Deep Space 9
Anthony,
Actually we were discussing Star Treks disregard for the laws of
relativity, esp. the relationship of mass in direct proportion to speed.
How a ship cannot exceed the speed of lihgt because their mass would
become infinite.
As for the transporter using a matter stream, I never heard that one,
although I must admit I am not a "Trekkie", just a casual observer.
Although more pluasible then conversion to energy, how far down do they go
for the matter stream? If they go to the atomic level, storing the entire
pattern for a person would consume a vast amount of memory. Even stoping
at the molecular level would leave quite a task for storage and
reconstruction.
