Arglebargle III posted:Just to be clear warp drive isn't nonsense, there have been real papers published about it. Now it requires matter with a negative mass and would kill everyone on board with Cerenkov radiation if you ever tried to stop but it's a little more fleshed out than "there are spores everywhere, and somehow we fold space" To be fair, Miguel Alcubierre came up with it well after Star Trek and was actually inspired by it. The fact that Star Trek's warp drive is actually theoretically possible and would work almost just like how it does in the show was kind of an accident. I think it would be cool if in Star Trek, someone tries to go into warp on a planetary surface and accidentally take a chunk of the ground that got caught in the warp bubble with them like in Macross.

It would produce all kinds of wacky time travel paradoxes and causality violations. If it's truly something that is possible in nature, it's gonna break the universe in some pretty hilarious ways. It's definitely not something you casually do while wearing pyjamas and drinking earl grey tea on a spaceship.

Baronjutter posted:Do their pins control their volume/contrast? I'll spoiler block this, but evidently the planet they are on dictates that every crime's guilty/innocent thing is voted in by the entire population. Presumably, those are their voting apparatus. Also, why are we not taking about Alara's hat.

Warp drive isn't really FTL, it's a janky workaround that contracts/ expands space instead so the ship is only moving faster than light from distant reference frames. The trick is that the space between the destination and the origin gets a lot shorter. And the trick is that the ship has negative mass and kills you.
