CBS/Paramount sucks, Hulu sucks, Amazon is awful hulu works fine for me, doesn't fight my ad-blocker, but then maybe my buddy pays for the ad-free. Netflix browser doesn'y play HD content which kind of sucks. Supposedly the app does, but in my experience the app didn't play well with other programs or games and also didn't let you screenshot.

Human scientists in Star Trek are like that one friend who just breaks videogames in unexpected ways. The one that figures out how to abuse physics to make things fall out of the world, or launch players at insane velocities just with a box and a well-timed door. Only now they do it with actual physics to the utter horror of the galaxy at-large. "We left our senior researcher alone in a room with an analogue clock, a battery, a tricorder, and a comm badge. When we came back the clock was turning backwards, the battery was drained, and he'd turned into a toddler. And we don't know how  "

I really wonder how non-human civilizations discovered warp flight, because I’m pretty sure most of them didn’t first achieve warp 1 by riding a nuclear warhead into space while spectacularly hungover.

I'm assuming by having large groups of science type people thinking and experimenting with the technology for large periods of time in safe lab type environments and test fields. Or asking their local god entity for one really, really nicely.

Paper Lion posted:it could have been an issue if it was a spec script character or something but staff writer contributions are a lot easier to defend as being something belonging to the show that they can own and reuse as they wish. i would assume staff contracts had clauses about work produced belonging to the studio. Now i wonder if Starfleet has any kind of physical training requirements? Disco showed them going for a run through the ship, but I don't know if they expect to keep certain times.

I think replicators kinda put paid to obesity in general unless you REALLY go for gorging yourself (Or just go for "real" food constantly), simply because it's stated that while you're getting something like a chocolate sundae that tastes and looks right it's made up of none of the naughty fats, sugars, and calories a real one is. Theoretically you could have a full rack of ribs, chips, and sides morning noon and night and still merely be getting a nutritionally balanced diet from its actual composition.

There's probably a lax minimum requirement of being able to lift X kilos at standard gravity... or travel 100m in X seconds. It can get ableist which probably isn't what Starfleet should be about. Some species just might not be able to run as fast as others, and I don't think the Federation would forbid a Horta from joining Starfleet. Or an avian/aquatic species just because they can't run on land or inside a corridor fast.

Planck time is just an artefact of the existence of the Planck length in a universe with a hard capped speed of light. Fight me.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Planck time is just an artefact of the existence of the Planck length in a universe with a hard capped speed of light. No need to fight, this is absolutely true. There's nothing significant about Planck units other than that in certain contexts they are easier to work with. When physicists discuss Planck time or length as some kind of limit, it's more because our equations aren't able to deal with those regimes rather than the universe itself having some kind of pixel size. Also, not all Planck units are tiny or huge. The Planck impedance is ~30 ohms, you could probably get a bag full of Planck resistors from Alibaba for like 12 cents.

Planks were just invented as a unit of measurement because science people were just cranky they couldn't use the imperial system of measurement with all it's cool whimsical sounding made up measurement names anymore! Science people like whimsy too you know.

Now that Star Trek Online made Lower Decks main cast lookalikes with their engine, I fully expect the series to do a throwaway joke about "they did a render of Cerritos for learning purposes and we do not look anything like ourselves on that".
