“’Negative Polarization’. What Does That Mean?”
It means Cmdr. Scott can’t keep the Enterprise from blowing up.

> Generally comets fit into one of two categories (high polarization comets and low polarization comets) though there are a few oddballs out there, like Hale-Bopp, which are outliers for their unusually high polarization.
Hale-Bopp. I knew it. The Heaven’s Gate cultists are coming back for the rest of their luggage.

“Light is a wave consisting of a coupled oscillating electric and magnetic fields which are orthogonal to each other in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (in vacuum),”
Come on...who didn’t know that?

...after potentially being hit by a coronal mass ejection, it has now vanished from our view... That doesn't sound good.
The CME would certainly have imparted a huge amount of additional energy to the comet's body. It might have changed its aspect if it blew off some of the surface material.
But most troubling.... the CME turned it into an InterStellar Monster, AND IT'S HUNGRY!!

"Light is a wave consisting of a coupled oscillating electric and magnetic fields which are orthogonal to each other in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (in vacuum),"Now that right there is one heck of a sentence.

Doesn’t it depend on whether someone is observing it? I am confused about that, and I’m not the only one.

Shouldn't we be sending some kind of universal greeting to let them know we're friendly?
