Dear editors of Homeopathy Monthly: I have two small corrections for your July issue.  One, it's spelled "echinacea", and two, homeopathic medicines are no better than placebos and your entire magazine is a sham.

[FFMaster]

I never watched star trek, but it felt like they were making more sense than the woman talking about Stephen HawkingS

"the hull of the shuttle is made of tritanium alloy, at the speeds we're talking about, that alloy could depolarize.

And create a velocity differential.  Now, the fuselage would be traveling at a different rate than the na-cells(?)

That just means we need to set up a depolarization matrix around the fuselage!"

Apparently if tritanium alloy depolarizes, it had an adverse effect on the shuttle's speed by somehow increasing resistance/surface area/some form of slowdown even if THEY'RE IN SPACE.  Now, the na-cells (star trek speak for the engine + fuel combo pack, basically), are traveling at a different speed than the actual shuttle.  and rather than actually propel the shuttle with them, like they're friggin supposed to do, instead they begin to pull AWAY from the rest of the shuttle because of unknown space resistance.

Hence, by setting up a MATRIX around the entire shuttle, this alloy depolarization doesn't occur, space resistance is now something managable and no more seperation of engine and hunk of metal.

Come on people, this is failure analysis and subsequent prevention 101.

ps - loved the video skip

Star Trek is really bad at throwing a lot of meaningless technobabble.  You can kind of get the gist of what they're saying, but its mostly meaningless nonsense.

John Benneth is a scary/crazy motherfucker.  For his vid complaining about Steve Novella (a critic of homeopathy), he titled the vid "Yale's Nigger".  Yes, he went that far.  He's also compared the treatment of Homeopathy to the treatment of Jews by the Nazis.
