Like I said, a lot of this stuff is conjecture. It’s way over my head, and I’m just kicking around ideas because I think 99 percent of the people are like me on this topic - clueless! Anyway, the motion of spiral galaxies doesn’t concern me, because I feel the experts are just guessing. They only recently discovered that black holes lie in the center of galaxies and account for much of the weird stuff going on. We probably know as much about the universe as people knew about the Earth six hundred years ago, wondering what kept the ocean water in place on a flat Earth. Anyway, hoping someone makes a warp drive a reality so we can get off this crazy planet and figure out what the truth is out there. Cheers!
Anybody remember the Night Gallery (I think) Episode with William Windom playing a Government Scientist who came up with the Theory of Non-Radioactive Fission (or something like that)?
He lost his young Daughter and the Government was concerned with his Mental State, until...
wee jumpers i liked that movie
One thing that was mentioned in Star Trek only once or twice was that the main computer was encased in a warp bubble for FTL computing.
Among other things, it’s what allowed the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to be compensated for to allow transporters to rematerialize matter on a quantum level.

Yeah, but it’s not just that they are “guessing”. They have these theories that are quite nice for many things, but just run into a brick wall in certain situations. They don’t want to have to toss out a theory that works perfectly well most of the time, so they are just “patching it up” instead of trying to figure out exactly why it isn’t working.
The scientists doing that, the ones who talk about “dark matter” as if it is a real thing, are not going to be the ones who make the next big breakthrough. It will come from those who start asking “why isn’t the theory working right?” and figuring out where that question leads them.
Interesting, I hadn’t even considered FTL computing. I don’t think their explanation really makes much sense, but imagine a warp “fiber optic” type of cable, with a very low energy field speeding packets of data along for nearly instantaneous communication. That would be pretty crazy!
And a hook-up to the clock tower?
I searched YouTube, and Pares is in a few videos.
