Default Top 10 'Star Trek' tech that became real
While trying to sign up for a Yahoo ID, I got unintentionally subjected to a news item (I try to avoid all news). This time, though, it was an interesting news item.

I know Steve, Erin, and probably a lot of other people are into Star Trek (I'm more of a Dragonball Z and Batman fan myself), so I thought they'd appreciate seeing this:

Top 10 Star Trek Tech

Enjoy, Trekkies!

Thanks for that! I'm a total Trek NUT. I've been to the Experience in Las Vegas several times and I just have the time of my life! Woo hoo!

Thank you for that - raised a few smiles.

Of all the things to get passionate about being the realms of reality I have to admit that I've got a softspot for Star Trek.

They forgot to mention Warp Drives.

Miguel Alcubierre already figured out how to make it work in his theory.

I. Love. This.

They forgot to mention the iTouch. It's a data pad!

What fun, Bruce! Thanks for that!

Oops, I only just noticed this thread is almost as ancient as the original Star Trek!

I talked to one of those VIPs in the world of science and he said that it is theoretically possible to rebuild an an atomic structure/molecules, but it would not transfer the living being. It is more like destroying here, being rebuild there, so basically it disintegrates you, and creates a clone of you.

I think a more suitable solution would be to use an Alcubierre drive where you step forward and cross the threshold bewteen your current location and destination, using a gate of compressed space. That would not kill you.

Cool
I watched the origanals with my dad when i was a kid. So they ask the computer a question and a few seconds later the computer says "working" They couldnt even imagine computers that are as fast as ours are now, that far in the future.
