Keep On Trekin

While I've made it well known about myself that I enjoy the science fiction show Star Trek, I like it more for its fiction than for its science. On the whole, I find it too optimistic to be believable. I don't think there is any other intelligent life in the universe. I don't believe in Klingons and Romulans. I yield to the travel barriers posed by the speed of light. As an object approaches light speed, its mass approaches infinity. I laugh at the transporter beam. When a molecule is displaced, it never returns to precisely the same location. Language is the invention of humans. Out of all the animals on the planet, except perhaps whales, we are the only ones to possess the power of speech. It seems foolhardy to expect a similar development from the differently evolved life of an alien planet. I don't think the problems between the nations of the world will ever be resolved. And I don't see money ever becoming obsolete as long as it sustains the establishment. At the same time, I do find the show inspiring. I think we should reach for the stars. I just don't think we'll find anything approaching what the U.S.S. Enterprise found. I enjoy the characters and the issues raised by a lot of the stories as long as it isn't one of those silly soap operas in space. I watched the original series and Star Trek TNG. Anything after that was pushing it for me.
