  • I love it

  • great music

  • I'm quite literally blown away that the theme to TNG came from this.

    Keep in mind I'm not a trekkie.

  • Star Trek will live for ever...

  • I loved these films. The only one i didnt like was Final Frontier, that part with "God" was nonsensical and silly.

  • this song makes us enthusiastic for the future! there is a great galactic future coming soon, we will have the galaxies to enjoy

  • @Aldarionz9 - you do know how far we'd have to travel to get to the nearest large galaxy. I think we'll be hard-pressed just colonising the nearest solar system within 1000 years.

  • @March6371 I dunno, when I think of how quickly we went from inventing the light bulb to computers, and consider the fact that while not technologically possible yet we do have theories on faster than light travel methods, I feel like it might not take as long to reach the stars as some people would think.

  • @March6371 Even so, this entire franchise gives people hope for a future this amazing.

  • My dad blew his stereo speakers on this song.

  • I made an error:

    INSURRECTION: Bad

  • STAR TREK: OTS= Good STAR TREK TMP= Bad STAR TREK 2 The Wrath Of Khan= Good STAR TREK 3 The Search For Spock= Good STAR TREK 4= ok STAR TREK 5= ok STAR TREK 6 The Undiscovered Country= Good STAR TREK : TNG= Good GENERATIONS= Good FIRST CONTACT= Good INSURRECTION= Good STAR TREK; ENTERPRISE= Good STAR TREK NEMESIS= Good GALAXY QUEST= Good STAR TREK 2009= Good
  • @dude75able That is the most spammy and unnecessary comment I've read in a while, at least that didn't seem like it was intentional trolling..

  • @zeph0shade aw shut it you wanker

  • Great song - wonderfull

  • na, nanana, nananaaaa, NANANANA NA NA NANANANAAAAAAA

  • The second theme is so beautiful!

  • Please re-upload in higher quality if possible. When we listen to it we loose all the treble clarity.

  • cuuudoo!! NICE!!  ;-) !!

  • The best theme music of all time. STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURES theme .

  • what no pics?

  • For me, this is the theme to Star Trek.

  • @jimbopumbapigsticks indeed!!.....and verified 100% by it being used has The Next Generations theme has well ;)

  • @jimbopumbapigsticks Exactly, the theme in the 09 version was crap, This theme for me is Star Trek

  • Star tek will never get old

  • @TheMuddyMudcrab It would take another 200 years anyway

  • Favorite part is the transition just after about 2:20 :P

  • I love watching NASA launch videos to this song :)

  • so much fun to play on clarinet<3

  • Born in wrong time era.. Daaamn you!

  • The original series should have used this theme instead of that crap they eventually settled on.

  • Live long and Prosper.

  • Jerry Goldsmith was a God of music. He composed this that set the way for The Next Generation.

  • 12 people just watched "Shades of Gray".

  • Epic. Yay for TOS.

  • Qua'Pla!

  • Suddenly I'm six years sitting in a darkened movie theater... wow, this is great.

  • Before I argue with someone online, I take a few hours and think it over. I ask myself, "Is it worth it? Does anyone but me really care if I prove that this guy is wrong?" Besides, I don't want to clutter something as beautiful as this song with insults and oneupmanship. "Live long and prosper, people." _\\//

  • A little movie trivia for you...Robert Wise, the director of Star Trek the motion picture, also directed another science fiction classic, The Day The Earth Stood Still not to mention perhaps the greatest musical of all time, The Sound Of Music.

  • wait isn't this Star Trek The Next Generation?

  • @Hyroyan98 you're right & you're wrong, A variation of it was used for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" but this was used for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" first.

  • @Hyroyan98

    it was the theme of the 1st star trek movie before TNG.

  • love the running argument that these 2 guys are having. i think they should just fuck and get it over with. there is clearly some sexual tensions going on here.

  • The Human Journey is just begining.

    RIP

    Jerry.

  • this is the sound ov space

  • i get chils everytime it kick in !

  • Voyager as god for civilization of machines? That's pretty ridiculous.

  • The Human Adventure is Just Beginning.

    RIP Gene.

  • @jimbopumbapigsticks I doubt very much that he is resting after what Paramount did to his life’s work. The only one honoring Gene’s memory is James Cawly. His work on Phase II reflects what Gene intended Star Trek to be about. Political, moral, and controversial subjects presented in a way that is both fun and entertaining.

  • I love how the opening of this sounds like the beginning of a Rush album.

