@TheSolitaryTraveller A black hole requires huge amounts of matter condensing into a small area, ex.if the earth was condensed into a inch in volume, in theory it would produce a black hole.
@cheatdath: I don't give a fuck whether you're from Ghana or Botswana. You're the racist here, idiot. You hate your own kind so much you'd commit genocide if you were ordered to. You calling other black people 'nigger' is stupid beyond belief.
the only reason I'd think why aliens aren't contacting us is ... they're fucked up. They're so fucked up and in a mess that they don't want any more trouble. The same reason why we don't contact the uncontacted tribes in amazon.
Voyager's the best Star Trek show, imo. And it has by far the best premise. I love how they assimilated the technology from other civilizations in the Delta quadrant, including the Borg, making themselves the most technologically advanced ship in Starfleet. They did it out of necessity, in order to survive while 70,000 light years away from home.
And then he's says theyre unstable ? How would he know ? We dont even know what our own galaxy looks like .. Contrary to what you've seen or heard from other people no spacecraft has left our galaxy before therefore we've never seen what it really is out there or color or whatever . Some galaxies are just all these kinds of different colors so who knows .
@ryanscottweise are you fucking stupid? we have made very accurate computer models of our galaxy, even though we havent left the solar system, and still, wormholes are prooven to be possible, do you actually know anything about quantum physics?
we've never even seen a wormhole so how can someone say that its scientifically possible. Its like scientists have taken the work of fiction and said: Ohhh okay so Klingons or a Death Star or scientifically real . I didnt hear him say possible but real. Sighssss I'm not saying its not possible and maybe someday we will find wormholes but to say now that theyre possible or even real is just not a good thing for a scientist. But I guess that's how scientists think now a days like everything else.
@ryanscottweise He said that they are mathematically real. The concept itself is scientifically sound. If the laws of physics permit such an event to occur ... well that's another story...
@ryanscottweise You need to do more reading on basic theoretical physics. Many complex concepts in physics, especially astrophysics, are worked out on paper years before proof is found or even before the means to obtain such proof are invented.
For example, no one has seen a Higgs-Boson particle. However, we spent 10 billion dollars to build a supercollider to look into it because so far the mathematics of quantum physics have successfully predicted and explained many subatomic phenomena.
@666SLAY3R666 I mean come on, those aliens were ridicolous. And the whole art deco and style is so lame. I think star trek has ruined space travel really. I think real astronauts watch some movies/tv and are inspired by that. 2001:space odyssey had a BIG influence on real space travel. You can look at space travel from the 60s and 70s, and the astronauts and art deco style of the tenchnology is kindof the same as in 2001" ......part 1-
@666SLAY3R666 ..-part 2 - You can tell that modern space travel/astronauts are really inspired by star trek, by the way they dress and stuff. The same way those 60s kids who wore greased hair and leatherjackets were inspired by elvis and stuff. Modern astronauts they behave and dress the same way as those star trek characters, with that cheap polyester clothing baggy clothes, and they behave kind of....well.....dorky. Old astronauts were so cool and stoic similair to 2001" -part 2
@666SLAY3R666 part 3- I dont want to ruin/offend your love for that startrekshow, but its not just me but alot of people that hate it. With those borgs/and plorks and cheap 3d and cheap polysesterclothing and the dorky weird troll like aliens and cheap costumes. I think star trek has ruined the general public love and fascination for space by being so weird and cheap. Star wars too, but real spaceagencies werent inspired by star wars so much as star trek so...
@666SLAY3R666 If stanly kubrick or someone with the same talents had made a star trek similair show about intergalactic spacetravel and stuff, and it wouldve been more what you call "practical" the public wouldve loved it and there'd be more interest and fascination for space travel by the general public. I really think this is not the only but the main reason spacebudget is so low these days. 0,05%, half a penny per person, compared to what...like 5% before star trek and star wars...... ???
If Kubrick created a tv show LIKE Star Trek, it would have been just another sci fi show from the 60's.
Star Trek has an optimistic vision for the future, a future in which people put aside their differences, abolish the shackles of religion and superstition, and overcome our human nature, it's a very promising view as to our socio-evolution and peaceful coexistence with each other, and other sentient life forms.
Cell phones are transceivers that pick up specific frequencies allocated by centralized network distribution nodes. They only work if you have "coverage" in your locale from one of these nodes, or "cells" (hence the term).
