bkmk

Can’t even accelerate an electron to the speed of light. Its mass increases to infinity as the it’s speed approaches the speed of light.

Yup

Only in the movie version. In the tv series he was much more regimented and a solid, moral character.

Theoretically Warp 10 is like 100 times the speed of light.
______________________________________________________________

It would be a lot faster than that. Warp 9 is 1,516 times the speed of light.

Only if you have cold fusion to power it all.

There is no “warp drive”. It is now called “Spore drive” in Star Trek: Diversity er... Discovery aka as STD <—

They could not use 100% Star Trek features due to copyright so they created “Spore drive”....

_________________________

Explanation: this allows for instantaneous travel across interstellar and interdimensional space. It utilizes a network of mycelial spores produced by a space-dwelling organism called Prototaxites stellaviatori, which exists in subspace. The drive essentially allows a ship to “jump” to different locations by navigating this network, which spans across the galaxy and even into other dimensions

Foregone conclusion, cold fusion will be routine by then

Will it be available to the unwashed hoi poloi, or only the elite who can afford yet another streaming platform? NASCAR has pretty much written me off. I’ve enjoyed somas ARCA races, but the top two tiers can just KMA goodbye after this year, on top off stages, ridiculous playoffs, “Nextgen”car, and on, and on, and on…

Yeah that would really burst your bubble...............

Surely!

Is a woman driving?

I really miss the vintage Sci-Fi artwork.

Yes, it was truly ‘art’.....................
