I believe Darrin is correct about how warp drive works. Roddenberry was a bit of a science geek and double checked everything ... (poor guy was trapped next to me once on a flight from LA to NYC in the 80’s) I had so many questions! When we landed he said, “I normally get tens of thousands of dollars for that speech!” Hahhaha!! Like I said, he was trapped! I was effing thrilled!🤣)

and the moral of your missive? (besides the well-known facts of your utterly endearing geekdom) that it's useless and spurious to expect any sort of meaningful dialogue w/someone who punctuates their statements w/imbecile & moron...

in some ways, things haven't changed, it's just the web has made hateful trolls that much more visible, empowered and expedient...

Did this occur on Prodigy ? They had a group of fanatical Trekophiles on there. I've been a Trek fan / science fiction fan up until Discovery.

Star Trek needs to use an Alcubierre drive ( theoretical drive involving space moving AROUND a ship or ships ).