  • Comment removed

  • this and the DS9-main theme are the best

  • isn't this the same as the Next Generation Theme?

  • @AFinleyProductions

    it was written for the original motion picture. But its so great that it became the theme song for TNG :-)

  • @FallenDevilNO ok thanks i thought it was but was not sure

  • @FallenDevilNO I like to think of this particular theme as the definitive Star Trek theme :)

  • @SPeacock I agree with you wholeheartedly!!! The other Star Trek main themes are good but this one stands alone. Everytime that I hear it my heart skips a beat and shivers are sent down my spine! It makes me hope beyond hope that that we will actually achieve some, or all, of the wondrous future depicted for us by Star Trek! We need to get beyond our petty squabbles, become one people, and take our rightful place as "citizens of the galaxy". Thank you so much for posting this!

  • ugh this is a pain in the butt to learn on trumpet :-P

  • @Flairbrusher2010

    That too, but I push the motionless picture to the back of my mind in favour of the more preferable image. :)

  • @Flairbrusher2010 my mind is permenently scarred by that too. Seriously, there is a reason why people are not allowed to go to work in pj's!

  • Seems this piece was used to roll out the Space orbiter Enterprise at NASA back

    in 1977 ?

  • Okay This Is going to be roaring Full blast at my Funeral Cremation!!..

    One to beam up!!!hehe

  • Magnificent piece of music! Listen to it a 1000 times and it'd still be fantastic.

  • This song Is epic!!!!!!! Long live captain Kirk

  • but its a pwnage song

    <O+++<

  • 12 peeps got no soul now i guess

  • Still, old friend! I'm laughing at the superior intellect!

  • yeah, thanks for posting a blanck screen

  • 11 people have no soul.

  • @TheFallguy88 you mean 11 people are borg

  • This makes me picture Picard standing on the bridge of the Enterprise-D. Riker next to him with his arms folded, Troi on the other side being useless, Data at ops pushing buttons, Worf waiting to blow shit up, Geordi and Beverly standing around in the background... Those were the days.

  • @mushroomshrub This reminds me of William Shatner in Grey Pajamas.

  • Continuity from the original Star Trek Theme was lost, some would say thrown away.

  • I think the score had a big part in making Star Trek so epic.

  • thay used this for the intro to star trek the next gen i had to listen to both of them and figured it out

  • Just a great piece of music, even if your not a fan, and I am.

  • This is what plays while in my main screen of bridge commander.

  • Absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed.

  • @Richiepookinshoo

    You are absolute right, mate! Absolute right.

  • This song is awesome with the theater mode set to "powerful bass"

  • To boldly blow wind like no one has ever blown .... before! The brass section adventure is just beginning :D

  • Sovereign Class vessels are so much better than the Galaxy Class. For oen thing, the Sovereign Class vessels have more weapons. And more powerful weapons. And they just plain outright look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • There is one day everybody has had, that they were so depressed they sat though TMP. Then, with V. And then to redeem ourselves, we saw TWOK.

  • best 1 ive found..hats off 2 you!!!

  • acyiaööy the TNG theme is better, and it has elements fro m the TOS theme in it, nameley the beginning.

  • has anyone pondered that we are destined to be the ancient humanoids that find no intelligent life beyond our selves and will seed the galaxy and/or the universe?

    whoa i just blew my mind

  • @CrypticWatcher

    I think your about as far from being the first person to ponder that as you could be.

  • @CrypticWatcher Holy shit that is so fucking COOL!!!!! you have inspired me to write a work of science fiction that will become the new definition of the genre.

  • @CrypticWatcher

    I highly doubt that. There are lots of galaxies much older than ours. Hell even stars in our galaxy that lies in central core, are older than sun.

  • @SekretZdzichawhile we don't know for sure, but the early universe was a very hostile place to live, we might be the first simply because only recently(in cosmic terms) the conditions in the universe can facilitate the growth of life.

    also as we go farther into the galactic core, the density of very hot stellar object increase, radiation also increase. it also doesn't help that most of the older stars in the core have no planets

  • Jesus Christ, you damn nerds, you're fighting over Star Trek in a Youtube comment thread. Get a life.

  • @JasonThePure NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @JasonThePure Star Trek is more interesting than this thing you call "life".

    Seriously, though, the YouTube comment threads are basically used for nothing BUT fighting. Not really a surprise to me.

  • @JasonThePure overstature! Star Trek is life an life is a Star Trek!

  • The Next Generation is always going to be my favorite Star Trek series.

