Those are some fine DSLs.

O'Brien was way better than Geordi and Scott.

Ya he really kept those warp engines going on the station.

It was foreign technology too.

STFU. you'll always be Babar with mascara.

The only hope for humanity is that we're constantly wrong about things. Science, Religion, and each other. The only thing that allows us to advance is to discard old ideas when they stop being useful and figure out a better model.

We'll probably figure out faster than light travel someday be it teleporting, folding space or just going really really fast. I see no problem with rewriting the physics books again, it'd make someone's career fer sure

I remeber somewhere there was thought that certain matter can effect other matter far away, sometimes at faster than the speed of light. FTL FTW.

Sure, you can all say "Well you never know, man" but that's pothead navel-gazing and not science. You have to take into account prior plausibility.

Also, science never made the claim that the Earth was flat. In fact, the Greeks used math to figure out it was round in their time. You want to know the reason we had to essentially 'rediscover' that fact? Religion.

From here on I have an issue with.

And you can keep trying to take an insanely pessimistic view of these thoughts, but history is actually "not" on your side in this case. Sure you can keep saying, "Well none of these things are likely to happen, so never comment or mention them..." but thats the "being disproven" is more important than "being right" trap of science that far too many modern day scientists currently seem to be stuck in. It seems to happen to a scientist when they start to forget the "very real" possibility that they may actually know nothing at all.

So I'll say this too you.

Let the dreamer's dream and let the scientists disprove, fight over, and eventually steal their dreams and make em reality. Just like its always been.

But please try not to forget that without the dream, there isn't a reality.

Falsifiability is a part of Science; if something can not be disproved, then it cannot be a scientific theory.
