I'm the lone Trekkie in a house full of Star Wars fans, but the science isn't really the thing we argue about. Because while Trek had some interesting technological ideas for the 60s, its relationship to things like physics was ... questionable at best. That was never really the point? It's TV Space Opera, accurate science isn't the point here.

Trek was ground-breaking in terms of sociology and storytelling, in putting this particular collection of characters in the same space and then sending them on these kind of adventures. Most of its most daring statements were social rather than technological in nature. I'm fairly sure whatever tech or alien biology or interesting space wedgie they needed to drive their plots, they pretty much just made up on the fly, and it was awesome that way.

This is a show with giant amoebas from outer space, aliens with copper-based blood that apparently mate just fine with humans, a character whose sole purpose is apparently to break the laws of physics at least once an episode, and the less said about Spock's Brain the better.

It is also one of my favourite shows of all time and I'll fight anyone who says different.

and somewhere there is a list of all the technology that TOS either inadvertently predicted, or downright inspired.

ETA: Plus, one word can shut up some SWars fans, and that word begins with "M"

MmmmmAnakin?

[silverr]

Heeheee, actually I was thinking more Midi-chlorians, but was too lazy to look up the proper spelling.

[lunabee34]

Yep.

I mean reversing the polarity of the shield array is never going to pass scientific muster, but they predicted/inspired a great deal of real world tech. It's pretty cool.

Okay, so reversing the polarity of the shield array won't work - but WHAT IF WE REALIGNED THE TACHYON EMITTER??? I think that might work! And don't forget to adjust the inertial dampers. :)

"inertial dampers"

You put big weights in your ship?

[(Anonymous)]

It's the gravity thingamajig - keeps everyone from becoming wall paste - but "inertial dampers" sounds cooler.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

More like it's a thing that keeps everyone on the Command Deck* from being thrown at the viewscreen at warp speed when the ship suddenly stops.

(*And everyone else on the ship getting thrown at whichever random wall is closer to the front.)

Inertia is the name for the idea that things that are moving are inclined to keep moving.

[lunabee34]

Possibly.

Let's run everything backwards through the transporter just to be sure. Or slingshot around the sun!
