If i create a non combustible self-sustaining energy source that generates zero radiation, what kind of propulsion system could be designed? Is someone out there with that type of propulsion system already?

Actress Nichelle Nichols, best known for her groundbreaking portrayal of Lt. Nyota Uhura in “Star Trek: The Original Series,” has died at age 89, of natural causes. Besides being on the first Star Trek show, she was also central to some important racial firsts on US TV: The Rev. Martin...

I just watched this episode of Star Trek the Next Generation; The Inner Light. One of my favorites. edit: I just found this from a google search

I'm watching what I think is the best episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Darmok: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmok

I'm watching the Next Generation episode Relics and Riker has just ordered the helm to "go into orbit above that point" which I took to mean geosynchronous orbit. No biggie except that the point is on the outer surface of a Dyson Sphere with a RADIUS of more than 1AU. So, assuming the sphere has...

Hi everyone! I had the opportunity to see the series premiere of Star Trek: Picard and really liked it. As a long-time fan of TNG it was a great episode re-introducing us to Picard, and can't wait until the next episode is available. I was wondering how many of you here on PF has seen it.

Will teleportation, like in Star Trek or many sci-fi movies, where people disappear with a puff of smoke, ever be possible in the real world. Will we ever be able to build something that can do this, and what would it be like?

Instead of Matter being destroyed and re-created; what about transporting through a Warp Bubble? I will dumb it down for others that wish to learn...Bubble Theory: Can you transport via a Warp Bubble as opposed to a Destroy and Recreate Premise?

In tech news, ThyssenKrupp has invented the turbolift. I'm excited to see it implemented. Hopefully it won't take too long to catch on. Unfortunately, I'm not often in buildings tall enough to benefit from this technology.

What is your favorite Star Trek series and why. Who was your favorite character? I go with Next Generation because it's what I grew up on however Spock as best character.

On September 8, 1966 the first episode of the original Star Trek series was broadcast. I saw it when I was in junior high school (middle school). Tonight I'll pull out my DVD set and watch it again. It's been several years since I last did it. Maybe I'll make it a regular Thursday thing and do...

Used in star trek as the cores for computers the gel bags are living cells, so is this a start for them to become a reality? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160721151225.htm

We all know that starships in Star Trek have artificial gravity. They also have inertial damper. Therefore, we can conclude that they have the ability to counteract gravity. However, as those technical manuals of Star Trek tell us, starships are using impulse drives for slower-than-light...

What happened to the Holodecks in the lastest Star Trek installments? A million years from now.. would it be possible to build Holodecks? Is it connected with whether realism is true or violated (such as in entanglement)? Because if realism or particles existing before measurements didn't...

My wife and I drove up to Seattle recently to see this exhibit at the EMP celebrating 50 years of Star Trek. Here are some pictures of some of what they had on display. Kirk and McCoy's uniforms, Original captain's chair, and helm/navigation console from bridge.Uniform and props from Deep Space...

Hello, a long-awaited fan film has been released on Friday. I'd say it's pretty good.

Scheduled for release on July 22, 2016.

Haha :smile:

New TV(?) series premiering Jan 2017. [ref]

I recently found a SF treatment I wrote years ago, based on the original Star Trek series and showed it to various friends as an idea for a new book. What was amazing was the near universal reaction as to how they all hated the wishy-washy New-Agey (common usage) new version with its strange...

FWIW

All Hail Spock! Live long and prosper! http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2015/02/27/leonard-nimoy-obit/24120819/

Interesting Hist Channel show on Star Trek and Physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNiDoT7blX8 Of particular interest is the number of scientists who were influenced by Star Trek in their youth.

This actually works! If you're tired of being disappointed by the gawd-awful movies that have come out recently, there is hope... http://www.startrekcontinues.com/ It takes a bit to adjust to the characters. A bit like jumping in a slightly cold swimming pool before getting used to it...

So My wife and I just got around to watching this last night and it was decent enough if you put your disbelief in cyrostasis but hey that's Strek Trek in general. That being said, and knowing there is no semblance of reality to the science, Of all the scenes that would have bothered me, it was...

