But I thought they travel by way of warping space, not by merely going really fast. Hence the name, "warp" drive. So the space around them would be moving with them. You'd think a physicist would know this.

Gon fix it with me hammer

yeah, well ST isn't consistent, they once took a Bird of Prey, going warp 10 or so around the sun so they'de go back into time...
So it's not warping space, or time... and it's effectively more like going like a bat out of hell

since I don't plan on traveling at warp speed anytime soon I am not going to worry about this. further since my mind does travel at warp speeds I am still not going to worry as enough of my brain cells are already dead as to warrant no further concern about losing any mental facilities.

OK, let's say you can get up to light speed. First, what is the maximum g force a human can withstand? How long would it take, at the max g force, to reach light speed? I've always wondered this, but don't have the math skills.
BTW, the Enterprize reached warp speed in seconds. Roddenberry actually "invented" a g-force dampener to protect the crew.

That scientist guy doesn't know squat.
Everyone (besides him) knows that warp drive space ships have shields that would protect the people on board from the hydrogen atoms and particles. You'd just have to divert all auxilliary power to the forward shields. SCOTTY I NEED FULL POWER! Jordy could kick Scotty's arse in everything except a drinking game. And maybe Marco Polo. Jordy would get caught cheating and get disqualified. Duh. |

 The dish with the spike in front is a "Navigational Deflector". Its job is to keep the space dust out of the way. Problem solved.

He11..using a space ship to bebop around the Galaxy is old fashion...why limit yourself to the Galaxy think BIG the UNIVERSE U can use the TABS method of teleporting yourself through mind control.
I often visit other planets...why just the other day it was Alpha Centuri....
