in space you can coast a long way) you would not feel it.

Your post doesn't solve anything but I'm happy to know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

Okay. Quick show of hands. How many of you have Spock ears and blue, red or gold colored uniforms hanging in the closet? Be honest now.

Also the first person who is willing to admit they have the Geordi La Forge glasses gets a free padded case for a Ruger LCR if I can find it.

Investing in a red shirt, unless you are a main character, is a bad idea! They are usually the first ones to go!

Personally, I've always been a fan of the Bergenholm drive, anyway.

Me too. Doc Smith really knew his stuff!

Its true space is bent already by sheer gravity. But to actually fold space like the theory here....yeah... that's going to take some doing... I too am not a theoretical physicist.. lol. Its going to be interesting to see what they discover or alter to make this possible...

Well if we can fold soup, why not space? Steve Martin's been doing it since the '70's.

Reminds me of an old Steve Martin piece which I find here:
Soup Folding. First prepare the soup of your choice and pour it into a bowl. Then, take the bowl and quickly turn it upside down on a cookie tray. Lift the bowl ever so gently so that the soup retains the shape of the bowl. Gently is the key word here. Then, with a knife cut the soup down the middle into halves, then quarters, and gently reassemble the soup into a cube. Some of the soup will have run off onto the cookie tray. Lift this soup up by the corners and fold slowly into a cylindrical soup staff. Square off the cube by stuffing the cracks with this cylindrical soup staff. Place the little packet in your purse or inside coat pocket, and pack off to work. When that lunch bell chimes, impress your friends by forming the soup back into a bowl shape, and enjoy! Enjoy it until the day when the lunchpail comes back into vogue and we won’t need soup folding or cornstalks up the leg

That was the super weapon used in the "Space Marines" series. Worked good too.

Come on guys, give me a break. You're talking to a guy that took algebra I three times and tried to get credit for algebra III. You lost me at Suzuki. That's a motorcycle right? Point and shoot I understand, point and click sounds like a lack of ammunition. I'm so confused

I'm guessing you're only following this thread because someone is holding a gun to your head. Right?
Don't feel bad. I have to hold a gun to my own head in order to make myself click on it.

What math?
