[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Jonah your theory doesn't take into account that even Geordi said that the evidence clearly said that even in normal space this was trouble. What is the pollution? Well, pollution isn't a good word for it but it's what has been adopted. When you use a warp drive you essentially section off an area of the normal space-time continuum and transition it into a bubble of the subspace-time continuum. From the episode, this affect over time tears down the barrier between space and subspace. When the two intermix you get a violent phenomena like those present in the Corridor. I think that the good ole Excelsior Intrepid was still around at the time--- and would have been retired soon when the new ship would be launched [or maybe renamed]. And the Excelsior Intrepid could have been refit up to the put of the Galaxy Class era already... it had been at least twenty years since that technology had been on the drawing boards. You also have to remember that they were just comparing engine efficiencies, not speeds--- which is possible even between generational technologies if you put into the equation something about the differences between their maximum theoretical limits. As for the solution... I think that the Intrepid's variable geometry solved it for that class. And for the Sovereign it was those Off-Axis Field Balancers or somthing like that [I can't remember the exact name]. The technology in these two gave clues as to a retroactive solution for the other classes. I think that covers all the different topics--- [/QB][/QUOTE]
