7 of 9 and T'pol Spock and Tuvok

The Star Trek shows that advanced civilizations move beyond the silly greediness of current culture. Jean Luc scolds the man form the 20th century for wanting material things. He goes on to tell the primitive man for the 20th century that theye solved poverty and "want" (the accumulation of...

In a truly technologically advanced society everything is available to all for little money. If such a thing does not happen then there is no technological progress. In 1983 the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X cell phone was 4k and as heavy as a brick. The battery only lasted a 1/2 hr. Nowadays...

Dude, it is a figure of speech!

You can learn how to memorize and get much better in academics, but I believe that ultimately nothing can make a person smarter once you reach your ceiling. Some people are simply smarter than others. The important thing is to max your abilities and even overachieve. in the end it is...

Seven of Nine remind me of Dexter's Laboratory. She is the most smart crew member, but at the same time has a precious innocence. She is awesome!

Yeah, all the stories written around her are great. And she really does a great job. I am assuming she will pick a mate soon. I know in one episode she asked Kim if he wanted to copulate. Tuvok is good too. In one of the holodecks type episodes Leonardo Da Vinci asked Tuvok where he was...

The writing in most of the episodes of Voyager or even TNG can be quite goofy. Sometimes I fast forward. However, every once in a while they come up with a gem. I enjoy the characters of Voyager much more than the TNG crew. I always loved Data--------- and the holodeck doc and 7 of 9 do a...

Have not seen DS9. Some of the stories in Voyager are a bit goofy, but the ones in between are OK. Perhaps i simply like the Voyager actors and characters more than TNG. I am still on season 5 in Netflix. MAy do DS9 after I am done with this one.

Thanks. As for size: I doubt a cricket could leap real high if it was the size of an elephant.

What Jean Luc Pickard said to the 20th century stock broker that found himself in the 24th century.

See the poster above. He seems to explain it a bit better.

Thank you. I think i can sleep better now.

Thank you for explaining this better than I did. Obviously if we were real small we could say we are only a few atoms long, but we would not know if we are big or small. The size of the universe is large in relationship to us, but I wonder if our universe is real tiny in the greater...

If all humans were between 5-6 inches tall we would not know we are small. If all humans were between 50-60 feet tall we would not know we are tall. Size is relative. We need a point of reference. How big is the universe? Could it be real small?