Star Trek communicators are two-way transmitters that contact each other directly and don't use a central network for distribution, and hence can be used anywhere if they are in range of each other.
What Star Trek inspired was the creation of a fancy walkie-talkie.
Moronic statement #1: "we don't know what happens when we go faster than light, yet." Nothing moves through space faster than light, hence the need to warp space-- not the same. #2: "it may be a way to extend the duration of life." Might be hard to enjoy a longer life when your subjective experience of time is exactly the same. You will not "feel" time move slower by moving faster-- though you may be able to watch the people around you age and die. This lady is lost.
Nice comments from Dr.Tyson. The gift of Star Trek is it,s appeal to humankind to stop waring over land, money and religion and pool our limited knowlege and use it for what is it,s higher purpose ! Explore the Universe !! "To boldly gone where no one has gone before!"
george burns said it best.. "remember one of my days isn't exatly one of yours".. if god wanted to make the universe and life and psyical thought.. like we have..then you have to create atoms.. how do you do that? fuse atoms in the pressure of the star.. all science does.. good science is to understand how it all works.... IMO
@gerardrbain1972 Gene Roddenberry used to write scripts for programs such as "Have Gun - Will Travel", and he promoted "Star Trek" as a sort of Wagon Train to the stars. I don't know if he really knew how well received "Star Trek" would eventually be. The communicators were evidentally the idea of George Clayton Johnson, who used to write for "The Twilight Zone", and other TV shows. It's all very interesting.
Thank you Neil for your permission to like star trek. If only you felt the same way about other people's god concepts, you'd stop being such an arrogant piece of !%$@%#
@MazeleyFanClub, respect is not an alien concept to me. I respect people, not ideas. The way I show respect to a person is to treat them like adults and be honest with them, not to lie to them about my opinion of their beliefs. Do you think pandering to someone and treating them like a child who can't handle a dissenting opinion is showing respect? How much respect do atheists get from Christians? They think we deserve to burn in hell for not sharing their beliefs. That's pretty disrespectful.
@theinquisitor Do you not like the way people evolved? i mean it would seem so..like your bashing the faults of how human beings came up..i actually think its quite mind altering and cool.
You just demanded respect after you called a person "an arrogant piece of !%$@%#"
You go on to say respect is "a concept alien to atheists such as yourself." as if all atheists were the same.
I don't think you're qualified to teach anyone anything about respect. Maybe no one cares what you believe because you're a nasty disrespectful person. I don't respect people who talk like you and neither does anyone else.
@MazeleyFanClub Disrespect is the proper kind of respect when presented with bullshit that is passed off as facts. Can believe whatever you want, but if it's fucking stupid, then don't get miffed at people rolling on the ground laughing at it.
@mistereveready Absolutely! I believe it was H L Mencken who said "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children, smart."
@GoblinXXX Even then, sometimes it's alright to tell someone they have an ugly wife, or dumbass child, if they insist on waving them in your face, or that it poses a danger to others. Doesn't mean I'm a dick to people, but I respect them enough to tell them their idea is fucking stupid. Well depends, sometimes these folks can be dangerous.
@GoblinXXX I respect people's beliefs in as much as we're all entitled to believe whatever craziness we want. I just think it's wrong to expect to be respected for having those beliefs, if that makes sense at all. I know a lot of Christians and I respect that they believe in Jesus Christ, but who they are and how they act ultimately defines how much respect I have for them personally. A jerk who believes in God is still a jerk, a polite atheist is still polite.
@MazeleyFanClub I find it hard to respect a doctrine that teaches us that says that those with AIDS can not wear condoms, a doctrine that preaches ignorance, a doctrine that tries to force its bronze age beliefs into the classroom, a doctrine that is far more concerned with controlling the population than it is with connecting people to god. Shall I continue?
Before getting to Stars we have to ESTABLISH HUMAN OPERATIONS, MINING, INDUSTRIAL AND SETTLEMENTS ON THE MOON. Launch systems and missions then to NEO's and comets that come by...continued establishments of additonal space settlements on the moon, then Human Landings on Mars, 150-200 person team....In 100 to 1,000 yrs travel @ ~10% of light speed one-way-trip---colonization; then tech breakthroughs to 50% light speed and space/time effect take over...but one way trips not rtn back to Earth.
@BADWOLFRYAN1, the characters were more irritating or bland than the previous series. The stories were recycled or nowhere near as thought provoking. They wasted a great opportunity with the maquis on board who assimilated faster than a new borg drone. Oh they ruined the borg by making them appear weak. Too many problems had a technobabble solution rather than a character based solution. I could go on, but perhaps I can say it all in one word: Neelix.
