Kirk & Crew Timewarp back to 1986

Time Warping from the future to the past. In order to save Earth of the 23rd Century,the exiled Admiral Kirk and the crew of the late Starship Enterprise take their captured Klingon Starship back to Earth of 1986 to find Humpback Whales. It is only the Humpback Whale that will successfully communicate with the probe that is destroying 23rd Century Earth.

Ah...1986...a very good year. :-)

[GEMINITREKKER]

@Carpathia1086 YES! It was!! Good Music from that year too!

Why does the ship nearly shake itself apart when going to warp 9?

[GEMINITREKKER]

@clonmultcity Howdy! Sorry for taking so long to reply.I believe the ship nearly shakes itself apart because it is an old Klingon ship that cannot withstand the speed. Im not sure of any other technical reasons.Someone else may be able to shed light on that.The Enterprise D,I believe could not exceed that speed either.

@logandarklighter I should do a video of Star Trek warp scenes with that song from Rocky Horror on it! lol.Thanks for commenting.

Doc Emmet Brown's ship

@GEMINITREKKER it could but not above 9.965

@MrLazy27 Of course, according to the movie Superman, one need not necessarily "warp" space in order to achieve time travel. He was able to slingshot himself around the earth at the speed of light to travel backwards in time. In that case, it was merely the acceleration past the speed of light that enabled time travel.

[MrLazy27]

@studentrebel The gravitational field around any object is actually a warp in the space-time continuum. The larger the object, the larger the gravitational field (and hence the warp in space-time). Travelling at warp speeds is also a result of warping space-time. So, hurtleing yourself at the sun (which has a gravitational field that is warping space-time) at warp 9 (also warping space-time) may result in time trave. There you go, warp+warp=timewarp I suppose.

My car shakes about just like that when I drive really fast on a motorway!

So why dont the Borg just fly around a few suns? Better yet, in the remake why doesnt Old Spock just fly around a sun and bring Vulcan back? I love Star Trek but when a time travel story pops up my brain screams "UUURRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!"

Of course I might be seriosuly wrong, but i think it can be somehow partially related with Einstein theory saying then if a person could move (on Earth) with a light speed (hipothetically), he could see then the back of his head. I belive it's implemented here too. They entered warp 10 (travel whole galaxy in few seconds?) + sun's gravity pushed them even more, so they could have "see" themselves in the past. They see image of theirs in the past?.... Kind of...

[caganb]

Warp 10 and they would bypass galaxies not go slowly around the sun. They were on impulse power I think

@GEMINITREKKER

I have been scouring YouTube for this very scene. I never could figure out why the time travel sequence used such trippy imagery ! Fascinating scene though.

[evilwarcow]

Yes you said it.

[Gasoline85]

"Let's do the timewarp again!"

[dovmarcu]

If quantum mechanics is combined with the theory of relativity,time travel seems possible.

[GEMINITREKKER]

Im to understand that a slingshot around the sun at near warp 10 would send a ship backward through time. They got it to warp 10 then braked fast, then slingshot! There you are...1986! lol. Im not sure exactly how.Thanks for commenting.

[studentrebel]

I have been watching this scene over and over again, analysing every part of it and yet still can't understand how they travelle dback in time by just going round the sun?
