Warp Drive a step closer to reality?

[asim18]

If you travel in a straight line at faster than the speed of light how do you navigate and avoid hitting stars, planets, asteroids, space debris etc?

Screw warp drives, I want my hoverboard FGS!

I've already discovered warp drive - my drive to work every day reflects my knowledge

In before the confused people arrive waffling about it just being a "theory"

In seriousness though, the theory has been around for a long time, it's only now that it's being realised, as with all new scientific discoveries.

I have warp drive when I press one of my M buttons.

i could do a lot of things also if i was allowed to make stuff up.

I will be amazed if there is anyone left alive in 200 years.

I'll be amazed if anyone is left alive after 21st December 2012.

I assume it will have a steering wheel.

Surely the effect would be more akin to BSG's FTL drive? Which is infact this they are experimenting on.....instead of star treks warp drive

I think it's a case of most people know Trek, but true SciFi fans know BSG Pleases the masses ;o

Yup, with a shift stick and a brake pedal.

Well they can all **** about with there theorys but once I work out how to exploit dark matter I'll be zipping about all over the universe.

nice to see so many star trek fans

Everyone thinks I'm sad watching the Next Generation.

However, I can't wait for the full season to be released in blu ray.

 

[agnes]

I have never watched a full star trek episode... If I was to start, should I start from the very first episode? Or one paticular season?

 

[4T5]

Start from Picards first episode, But watch the cheese of the original though for the laughs.

I saw clips of the remastering of Next Gen for bluray. They look very, very good, far more than a quick upscale for a fast buck.

Will definitely be acquiring the set. Well depending on price lol.