  • Star Trek TOS and Star Trek TNG are my favorite series' of all time. Too bad it's all gone, they should have made a new series instead of a movie, like a series based on the 25th century enterprise, or 27th century enterprise. On Star Trek ENT, we got a glimpse at the 27th century enterprise NCC-1701-J it would be great if we could get a better view, and maybe even get Data back, like Geordi having restored his memory in a new body! (for a new actor, me maybe? ;) )

  • @simpsonfan1995 Data is back, Geordi did revive him using B4 in the book "Countdown" which sets the timeline for Star Trek Online.

    so now we have the normal Canon universe continued in Star Trek Online during the 25:th century and an alternate universe by JJ. (which I have to say, isn't really all that bad.)

  • @EOCB. That is totally out of character for both Gordi and Data. Gordi would never sacrifice one life to save his friend and Data would rather have not existed if his return meant the death of his brother B4. The writers of the new movie are not fans and did not do their research.

  • @BondFreek actually B4 didn't really die, and all Gordie did was give him the emotion chip

  • @EOCB Then why was B4 called Captain Data? Old Spock discussed "Data's Resurrection" in the crappie comic strip tie-in to the crappie movie. It would be nice if the original footage, and every copy, of the new movie were destroyed and every record of its existence wiped from the history books. I would like that, but that would be censorship and wrong to do.

  • @BondFreek

    A: it wasn't half bad and it keeps Star Trek alive.

    B: who gives a shit if it was out of character?

    C: it's canon now, deal with it.

  • @EOCB A. It was not even half bad it was all bad. Watch the movie again this time remember to wear your anti memory wipe sun glasses.

    B. Character is what makes a movie great. You would not watch a Die Hard movie where John McCain was the Bank robbing murdering psychopath would you?

    C. It's canon now and TOS, TNG, Deep Space 9, Voyager, and the first ten movies are not canon anymore.

    I find it funny how people who LOVE Star Crap, Order others to "DEAL WITH IT". YAVOL MINE FURROR!

  • @BondFreek A: I did, it wasn't half bad.

    B: it was only SLIGHTLY out of character

    C: that's like saying that the mirror universe isn't canon anymore.

  • @EOCB Uhura telling Zoophilia jokes, and using sex and blackmail to get posted on the enterprise, Chekov 10 years older and a genus, McCoy not knowing medicine period, Spock getting seduced by his student without alien influences, Pike a wise generous leader, and Kirk has no imagination and has no memory for faces. Ya, only slightly different...NOT!!!!! C: The Mirror universe isn't cannon any more. The Mirror universe is based on the theory that for everything there is an opposite.

  • @EOCB The theory of an alternate universe is based on the fact that everything in our universe has an opposite Up/down, fast/slow, old/young Matter/Antimatter. So it stands to reason that if your good you must have an evil you in another universe. When you change the characters the evil versions also change. Therefore the mirror universe is no longer canon. No do you get it?

  • @BondFreek That's imposing theories about natural facts and physical laws onto non-natural questions of values and moral character. Highly illogical, but still makes for a fun plot device. :-)

  • @jimbopumbapigsticks "Highly illogical" In what way? If there is up there is a down, if there is a positive there is a negative, and if there is good there is bad/evil. So if there is another universe would it be the exact opposite? The truth is the idea of other universes was created by scientists who don't believe in God or heaven, so the idea that they still are living some were else when they die is comforting to them.

  • @BondFreek Put it this way: facts about the physical universe don't determine whether you'll be a good or a bad person.

  • @BondFreek So in another universe Dawkins is the most fundamentalist Christian?

  • @BondFreek would there be any determinist factor between the two universes? for example, what happens on earth in this universe effects what happens on the earth in the mirror universe? if so, what aspect of free will is involved or is free will an illusion in its entirety?

  • @metalgearanarchist. Free will still exists in the mirror universe theory. It’s just that the negative you will always chose the exact opposite that you would choose. However in the multi-universe theory there is no free will. It is sheer random events that your soul winds up on the path it is on now. Also the soul is just energy that is spread out among the universes. See the movie "The One" it explains it perfectly.

    PS. Get rid of the commie symbol, The USSR is dead dude.

  • @BondFreek ok. and for the record i am a communist, more specifically a Trotskyist.

  • @metalgearanarchist I would reevaluate that view point, if I were you. Communism oppresses the people's freedom for "its own good". I suggest you look at the history of Communism. The idea of socialism/Communism looks good on paper but the reality is everyone is different and that is a factor that it never takes into account. "Communism is evil in its most seductive form." Ronald Reagan. No other words are truer about Communism, just look at the history of the USSR.

