I tried to have them included when I was in grad school.......they would not allow it. Small minded faculty members.Heck, nothing says rigorous scientific accuracy like green Orion dancing girls . . . .
Spoilers A list of bad scientific errors in Discovery
- Thread starter ISS_Einstein
- Start date
This whole thread is scientifically accurate. If only it had the wisdom of André Bormanis, because he did wonders for ENTERPRISE's ratings...
Well that's less implies the writers where actually taking shrooms when coming up with ideas
I mean I can I can just picture the writing team.
Writer A: right I am out of ideas, let's take shrooms.
Writer B: good idea.
2 hours later.
Writer A: Dude......what lif ike, the ship could like travel on mushrooms.
Writer B: that is awesome man and like it is some magical glowing network.
Writer A: awsome.
This series I would not be surprised if they have a weapon that fires a magic weed that makes there enemy's just chill.
And if the writers go on to LSD we get a program of just colourfull swirls and music.....o wait that's The motion picture
I'm not seeing the difference between magic FTL mushrooms and magic FTL crystals.
If by help you mean lowering the lights and playing some Barry White.
More like they read some books and articles by the real Paul Stamets and in the tradition of Science Fiction from time immemorial, took the ideas to 11.Well that's less implies the writers where actually taking shrooms when coming up with ideas

C'mon guys. In the OP's defense, the instantaneous communication across hundreds of light years is completely based on real science -- because: subspace.
You know, subspace. It's that magical place/thing that allows almost anything Star Trek can imagine. Everyone knows you can use subspace to communicate at FTL speeds, plus there are whole realms of subspace that are the home to a bunch of TNG beings.
Obviously.

They tried fixing the boat by using Gilligan's home-made pancake syrup as glue. However, that syrup held only temporarily before resulting in the entire boat coming apart -- after which there was no longer a boat to fix.
(season1, episode 8; "Goodbye, Island").

I hear looking at a Medusan without a visor can lead to a very Bad Trip . ...

Just wait until a transporter mishap turns Pike, Burnham, and Tilly into pre-adolescent children.
Come on. They would be adorable!
I can just see little tyke Pike jumping on the bed.
A more adorable Tilly just is not possible.
Or splits them into their good and evil halves.
A more adorable Tilly just is not possible.
Or they become Purnilly
OK, I know when to admit defeat.
Beaming from pad to pad is likely possible, provided you have an advanced enough computer which can store the precise positioning of every atom, and can have a transmission with enough bandwith.
Beaming away from a pad is impossible though (where would you get the matter from)? And transporter-phobics are right - it does kill you and build a new person every time you use it.
If only Naren Shankar knew as much about biology as he knew about physics.
Uncertainty principle kind of scuppers even that - the machine would need to know position and energy of each atom, which it can't do.
Are you kidding??? How are space mushrooms more scientific than space rocks? Pleeeease.
To get (quasi) serious here, it seems to me that there are two basic issues here which we run the risk of conflating:
1) Is DISCO substantially less "scientific" than previous Treks? Clearly not.
2) Should DISCO be more rigorously scientific than previous Treks?
The latter is perhaps a more interesting question . ...
