Will trek technology ever be real?

Curtis · **Fri Oct 12, 2001 8:11 pm Will trek technology ever be real?**

I've been wondering if anybody out there thinks what I think and that is that someday our scientists will invent Star Trek technology, especially the technology that was on the U.S.S. Voyager, which would be really cool I think and if they do I hope I would get to the Captain of one of the ships they use it on!!!!

Perhaps, I know they are already working on some aspects like hyposprays. I wouldn't count on Warp speed in the near future, though.

Just Wacth AND see, it's out there for the taking

I know for a fact that they are. They've alreaady been working on "no hands" piloting already, but instead piloting w/ the mind using brain waves and what not. It was on PBS 2 nights ago. It was very interesting. And they've also been working on many ways to "survive" on a planet like Mars and recycle water and make oxygen and a bunch of other things on mars too. It's quiet interesting what they're already capable of doing right now.

They've already got laser scalpels... they use them to operate on eyes and stuff.
I can't wait for hyposprays... I'm needlephobic!

Stop spamming with your difficult-to-read, and COMPLETELY off-topic posts!

I can read it.

Sure I hope well as I always say "If you can dream you can achive." this is only the set guys think about the real stuff...

Dax Orien · **Sat Oct 13, 2001 10:54 pm**

The tech will be real.

one day i think this technology will become avalible, what do u think we pay NASA for

Dr Tolian Soran · **Sun Oct 14, 2001 10:35 am**

Look what's happened with mobile phones, video phone, etc.

I definately think tech will improve greatly. If we carry on advancing we could probably get a lot more advanced than voyager

i know that the goverment has force fields ! but they r not invisable yet to bad !! i really want a phaser and a tricorder!

Voyager's deltaflyer would ba real treat for the scientists

LOL

They say necessity is the mother of invention. Well, a while back the government had an advanced stealth plane....but it was useless if it got the least bit damp.

I sense deflectors coming......

Seven of Nine · **Sun Oct 28, 2001 4:38 am**

Isn't a tricorder just a small complex diagnostic tool? I'm sure we can combine what we have now into smaller diagnostic tools, and eventually into a tricorder!

BTW: I don't think we will ever have dilithium, because it's very unlikely that such a mineral will exsist out there.

Dax Orien · **Sun Oct 28, 2001 9:53 am**

That is definetly true

You never know dillithium could be out there! Hopefully!

Dax Orien · **Sun Oct 28, 2001 10:12 am**

Think again Narkachu

Lindley · **Sun Oct 28, 2001 3:49 pm**

Dilithium, (Li2), is does not easily bond. The bond order would only be 0.5 if I'm not mistaken. Plus, there are other considerations---I'm sure it can be made experimentally, but for it to occur naturally would be unlikely.

ivylgtiger · **Mon Oct 29, 2001 12:08 am**

The idea behind dilithium is sound even if the physical
chemistry would dictate a different elemental source.

The need for a different fuel source to approach the
speed of light is real. Just think how the World Spacestation
is going to change our possibilities by building starship
"dry docks" in orbit rather than expending the total fuel load
necessary to get an interplanetary spaceship through the
Earth's gravity!

well this technology is in the making for sure and i have no dobt that we well acheive the type of technology...as a matter of fact, next week Video-Cell-Phones are being released, just like its brother the video-phone you will be able to talk to people and see them...with the benefits of it being mobile. They are also releasing the same type of Video-Cell-Phone as a watch...this will be released in 1 month from now...Thats just 2 items of hundreds of thousands planned to be released between 2001-2002!

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A HOLODECK THAT BE SO COOL
