[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain Untouchable: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: Supernova? Black holes?[/QUOTE]My god, you're right. I've totally never heard of those scientific concepts ever before in my life. They definately weren't covered AT ALL in my Astrophysics lectures. And Supernovas definately don't extend for lightyears and destroy everything in their path - including planets. That's just totally ridiculous, and scientifically inaccurate. ;) Supernovas do actually do that. Sure, the implied pace of the thing was a little squiffy, but that might just be the editing: the star could have gone supernova years before Spock tried to stop it. The idea of flying through a black hole and travelling through time is a genuine scientific theory - the idea is that a black hole might be the opening to a wormhole, the other end of which isn't necessarily at the same set of 4D coordinates. Stephen Hawking explains it pretty well in his book. And yeah, Red Matter is a cheat. So is Transwarp Beaming; hell, [i]beaming[/i] isn't real, or Warp for that matter. But its science fiction; and as sci-fi goes, it isn't all that big of one. There's a ton of stuff about the universe we don't actually know as yet. O'course its going to fill in the blanks. I don't think that's cause to paint the movie as scientific bullshit; its certainly no worse than anything else the Trek franchise has churned out. *shrug* I guess that's just how it looks from my particular perspective and background, though.