  • @BondFreek see this is the problem i get. most americans dont understand the difference between Communism and Stalinism. i have read plenty of history to understand what happened. your just rehashing old arguments that the capitalists use to refute our claims. for the record the soviet union was not communist, communism implies a stateless and classless society which the USSR had both. second the never fully achieved socialism either, socialism requires democratic worker control of production.

  • @metalgearanarchist YOU ARE AN AMERICAN, one who hates freedom! "Communism implies a stateless and classless society which the USSR had both" Wrong again. In a communist society there is no private property, everything is owned by the government. I find arguing with people like you has no effect because you think just because it’s an “old argument” it has no truth to it”. Christ’s argument of peace through individual responsibility predates the written record but it is still relevant today.

  • @BondFreek correction im a citizen of the world and the supposed freedoms you exalt are illusions, they are not rights they are privileges the government can take away at anytime. when they refer to no private property they are referring to the means of production and the people become the state.

  • Comment removed

  • @metalgearanarchist, metalgearanarchist One final note: It is impossible to eliminate states and class. The USSR's goals were to eliminate everything that made people un-equal. As a result they accidently created two classes, the dictators and the oppressed. The only way to eliminate class and state is to eliminate who we are as individuals. That's like turning Stones into Bricks. It's possible but you must destroy the Stones first. PS Bricks are weaker than stones.

  • @BondFreek it is possible, you just dont see it. again your referencing Stalinism. i feel that we must respect both individuality and community together and it can be done. there are those who see the system for what it is and those who cling to it regardless.

  • @BondFreek The theory of alternate infinite universes are that each universe is separate, and that actions on one will have no effect on the other. A universe may branch off into more than one, but from then on the have no relation to each-other. They are also not polar universes, and the theory is 3 out of 4 parts snowball. Now do you get it?

    (Also, Matter/Antimatter has nothing to do with this)

  • @Bloodshot021 That is what makes the multi universe theory so ridicules. If they all branched out from a single universe than changing any part of that universe expands the universe to the point that it becomes imposable to ever go back to your universe. Alternate universe literally means the opposite universe; the negative to our positive. An alternate universe would be made up of anti-matter. This real theory is explained in the Star Trek episode "The Alternative Factor".

  • @BondFreek I think you misunderstand what 'antimatter' is, along with opposites. For all matter there must be an equal amount of antimatter created. Antimatter is simply matter wherein the electrons (positrons) have a positive charge, and protons a negative one. How this would interfere in the evolution of the universe, and of creatures, and of their resulting thought process, is inconceivable. I did misunderstand what theory you originally meant.

  • @Bloodshot021 Currently Antimatter only exists in the lab & only for 1/2 a second. If it existed elsewhere there wouldn’t be room for it in this universe, so it would have to be in an alternate universe, in which everything that was created with matter was duplicated with antimatter. Matter/antimatter is very volatile; when two identical ones are combined they cancel each other out; In other words, if you met your double from the negative universe & shook his hand...BOOM end of everything.

  • @BondFreek Antimatter and matter are perfectly stable alone. When the come together the negative protons are attracted to the positive protons, and vice-versa. However, your claim that there's 'no room for it in the universe' is ridiculous and without base. And 'BOOM end of everything' is also incorrect. There would be a BOOM, a very large BOOM, but it would not end the universe, or even be big enough to destroy a city. And again, 'anti-matter' does not dictate 'opposite personality'.

  • @Bloodshot021 Sorry but you are wrong. Modern scientists have not yet been able to stabilize artificial Anti-matter. If your brain suddenly worked backwards wouldn't your personality be the exact opposite of who you were? As for the "Boom" I'm referring to the alternate universe theory. As for Matter and antimatter in our universe is considered, you’re part right, the boom could equal a nova if the amount is at least the amount of a large building. (Space Seed and The Motion Picture).

  • @BondFreek And, furthermore, in a tree system, you are always in 'your own universe'. 'Your universe' goes back all the way from the unique state it's in now to the original universe where, at that time, there was only one. 'Your universe' may contain parts of 'other people's' universes that are the same, but you never leave your universe. I don't really believe in that theory, though, it does have some mathematical and scientific reasoning.

  • @Bloodshot021 The concept is confusing even to those who believe in it. The thought is that no one makes a decision at the same time. Chan in china made a decision but a nanosecond latter Sam makes a decision in America and so on... The biggest problem with the concept is that the larger the population, the bigger the chances are that 2 people will make a decision at the exact same nanosecond ripping apart reality. It is more likely that our choices are not creating multiple universes.