@theinquisitor I have to admit that Neelix never bothered me in any way while watching Voyager. I actually liked the character in the first three seasons or so. In my eyes, Voyager was pretty solid, with a lot of good episodes. However, some episodes were just really, really bad (I'm reminded of the one with the trans warp drive, or Kes' time paradox). But all in all, at least in my opinion, Voyager is underrated.
@theinquisitor I agree, the characters in voyager, particularly Captain Janeway, were freaking irritating. The stories were mediocre, but it was the smug, over-confident, condescending acting that made the series painful to watch. TNG will always be my favorite.
@theinquisitor this and SOO MUCH MORE. the total castration of the borg was pretty ridiculous. they really had some good ideas they couldve explored but said "hey guise lets do TNG part 2: LOST IN SPACE AKA Janeways Electric Boogaloo"
heres how i look at it. if you took the crews from TNG Ds9 and Voy. Ds9 and TNG would gang up and push voy out an airlock, Plot a course to Ryza and a call it done.
Voyager was an absolute joke. Awful, repetitive writing, inconsistent characters and worst of all, they quickly deviated from the interesting premise they'd set out: the dramatic tension between the Maquis and Starfleet crewmembers was nixed early on; they seemed to have an endless supply of shuttles to use up in their 'shuttle crash of the week' episodes, greatly diminishing the idea they were puttering along on limited resources; and the ship rarely looked the worse for wear.
@BADWOLFRYAN1 The YouTube user sfdebris (also a blib tv user) explains very well why most of voyager is bad. Also the science in voyager (and also in the rest of star trek) is pretty much nonsense. I think Tyson hasn't seen much of it. (what happens at warp 10, teching around a theoretical impossibility, crack in event horizon, a planet with a core of tachyons, how evolution works etc.)
I have been to New York city i have been in that exact same room at the science museum and i saw an astronomy show there it is AWESOME one of the most awesome museums in the world.
hah its too bad the star trek fantasy would never come true UNTIL we found another intelligent life form. we have to be united as a race before we can achieve tasks like the ones in star trek. ooh and we have to forget money ever existed lol. have you ever watched Planetes? Its actually a more realistic forecast of what our future of space exploration will be, drama included.
One thing that Star Trek got right even back in the 60's was the very diverse crew, like one Russian, one black woman, one Vulcan, etc. And now on the ISS we're there (except for the alien). Nowadays no one is raising an eyebrow, back then it must have been ahead of its time.
@kablamo9999 Star Trek wasn't ahead of it's time displaying that. Technology creation has always been a shared endeavor. However the people have never known that because the powers that be would rather us believe that one group is better than the other. Science doesn't work that way.
I think its hilarious how scientist look into space day in and day out and haven't found a single drop of life anywhere in the universe. out of all the trillions of stars and millions of galaxies. I got news for those guys "YOUR NEVER GOING TO FIND LIFE" I do have Good news though there is life out there. But if I told you what kind of life it is you will laugh.
@RespectMyHate, you make a lot of knowledge claims that you cannot possibly justify. We can't even image planets around other stars yet. There could be life around our closest stellar neighbour and there is no way we could possibly know about it. We haven't explored the entire universe yet so it's a bit premature to claim that there's no life in it. How could you possibly know whether there is life in a galaxy a billion light years from us? Theistic arrogance never ceases to astonish me.
@theinquisitor The odds of life arising by chance or by any type of darwinian means are astronimical. for it to have happened twice, calls for a creator. That woud only strenghten my faith in a creator GOD. Because if its alive its complex. complexity calls for a complex creator.
@RespectMyHate, yet another baseless factual claim. In order to calculate the probability of something, you need to have a detailed understanding of the process by which it can happen. Without that, you have no basis for calculating probability. No-one knows how life formed, or what the first life looked like. So you claim to know the probability of an unknown form being created by an unknown process. Now please try actually responding to my arguments rather than changing the subject every time.
@theinquisitor 3 billion chemicals make up DNA, all in the right order to make something as incredible as a human being. If you want to believe DNA and the systems involved to make DNA work evolved Go right ahead.
@RespectMyHate, modern DNA is the result of billions of years of selective changes accumulating. The first life was obviously not as complicated as a human being. If you take the time to study evolutionary processes, you'll see that there is no upper limit to potential complexity given enough time. Because it's all about gradual increases in complexity from generation to generation. The beginning didn't have to be complex, and it can build up slowly from simplicity. Study it, you'll see.
