    Isn't this meant to be proper science rather than sci-fi?

      Isn't all science rooted in sci-fi?

          Isn't that a faulty syllogism?

            That could be a rhetorical question ...

                You think that an Alien Vessel "hiding" at L2 is the weakest "science" in
                Star Trek TNG...........

                I was more worried about "Warp Speed", "Instant Matter Transfer" and Time Travel....

                  Of all the "science" things, the holodeck would be the coolest ...

                    I didnt say that Alien vessels lurking at L2 was weak science at all - if I was a UFO Commander - which I am not - it would be an excellent place to lurk .


                    Warp Speed - is possible - you meed to study the Physics of Inflation Theory which we didnt really get a handle on until 2016 - then you can travel faster than light within reason.


                    As for Time Travel - that is impossible.

                    Well - we can travel forward in Time but going backward is a tad more difficult - so Ive been told.

                      Do try to keep up........ I queried the "acuracy" of Science in ST TNG and you came back with L2 being a good place to hide an Alien Ship.... ie by directly quoting my post you implied that your L2 argument was a direct rebuttal to my "weak science" proposition.
                      I agree that L2 is not a good example of "bad" science and still contend that other better bad examples exist

                      NB Alf will agree with me soon:

                      Altough ... as I explained in my previous post 'Time Travel' is impossible but 'Warp Speed' is , or relative - to yourself will be - and most important of all -