  • @EOCB Slightly out of character? That's proof you know jack... about Star Trek. I suggest you watch Star Trek Origins: Kirk available here on youtube. It shows the true history of Kirk in chronological order using clips from the show. As Kirk said in Star Trek V, Pain and guilt is what makes us who we are.

  • @EOCB A. It does not keep Star Trek alive. It turns it in to a something it's not; Mindless junk. You really think that people are going to be inspired to become Doctors, scientists, philologists and engineers from watching ST XI? You might get one or two idiots who will think that they can get a command of their own by acting like an arrogant retard, but other than that the influence of Star Trek on society will die thanks to STXI. B Character is everything. C I am by fighting it

  • @EOCB I thought there was only ONE emotion chip - which had been fused into Data's neural network since Generations?

  • It does not matter the whole new "Star Trek" is GARBAGE. Star Trek (XI) was made for people who don't have a lick of sense. Roger Ebert is a fan of the movie series and even he said that it lacked everything we expect out of a good Sci-Fi film.

  • @BondFreek I think First Contact was the only decent TNG film - Insurrection and Generations were OK, and Nemesis was just about passable.

  • @SPeacock Generations was horrible just because it gave Kirk such a bad send-off.

  • @ndalum75 I know. What was wrong with the end of Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country? The original crew went out with a bang in that one!

  • @ndalum75 I'm not a hardcore Trek fan, but the more I think about them in retrospect, all TNG movies except First Contact were pretty poor films. Poor story writing, as all the movies seem to depend on 75 consecutive coincidences to get from point A to point Z. Or just concepts that really push suspension of disbelief to its limits and beyond, namely the whole Nexus thing. Not enough space here to shred that concept.

  • @peterp21 Look at redlettermedia's reviews of them here on youtube. They extol in detail how much went wrong with the movies.

  • @SPeacock cmon nemesis was my favorite tng movie of course i like the original series movies better but hey dont hate on nemesis

  • @tatishit I'm not bashing Nemesis by any means - I think it's all right. It has a decent story, it just has a slightly flawed execution. It's still a good film, unlike Insurrection and Generations.

  • @SPeacock Tsk tsk tsk, your dissing other star trek films? Shame on you All of them had excellent music scores that were well thought out and executed.

  • @HunterR909 I'm not "dissing" them - I'm merely saying that some were better than others. They can't all be perfect, can they?

  • @SPeacock True, some are a bit much in streching the fiction in science fiction, like spock being ressurected, That God lives on a planet at the center of the milkyway galaxy, (sybok was a quack). But ya know, I got a kick out of, " The Voyage Home, " To me it was Action/Adventure, Comedy, and of coarse drama, all rolled up in a skin of Star Trek, I really enjoyed the film.

    As for the first movie, It was scary, creepy and yet very STAR TREK.

  • @SPeacock I thought that Generations and Insurrection had some nice touches, emotive return of Kirk, more emotion and romance for Picard.

    But First Contact was a cracking film. No Borg is worse than a rationalising, logical Borg. And Alice Krig was outstanding.

    Told them not to go - it kept the kids mesmerised for weeks. Thumbs, Salty

  • @simpsonfan1995 I forgot to mention that Data is the new captain for the Enterprise E after Picard became and ambassador.

  • @simpsonfan1995. I would rather have the real Data Back not a copy.

  • @BondFreek me too, but consider that it wouldn't be a copy, it would be like transfering his consciousness and knowledge onto a new body, so it wouldn't be a copy, it would be him in a new body.

    And yeah I'd rather he not have died, but the movie was already made, there's nothing we can do, so a copy is better then nothing.

  • @simpsonfan1995 Data is a machine, more accurately he is a program. When transferring a program from one computer to another the process is actually coping and erasing at the same time. It's not the same Program but a copy of the original. The reason coping and deleting at the same time is faster than just coping the computer is double checking to insure that the original is still in tacked. (I have brothers who are computer experts) One thing can be done. 5 words, Time Agency from the future.

  • @BondFreek I think you're missing the meaning of 'copy'. Especially in software, 'copy' is the -exact- same. If you look at this from a hardware perspective, and consider that the transfer done by data is actually replacing

    -running code- (Which is possible, esp. with interpreted languages ), then it would take time to load the new programming back into memory, and since there are factors we do not know, new code may start replacing the old code rather intermittently and randomly.

