The only reason it works on Star Trek is because of the discovery of
controlled matter-antimatter reactions. In the early days it was
difficult and dangerous, but dilithium crystals found on other planets
made control of the reaction much easier. The transporter was
impossible without the crystals,

The transporter on Star Trek works because they were scheduled to start
shooting and the shuttle craft / set wasn't done so they had to come up with
something quick to get up and down to a planet.

I was joking. In a former life, I was a physics major.

A very old flight instructor, and good friend of mine, used to say:
"Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the Pig."
Not too long ago I saw a sig on one of these groups:"Teaching Pigs to sing
since 1976". I almost hurt myself laughing.

Are you sure, does it make a difference?

Another StarTrek NextGen error in logic. Worf breaks his
back, he wants to die because to be saved as a cripple would
be a dishonor. He dies on the operating table but his
REDUNDANT Klingon body heals itself. I may have gotten a
detail or two wrong.

BUT, since Klingons seek death and kill their wounded, how
would nature ever develop a redundant system?

Truth, at last. It is all make believe.

Humor is the reason I read the newspaper. Dilbert is the
only factual item in the paper on most days.

Of course I'm sure and of course it doesn't. But this thread that is so
completly OT (and I'm about to make it worse) that it has at least made us
forget about what started it. Not to mention it proves what complete geeks
we really are.

I would assume that the Klingons evolved all of there reduntant biological
systems before they created their honor code/religion and that the
code/religion was strongly related to their reduntant biologigal system. The
fact that it makes it so hard for them to die makes doing so, in battle, all
the more honorable.

I read that the concept was invented just to speed up the movement of
the plot in a one-hour program--otherwise a lot of time would
potentially be wasted with either shuttlecraft movements or take-offs
and landings of the entire Enterprise.
