I read the whole page from that nasa link that you give. It appears that the scientist who wrote that article doesn't understand star trek technology all that well.
He mentioned phaser technology and didn't exactly understand what it was. Phasers are supposed to be lasers that operate out of phase with space-time. There are other technologies he doesn't quite understand in star trek as well, so his conclusions aren't exactly accurate either.
Just a nitpick  |
I'm glad you did. I enjoy Star Trek and noticed that other Trek-things were covered but didn't get around to reading it and now won't bother. Well to redeem myself somewhat I'll toss in
this link.
This from the same site discusses the "Alcubierre warp drive" .. the rest of the site looks interesting as well (although after that Trek link I won't vouch for it until I read it! :wink: )