@theinquisitor Random mutations, natural selection and evolution, are the elements needed to make hearts(Pumps) veins (pipes), lungs(air Intakes), kidneys( Filtrations systems), eyes (Visual systems) , brains (super computers), bones (beems, for structual integrity), blood cells (air transporters), Muscles. If you want to believe these systems evolved with no intelligence involved go ahead. But its silly.
@RespectMyHate, oh it's silly? Brilliant argument. Calling all biologists, discard evolution because apparently it's silly.
Look, natural selection is not complicated, and if you'd bother to actually read a book about evolution or at least watch a documentary that wasn't written by a creationist you'd see how it works. If you have a mechanism that increases complexity by tiny degrees and it operates for billions of years, you get very complicated stuff. Have you ever actually studied evolution?
@theinquisitor Ok so what was the first heart like? did it have veins connected to it? what was the purpose of it if it wasn't a heart at first, did it beat? why did it beat? did it pump blood? was there blood first or the heart first? was it just one cell at first? then divide into two then millions of years later form into a fully fuctional pump? why would the organism need a pump if it lived for millions of years without a pump heart? or half a pump heart?
@RespectMyHate, the first organisms wouldn't have needed hearts. They only became necessary with larger animals that needed a better way to transport oxygen to their cells. I don't know the specifics of the evolution of the heart, but the first version of oxygen transport would have probably begun by simple diffusion, just life taking advantage of the nature of chemistry. Regarding a book about evolution I would recommend Jerry Coyne's: Why Evolution is True.
@theinquisitor But a heart must have gradually evolved from the smaller organism to the larger organism, so the smaller organism must have had something resembling a heart in order to pass the info on to the larger organism. Then you say simple diffusion, like its really simple. NOT. complexity is involved. then with the heart you need veins so explain that please. and blood. and electric current.
@RespectMyHate, I don't know the details of the evolution of the heart, I'm not an evolutionary biologist. But the heart obviously couldn't have formed in a single step. Circulatory systems would have to evolve like everything else. By accumulation of gradual differences from generation to generation. Biology is complicated, so I don't know why you expect me to quickly and easily provide you with detailed information that is usually presented in a university degree program.
@RespectMyHate, the question of the existence of god is a separate question to the question of whether evolution is how life arose. There are many people who believe in God and evolution. All that evolution does is disprove a particular conception of a God. God just isn't necessary to explain the origin of life, any more than God is necessary to explain lighting or gravity or wind or rain or any of the other things that science has shown us. But that in itself doesn't mean God doesn't exist.
@RespectMyHate, no human beings do not show signs of being intelligently designed. We eat through the same hole we breath with, assuring that some of us will choke to death. We have vestigial structures left over from our evolutionary ancestry, like the appendix and the tail bone. Did you know that a foetus in the womb will grow hair shortly before being born but lose it's hair before birth? Where's the intelligence in that? It's leftover from our ancestry as hairy apes. Read the book, please.
@theinquisitor No we breath through our noses, be we have the ability to breath through our mouths, you will choke if you eat to fast or if you try to swallow something thats too big. you need your appendix, but you can live without it. I will pay for you to have your tailbone removed if you don't need it see how far you can walk after.
@theinquisitor as for the hairy babies, I'm sure God has a purpose for it. But what about eyes and brains and tastebuds, and ears, and immune systems. you honestly believe these systems evolved?
@RespectMyHate, there's why creationism or ID is unscientific. You can just say "oh that's the just way God did it, I'm sure there's some purpose to it". I could present all the evidence for evolution and you could just dismiss it and say "God just made it look that way".
Yes I believe these systems evolved, but I am open to changing my mind if the evidence is forthcoming, as are any decent scientists. Finding fossil rabbits in the pre-cambrian strata for example would prove evolution wrong.
@PencilsAreAwesome, I don't know what you piss and fuck with, but my equipment for those tasks is dual-purposed. That's no proof of intelligent design. That's stupid design. A waste extraction system in the middle of an entertainment complex. Thanks. Oh and eating and breathing with the same hole ensures that some of us will die choking. Thanks again.
@theinquisitor Also a nerve that goes from the brain around the heart just to go back up the neck again. And this nerve not only exists in humans but also in giraffes!
