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

Yeah, I see it mainly on clear nights in the sky. I don't know what other people are seeing.
The same reasons he doesn't have a pack of cigarette, a laser pistol and a blackberry.
Reminds me of space mead--the Liao drug

There an orgsan called a hune can produce a space time pattern called keim.
Now Fungus may have a stable element high on the periodic table that might allow..something. Drink with scalosian water--however that works.
For the same conjectural reasons that have already been discussed at some length in this and other threads.

Thats why I hated MASH. Whats the point, we know how the war ended!
I've been pondering something similar - a mutiny to ruin her career, another to save it?
Though loving that they've turned the spore drive into a moral confict so early on. Still don'd understand the science about it all - but looks like I'm not alone, and thankfully people smarter than we are do get it!
Science does not exist via the show's explanation. If anyone can find any peer reviewed journal article, please post a link.
You'd have go to the 23rd Century for that.
It's hard to keep track of all the space-faring organism, whatever dimension they are in.You'd have go to the 23rd Century for that.
But what it allows the series to explore could be interesting. Since the ship can go anywhere they can meet the Borg and Dominion in one episode.
I am really not liking this fungus spore tech. The monologue from "biologist/physicist" in the transporter 2 episodes back was really awful. Some of the WORST Treknobabble ever. I get that at some level biology is physics, but this was just plain bad:
Also hated that they put the tardigrade thing as the "pilot." Great, we have a giant bug high on blue magic fungus dust piloting Discovery!
Honestly, the things keeping me watching are Sonnequa's character (digging the "mutineer" stuff and the guilt she feels for actions that led to 8,000 accidental fatalities and the human trying to be less Vulcan thing---very complex) and the effects. The show's story writers are the worst. Hope this improves.
"At the quantum level, there is no difference between biology and physics. No difference at all. And you talk about spores. What are they? They are the progenitors of panspermia. They are the building blocks of energy across the universe. Physics and biology? No; physics as biology." http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Paul_Stamets

My only real complaint about it is that it seems obvious to me we're heading towards a predictable "reason why we stick to warp drive" season ending.
It got silly when someone..Burnham (?) talked about mushroom compatibility and.. give me strength. Then Stamets lying there after affecting a jump. I'm worried that next time Stamets looks in the mirror he's going to have a couple of toadstools sprouting from his ears.
I heard these Ensigns will be the tardigrade's "handlers" in Season 2. They will keep him fed, bathed, synced up with the nav system, and offer him a little bit of green as a "treat" when he manages not to gore/mutilate a crewmember for 24 hours

Stamets was spouting some nonsense technobabble to disguise how ridiculous and unscientific the concept is.
(Stamets and the shows writers have apparently never heard about Planck scale)
The reality is, that they might as well have the navigator do bong hits of sub space herb, and use that explanation for how the Discovery travels. They could call it the Bong-Drive.