  • Comment removed

  • @Bloodshot021 I know what a copy is! You need to remember that Data was offered to be copied before in “Measure of a Man”. He rejected it, do you remember why? Also, he copied his memories into his daughter, remember how different she turned out before her brain malfunctioned? That's all Data did to B4, gave him his memories so that he might find his own soul with the help of Data's experiences. A copy is never exactly the same as the original.

  • @BondFreek Your first and last sentences contradict. "Especially in software, 'copy' is the -exact- same.", "I know what a copy is! " & "A copy is never exactly the same as the original." If the hardware architectures and etc. were compatible with Data's, he could well make an exact duplicate, programming wise. However it is unlikely that the hardware is the same (hence prototype). And Data didn't copy all of himself into his daughter, and rewrite what was there. That's key (0 chars remaining)

  • @Bloodshot021 I just checked out your page & noticed that you are 13. This tells me that you never used a fax machine. If you had than you would understand that whenever you make a copy of anything there is always something that is lost. In the digital media this is still true. Did you not notice that some people complain that a video game is to slow loading? While others say that that same game is fine loading but it freezes up? This is due to missing data from the original.

  • @BondFreek Furthermore, I will give you a stream of numbers. 1001101. 1. 0. 0. 1. 1. 0. 1. Write that down. Show the paper to somebody else. Tell them to write it down on a different piece of paper. 1. 0. 0. 1. 1. 0. 1. The number will be the same. The way it's written down might be different, but it's still the exact same number and means the exact same thing. The way it's interpreted, however, might be different. I already covered this when I said there might be differences due to hardware.

  • @BondFreek Data can become corrupt for a variety of reasons. It can happen during copying, or even when your computer is off; but as Bloodshot states, it normally does not. It certainly is not an accumulated degradation process under any normal circumstances (like your fax example -- not at all analogous). If you understood your brothers' complaints correctly, it seems they could learn something from this person who happens to be young. Netiquette lesson: everyone groans when you say 'expert.'

  • @entarctica "everyone groans when you say 'expert.'" Not everyone, only those who don't have a master’s degree in software engineering. I suggest you double check your facts yourself before praising this kid’s intelligence. It’s true that he understands the basics of computers, but like so many others, he & you don’t understand how software brakes down the more you make copies of copies of copies. According to your page you’re a centipede that Terra-forms planets as a hobby. You’re a loon!

  • @BondFreek And the exact 'picture' of the number sequence and how it's written does not matter as long as the number means the same. It seems everytime I argue with you on one point, you completely drop it and try to start a new one. If you still believe you are right on this point, by all means, keep arguing. But if you are arguing just for the sake of trying not to be wrong, please, stop. It's not helping you much.

  • @Bloodshot021

    From one young person to another, I'm afraid to inform you that you're not completely correct. It's a physical fact of life that whenever energy or information is transferred, something is lost. It all breaks down to quantum mechanics and the study of particles, but that's deep and convoluted stuff.

    Another example is Conductivity. When electricity runs through a wire, atoms get in the way and energy is lost. Data is a similar case but is not entirely the same.

  • @Igotopinions I did not say that data is never lost. If I did, I apologize. I'm saying data loss is extremely rare in the modern computing world. Of course, energy is lost. It's lost in heat, motion, etc. But not all of it is lost, and the signal gets from point A to point B, causing a microscopic switch to toggle. Quantum Mechanics is a theory (I never liked it) and the very principles on which it was proposed are now being debated.

  • @Igotopinions Data loss does happen, but as a general statement, it's okay to say it does not. When transferring several billion charges or lack thereof, making up several billion bits, in a local area, such as from one portion of a harddisk to another, the data is wholly intact on a normal* basis. Through the net it's much the same. Things like CRC are there to detect corruption or mal-transferred data, but it -is- rare.

    *Normal so as to be able to say it doesn't happen on normal, modern comps

  • @Bloodshot021

    That's correct. The other two commenters seem to have blown it out of proportion.

    The level of redundancy in today's information tends to cover most significant data loss anyway, file corruption aside.

  • @Bloodshot021 : There is few plot holes in Nemesis. First of all the Reman soldiers never got to be able to hit anything when they are supposed to the shock troops of the Romulan Empire. Second when the Remans were boarding the Enterprise, why did the Federation crew-members did not raise the light levels on the deck level of the Enterprise, to dazzle the Remans when the Remans had eyes sensitive to light level. Lastly why did nobody thought about the transporters on the shuttles

  • I like this theme and the show and movie series but I dont find it as entertaining, exciting and fun as star wars
