The Spore Drive Technology. What Do You Think About It?

I can empathise with that poor professor's frustration over this inanity, but it is pretty obvious that most people don't care.

What a ridiculous article.
This "I'm the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University."
says; "im willing to accept warpdrive for the sake of a good story"
(which implies that he also have no problem with Replicators and Transporter technology)..
but he must put his foot down on the spore-drive because NOW the writers got it all wrong??
This is just another dude who only want to slam the DISCO.
I guess your just another dude, who is so enamored by a new star trek that you'll put up with/accept anything that's labeled ST.
I just wish that all the viewers were required to rate the episodes via CBS all access. Then we could get real meaningfull percentages instead of the biased polls.
So says this so-called “Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University”. Meh. Bunch of fancy words strung together. What does he know? I bet he’s on the global warming conspiracy theory as well. FAKE science!

yes, yes i accept this new Star Trek!!
I want to see the Discovery fly so close to a planet's surface and then do a spore jump, that it throws of gravity and causes the planet to explode.
Maybe Kronos? That would take care of those pesky Klingons.
The spore drive seems about as plausible as how the spice allows people to fold space in Dune. And I love Dune so I don't have an issue with the spores.
Wstp drive has a basis in general relativity. The spore drive still sounds like technobabble.
Did it? Has anyone connected with creating the show ever said this?
The Spore Drive? Why would it? It's a new addition to the canon.
It's rather foolish argument to make anyway.
Neither was the Genesis Device, protomatter, Omega molecules, various forms of time travel, including slingshot, giant gateways, etc. Robots and androids who apparently cease to exist after their discovery. A cure for evolving human condition.
Except that Warp Drive is a theoretically sound concept, as per theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre.

That may be so, but a transporter is a crazy concept that this Distinguished Professor dont seem to mind. So my point is that he is just a guy who are pissed of about Disco not being in "canon" or whatever.
That itself are totaly fine, but he is not saying that... He is saying that:
"the writers have stumbled into a scientific error"
And "I can't accept obviously bogus claims"
So he is also delusional and think that the writers believe that the sporedrive actually should work... In real life.
