[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] Oh dear, I know this is getting old, but I've been gone a while and felt the need to post a reply to this. PsyLiam, Einstein's theory of relativity is based on what you just threw out the window. Relative observations made by observers in positions relative to each other. So, are you saying that you would rather completely ignore the accepted laws of physics and relativity? If the ship *was* going faster than light, than time dilation and apparent increase in mass would occur as in any object exceeding 300,000 kps. Therefore we must conclude that the vessel itself is in fact not breaking that barrier. If you can explain your way around this minor fact, please feel free to do so. The explanation of warp drive given in the TNG:TM *fits* even if it doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the surface. To toss it aside rather than try to explain it is more ignorant than anal. I much prefer to be anal. Meanwhile, I will diligently research Galilean and Einsteinien principles of relativity to see if I can explain this in a more reasonable context and with more detail or, in fact, prove myself wrong. Everyone please feel free to comment. P.S. The explanation of hull stress cutting a vessel's potential lifespan seems much more reasonable than some of the explanations I've heard. The simple fact that Scott pulled the chips out of the computer couldn't possibly be the reason why they halted the project. [/QB][/QUOTE]
