[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] No grammar nits. You didn't even spell it like the Frasier actor's last name, which is what most Grammar Cops do sooner or later (Orion's Law, I believe it's called). ;) It seems pretty certain, though, that the Vulcan warp drive was not invented by humans. Back in DS9 "Little Green Men", Quark gloated over the chance to see the secret of warp to the cultures of the past. He claimed that, thanks to the time-travel capability he had just gained, he could sell the tech to the past Ferengi so that they could have it "before the humans, the Klingons, even the Vulcans". While this does not specify a date for the invention of warp by these respective races, it does make it sound as if each of them got the drive at a different time. It may be that the Vulcans invented it first, then the Klingons stole it from them, and then Cochrane invented the human version. Or perhaps all of them really stole it from somebody else, save for Cochrane. Or it may be that we can't get such accurate information out of Quark's words at all. But we *can* claim that these four races (Ferengi, Klingon, human, Vulcan) got the warp drive at different times. That is, if we trust Quark. :D Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