Ok so just for the sake of talking and I'm bored, can someone type the Star Trek list from oldest/top to new/bottom? I'm just obsessed with Star Trek. Anyone else? :D

Hi. I was wondering about this. In the "Star Trek" movie of 2009, the destruction of the planet Vulcan is shown, by a black hole being formed in its core. I'm curious: supposing you had some means to create, or collapse part of the planet to form, a black hole in its core, what would, according...

IMHO, the best stories, Watched all of the Capt Jean Luc Picard and sometimes fell asleep. Never a dull moment with Capt Janeway. And they have 7 of 9 who has a great figure. Love her acting! Better physician on board. Tuvok as good as Spock. Chapters are almost always related.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAEkuVgt6Aw I saw this trailer on ultra screen in 3d and I was captivated. No doubt a very well made trailer, but still I'm pretty stoked for the movie! Even if it just reaches the success of the first, it's been a nice series reboot.

Would you pay for this?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1946421/ I almost had to force myself to watch this, but out of curiosity I did and was quite surprised. It drags at times but was often interesting. What I found to be most interesting was the central theme of the huge personal toll these rolls took on their...

I read the book Physics of The Impossible by Michio Kaku. It was there I first heard of plasma windows and I was like "hey that's like Halo and Mass Effect". The problem with plasma windows is that too much energy is needed to make it and that it would vapor your spaceship or soldier if you used...

Hey all, I was watching a talk by Layrence Krauss on what might be possible from all the science fiction in star trek. One thing that he mentioned was that everyone comitted suicide in the show everytime they said engage! because of the massive G forces due to acceleration. The writers got...

has anyone ever read it? I'm reading it now, and sometimes I don't understand some of it (I'm in 8th grade), but it keeps me on my toes. Anyone else ever read it, and if so what do you think of it?

Think of a Star Trek dream team. Here's one that I made hastily. KIRK: Arnold Schwarzenegger SPOCK: Steven Seagal MCCOY: Peter Falk SCOTTY: Jim Carrey SULU: Bruce Lee CHEKOV: Brother Theodore UHURA: Whoppi Goldberg Wait! Whoppi was on the new ST. Jim Carrey would be funny being...

Just saw Star Trek like an hour ago with my friend and it was great! :biggrin: I've never actually seen the show but I think I can make time. How did you guys like it?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/ Double-click to watch the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w4vk5OZmn8 Expectations? It looks like they use my idea of a reentry suit.

Why is there so much of Star Trek on the " manly " Spike channel?

One of my all time favorite episodes of TNG will be on the sci-fi channel tonight at 7PM CST. Picard is knocked unconscious by a probe and lives another man's life on a long dead planet. This is the show where he learns to play the recorder.

sorry about the fantasy factor here guys, but having a kind of barrier that can repel mass and be "mass less" without having any visible infrastructure would be quite valuable. so the question is: What are force fields? (like the ones in star trek) what would they compose of? and what keeps...

Recall in Star Trek the next generation and of the new series, they use replicators and holodecks. Many science degrees work hard in all fields of knowledge. In the future technology will mature and that kind of science may be real. How do you think society will react this scientific...

Looks way more fun than what I've been doing... http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/now-for-star-treks-enterprising-thesis/2006/08/27/1156617211732.html

Wow, From current experiments and theory; the idea of a cloaking device may be a reality. This leads me to the question; is there research in other areas of the so called "Star trek Physics" i.e. force fields etc?

I was flipping through the channels this evening and came across an old Star Trek (original series) episode. Since I hadn't seen one in while (It is shown at 10pm, and lately I've had to get up early Sun AM, and I am in bed by then), I decided to watch it. I had just recently purchased a...

Homework Statement In a star Trek episode, a space station orbiting a planet blows up. The chew of the Enterprise simultaneously hears and see the explosion; they realized that tehre is no chance for rescue. If you have been hired a consultant, what two physics errors would you have found and...

so much for trek being dead for a long long time... and staring matt daemon as Kirk! http://imdb.com/title/tt0796366/ http://movies.ign.com/articles/767/767783p1.html

What an incredible story: An unpopular and short lived series refuses to die, and now, along with its offspring, Trek spans forty years that have inspired countless young minds. http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/ [The History Channel is currently running a two-hour documentary...

OK, so probably only me and Ivan will laugh at this but what the hey.. man, that Saurian brandy will mess you up!