@theinquisitor choking to death would require a physiological malfunction of a critical part of the digestive and respiratory systems- the epiglottis. besides, you can breathe through your nose. these systems were either designed or evolved to separate at the necessary time. sex as entertainment has more to do with the brain than reproductive systems efficiently sharing the same organ as our digestive system. these ideas don't disprove god but are fun to consider.
@justinlloyd2, it's not about disproving god, it's about disproving creationism. The point is these systems are horribly unoptimised. Take the laryngeal nerve for example. It takes an absurdly circuitous and unnecessary path up and down the neck, which is inherited from our fish-like ancestors who didn't have necks. This is particularly wasteful in the giraffe. It could be much much shorter and do the same job. Any engineer who did that would be fired. Look it up. There are lots of examples.
@PencilsAreAwesome But dog's also piss and shit from different holes aswell. Everyone knows what dog spelled backwards is right? Maybe God is my dog or your cat or...
@RespectMyHate No not a wizard a God theres a big difference. Look since the universe displays order and design beyond human comprehension, science already knows that the universe had a beginning, The thing is what started it, Its not ignorant to assume that an intelligence created it since it has the characteristics of a Intelligently created system. This is just my opinion.
@RespectMyHate what would have to happen for you to believe in God? For God to create the universe right before your eyes? for God to appear right in front of you and say hi I'm GOD, and this is God my son, And this is God the holy Ghost and they take you to heaven and give you a grand tour of paradise would you believe in it then? I believe in God because I see the things he has made.
@theinquisitor Because everybody believes in God, whether you want to believe in Him or not you know hes there. you can say there is no God all day long but your really in denial. God makes his presence known to everybody who has ever lived, so that when we all physically see God with our eyes we have no excuse to say we didn't have evidence for your existance. Becuase the evidence is literally everywhere.
@RespectMyHate, oh I see, you're an idiot. Are your beliefs really so fragile that you can't even tolerate the possibility that people disagree with you? Even if that absurd idea was true, there is no possible way you could know it. Do you have direct knowledge of the internal perceptions of every person who ever lived? Presumptuous imbecile.
@theinquisitor You would have to take into consideration the time the movie actually took place, which was in the year 11,000 something. Accurate in physics in what we so far understand. All of which you brought up are the ideal possibilities that I think could happen in the near future. Who knows what kind of engineering that drill had it didn't state any specifications.
@anime891, er no, I said 23rd century. That's 2200+. Anyway sorry to go nuts at you but I just really really hate that movie. It's a complete rape of Roddenberry's legacy, and the mainstream loves it. So the Star Trek I know is dead forever. I'm just a bit bitter about that. The real reason I hate the movie has nothing to do with the physics. Star Trek physics has always been dodgy at best. Especially with things like the transporter, although warp drive is based on real physics.
@anime891, there is a good reason for the fan hatred. Star Trek was special. It was about a positive view of the future. It was a portrayal of humanity at it's best, having fulfilled our potential and outgrown our childhood as a species. It was modern mythology. It's not about spaceships and aliens. It's about people and how they struggle to do what's right in a chaotic universe. It shaped my view on life and morality like nothing else. But the new film was empty, just another action movie.
@anime891, it takes place in the 23rd century, not the 111th. And my point is that it's NOT accurate with regard to what we know about physics. And that's fine, but you can't simultaneously claim that the physics are accurate while rejecting known physics.
You can't drill into a liquid. Try making a hole in some water. You wouldn't even need to drill, just put it the black hole on the surface and it'll suck up the planet matter. That's just gravity. Are we going to overturn gravity some day?
@theinquisitor Yeah, I corrected myself with the time but thanks anyways. I guess what I put about being accurate in physics isn't so broad, so to break it down, some of the concepts interpreted in the movie are somewhat very accurate to our knowledge. Some of the ideas (such as the drill) bedazzle us about what kind of technology it has. Being in the 23rd century who knows what technology they had on the drill. Talking about the drill, wouldn't the liquid just drop straight into the core?
On a different note, this is the first program that I recall seeing Dr. Baliunas in since the BBC production of "The Planets" done in 1999; I don't know what she's done, but she looks 10 years younger here instead of 10 years older! Great!
Why so much Voyager and no TNG? ;_;

