I know that the old communicators in the TV series are considered part of the inspiration for cell phones. What other scientific developments do you believe "Star Trek" did inspire or will eventually become real.

If you are on the opposite side of the World then you are either 12 hours ahead or 12 hours behind Tulsa.......Perhaps it means that you are both, therefore you are in Tulsa - but a full day behind in the past or a full day ahead in the future?

This is part of a formal science debate.

There are two pairs of people who've previously debated. Pair A won Pair B. There is solid evidence that that debate was Pair A's and B's first debate ever.

then in another debate, another person said, "Pair A is better than Pair B in debating, because Pair A won Pair B in 100% of their debates. There is only one debate to refer to, and I'm not using a generalization fallacy because there is only one example, to apply it to an entire situation. Similiar to saying Pair A won, Pair A is better."

The opposing team points out that it is still a generalization fallacy.

Is it?

This thing is essentially a series of images sliced into thin strips, then covered in a clear sawtooth-pattern plastic lens. When you rotate it, the picture either changes or animates. Small rectangular ones used to come in Cracker Jack boxes, and they're still used occasionally on product packaging.

Nearly every other major country in the world uses it as the primary system of measurements of distance, volume, temperature, energy, etc. It is comparatively simple to make conversions in the Metric System as the system was designed for making conversions.

While I am a conservative in nearly all issues, I align with many supposed liberals who favor adoption of the Metric System, both to better align ourselves with the rest of the civilized world and to improve our measurement system.

It will greatly simplify life for school children when they have only to learn that a kilometer is 1000 meters instead of learning that a mile is 5280 feet.

So why don't we do it?
