[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] 1) No. Timo said it best. Nanoprobes are just too complex to replicate. Even the Doctor took a lot of time to replicate nanoprobes to combat Species 8472. 2) Possibly. I'm not sure. 3) Actually, that problem still exists, even after the Bynars made modifications. Data threw a communicator at the wall in "Ship in a Bottle" when he realized he, Picard, and Barclay were trapped in Moriarty's Holodeck. How it works is simple: The Holodeck has some sort of Treadmill effect which keeps the user or users firmly planted in the centre of the Holodeck. This treadmill effect does not apply to objects that are thrown to a distance. So when Riker picks up a rock and throws it, he's trying to throw BEYOND the wall. No treadmill effect here, and the rock bounces off the wall. 4) I have some comments on Timo's answer. If B'Elanna can simulate Skydiving, then it is very possible for her to hit the ground hard if the chute isn't deployed. This shows that the Holodeck can simulate gravity. How this works is that the Holodeck keeps her in place while the ground rushes up to her. When she approaches the ground, the holodeck "flings" her to the ground with such force as to jumping off a cliff. Ouch. I'd like to remind you that it you tried throwing a rock down a cliff, it may not work as it is like throwing a rock towards a wall. 5) Unless the Holodeck can replicate antimatter, then well, the ship would be toast. So therefore, I really don't think it is possible. A large 6) The treadmill effect can apply to almost everyone in the Holodeck. And yes, they probably use some sort of program like a lens to appear that they are very far away when they are not. As for the Baseball bat thing, I surmise that the end of the bat dematerializes to prevent hitting anyone. It's not supposed to hit anyone anyway. But if you are actually hitting someone with a bat and the safeties are off, then it WILL hurt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