I really think this is not the only but the main reason spacebudget is so low these days. 0,05%, half a penny per person, compared to what...like 5% before star trek and star wars...... ???

If Kubrick created a tv show LIKE Star Trek, it would have been just another sci fi show from the 60's.
Star Trek has an optimistic vision for the future, a future in which people put aside their differences, abolish the shackles of religion and superstition, and overcome our human nature, it's a very promising view as to our socio-evolution and peaceful coexistence with each other, and other sentient life forms.

Cell phones are transceivers that pick up specific frequencies allocated by centralized network distribution nodes. They only work if you have "coverage" in your locale from one of these nodes, or "cells" (hence the term).
Star Trek communicators are two-way transmitters that contact each other directly and don't use a central network for distribution, and hence can be used anywhere if they are in range of each other.
What Star Trek inspired was the creation of a fancy walkie-talkie.

Moronic statement #1: "we don't know what happens when we go faster than light, yet." Nothing moves through space faster than light, hence the need to warp space-- not the same. #2: "it may be a way to extend the duration of life." Might be hard to enjoy a longer life when your subjective experience of time is exactly the same. You will not "feel" time move slower by moving faster-- though you may be able to watch the people around you age and die. This lady is lost.

@gerardrbain1972 Gene Roddenberry used to write scripts for programs such as "Have Gun - Will Travel", and he promoted "Star Trek" as a sort of Wagon Train to the stars.

The communicators were evidentally the idea of George Clayton Johnson, who used to write for "The Twilight Zone", and other TV shows. It's all very interesting.

@MazeleyFanClub, respect is not an alien concept to me. I respect people, not ideas. The way I show respect to a person is to treat them like adults and be honest with them, not to lie to them about my opinion of their beliefs. Do you think pandering to someone and treating them like a child who can't handle a dissenting opinion is showing respect? How much respect do atheists get from Christians? They think we deserve to burn in hell for not sharing their beliefs. That's pretty disrespectful.

@BADWOLFRYAN1, the characters were more irritating or bland than the previous series. The stories were recycled or nowhere near as thought provoking. They wasted a great opportunity with the maquis on board who assimilated faster than a new borg drone. Oh they ruined the borg by making them appear weak. Too many problems had a technobabble solution rather than a character based solution. I could go on, but perhaps I can say it all in one word: Neelix.

Voyager was an absolute joke. Awful, repetitive writing, inconsistent characters and worst of all, they quickly deviated from the interesting premise they'd set out: the dramatic tension between the Maquis and Starfleet crewmembers was nixed early on; they seemed to have an endless supply of shuttles to use up in their 'shuttle crash of the week' episodes, greatly diminishing the idea they were puttering along on limited resources; and the ship rarely looked the worse for wear.

@RespectMyHate, you make a lot of knowledge claims that you cannot possibly justify. We can't even image planets around other stars yet. There could be life around our closest stellar neighbour and there is no way we could possibly know about it. We haven't explored the entire universe yet so it's a bit premature to claim that there's no life in it. How could you possibly know whether there is life in a galaxy a billion light years from us? Theistic arrogance never ceases to astonish me.

@theinquisitor The odds of life arising by chance or by any type of darwinian means are astronimical. for it to have happened twice, calls for a creator. That woud only strenghten my faith in a creator GOD. Because if its alive its complex. complexity calls for a complex creator.
RespectMyHate 1 year ago
@RespectMyHate, yet another baseless factual claim. In order to calculate the probability of something, you need to have a detailed understanding of the process by which it can happen. Without that, you have no basis for calculating probability. No-one knows how life formed, or what the first life looked like. So you claim to know the probability of an unknown form being created by an unknown process. Now please try actually responding to my arguments rather than changing the subject every time.

