I like the whole idea of shields and polarized hull plating. Scientists in the real world are actually working on both. Which makes me love that idea even more! 
Plus beam weapons. Lazer pistols are now being mass produced and are being integrated into the english & american armys. Also a large prototype laser emmiter has been fittet to the front of a passenger airplane Boeing 747 (I think. well a plane similar to that anyways) They are testing it now. and they hope to begin placing these laser beams on the front of all major passenger aircraft within the next 3 years.
I love the fact that lots of star trek stuff is beciming real. Even though they do actually have researchers and scientists which make the techology and technobable for star trek  |
Actually, it IS a 747, and the laser takes up nearly the whole fuselage. The lasers they want to install on passenger craft (it won't happen until a terrorist really does bring one down) are only powerful enough to mis-direct missiles, not blow them up.

^How would such a laser system get enough energy? I would like to read more on that tech.

It's a chemical laser. The energy is provided by a reaction obtained by mixing chemicals. The aircraft will carry a limited number of shots. I don't know the URL, but the I am sure there is at least one web site covering this project.

The warp core is made out of reinforced Duranium composites, but the duranium dosnt contain the Matter/Anti-matter reaction. there is a magnetic constriction that acts like a giant suppercollider to contain the reactions and elements needed for the reaction.
so theoretically the warp core could be made ot of tissue paper.
