You're fucking kidding me right? Please tell me those idiots didn't just destroy EVERYTHING that is Trek by turning the ffing warp engines in a jet engine. You know, I SAID over and over again, how Abrams ridiculous bullshit talking seems he has NO idea about physics and reality whatsoever, and now it's true.
Actually I think they have a far far better grasp on reality (and physics) than you. In reality, in which I am sitting, in which this FICTIONAL STORY TAKES PLACE ON A SCREEN we actually have no idea how to travel faster than light... Plenty of hare-brained ideas but no concrete methods or ways to prove or disprove them.
Do these complete morons not understand a little thing called relativity? That little problem with NOT BEING ABLE to go FASTER THAN THE SPEED of LIGHT, by simply pushing on something.
This is where the FICTION part of science fiction comes in. For 40 years or so we've used SUBSPACE as a method of getting around relativity. Perhaps the new movie will, maybe it will come up with a different method, maybe it doesn't matter how the ship works after all but maybe the STORY itself is more important?
And to think, the warp drive theory is a fully functional scientific theory for the past 13 FFING years.
Really? Fully functional? Can you provide proofs? Verified by major established scientific centers? Verified by peer review? I'm almost certain this is a vapor on your part sir, because if there was a valid theory that could be tested/replicated at will in a lab setting, one that throws Relativity to the wind... we would have heard about it. Funding would be POURING IN. Sadly a quick check of Google shows this to be untrue.
Congratulations, Star Trek is reduced to Star Wars; a meaningless pile of shit with nothing that comes even close to any attempt at scientific reality.
For a meaningless pile of shit Star Wars sure has a huge fanbase, far more presence in the media, and a much much bigger revenue stream than Trek does at the moment. Remember: Any single Star Wars movie has out-grossed any single Trek movie because they put the babble and canon on the back-seat and do whatever it takes to bring the casual AND die-hard fans in.
I haven't seen a single fan design with pipes sticking out of the nacelles.
I do believe that the beloved TOS Enterprise has some details sticking out that could be "shot off." And as much as I hate to say it, the fan designs do not count when it comes to Studio Produced Official Product. Our designs just don't matter, can't matter and never will matter to the people in the offices. Bringing in "fan design" and "fan-canon" and "accepted fact" it's just meaningless in the face of what the studio decides to put out.
Most people also still love those "ruler" pylons. Which look so fragile and frail.
Those pylons don't need to be super strong. There are no stresses placed upon them.
Here you go assuming that warp drive works in reality. Reality man. It does not. In fact we HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE ENGINES WORK, just some clever doubletalk based on science and engineering. How the hell do you run fusion reactors without massive cooling sinks and heat radiatiors? I'm sorry but there is no basis on which to base your assumption that the design of the nacelle struts... nothing that matters anyway. It's pure visual design, not based on a real physical process or understanding of one.
Finally once again there are particles in space. You still have to move through those efficently with the least use of power.
No, you don't. For that you have a deflector dish, which bends particles and small pieces of debris around the ship. Which incidentally also has nothing to do with any pylon or warp nacelle.
In "reality" it would take far more power to sense, react to, and deflect particles at FTL speed than it would to attract them and consume them. At least that's my understanding of physics Again though none of the stuff mentioned above is REAL. It's all PRETEND. Based on MAKE BELIVE PHYSICS. And it doesn't matter when it's all said and done.
You folks that bring the hate and scream blasphemy and heresy and canon violation are worse than any religious zealots I know. Being active in church I'm exposed to extremists within my sect, and they have NOTHING on you guys.
My advice: GET A LIFE, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW, ITS JUST A MOVIE.
