Answer 1

WOW.......

Answer 2

I don't know, but just as a point of interest, I have heard on such places as the "Coast to Coast" radio program that "Star Trek" was presented as a means to help prepare humans for the fact that the universe is teeming with intelligent life. The situations were fictional, but the concept was there. Who knows? Even on "Star Trek" I think that they were pretty much confined to this Milky Way galaxy. What about the millions of other galaxies? There was sure to be plenty of action out there too. Consider the diversity of life on earth. As far as we are concerned, a lobster or a giraffe or a aardvark could look like an alien being if we were not used to seeing them around. There are those who firmly believe that "Star Trek" was a means of preparing us for extra-terrestial life. I have no idea if that's true.
Now take "King-Kong". That was an absolutely true story...

Answer 3

The possibility of warp speed is really questionable. But I always thought Data was a bit beyond the possibilities.

The script writers really need to get back to basics of human anatomy or even the anatomy of any of the higher animals. The level of complexity of life is too too much to expect something like the droid called Data.

Just get a medical book and consider things like how the body self repairs, self cleans, sweats so you self cool and expel toxins. How the retina of the eye receives and interprets light when it is a membrane of only several molecules thick. How the brain has more neuron connections that there are stars in the universe (which is also greater than all the sand grains in the world).

There are millions of other examples of the massive complexity of humans. But when Data gets a bit of skin off, he's got wires and circuits underneath. Jeez, that is laughable

No, for me, Data demeans human life. Not possible ever, unless we become God.

Answer 4

You asked a real question and deserve a true answer. No, Star Trek is not real. It was a TV show. Thus, it was not based on a true story, just someones speculation of the future. Check this site for NASA's academy: http://academy.nasa.gov/, it should tell you how to get in.

Answer 5

Sure, you can be a space cadet if you want, but a true Trekker would know that the headquarters of Star Fleet will be in San Francisco... you just have to wait another 3 centuries or so though. I bet if you put your application in a time capsule, Kirk will come flying round the sun back in time to pick you up so you can join. Just remember that computers are voice controlled in the future and transparent aluminum is an abundant commodity.

Answer 6

Fiction is it is way better than purely entertainment. the story lines are in keeping with actual themes that are set in a fictional background to place across ethical themes and (related to technology fiction) complicated medical theories in an exciting way. frequently circumstances the themes are very obtrusive, now and returned they are subtle. case in point tackling the themes of racism would be very perplexing for many genres yet set on an alien planet under alien suggestions administration hundreds of years sooner or later famous person-trek grew to become into waiting to air the 1st televised inter-racial kiss in the rustic. Likewise the warpcontinual grew to become right into a smart device for coaching with regard to the great distances between the stars and the concern in traveling previous the fee of sunshine, antimatter engines presented human beings to the concept-approximately skill to mass conversion E=mc2 and that each and every piece of count has an antimatter equivalent which will together annihilate in the main useful reactions standard to physicists on the time. technology fiction does not purely talk reducing side technology to the lay person regardless of the undeniable fact that, it additionally conjures up generations of recent scientists and engineers. it is not a accident that we've cellular telephones, this got here approximately by skill of folk desirous to have famous person trek form communicators. As for the story lines being stimulated by skill of real life activities, that doesn't ask your self me at each and every of the suited writing comes from writers who write what they understand.

Answer 9

Reading the other answers just confirms my suspicions - that the Trek realists and fictionists will never agree on anything.
