Enjoy!

Today, I am embarking on a 2 year journey through Star Trek history, and I invite all of you to join me.

Star Trek: The Journey

Everyday, for the next 2 years, I will be setting aside 45 minutes to watch an episode of Star Trek, starting with TOS and ending with the 2009 Abrams film (and most likely, Star Trek XII). I will span 30 seasons, including 727 episodes, and 11 movies.

I will update this thread daily with the current episode as well as the link(s) of where to watch it on your computer, iPhone or iPad. I hope many of you will join me :) So, without further adieu, set a course for history. ENGAGE!

pretty dots and lines....

very cool. thanks for sharing :)

Basically the same, but I liked this triangle. Little less 21st century.

Submission 1. Simple, and there's probably another like it :)

To make that final leap from the 9th to 10th dimension, why not discuss other possibilities than existence? Perhaps there are shades of something else that we can't even imagine because our own brains are so tied to existence as a necessary precondition to, well, everything.

Another thing that has recently blown my mind is the concept of how our perception fits into all of this. Basically, everything we experience is a mental construct that our brains have evolved to create in order to make sense of our world. Or to put it another way, "There is no spoon." Just probability waves that we perceive as a spoon, because our ancestors found that seeing and feeling the spoon leads to surviving long enough to procreate.

Then, if you add STO back into the discussion, you introduce a level of indirection into our perceptions. We're now seeing and hearing things in the virtual world that don't exist as physical objects in themselves, or at least not as the physical objects (spaceships and alien races) that we see and interact with. They are just patterns of electrons moving (very quickly) through silicon chips. But what we think of as reality is not all that different. It's just patterns of particles whizzing around in mostly-empty space.

And with that, my brain has reached critical heat and is shutting down to protect the hardware from permanent damage. System rebooting. . . .

Fascinating...

Woooooooooooooow... I feel like I understand EVERYTHING!!! :silly:

That was amazing. mind = blown

Okay, this explains those wormhole alien things.

Wow. Crazy.

My brain kinda hurts lol

Wrap your brains around this.

I've been putting www.stonewallfleet.com in my char details.

If I recall, isn't there a setting to display fleet names? Not that it works.

Hopefully the stay actually does get lifted. This gives the proponents of Prop 8 time to file an appeal to the 9th Circuit, who could put an injunction on lifting the stay until they've had time to rule.

Also, I'm rather ticked at Lambda Legal. I originally heard from them that the stay had been immediately lifted, which was wrong. Apparently they got their info from a blogger. What kind of legal agency gets its news from a freaking BLOGGER!?

Well...there goes me respect for them. Blogger? FFS!

So, it's lifted on the 18th...

But you can start filing paperwork and stuff now.

:blink:

BTW, the info comes from National Equality March who got it from Lambda Legal.
