    There is one reason for not traveling above the speed of light. The reason is that when you send a ship into threehundredthousand kilomoters per sec or something like that. Whenever it hits something like a hair or anything that is floating through space there would be quite a large explotion. I wonder how they fix that in star trek.

    Never wondered what that big 'deflector array' thingy was for on the 'deflector dish'?

    It projects a deflector field (like a very weak electromagnetic forcefield) around the front of the ship that deflects spacedust and particulate matter away from the ship.

    1. Let me redefine my earlier post. It is impossible, in a literal sense, for MATTER to travel faster than the speed of light. Phew.

    2. I've watched one, count it, one Star Trek episode, and Star Trek uses a Jump System Thingy (tm).

    I've watched that movie where the Borg go back in time. That's about it. Oh, and the Star Trek: So Very Very Tired thing from the Simpsons.

    Star Trek: First Contact. Probably the best of the ST films. Good choice Jar.

    ??? Which series. The only 'jump system thingy' that springs to mind is the trans-warp subspace conduit network that the borg use (ie. wormholes). If by 'jump system thingy' you are referring to the warp drive then that is not how it works.

    Now, Babylon 5 used a jump gate system to travel to and from hyperspace. Star Wars also used a hyperdrive jump system. Not Star Trek.


    As for the matter passing lightspeed thing, you are not entirely correct. Electrons orbit atoms at close enough to the speed of light. As matter approaches the speed of light, the electrons can no longer accelerate forward because they cannot attain the energy neccessary to do so without degrading to energy themselves. Thus the only two possible outcomes are; 1) that the atom itself grinds to a halt and the matter becomes apparantly suspended in time or more likely, 2) the atom degrades into pure energy and disappates at the speed of light.

    In responce to the money problem, that's no excuse! This is the reason communism WONT work! It's because people are too stupid to do things for others without reward! Really! I mean, what value is there of money if we can just all take care of everyone, then, everyone gets the same! But no! People are too fucking lazy to fucking do things for people withough getting something in returne!

    and in respect to the light speed thing, in theory, you cannot, becuas if you send something into light speed, it supposedly is destroyed. On the other hand, somehow grabing onto something ALREADY traveling at light speed might in theory work....

    hmmm, odd comparison between me here, and Aust on ToA! lol

    Hey, I am kind of late to answering your question, "Is it possable to stop problems?" I for one think it is(but why would my opinion count is what you all are thinking). But here is why I think it is. Cause I believe it is possable, you know what causes most problems? Words! Words are what causes most problems, now how pathetic is that? Someone calls someone else a retard or something and that person gets mad and kills, here is nothing thing that causes problems. Love! Love is a big problem theses days, someone will not have sex with you and you get all mad and stuff and kill that person. And another problem is religion, that is a big problem over there in the middle east. Killing each other cause they believe in a different religion! Well people, that's pathetic, live is not about violence, there is a way to change all of this, there is a way to stop violence. You may not beable to stop natural deaths and stuff like floods and shit. But you can stop the human killing human stuff. First of all, get rid of drugs, yes I know people have already tried. But isn't there this thing that says "If you try hard enough you will suceed?" Well, this shows no one has ever tried hard enough to get rid of these drugs, which I think people should probaly start doing. Also get rid of the beer and other alchahol, that right there causes a lot of problem as well. Yes, society these days will never be perfect, but nothing is ever perfect, like there is no such thing as a perfect human, please, discribe perfect...


    I do not think I made very much sence but I tried to...

    Ok, you see, the thing is, no matter what you do, someone is going to fuck it up for everyone else, and once that one person screws things up, it causes a domino effect. It would seem that self destruction has been adopted as a natural human quality. Even banning things could have it's bad effects. The more you ban it, the more people will want to rebel. I say that we should give up this uphill battle and let the human race fuck everything up. And as for religion, it's a bad thing in general. It's completely commercial. I can only think of one religion that isn't the cause of a war, and that would be Buhdism.

    Land of sunshine and happiness

    For all of it's "problems," I truly belive that the world IS perfect. People are going to die, crimes will be committed, genocide, slavery, all the trials and tribulations of human existance constantly refine our universal consciousness, and whether you believe it or not we are advancing slowly but surely. The problems might be different, but there will always be difficulties of some sort. If you were never faced with a situation to overcome, you wouldn't learn anything new... ever. The only reason humanity has progressed as far as it has is because we were faced with problems, and exceptional people solved those problems, only to find new ones. And so continues the grand scheme, perfect in design, not to be understood by mere mortals. So go ahead and kill some people, or make some babies, or whatever you want. Everyone who struggles against fate will soon learn that no one is missed, and nothing you do really matters. It's a cheap world and you don't exist.