@theinquisitor 3 billion chemicals make up DNA, all in the right order to make something as incredible as a human being. If you want to believe DNA and the systems involved to make DNA work evolved Go right ahead.
RespectMyHate 1 year ago
@RespectMyHate, modern DNA is the result of billions of years of selective changes accumulating. The first life was obviously not as complicated as a human being. If you take the time to study evolutionary processes, you'll see that there is no upper limit to potential complexity given enough time. Because it's all about gradual increases in complexity from generation to generation. The beginning didn't have to be complex, and it can build up slowly from simplicity. Study it, you'll see.
theinquisitor 1 year ago
@theinquisitor Random mutations, natural selection and evolution, are the elements needed to make hearts(Pumps) veins (pipes), lungs(air Intakes), kidneys( Filtrations systems), eyes (Visual systems) , brains (super computers), bones (beems, for structual integrity), blood cells (air transporters), Muscles. If you want to believe these systems evolved with no intelligence involved go ahead. But its silly.
RespectMyHate 1 year ago
@RespectMyHate, oh it's silly? Brilliant argument. Calling all biologists, discard evolution because apparently it's silly.
Look, natural selection is not complicated, and if you'd bother to actually read a book about evolution or at least watch a documentary that wasn't written by a creationist you'd see how it works. If you have a mechanism that increases complexity by tiny degrees and it operates for billions of years, you get very complicated stuff. Have you ever actually studied evolution?
theinquisitor 1 year ago
@theinquisitor Ok so what was the first heart like? did it have veins connected to it? what was the purpose of it if it wasn't a heart at first, did it beat? why did it beat? did it pump blood? was there blood first or the heart first? was it just one cell at first? then divide into two then millions of years later form into a fully fuctional pump? why would the organism need a pump if it lived for millions of years without a pump heart? or half a pump heart?
RespectMyHate 1 year ago
@RespectMyHate, the first organisms wouldn't have needed hearts. They only became necessary with larger animals that needed a better way to transport oxygen to their cells. I don't know the specifics of the evolution of the heart, but the first version of oxygen transport would have probably begun by simple diffusion, just life taking advantage of the nature of chemistry. Regarding a book about evolution I would recommend Jerry Coyne's: Why Evolution is True.
theinquisitor 1 year ago
@theinquisitor But a heart must have gradually evolved from the smaller organism to the larger organism, so the smaller organism must have had something resembling a heart in order to pass the info on to the larger organism. Then you say simple diffusion, like its really simple. NOT. complexity is involved. then with the heart you need veins so explain that please. and blood. and electric current.
RespectMyHate 1 year ago
@RespectMyHate, I don't know the details of the evolution of the heart, I'm not an evolutionary biologist. But the heart obviously couldn't have formed in a single step. Circulatory systems would have to evolve like everything else. By accumulation of gradual differences from generation to generation. Biology is complicated, so I don't know why you expect me to quickly and easily provide you with detailed information that is usually presented in a university degree program.

@RespectMyHate So you really don't believe in God? for you God is out of the equation?

@RespectMyHate, the question of the existence of god is a separate question to the question of whether evolution is how life arose. There are many people who believe in God and evolution. All that evolution does is disprove a particular conception of a God. God just isn't necessary to explain the origin of life, any more than God is necessary to explain lighting or gravity or wind or rain or any of the other things that science has shown us. But that in itself doesn't mean God doesn't exist.

@anime891, there is a good reason for the fan hatred. Star Trek was special. It was about a positive view of the future. It was a portrayal of humanity at it's best, having fulfilled our potential and outgrown our childhood as a species. It was modern mythology. It's not about spaceships and aliens. It's about people and how they struggle to do what's right in a chaotic universe. It shaped my view on life and morality like nothing else. But the new film was empty, just another action movie.

You can't drill into a liquid. Try making a hole in some water. You wouldn't even need to drill, just put it the black hole on the surface and it'll suck up the planet matter. That's just gravity. Are we going to overturn gravity some day?

@theinquisitor Yeah, I corrected myself with the time but thanks anyways. I guess what I put about being accurate in physics isn't so broad, so to break it down, some of the concepts interpreted in the movie are somewhat very accurate to our knowledge. Some of the ideas (such as the drill) bedazzle us about what kind of technology it has. Being in the 23rd century who knows what technology they had on the drill. Talking about the drill, wouldn't the liquid just drop straight into the core?

I hate when they dwell too much on the made up technical stuff, it's boring.

On a different note, this is the first program that I recall seeing Dr. Baliunas in since the BBC production of "The Planets" done in 1999; I don't know what she's done, but she looks 10 years younger here instead of 10 years older! Great!

I believe Dr. Baliunas passed away a few years ago.
I was in touch with her for my Amateur Hubble Telescope proposal and she helped me tremendously.

Seriously? Over TNG?

Oh, if I were to compare, it would be
DSN 10%
Voyager 45%
TNG 44%
TOS 1%
I like Voyagers premise, even though I find that I like allot of TNG's episodes, it's certainly close ;D
